Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
SPECULATOR. N. Y., July 21. The boys are saying nobody knows how good Tom Heeney is and beer use nobody dees it is not easy to forecast what will happen when Tex Rifckard unveils his newest
cauliflower tableau next week. This isn’t entirely true. Off hand I should say that practically every • body knows how good the Anvil of Anzac is. He. was good enough to whip, fellows like Sharkey. Delaney. Paolino and Risko and ill that aoesn i stamp him u,s al pretty fair fighting man A!
i
Joe Williams
Smith never wore a derby hat. The question of greatest importance to those impatient souls who can’t wait until the result of the fight is told to them by radio and newspapers does not concern Heeney at all. Quite naturally and normally it concerns his opponent, jGene Tunney, the defending champion.
This always has been true in heavyweight championships and it is more true today when the l champion remains idle over stretches from one to three years, it has been said that Tunney fooled the experts at Philadelphia. I don’t think he did. It was , Dempsey who fooled them. a a a GOING into that fight Tunney had been beaten only once in his career, and this only after he had had his nose broken and his eyes blinded by scalp uppercuts from the head of Harry Greb. He never had been knocked down and had shown steady improvement with each new start. Tunney’s ability was admitted by the experts. It was conceded he fiad condition, speed, boxing skill and heart. What the experts refused to admit was that these qualities were sufficient to offset the pempsey wallop. * And here is where they kicked one all ever the infield. The Dempsey wallop wasn’t there. It may have been there but it couldn't get Started. Three years of inactivity had cut deeply into the fighting technique of the Old Man Mauler, pe lumbered and floundered around the ring, was rarely in a real hitting position, saw openings come and go thht left him stumbling over his Own feet. a a a
The surprise that night was not' that Tunney was so effective, but -that Dempsey was so ineffective. Dempsey looked pretty good in training. At any rate he didn't look as bad as he did once the fight began. a a a trouble is that science has yet to devise a gimmick by Which an expert or anybody else can look into a veteran fighter’s ithind, if any, or heart, or body before the big guns begin to bellow Until this is done I fear the experts will have to keep going right along making clowns of themselves. For obvious reasons Heeney ought to be less of a problem today than Tunney. He has fought nine times In a little more than a year, whereas the champion has fought unly twice in thirty months. The maphinery of one fighter has been constantly on display, the machinery of the other has been disclosed In frugal glimpses. When Tunney walked into the ting at Philadelphia he carried with him fighting hands and instincts Sharpened to the znth degree. A year later at Chicago he faced the same man again. And yet there were changes that, were important Jf not vital. Tunney was not. as good as he had been the year before. His chief second, Jimmy Bronson. has repeatedly admitted the champion was at least 20 per cent off. and it always has been my contention that he was not exactly 111 favored in the matter of luck in that seventh round. a a a What made Tunney 20 per cent less effective? The year’s lay off. Nothing else. Who is there to say he will not be at least that far, if not farther, from his best .orm next week with almost another year of calm and tranquility behind him? Whoever it is let him speak now or forever hold his alibi. T 0 DAY 7 S~SE LECTIO N S LINCOLN FIELDS • JJOldrake. Black Flyer. Roycrofter. ‘ f} e j ra- Capistrano. Gotham. “ Lindy. Earl of Warwick.

American Doubles Team Plays Italian Pair at Paris. YANKEES TWO AHEAD One Victory Advances Team to Final. BY RALPH HEINZEN United Pres* Staff Correspondent PARIS, July 21.—America today strived to win the right to challenge France for the Davis Cup tennis trophy, taken from the United States in a disheartening series of matches last summer. The United States team won its two singles matches from Italy Friday and if George Lott and John Hennessey defeated Baron Di Morpurgo and P. Gaslini today, the United States will be France’s challenger. Tilden was elated with the way his charges—that is the men he had been placed in charge of before his home federation said he violated an amateur ruling by writing of the Wimbledon tournament played Friday. Frank T. Hunter, the present captain .defeated Gaslini in straight sets and with ease. Then Hennessey. new in international match play defeated the wily Baron Di Morpuigo, best on the continent with the exception of France’s three famed leaders. Hennessey, now No. 1 man on the team, was dazzling. He mixed strokes. He used chops and vicious line smashes with equal ease. He won in straight sets after having entered the match on the short end of the betting. On the basis of Hennessey’s play Friday and the fact he and Lott, the young Chicagoan, made a clever doubles team a United States victory today was expected.

