COUNTS ON ENDURANCE
Thinks American Does Not
Train Sufficiently.
BY JACK McAULIFFE
Retired indicated Lightweight Champion
lCnnNl.inht 1G28 hu IInited Erassl

Copyright 1923, by United Press
NEW YORK, July IS. - Tom
Heeney will defeat Gene Tunney for
the heavyweight championship
when they meet at Yankee Stadium,
July 26.
Heeney has more endurance than
Tunney and will wear him down and
win the decision at the end of fifteen
rounds. I don't think Heeney has
the punch to knock out Tunney, bit
he is apt to maui the champion up
pretty badly before the final bell.
On cold dope, Tunney should win
because he has everything in a box
ing line. Tunney's lead ano coun-
ter is one of the best I've seen
among present day boxers. Tunney
could put up a whale of fight if he
would cut loose. He showed a flash
of fighting heart in the Dempsey
fight at Chicago after he was
knocked down in the seventh round.
Too Much Philosophy
But Tunney doesn't seem to be. in
terested in boxing. He's been read
ing too much philosophy. Shakes
peare and Shaw are all right, but
they never helped a fighter beat an
opponent.
I do not look for Tunney to be in
as good shape for this bout as he
was at Philadelphia or Chicago. 1t
is impossible for a boxer to keep in
condition by fighting two bouts
60 rounds) in two years.
The last five rounds of the forth
coming bout will tell more on Tun-
ney than they will on a regular
fellow like Heeney, who is used to
going 20 rounds.
May Have Lost Skill
Once proficient in boxing does not
mean that you will always be prof.
cient. know of no profession that
requires more practice and work
than the game Of boxing. The art
of boxing is hard to attain and easy
to lose Who knows but that Tun-
ney out of the ring for almost a
year has not lost part of his wonder
full boxing skill?

quency operates the loud speaker unit
of the clariphone. This unit Is In
small air chamber, where 1t converts the
electrical energy into sound waves.
These waves are conducted through
system of air chambers and tubes. each
section of which helps filter out the in
terfering noises. The signal Is finally
picked up by microphone which con-
verts the sound waves back into elec-
trical energy. The signal heard in a
pair of ordinary head phones is free
of static, which has been cleared out, or
at least reduced. in the filtering process.
The installation is adjusted to pass
at one of about 1000 cycles, rejecting
all others. That Is the tone of the code
signal. Now when 1t comes to music
and speech, the tone range must be
much wider. Every frequency of the
pipe organ and piano will have to be
filtered Therein lies SCOTS next prob
lem, but he believes he has solved it

Even now. though 1t has never been
tried out on short waves and the me-
dium waves used for broadcasting, the
inventor maintains that the clariphone
can be adjusted TO any frequency He
also thinks that 1t will be invaluable as

extraneous noises from phonograph

the set does not have a detector jack

The television tube is connected to

DEVICE MAY SOLVE
PROBLEM OF STATIC
CIariphone, Now Used by
Navy, Filters Out Un-
wanted Noises.
BY MARTIN CODEL..

Radio officials of the United States
Navy and the Shipping Board profess
TO be very much impressed with the
performance of c-reducing device
known as the clariphone, the invention
of William j. Scott, retired chief elec-
trician's mate, u, S. N.
They testify that experiments with
the clariphone on long wave code cir
cults have shown that it suppresses the
frying and the cracking that is the
bane of all radio. Built on electro
acousticAl principles, 1t clarifies radio
signals that otherwise could not be
heard on account of preponderance
of static strength in the mysterious
ether.
Only One Made.
The only existing model Of the inven-
ton was installed early last May In
the radio central of the Navy Depart
ment at Washington. Radio men there
have attached 1t to the San Francisco,
Balboa and other low frequency cir
cults employed by naval conlmunica-
tions, which is the nerve center of the
overland and fleet radio system. Almost
invariably they have reported success
in its operation, though recently they
have had occasion TO use 1t only in
l1GQuCIlt1 0hC " stlA QBllctldl dVSttlCG
of static disturbance.
Spurred on by the encouragement
given him in the Office of naval com
munications and elsewhere. the inven-
tor has now begun to build clari-
phone with range that will embrace
all the tones and frequencies of broad
casting. lie believes that he has found
and demonstrated the basic principle
that will lead to the entire elimination
of static from broadcast as we'll as code
reception.
AS described in an official naval COM
munication's report, the clariphonc
operates as a sound filter. In a sound
proof box are a loud speaker unit, sew
erai sections of small brass tubing and
a microphone. The tubes are so ar
ranged and of such dimensions that
they will permit the passage of sound
waves or tones of particular fire.
