Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

"•JEW YORK. March 24.--Gene i Tunney has toid Rickard the j ’me of the fighter lie prefers to <■ fend iris title against this sum- : The fighter is Tom Heeney, i :lsh-Australian, among the heavyeight cligibles recognized by the

New York Boxing Commission. Unless developments impossible to anticipate intervene Tunney will step into the ring seme time in July, probably the 2th or the 19th. with the muscular ma n from down-un-der sitting in the opposite corner. The fight will be held at the Yankee Stadium.

Williams

T fy information is that Tunney had a difficult time persuading Rickard ' hat Heeney would make a suitable > pponent and worth-while gate at- .. action. tt tt tt Tunney argued that Heeney’s record spoke for itself. Nobody sas whipped him since he has been in this country while, on the other hand, he has whipped Sharkey and Itisko. Besides he r ye than held his own with Fa-. i/lino on two occasions. u a tt A NOTHER persuasive factor was ■tx. that Heeney is from another country. This gives the match an international flavor, a circumstance V at is commonly supposed to add s imulue to the gate receipts, even V it adds nothing to the artistry of the performance. Rickard’s present attitude is that 1 c will name Keeney as the champ.:n’s opponent provided satisfactory terms can be agreed on. In e her words, Heeney appears to be definitely assured a match with Tunney if he is willing to fight for a. comparatively moderate wage. Just how moderate is not known. Tommy Gibbons fought Dempsey Icr nothing, stayed the limit of fifteen rounds with him, and cashed in to the extent of nearly SIOO,OOO on a subsequent vaudeville tour. Heeney will not be asked to fight fer nothing but if he is offered more than SIOO,OOO as a guarantee a lot of people, including old men, will be surprised. tt tt tt Rickard’s contract with Tunney calls for a guarantee of 8525,000 with a privilege of 50 per cent of the gate. This is a duplication of the contract he had with the champion at Chicago last summer. The promoter is going to exercise strict frugality in the distribution of his other monies. u a a HEENEY’S rise to the position of foremost contender for the richest championship known to the world of sports is without a parallel in boxing. In his own country and in England he was never seriously considered. When he came here he had a hard time getting any sort of fight. No one in authority at the Garden would even go down to watch him work out. That’s how little they thought of him. The truth is Heeney didn’t think much of himself. All he wanted was to get a couple of minor fights and collect enough money to enable him to continue his trip to San Francisco. He had an urge to see ’Frisco before returning to his native land. Getting away to a winning start against Paluka, one Charles Anderson, he continued to improve with each new assignment. Although he didn’t get the decision he beat Paolino twice he stopped Maloney, beat Risko in the west and topped his forward march off by beating Sharkey, supposedly the best of the contenders. a a tt There is nothing spectacular about Heeney. He is a plugger. He has a line right upper cut and is practically immune to punishment. Nobody has been able to hurt him or make him back up. He has been on the floor twice but only for a few brief seconds. Tunney may not find him such a soft touch at that.

Tex May Match Delaney , Tommy By United Tress MIAMI BEACH. Fla., March 24. Tex Rickard has in mind a bout for the light heavyweight championship in which Jack Delaney, who forsook his light heavy crown for an adventure in heavyweight ranks, w.ill meet Tommy Loughran, present champion, Rickard said here. Rickard, in announcing Loughran’s next opponent, set aside reports that either Loughran or Delaney would be given a chance at Gene Tunney later on in the year. “There is no such prospect—this year at least,” Rickard said. “Neither is big enough to worry the heavyweight champion.”

Buffalo Bisons Drop Tribe, 7 to 5; Execute Six Double Plays. LEVERETT GOES GREAT Burwell, Schupp Slated for Duty Today. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla.. .March L’J.—The slumpitis itch appari ently lias .stung Bruno Bctzcl’s j Indians early this year i'or in S six exhibition contests to date 11 he Iloosicr pastimers have won i one game, tied one and lost j four. They took it on the eliin again Friday at Palmetto, 7 to •”>. the Buffalo Bisons turning the trick the second time this j week. j The Tribesmen outbatted their opI ponents, and committed only one error, but six double plays executed by the International Leaguers erased some fine Indian scoring opportunities. It is needless to state that Buffalo achieved an unusual feat by turning in six two-ply killing, a few made on hard-hit balls. To top off the week, Manager Betel was escheduled to pilot his team to Orlando today for a conflict with the Cincinnati Reds. It was another tiresome motor jaunt that faced the performers. Interest in today’s fray was centered in the work of pitchers Burwell and Schupp. The popular veterans were slated to operate on the mound against Jack Hendricks National Leaguers with perhaps a third hurler finishing the fracas. Burwell and Schupp baffled the Reds in an exhibition last March and they were eager to duplicate the performance at Orlando this afternoon. On Monday, in Plant City, the teams will meet in a second skirmish. Dixie Leverett, Herman Meyers and Buck Schemanske toiled in the Tribe box Friday against Buffalo, with the first named uncorking a deceptive assortment. He allowed three hits in five innings and struck out two men. Meyers was bumped freely in two innings and Schemanske pitched the last round and escaped unscathed. Leverett's action pleased Boss Betbel and caused Bruno to compliment the right hander. Os the eleven tribe hits. Haney and Spencer each poled two. Mueller smashed out a triple for the longest tribe drive. tt a The way the Indians were knocked off in double plays Friday was “murder.” They would get men on the sacks only to see Buffalo wipe them off. a a a The Betzehtes crashed in double j outs in the second, third, fourth,! fifth, seventh and ninth innings.; Holke and Warstler each hit into ! two double executions.* George Fish- j er, Buffalo right fielder, made a shoe ; string catch of a Warstler drive j and snuffed out Tribe hopes in the j second round. a it Herman Layne made the trip to j Palmetto but didn't see action. He begged off because of a lame back. Walter Mueller filled Herman’s position and proved a star. Jacobson and Anderson also supplied sparkling catches. u n a Mueller is a cinch to land a | berth with the Indians if he maintains his spring training pace. He is a wonderful judge of a fly ball, is fast and owns a strong, accurate throwing arm. a a tt Oh, well, the boys got good practice even if they were on the short end. Their batting was encouraging to the camp followers despite the six double plays against them. The fielding record turned in by Buffalo ’seldom occurs throughout an entire season. The best Walter Holke could do was to get a base on balls in five appearances at the plate. He is experiencing his worst spring at bat. a a Buffalo played errorless ball despite heavy work on the infield. Second Baseman Thomas accepted thirteen chances. a a a Fred Haney and Fred Schupp, Tribe regulars were pleased but mystified over them escape from serious injury in an auto smashup Friday morning. Riding in Emil Yde’s car, they were wrecked on a turn outside of Plant City and the machine turned over and crashed against a pole. Haney, who was driving, said the pole saved them. The othet car, driven by a Negro, also was demolished. The Negro received cheek lacerations from flying glass. From the appearance o fthe crushed machines, it evidently was a miraculous escape from death for Haney and Schupp. tt a a Tribe batting averages, including six exhibition games and five practice games, follow: Games.

