HEENEY TRAINS IN HIS OWN WAY Editors Note: Artie McGorvern. famous physical culturlst and trainer of Babe Ruth, Johnny Farrell and Gene Sarazen, describes in the following article the train, ing methods of Tom Heeney, now preparing for his coming heavyweight championship fight with Gene Tunney for the world's title, and contrasts them with the methods of the champion, which he recently pictured through International News Service. By Artie Mi Govern, Written expressely. for INS Copyright 1928 by INS Fair Haven, N. J., July 20.—1 f Tom j Heeney defeats Gene Tunney in the contest for the heavyweight champ | ionship next Thursday, dietetic ex- I peitt will have to take a back seat! Heeney "sets up his rest and makes his feast, with a crust of btowi. bread and a pot of good ale.” I asked Heeney if he followed anyset of rules In regard to diet while in training. He told me that the only rules he follows are common sense ideas. Heeney says that he does not believe in eating foods that he does not like, regardless of the fact that they may be more beneficial to his system. Heeney’s methods of training and dieting are his own. He .claims that from his long experience in training for athletics during the past 15 years, he knows what best agrees with him. The challenger has only two meals a day and at the training table he is comparatively a light eater. His training day begins at 6 o’clock each morning. This early rising is contrary to American methods of training. Road work for Heeney is as much I play as work. He seems to enjoy pranks at the expense of his trainers i and the hour he spends on the road is given over to running, jumping, pushing his partners around and having a general good time? He returns to the camp in a good ! perspiration and rests for a half hour until his body becomes cool, before taking his shower. After a thirty minute massage he dresses and is ready for his breakfast at 10:30. At two o’clock he sleeps for an hour before his afternoon session which begins at 3:30 and includes two hours of shadow boxing, two rounds of bag punching and four rounds of boxing with his two sparring partners. Dinner, Heeney’s second meal of the day. is served at 5:30, after which he plays cards or checkers or amuses the reporters by singing some of the old English songs. At 9 o’clock Heeney returns to the cottage for his 'alf and 'alf, the English vernacular for beer and ale, which the challenger claims is both a medicine and tonic. It makes him sleep "like a top”, keeps his weight up and has good food value. o ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■Hi■■■ I Golf Tennis ■ Baseball Swimming We've been looking for a good fish story to pass along.
