HEENEY NEARLY
 READY FOR FIGHT
Tapering Of Process for Chal, lenSer to Start Today

Fairhaven, N. J.. July le fP-The tapering of part of Tom Heeney's training began today. A new pro gram was mapped out covering the work now on until his departure for New York to battle Gene Tunney for the worlds heavy~ eight champion ship a week from tonight.
 Heeney was to increase his boxing to six rounds today and perhaps step another six tomorrow, provided the weather gets bit cooler. If it re- mains sizzling hot, he will cut his boxing to four rounds tomorrow. He also is scheduled to box four rounds Saturday, Sunday and Monday. After his workout Monday the gloves will be laid aside.
 i From Tuesday on the challenger will cut out all work except his Jogs on the road and just enough gymna- sium exercise to keep him loosened up. He plans to remain here until late Wednesday afternoon. going to New York that night
 AS far as condition goes. both mental and physical. the New Zea land challenger looks perfect. He is the picture of an athlete in shape The precipitation drips off him. but he hardly draws long breath when he finishes his workout. He seems to have the energy of a dynamo.
 All this pleases Jimmy Hennessey his trainer. Hennessey. cornered today at the Rumson farm camp said he had "hunch" that Heene, vii defeat Tunney. perhaps knocl him out.
 Hes q better fighter than th, public believes" Hennessey said He has shown plenty of boxing brains down here and improve. every day. Why, do you know tha he has been the short ender in thu betting in all of his fights yet h. won them.
 T never saw a boxer so quick tt solve an opponents style. If Tunne, hits him with the left. it will be il the first two or three rounds. Ate that, Heeney will be all wised up t, MT. Tunney. Heeney is no sucke at getting away from punches. H isn't hit as nearly as often as vol think. And he is a tough punche to face for IS rounds.
 He has been trained to keep ol top of his man, and goes right bacl at them after the clinches. Tunne will not be able to step into Heene often, as he will be busy keepin away from Heeney's charges Working out in his outdoor rint in face of stifling heat, the challen ger gave one of the most impressiv performances of his training sieg yesterday. He stepped four spirite , rounds with James J. Braddock an James J. Lawless. with the critic
 who have watched him in the train ing period unanimous in their opir ion that the hard rock never locke

TUNNEY ID TAKE
 HOLIDAY TODAY
Champion Is Dangerously Near
 His Fighting Weight

speculator, N. T.. July 19 F,- Dangerously near fighting weight, Gene Tunney. who will risk his worlds heavyweight title against Tom Heeney, the powerful New Zea- land blacksmith, just week hence was given a holiday today.
 The champion was down to 19o pounds, almost the weight he will carry when he enters the ring against Heeney. and from now on his days of strenuous preparation are few He probably will work hard tomorrow and against next Monday.
 During the next A hours Tunney will decide whether he will fly to New York with Commander Richard Byrd on the day of the fight or travel by motor If he chooses a motor he will stop 10 visit James J. Corbett. former heavyweight cham pion. at Wappingers Falls, N. Y.
 Tunney was given vivid picture of air travel yesterday when a party Of friends met with a mishap while returning to New York after mak- ing a flight here to watch him work out
 The plane. which had Bill Winston ( Curtiss field pilot at the controls. and Bernard J. Gimbel, New York merchant; Charles " Bob. one of Commander Byrd's financial back CTS: James I. Bush. president of the Madison Square Garden club and Samuel Pryor. of Greenwich. Conn, Tunney's close friend. as passengers Hamilton County Country club when 1t crashed into tree. Winston and Bob were slightly injured.
 Despite the accident Tunney in- sisted that he would carry out his plans to Ny to New York on the day of the fight. He knew, however that this plan would be strenuously opposed by Tex Rickard. promoter.
 Another of Tunney's visitors yes terday was Jim Corbett. The for mer champion made an all night motor trip up from New York te watch Tunney work out and at the end of the training. he predicted that Tunney would be victorious ir his bout with Heeney if he was able 10 conquer fatigue.
 During yesterdays workout Tun ney displayed more aggressiveness than he has demonstrated in thi. campaign. but he disappointed the experts several times when his spar ring partners Harold Mays and Bill 1y Vidabeck crowded him to the ropes. and connected with heav, hooks to the jaw. Tunney's handlers however did not regard the rugilis tic missteps as important. They ex plained that Gene was engaged il perfecting some part of his fistic ar and was not averse 10 being hi while he worked out his ring prob lems.

better. There was no attempt to tlashy boxing and little attempt at defense. Heeney went into action with the idea of forcing the fighting and he never let up. Lawless was groggy at the end of the end of the two rounds he faced the challenger and 1t seems as if Heeney could have stopped him if he had desired.
 Jack Dempsey will be in camp Sunday. along with James J. Corbett and Johnny Risko. the Clevela nd rubber man, to watch the challenger go through his paces. Dempsey Will be the guest of Promoter Tex Rickard

The postmaster desires to bring to at
tention that an unusual number of unpaid
letters are being. deposited in the post
office addressed to Various parts of the
United States H1as. well as.the Virgin Is.
lands and Porto Rico. This may be. due
in part to.imperfect ofixing of the stamp
before mailing, and in some cases it is
believed there is an attempt to evade pre-
payment OF postage. As no totally unpaid
letters can be forwarded the maitets in
question are simply delaying their letters
which are either held for return to writer
if known or for postage to he paid by. the
addressee. In view Of the holiday sea
son when mailinRs will be heavier the
public is asked to exercise care in pre-
paying all. mail fully to preclude delay
and Inconvenience to all concerned.
Sometime between s and 9 o'clock last
night, it was reported that LIANT ert
Richardson. a>neWspaper boy, connected
with the st. CroiX Tribune, was struck
down by a marine on the wharf, From
what we have gathered from one of the
boys who was present and related what
happened, it appears that a few marines
were singing to.the accompaniment of a
guitar, played by a civilian, nicknamed
Susie and Mike, when Lambert and
some other boys gathered around to lis,
ten to the music, and was told by one of
the marines that they did not want any
one around" Lambert made some reply,
that they were rot doing anything
only listening, and soon afterwards he
received a blow over the right eye, which
knocked him unconscious, and had to be
assisted to his feet by a man. who said
afterwards that he was the person who
took him up off the ground where be fell
after receiving the blow. Even after re-
