HEENEY CLAIMS HE WAS FOULED Ry Davis’J. Walsh New York. August 11 Charging that ho was "fouled miserably" by Gettf Tunney when lie sustained the famous injury to his eye In the eighth nund. Tom Heeney boldly attacks <he sportsmanship of the victorious and now retired champion in an interview appearing in the London Daily Express., a copy of which reached the wi iter today. The story is headed, “Was Heeney Fettled?" and then goes on to give a more or less affirmative answer to its own question. The Interviewer, himself a ringside observer, hints rather strongly that he believes, a foul was committed anti quotes to kindled effect several authorities. including Edtlie Kane, man•agerof the lightweight champion. Sammy Mandell. Kane, he said, "expressed indignation at the treatment’ 1 Heenev had been accorded. The challenger, when approached, at first declined to put himself on record, according to the Express' account, but later is quoted as having said: “Can t you tell the Daily Express readers what you have heard from others about It? 1 refuse to make excuses but I would like to state to you. personally, that I was fooled miserably. What of it? I’m still young and I hope! I’m a good sportsman. “My eye was cut by some kind of a punch that was not natural, the upper eyelashes went down behind my lower lid and every time I blinded my bad eye caused tears to flow from both eyes. "My nose started bleeding after mv eye was out of action. I was almost , hopelessly handicapped but I thought ' 1 could have gone on beyond the eleventh round because I had recovered so quickly. InsofaY as the writer's observations were concerned, Heeney may be t ight about his last contention. But every indication is that he is all wrong if | he really thinks Gene Tunney had the slightest intention of damaging his eye except by a legitimate punch. Os course. 1 neither swung the punch nor felt Its effect; so. technically, I suppose I can't pretend to be an authority on its intent. Optically, however. I gained my cWn impression which briefly were these: Tunney using a shift, led with a right, as he so often did during the fight. It wasn't much of a punch being neither swing nor straight right. It was more of a poke than anything else. Heeney immediately broke ground to clutch his damaged eye and never was the same thereafter. It hapitens to be ! my opinion that, except for this incident. the fight would have gone the limit of fifteen founds but that is unimportant now and probably never was : anything else, so much for optical evi- j dence.

Archie Compston. long-legged Welsh-1 man and one of the finest golfers in I any land, is looking around for a post ; as professional with an American goli j club and probably will succeed in landing it. What with renumeration for "pros" so much higher in this countrj then on the other side of the Atlantic it l.t > surprising that so few Britons forsake their home links. Not only does the American "pro" receive more money but he is subtly higher in the social scheme of things; that is to I say he is less an employe than his English contemporary. Archie Compston is one of the most colorful of Britishers and if he remains on these shores he will be a popular golfer. For one thing he and i .lime Barnes are the last survivors of the "no-knickers” club and he will ' be the idol of that section of golf-j dom which believes that legs were i meant to be encased in trousers. Birdies. Archie believes, can be had • without benefit of loud plaids and I louder checks And his golf upholds the soundn ’j of this theory. Those of us win ,( not have the limbs of English stag cutlers can but applaud Archie fir ais determined stand against breeks. Typically British The kind of golf played by Archie is typically British just at Walter Hagen's is typically American. Their styles contrast as markedly as those of any two golfers you could name. At the Westchester Biltmore recently when Compston went down to defeat before Hagen it was a triumph of the high projectory pitch to the pin over the pitch and run approach. Compston hits the ball on the down stroke as though he were trying to bury it into the turf. He plays more for the grgeen than the pin—a habit resulting from the fact that British greens are so much larger than those

Maine, August 11 — (INS; - Weakening under the dage of publicity’s pitiless spotlight. Gene Tunney. in a formal statement to Editors, asks that reporters and news photographers laying siege to the island summer home of his fiancee here be recalled. The retired heavyweight champion waxed indignant at what he termed the "snooping of the representatives of the press who have surrounded the Island since the announcement of his, engagement to “Polly’’ Lauder. $50,-1 000,000 heiress. _o THE BIG FIVE Player G.

