here's the why of It:

"On days when the ball is com-

NEW YORK, July 14 - Tom Hea-
ney will defeat Grne Tunney for
the heavyweight championship
when they meet at Yankeq Stadium
July 26
Heeney has more enduranoe than
Tunney and will wear him doan
and win the decision at the end of
15 rounds. I don’t think Heeney
has the punch to knock out Tunney.
but he is apt to Maul the champion
up pretty badly before the final
bell.
On the cold dope Tunney should
win because he has everything tn a
boxing line _______ ________
counter is one of the bes. I’ve seen
among present day boxers. Tunney
could put up a whale of a fight If
he would cut loose He showed a
flash of fighting hear in the Demp-
sey fight at Chicago after he was
knocked down in the seventh round.
But Tunney doesn't seem to be
interested in boxing He's been read
ing too much philosophy Shakes*
peare and Shaw are all right, but
they never helped a fighter beat en
opponent.
I do not look for Tunney to be
in ar good shape for this bout as he
was at Philadelphia or Chicago ID
