Paul Hopkins fizzled out ike a
diving firecracker in puddle IN
that final game with the Brooklyn
Robins. Handed three-run lead
in the sixth inning, he was yanked
out of there after the National
Leaguers had scored eight runs on
four bits and six passes. 1t was
sad shock to Bucky Harris, too,
for he had been boosting the young
colIegian only the night before.
Hopkins could get his curve ball

passes filled the bases in the sixth;

day in Spectator where Gene Tun-
ney is training to defend its heavy
weight title against Tom Heeney, the
rugged New Zealander on July &c at

The days rest, Tunney's handlers
believe, will keep the champion, who
now weighs 196 1-2, almost his fight
ing weight, from reaching the peak Of
condition too early. The day of idle
ness it was explained, would put
about five pounds on him, a margin
he will find useful during the 10 days
which are yet to come before he de-
tends his crown.
