HEENEY PICKED BY MC AULIFFE By Jack .McAuliffe, Retired Undefeated I,‘Khtwelght champion Copyright 1928 by VP New York, July 13. (U.R) Tom Heeney will defeat Gene Tunney for the heavyweight championship when they meet at Yankee stadium July 28. Heeney has more endurance than Tunney and will wear him down and win the decision at the end of 15 rounds. I don’t think Heeney has the punch to knock out Tunney, hut he is apt to maul the chumpion up pretty badly before the final bell. On the cold dope. Tunney should win because he has everything in a boxing line. Tunney’* lead and counter Is one of the best 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 heart in the Dempsey fight at Chicago after he was knocked down In the seventh round. But Tunney doesn't seem to be in- . terested in boxing. He's been reading too much philosophy. Shakespeare and Shaw are all right, but they never helped a fighter beat an oppon- j ent. I do not look for Tunney to be in j as good shape for this bout as he was at Philadelphia or Chicago. It is Impossible for a boxer to keep in con dition by fighting 2 bouts (20 rounds» in two years. —— — o * ************ * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * ************* -(U.R) Babe Ruth, failed to get a hit in four limes up.

Golf Tennis Sport Fever Baseball Swimming For some time, ye scribe has had a ' hank-ring to conduct a column this summer and. recently, several requests ! f r one have been received. Hence SPORT FEVER. — We’ve been hearing a lot about Rose I fever, ‘Hay fever, Typhoid fever and i just plain fever lately. Most people !a.e afflicted with Sport Fever all i summer long, so we Intend to talk a- ■ bout Sport Fever. Summer sp rts are far different ' from fall and winter spoils, in that noi one sport completely predominates over the other. In tire fall, football hogs the headlines and during the cold winter months, basketball is all the rage. But when the sun shines hot. we Americans are pr ne to divide our time and interest among varied sports - and athletic events. Baseball, golf, ten-, uis, swimming, boxing, fishing, racing! and other activities occupy our time. Therefore, SPORT FEVER will be! turned over to the followers of each of these sports and the frequent appearance and interest i f the column will depend largely on the contributions and material given to ye editor by the readers. Golf probably holds the largest arnount of interest in Decatur at present, although swimming, tennis and baseball have many followers ami par-1 ticipants.

SHAKESPEARIANS TOHLEPTUNNEY By Harry Ferguson. • UP Staff Correspondent New York. July IS—(U.R) The Nat ionol Shakespeare Foundation ha* de ' elded Gene Tunney need* someone to help him fight hi* battles. Miss Margaret Eyre Rothwell, a member of the foundation, walked hilskly Into Tex Rickard's offlci at Madison Square Garden. "I want to see Mr. Eugene Tunney. the boxer," »he said, ■'Tunney Is at Speculator, N. Y." said one of Rickard’s assistants. •‘Will he be back soon?” "Not before July 25. He's going to I fight Heeney on the 26th. you know." "Oh. he is?- Isn’t that thrilling? By j the way, who is Mr. Heeney?" “It's Tom Heeney, the Australia!' heavyweight.’’ said Rickards aide." "Oh, yes, I have heard of him,’’ said Miss Rothwell. But that is not what I wanted to see Mt. Tunney about. The National Shakespeare Federation feels that people do not appreciate the intellectual side of Mr. Tunney. it is unfair to ridicule him just be- ! ' cause he reads Shakespeare. Our organization intends to protect him from such attacks. "We would like to build hint into a model, like the old Roman RTTlghts; we want to make him a romantic l»oxer. But I suppose 1 hail better wait until after he meets this Mr. Heeney

July 15.-While the St. Louis Cardinals have Increased their lead over the New York Giants to s\i games, the world's champion Yankees are no longer setting the dizzy pate which they maintained for almost half tlie season. The Yanks haven't been playing better than .550 hail for the past month and apparent-■ ly will not be able to equal the rec ord of 116 vlctoiles established by the i old Chicago Cubs. 1 Pipgras han been knocked out in his last two starts, Pennock is just pulling out of a slump and the other .New York pitchers are no mystery to tival batsmen these days. Fortunately for Miller Huggins, the Athletics aren’t burning up the league either and are stPl 10‘s games behiud. The tail-end Tigers, gave young Henry Johnson the works in the ninth inning yesterday, scoring three runs ami winning 4 to 2. They have trimmed the Yanks twice in their last three starts against them. , i — ■■■ , ii ■■■ ——m
