VESSELS P. Sports Writer) NEW YORK, July 25.—This jamming of the curious public to see Gene Tunney during the clos. ing days of his training for Tom Heeney appeals to the champion’s sense of humor. By (A Up at his elaborate mountain camp at Speculator, N. Y., Tunney starts his daily workouts to the inevitable shouts of, “Down in front—S8it down, I can't see.” Gene laughed so heartily at such an outburst the other day that he lost his beat punching the bag and had to start it all over again. This reaction is accepted as a good sign of the title-holder’'s frame of mind and also upsets re- ports that the 195-pound Green- wich Village strong boy lacks ap preciation of the human side of publié training. But the big, muscular six-foot- er who has made culture and the classics synonymous with the heavyweight crown as he wears. it, is spared the raucous yells that frequently penetrate the ozon: around Tom Heeney's camp at Fairhaven, N. J. Most of Gene's audiences are families of summer resorters and of farmers and villagers in the surrounding mountain country. Heeney draws most of his crowds ifrom the not distant sophisticated and outspoken hordes of the me- tropolis. The majority of the spectators at Speculater are too awed {0 crit- icise publicly. Just the reverse i: true at Fairhaven. The crowd is just one of the things that contrast so sharply in connection with the pre-tituiar ac- ~ tivities. There are other’ fac- tors as different as the champion and challenger themselves. Training methods, for example, are alike in but a few minor de- tails. Yet thay are no more dif- ferent than could he expecled of these susrounding training of Tun- aey, the graceful bozer, and Hee- ney, the plodding slugger.
