NEVER SAW
F D { IN
RING
By Gene Tunney

SPECULATOR, n. Y, July
2.-There may be some specu-
lation as to how / shall pre-
pare for my bout with Tom
Heeney, in the Yankee Stadium
on July &c, when | have never
seen the New Zealander in
action either in a gymnasium
or an actual ring contest.
one OF the most important parts
Of the equipment my trainer, Lou
Fink. brought to Spectator when
we settled down a few weeks ago
to steady work, was the moving pic
lures of Heeney's most importa mt
bouts. those with Jack ShaTkey and
Jack Delaney during the past
had heard a great deal about
Heeney, his style of boxing. his
mannerisms in the ring. and, along
with all that, received much advice
as to the best way to oppose him.
Every man whose judgment of ring
men have had reason to respect
told me that my coming opponent in
the championship match WAS a
tough, strong, game fellow.
The Washington times., 1928-07-02

do not believe, however. that
I would have employed against
Heeney the ring tactics that both
Sharkey and Delaney used. l be-
1ieve that there is a more effective
system of combating the New
| Zealander's bull-like rushes, his ire
mendous strength in the clinches.
and the short right-hand punches
to the body that weakened both
those men.
That system I am working on
now but l am frank to admit that
as yet I am not sure just how
potent it will prove. AS my box
ing in camp improves and speed
comes with daily training. then ii
will be possible to definitely fore
cast it's chances Of success. II
find that system will not work then
shall be forced to adopt another.
One of the things the pictures
impressed upon me was the ease
with which Heeney landed his right
hand on the bodies of both Sharkey
and Delaney and the difficulty with
which they in return landed their
rights to Toms head. While train.
ing for both bouts, / am told that
Heeney was easy TO hit with a
right hand.
Perhaps that was Toms way of
inviting Sharkey and Delaney to
throw that punch his way. When
ever 1t did come. Heeney stepped
aside and drove his own right to
the body. After the first round or
two neither of those opponents
threw a dozen right hands all told
during the remainder of the fight.
A man as clever in his ability TO
fool two opponents of the type OF
Sharkey and Delaney will bear
watching. can take no chances
with him.

The Washington times., 1928-07-02

It is best always, of course, to
see a probable opponent in
action before meeting him. In
that way another boxer can get
an idea of just how the man
shapes up in the ring-his style,
footW0rL, his favorite punch or
punches, and little things that
one boxer notes In another that
no one else sees.

Some things that do not seem I'M
portant to even the manager of a
boxer have great effect on the
boxer himself. Close engagements
are won by little things and it Is
best to be thoroughly prepared.
Since 1t was impossible to see
Heeney in action. the pictures OF
his contests with the most important
men he defeated were the next b. st
thing.
Al few days after / arrived in
camp, before actual boxing began.
and when / still was confined to
system generally, Lou Fink and
arranged for a private showing of
the films at the movie house in the
village.
We had them projected and I sat
beside Lou in the darkness. watch
ing Heeney go through his battles
{ all over again with the two men
most favored by critics to beat him
last winter. We compared notes
and from what saw realized why
Tex Richard chose Heeney as the
one opponent from the present crop
of heavyweight contenders who
could give me the most strenuous
engagement of my career.
Unquestionably, Heeney showed
himself in those pictures to be the
absolute master of both Delaney and
Sharkey, and there was no doubt in
my mind, when the showing was
over, that Tom would keep me busy
on the night of July &c. He is a
man shall be proud to face, a
worthy opponent capable OF extend
ing any man to the limit.
The pictures showed me that
Heeney is both game and courage
Gus, and is a man OF tremendous
strength. At no time were either of
his opponents able to bull him or
to force him into a style of milling
that would react to their advantage.
The Washington times., 1928-07-02

He showed me that he has inn
nlense vitality and punch of
such power that when it lands
1t is capable Of shaking up any
man In the ring today. Heeney
Is far better boxer than he is
given credit for being a cagy
opponent, and an astute ring
general.

Automatic Pilot Tested

The automatic air pilot, a device
for automatic steering, has been
approved by three trans-Atlan-
tic Clarence Chamberlain,
Herman Koehl and Major Fitz-
maurice. The device wa fitted to
aJunkers plane and was flown to
given height by Captain Koehl, who
then turned all the controls, except
the rudder, over to the automatic
pilot.
1t was found that the device
counteracted any tendency to gain
or lose height and when the rudder
bar was pressed the mechanical pilot
automatically banked the plane to
make a perfect turn.
Tests are going on to extend
the scope of the automatic pilot to
the rudder, and it is hoped that
eventually an airman will be able
to leave all his controls assured
that the pane will keep on a straight
course and maintain its height, and
give his attention to the details of
navigation, weather reports, etc.

