J., July 25.—(7)—A man without temperament—that is Tom Heeney, the rock ribbed, bar- teled chested New Zealander who to- morrow night battles Gene Tunney for the world’s heavyweight cham- pionship. “Blime me, if I can get what you Americans call a kick out of it,” Heeney says, “I guess I haven’t got any of that temperament stuff in me. Meeting Tunney of course is a big chance for me—it may mean my financial lp 2 dae but I cannot get excited about it. It is just a sporting proposition, if I can’t win I want to be a good loser.” Heeney might just as well be a horse shoer or the plumber that he used to be instead or the challenger for tho world’s heavyweight title as far as outside appearances go. He is as common as an old shoe with no tempt at high hattedness, no de- sire to be out of the ordinary, he walks around the camp in a rumple pair of old blue trousers, a pair of comfortable oxfords rundown at the heel, coatless and hatless and with a shirt open at the neck. One cannot help liking him.

Though Tunney has fought but once since 1926, when he wrested his title from Jack Dempsey, to Heeney's 14 bouts in the same space of time, he will enter the ring the better boxer of the two. He has probably gained a fistic science during his long l..yoff, for hc has always been a close student of his Tunney claims he hi stronger, that he is punching harder, and he has confidently predicted that. he will defeat Hecney, probably by_a knockout. | During his training siege, during which he has never appeared outside of the ring in anything but a sweat- er, shabby linen trousers and an old air of shoes, scarcely noble raiment. or the ruler of Fistiana, Tunney has been developing a powerfu! right hand body ebetl a blow which Heeney has always had great trouble finding. 4 He completed his rin» practice id rectly with flashes of true Irish wit.

Admissison 25¢ ager’s Claim GIBSON HELPED TOO Charley Harvey Felt that Heeney Had Makings of World’s Champion BY HENRY L. FARRELL (NEA Service Sports Writer) _ New York, July 25.—Tom Heeney didn’t get his chance to fight Gene Tunney for the world’s heavyweight championship through any influence of the champion, through any special kindness on the part of Tex. Rick- ard or by any concessions of any kind, Charley Harvey, the veteran manager of the challenger insists. “Tt is all wrong to say that Tun- ney picked Heeney as the easiest man of all the challengers and it is wrong to say that Rickard signed him because he was cheap,” Harvey said. “Nobody gave me any help in getting the match, although I felt at all times that if his word would d y good Bill Gibson would say it for me and not for my man. “I got the match for Heeney be- cause I took the time and spent the money to go to Florida to, talk di- rectly to Rickard. And I had to talk to him for two days and two nights and he was won over by an argu- ment with back spin on it. Ducked Out to See Rickard “When I first got Heeney I felt down in my heart that he had the makings not only of a lenger but of a champion, but I had a hard time to get him going for reasons that do not have to told. He told me that he would take any matches I made for him and our rec- nal we didn’t look for es, “Rickard went to Florida and when he left there were four men in line for the shot. eee were Heeney, i elaney. Heeney and we figured that we were first in line. John Chapman was acting for Rickard at the Garden and he asked me to come and talk it over with Jess McMahon, the matchmaker at the Garden. “They told me that a new deal would have to be made’ and that some more elimination matches would be arranged and the survivor would get shot with Tunney. I kicked on that and said Heeney had already done enough to prove his right for the match, but I finally agreed that I would go irfto it, knowing that Tom would come through again. Wanted Risko “They asked me which one I want- ed and I said Risko. They said that I _couldn’t have Risko because Sharkey wanted him. I got sore then and asked them where Sharkey came in to have first say abcut any- thing. We talked for some time and T was about ready to walk out when they tried to force me a li.tle. ‘They said that I would have to talk terms and sign right © or I would be out of it. They said that Danny Dunn was coming in from Cleveland and that he would be signed for Risko if I didn’t want their terms. I then told them that I wouldn’t talk business with them and that I would talk directly to Rick- They said they would have Rickard on the phone that night and told me to be there. I didn't tell them that I would talk to Rickard on the phone and I didn’t show up. “I ducked out and got a ticket for Miami. No one knew I had gone.and Chapman and McMahon looked all’ over town for me for two days. The newspaper boys thought that I was @ great manager to be hiding out at such a time as Risko was about to get the match instead of Heeney. But ‘Sasaa that Risko wouldn’t. be signed. * rgued Two Days and Two Nights “T had a tougl. time talking busi- ness to Rickard. He didn’t have his mind made up and he couldn’t decide. T argue. for two days about what Heeney had done but he was cool on him for some reason. There was no talk about terms. Rickard was con- sidering only what the public would think of a match with any of the challengers. “Finally I switched around and told him that none of the challengers were sensational fighters and that he didn’t have to worry about the show being a financial success with any challenger in there. I told him hat the heavyweight championship fight was an innual institution now like the world’s series and the Yale: Harvard football game and that the crowd would go regardless of th Promise of a sensational fight. “Then I slipped in the argum that all things being even Heeney might help along by having the in-. ternational color, that he was a very persia fellow and didn’t have any ind of record t mark on his and T finally got the match. “T think I got the match by goin; and talking to the ‘ol lf. ited Considering this tale by Harvey, which checks with the stories told by others, it would seem that Har- vey’s patience and industry and his too, and not the work-.