Harris Says Club Will Be Up in Fight

Bucky Aims Senators for Second Place; Rates Yankees High. Editor's Not' - : Following is the second of a series of United Press interviews I with the 16 major league managers tell-, i inc wherr tliev expect to finish in the I 1928 campaigns, who they expect to win the pennants ai*l who they consider. ! their most dangerous rivals. TAMPA, Fla., March 24.—1 t may • be the lame foot which keeps hfm fretting on the bench these fine I spring days; or it may be a nautral tendency not to exaggerate; biu whatever it is. Manager Stanley Harris of the Washington Senators is not predicting a pennant for his club this year. Second place is what Bucky is shooting at, he declared today in an exclusive interview with the United Press. "I can’t see any club’ beating us out for second place,” said the youthful pilot of the Senators, “and if the New York Yankees falter 1 believe we will be light on their heels.” Harris considers the world’s champions the class of the league as far as the club's attack is concerned, but expects Washington's improved defense to carry the Senators higher than they landed in 1927. “I feel certain we will have a stronger club than last season, with an unsurpassed pitching staff, steadier in the field and stronger reserves,” Bucky declared. "We finished third last year. This time, I believe we will be a strong second, at the worst, and that any faltering on the part of the leaders will make us a nip-and-tuck pennant contender.” The manager of the Senators is particularly proud of his pitching staff. He has ten pitchers he believes are winners: Irving Hadley, Horace Lisenbcc, Milton Gaston, Sam Jones. “Firpo” Marberry, J. T. Zachary, Garland Braxton, Clarence Griffen, Edwin Wells and C. Van Alstyne. Sam West, the young outfielder from Rochester Tex., Bucky considers a “second Speaker.” Harris admits the youngster is not as strong a hitter as Tris, but maintains he is fully as good in the outfield. “Right now, all I feel certain of is that our own team will be noticeably stronger, improved in a greaater degree than some of the other leading contenders.” Premier Jockey Is Reinstated BALTIMORE, Md., March 24.

Merely Chatter -BY NORMAN ISAAC'S-

A LITTLE bit of news for Indianapolis baseball followers is the report that Joe Wyatt, former Wabash College athlete and ex-out-fielder for the Indians, now is performing with Decatur in the Threc-I circuit. Joe was “holdingout” on New Orleans and the Pelicans promptly sold the ex-Tribes-man. If Wyatt fails to land a regular berth with the Threc-I outfit he had best request for a transfer to the Phillies. n an Tex Rickard is reported to be dickering with Charles Stoncham of the New York Giants for the purchase of the Polo Grounds. The promoter wants to use the Giants’ baseball park for outdoor scraps, college and pro football games and other events. In the, event Tex does buy the big park it is said that the Giants will make use of the Yankee stadium. a tt a WIRES carried the report late Thursday evening that although the personnel of the Mexican Davis Cup team had not yet been announced it was believed that the team will be composed of Robert Kinsey, Ricardo Tapia and Alfonso Unda. This young man is almost willing to bet that one of the trio representing "Uncle Sam” will be John Francis Hennessey of 3720 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. JOE M'CARTHY or the Chicago Cubs is out broadcasting to the world in general that he came out on "top” m the Cuyler-Adams deal last winter. Joe is raving about how wonderful Cuyler looks and how “Kiki” is poling ’em out of reach of the gardeners. Ownic Bush, another loyal Indianapolis product, managing the Pirates, isn't given to much "gab,” but the other day when the Pirates tangled with the San Francisco team in a double header, “Sparky” Adams got one hit in four times up in the morning and four bingles in the afternoon. According to what reports we have Adams recently poled out two two-baggers and a homer in one day's work.