Landing Device Finished

The model of a new airplane
landing and launching device has
been perfected and tested in wind
tunnels by R. James Gibbons,
Brooklyn construction expert and
member of the advisory board of
the Guggenheim School of Aero
nautics, New York university. AS
sisted by a staff of engineers, Glib
bons worked nine years to complete
his device. The expenditure for
equipment and research was approx
imately 100000.
The resultant mechanism, the in
ventor asserts, can be used on roof
tops in congested cities, on battle
ships and merchantmen, on marine
sheds, postoffices, warehouses, rail-
road stations and in wooded or
mountainous country where plane
landings have hitherto been perilous
and take-offS impossible.

LANDING BLIND
AviatorS May Come Down
Without Seeing Field,
Inventor Says.
BIZ Science Seruice

DU DCttILCG DGTUtCG
SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Nov. 21.-.
AirplaneS soon may be able to land
safely in fog without the pilot
seeing the landing field at all. This
is one of the possibilities of new
radio altitude meter for airplanes
developed by DR.. E. F. w. Alexan-
derSon of the General Electric Com
pany, and described by him to the
National Academy of Sciences here
today.
The radio altitude gauge does the
same thing for an airplane that the
sonic depth finder does for a ship,
he announced. With the aid of the
latter, the captain can made a cen
slant record of the depth of the
water beneath him. He only can
not avoid shallow water, but he can
actually plot the contour of the
ocean bottom and identify it with
the contours on his charts.
1t operates by sending a sound
wave from an oscillator on the bot
tom of the ship. The wave travels
to the bottom, is reflected upward,
and the difference between the time
the sound is made and the time the
echo returns permits exact meas
urement of the depth.
Differ From Sound Waves
Radio waves may be made to do
the same thing for the airplane that
the sound waves do for the ship,
said DR.. Mathematician, but sincs
they travel at the speed of light and
far faster than the sound waves
through water, their use requires
quite a different technique.
The waves are sent out from a
transmitter on the plane, part travel
downward to the ground, there they
are reflected, and witt the proper
receiver they may be picked up
again in the airplane The time is
too short to notice the difference,
however, and indirect methods must
be used.
The method consists in determin-
ing whether the returning wave is
in step with the transmitted wave
or not. If the height of the air
plane is an exact number of wave
lengths above the ground, the two
waves are in step. If the plane then
goes higher or lower, or if the
ground level itself becomes higher
or lower, the two waves will be out
of step
Come Into Step Again
If the height above the ground
changes more than a whole wave
length, the waves come into step
again for a moment. If the air
plane is equipped with apparatus
for measuring the relation of the
two waves, and the number Of
times they change, then the height
of the plane above the ground can
be measured.
In DR.. Alexanderson's device this
is measured by the effect of the
returning wave on the actual trans
mitter. This effect is to change the
wavelength of the transmitted wave,
and so it affects the strength of the

FARM TARIFFS

HOOVER RETURN
Coolidge PoStponeS In
crease on South American
Products.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Presi-
dent CSoolidge has informed an in
terested party nothing will be done
about increasing farm tariffs on
South American products before
President-elect Hoover returns from
his South American good will tour.
The Presidents statement had
particular reference to the corn
schedule upon which the tariff COM
mission has recently made an I'M
published report to Mr.. Coolidge.
The statement aroused consider
able interest among returning con-
gressmen, because Of the promin-
ence Hoover gave the increased
tariff proposals in his presidential
campaign and the correlated fact
that he is now embarked southwark
on a mission which will enable him
to learn, among other things, just
hat the situation about the tariff is
below the Panama canal.
Opposition of South American
countries, chiefly Argentine to the
American levieS against corn, hides
and other products has been ex-
pressed, in the press and otherwise
for two years or more. Threats have
been made that a - ;ott might be
instituted against manufactured
product from the United States if
this country continued efforts to ex-
clude South American raw ma
terials.
In the campaign, Hoover stressed
the idea that the tariff must De
made effective for the American
farmer.
Many of Hoovers friends in con-
greSs, led by Senator Borah, his
foremost campaigner, are working
for an extra session to enact higher