’in this country. Some of the former, I in fact, would make fairly good-sized farms. 1 Incidentally this latest Hagen-Com-poston match helped to dissipate a theory that Hagen is a bold player. As a matter of fact it w’as Compston who took the chances with crow-flight ■ shots while Hagen usually played the ■ dog-legs safely. On virtually every elbow hole Compston tried to cut ' corners. To his credit it may be said that he succeeded because lie is tre- . mendously long off the tee. But whatever advantage Compston had with brassie and driver was lost in Hagen's supremacy within 150 yards of the pin. Those shlfft pitches by the Haig so often searched out the i vicinity of the cup while Compston’s scuttling run-ups stopped short of the I greens. Golf Ever Uncertain It seemed, watching Hagen work so I beautifully, that he never in a month !of April Fool’s Days would lose to ' the lanky Britisher. Yet it is history that Compston handed America's best known "pro” the woiat defeat in his history abroad last spring. Golf is ever uncertain. The men who lay odds on a golf championship, you will notice, are never very generous. So short are the odds, in fact, that if bookies at horse races tried the same tactics the layers would revolt. Both physical and mental condition figure so largely in links competiton that past performances mean little, especially in match play. Then, too, the courses themselves make all the differences in the world. -But, if you must bet, the safest wager we can think of at the moment is that if Archie Compston settles down in the United States and adopts his game to suit the exigencies of American courses he will win more than one major championship.

Lobbyists Wanted “Our brother < olyumnlst at Decatur is exceedingly wrought up since Kendallville business men have obtained control of the only factory In the United States manufacturing shears for jobbers of the nation. The Decatur scribe predicts a rise in the cost of clippings, without which no colynm could be conducted. We suggest the immediate organization of a protective group and the employment of lobbyists to protect our interest." — Huntington Herald. Goshen Team To Camp "In another 10 days Goshen's sportsmen will have a new topic on which to converse —football. The high school football team, led by Coach Gerald Phillips, will leave for their annual two-weeks training grind at Camp I Crosley, James Lake, on August 20. Preparations will begin tomorrow for the trip when Coach Phillips arrives heme. The Red Menace of 1928 promises to be fast and agggressive with plenty of weight on the line, if the letter men returning from last year live up to expectations and the usual run of freshmen and first-year stars continues. There is little doubt that this team will be the best conditioned eleven to represent Goshen in years." —Goshen Democrat. A large number of golfers are expected to be on hand at the Decatur Country Club Sunday morning to complete the Rice Handicap and the Class “C", qualifying rounds. The former is for 36 holes and the latter for 18 holes. Class “C" qualify so can play both rounds in the afternoon if they prefer. Next Sunday. August 19. will be held the first Father and Son golf I tournament of the local club. There ■ are altout 30 members who have sons I eligible to participate in the tourney ■ and n great deal cf rivalry is manifest. Several of the elderly gentlemen may have to look to their laurels when the youngsters get under way. While the Father and Son tourney is in progress here, a team of 15 players will go to Hartford City to play the golfers of that place. A list of the members of the team to be picked will be published in thisxolumn next week. Word has been received from the Portland Golf Club that they will serve a fried chicken dinner after the match there next Wednesday. c Find Gold Nugget In Yard Culver. Ind.. Aug. 11 (INS) —A pure gold nugget in the ore state was found by J. E. Engstrom in his backyard here. It is a small jagged piece about the size of a finger nail. Now Engstrom is wondering if he will discover he has a gold nline in his back yard. o ■_ Watching The Scoreboard —(U.R)Yesterday's hero: Jack Quinn, veteran American league pitcher, who held Washington to four scattered hits, won a shutout victory, 8 to 0, and enabled the Philadelphia Athletics to keep within four and a half games of the leading New York Yankees. Lou Gehrig's 20th home run of the« year, with Ruth and Gazella on bases, gave the New York Yankees three runs in the third inning and paved the way for their 5 to 2 defeat of the Boston Red Sox. A ninth inning rally by Cleveland was checked by the Detroit Tigers after five runs had been scored, allowing the Tigers to defeat the Indians. 8 to 7. The Indians were trailing 8 to 2, when the inning opened. The Chicago White Sox bunched hits in the first and eighth innings to score five runs and defeat the St. Louis Browns. 5 to 3. St. Louis’ runs came in one at a time in the fourth, fifth and eighth innings. St. Louis downed the Pittsburgh Pirates in 12 innings, 2 to 1, to maintain their four game lead in the National league. The Cardinals scored in the first, the Pirates in the second and the home plate remained untouched until the winning run was scored, 10 innings later. Dazzy Vance held Boston's Braves to five hits and the Brooklyn Robins won a game, 5 to 1. Bissonette hit his 19th homer of the year.
