TUNNEY, HEENEY FINISH TRAINING Speculator, N. Y., July 24. —(U.R) , Gene Tunney reached the emf of his training today, confident of his abil- j ity to defend the heavyweight title against Tom Heeney. Tunney donned the gloves for the last time today before he faces Heeney. He will rest Wednesday and will fly to New York Thursday morning. Tunney will attempt to knock out ; the rugged challenger. Tunney was the first champion to win the heavyweight title by a decision, but he wants to defend It with mailed fists. Tunney gave a glimpse of his newly acquired offensive Sunday when he almost knocked out Harold Mays,! Bayonne, N. J. heavyweight. Tunney is sure of three things as I he makes ready to defend his title: | 1. That he is in the best condition of his career. 2. That he is punching harder than ever before. 3. That he will knock out Heeney if he lands one solid punch. Everyone connected with Tunney's camp from Billy Gibson, the champion's manager, down to Charley Rosen, the champion’s jester, believes Gene will win by a knockout. When j he will win, however, no two are agreed. “Worst Is Over," Says Tom Fair Haven. N. J„ July 24. —(U.R) — I Tom Heeney finished his final day of < strenuous training with little change I in his rollicking and easy-going dispo- ' c,it ion. 1 “They got blamed monotonous, these final days of training.” Tom said. "It's much tougher than the f fighting itself, but the worst is over.’’ * Today Heeney will have only a ; light workout. Fifteen minutes in s the gymnasium, rope-skipping and work with the light bag following a short walk in the morning, is the pro- ‘ gram outlined by Jimmy Hennessey, trailer. And then on Wednesday, • \ absolutely nothing except perhaps a ( cruise on a yacht of a millionaire , friend. Heeney said he had no set plan for , knocking 'Tunnoy off the heavyweight "I have some ideas, of course," , Heeney said, "but they probably L won't carry me far. Tunney is not t going to hit me very often with the < same punch. Anybody can hit me witli any kind of a punch, but keeping it up is a, different question”. I Heeney has taken his work serious- SI , ly. On three occasions lie has boxed g at night to get accustomed to glaring i • lights. , o- — Watching The Scorehoard i -Tu.rF- I ’ Yesterday’s hero: Fred Fussell, Pir- ( ate pitcher, who bested Doug Me- , Weeny in a pitchers' duel by giving | the Brooklyn Robins only six hits.

He explains that he had the fighting spirit knocked out of him when he was young. Ent.ring the ting at a boy's<boxing display here, the Prince congratulated the youngsters on their prowess. "I am glad.” he said, "you did not ask me to have a few rounds. I should have got beaten. I tried boxing many years ago, but I was beaten several times, and I got a bit discouraged. ■ "I think It must have been that I started fighting too early.”

TALKING MOVIES DEMAND ‘VOICES' FOB FILM STABS By Arthur L. Marek (I. N. S. Special Correspondent I Hollywood. Calif —A certain street in 1 New York City is moving enmasse to Hollywood. On this street in Gotham are the offices of the "Throat Ginks" as the Illiterate of Times Square dub them. These "throat ginks" are voice culturlsts. surgeons operating on accents . and amputating brogues for stage and i opera stars. For years they have catered to the . greatest artists of spoken drama. But now a new eldorado lias opened up and they are carrying their gladstones down Hollywood boulevard, a- , long La Brea up Washington — in fact along the streets of Hollywood. For filmdom has gone "talkie'' and that “certain little street" in New York is almost deserted. Samuel Goldwyn has led his fellowproducers by inserting a “voice" quality clause in his new contracts. If the applicant's voice is bad—no contract*! Goldwyn is the first United Artists producer to sign for sound devices on
