July 13 (A— Dangerously near hting weight, Gene Tunney, who will risk his world's heavyweight title against Tom Heeney, the powerful New Zea- land blacksmith, just a week hence was given a holday today The champion was down to pounds, almost the weight he will| carry when he enters the ring| against Heeney, and from now on his days of &trenuous preparation are few He probably will work hard tomorrow and against next Monday. During the next 24 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 to visit James J Corbett. former heavyweight cham- pion, at Wappingers Falls, N.

Winston and Bob were slightly injured Despite the accident Tunney in- sisted that he would carry out his plans to Ay 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 ves- | terday was Jim Corbett. The for- mer champion made an all night motor trip up from New York to watch Tunney work out and at the end of the traininz. he predicted that Tunney would be victorious in his bout with Heeney if he was able to conquer fatigue. During vesterday's workout Tun- ney displaved more aggressiveness than he has demonstrated in this campaign, but he disappointed the experts several times when his spar- ring partners Harold Mays and Bil- 1y Vidabeck crowded him to the ropes, and connected with heavy hooks to the jaw. Tunney's handlers, however. did not regard the pugilis- tic minsteps as fmportant. They ex- plained that Gene was engaged in perfecting some part of his fistic art and was not averse to being hit while he worked out his ring prob- lems. 190 ‘rhnadpxpma' | organization Games Today Chicago at New York.