Betzel’s Pacemakers, in Front by Two Games, Start Series of Three Battles With Louisville Colonels Tribe Road Trip Highly Successful in View of Several Handicaps; Fans Urged to Support Pastimers in Their Pennant Drive.
BY EDDIE ASH Renewing their fight to retain the lead in the sizzling A. A. flag chase, Bruno Betzel’s Indians were to mix with Bill Meyer’s Louisville Colonels today in the first of a three-game {series. Beginning a long stretch on the home lot, the Tribesmen are topping the pack by a slender margin of only two games, and at the rate five other clubs are going after adding strength there is reason to believe the Tribe must get a margin in every series in order to stay out in front. Hold on to Lead The Tribe pastimers won twelve games and lost nine on the recent road trip and surprised the strong western tlubs with their ability to retain the pacemaking berth. After the Milwaukee series, the Indian pitching staff was handicapped when Bill Burwell was forced out of action by illness, the veteran being unavailable for duty during the battles with Saints and Millers. \ Swetonic Due to Pitch Steve Swetonic, skillful righthander who beat Jimmy Zinn and Bubbles Jonnard recently, was slated to take the Tribe mound against Louisville today. The young man from Pittsburgh University has attracted the scouts and he is sure to get a trial in the majors if he continues his fine twirling. Swetonic, Warstler, Haney and Leverett were paid high compliments by “The Old Scout” In the New York Sun in a recent issue. Perhaps the chief reason for the slight letdown in Fred Haney’s batting on the last road trip was the fact he got a cinder in his eye at Kansas City and it was removed in parte by two eye specialists, the first operation getting only half of the particle. Fred had an unpleasant journey through the West for that reason, but stayed in the game, despite the fact he had to wear dark “specs” when not on the field. With Burwell getting his strength back after a siege of the flu, the handicap now is Walter Holke, who has a bad knee. He hobbled much of the time through the long road journey and it is feared the leg is going to bother him for some time. But despite all obstacles the Indians are on top and some encouragement by the fans In the way of better week-day support will go a long way to pep up the pastimers in their campaign to win the championship. Eddie Sicking, blazing anew trail in baseball, with the bat .this time, is in town with the Colonels and the former Indian wants his friends to know he is mighty proud of his batting record. He is going big with the bludgeon and has become a hero in Louisville. The Indians have won fifteen more games than lost and hold an
maxon course in ten under par for the four rounds and held his total to 278, equalling the record score for the Metropolitan. He beat out Johnny Farrell, national open champion, by two strokes. Consistency won for Armour and enabled him to stave off a last-

Mrs. Bulson Wins State Golf Crown Ft. Wayne Star Takes Woman’s Title in Final Match. B’l Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 21. Mrs. A. E. Bulson, Ft. Wayne Country Club star, today was the holder of the women’s State golf championship for 1928. Mrs. Bulson won the crown Friday when she defeated Mrs. Robert Gipson, one up, in the final match of the Indiana Women’s Golf Association tournament here. A five-foot putt on the eighteenth green after Mrs. Gipson has missed a seven-footer gave the Ft. Wayne woman the 1928 title. With the match all even at the end of the seventeenth Mrs. Gipson went into the rough on the right of her second shot and was over the gully just short of the green on her third shot. Mrs. Bulson found the rough on her second and was over the green on her third. Both were on in four, Ms. Gipson seven feet from the cup and Mrs. Bulson five feet away.

Champ Tunney Grows Talkative as Title Scrap Nears. Bn United Press SPECULATOR. N. Y., July 21. Gene Tunney got back into the ring today after twenty-four hours in which he did nothing but eat, sleep and talk. The heavyweight champion has become loquacious. He discusses the effect of milk upon the human system; the fighting ability of Hr rold Mays, his sparring partner; the benefits of airplane travel as compared to rail transportation and the new and old philosophies of the prize ring. There is only one tiling Tunney won't discuss his bout for the heavyweight championship wi* Tom Heeney in the Yankee stad’ an Thursday night. Regarding milk, Tunney said he was aware that veteran trainers had advised him not to take his quart a day, but that he knew himself better than the trainers did. Milk, the champion said, dulls his fighting edge. That is what he needs, ior right now Tunney has about the best fighting edge of his career. The champion was enthusiastic about Mays. “That >oy has everything a firstclass fighter needs except experience,” Tunney said. “He can hit, he is fast and he absorbs stiff punches without batting an eye. Outside of Heeney and Risko, he is probably the most promising heavyweight contender.” Tunney has not weakened in his determination to fly to New York Thursday. A plane, with the champion aboard, wil leave about 10 a. m. Thursday, arriving at Curtiss Field, L. 1., at noon. Tunney weighed 191 pounds today, and was two pounds heavier than he plans to be when he enters the ring. The champion’s camp has received a list of the preliminaries to the Tunney-Heeney fight. They follow: Semi-Final, Six Rounds—Johnny Gross vs. Francisco Cruz. Six Rounds—Herman Heller vs. George La Rocco. Six Rounds—Big Boy Peterson vs. Jimmy Byrne. Four Rounds—Bill Daring vs. Joe Land.

just a big, rough fellow who could take it, Heeney may turn out to be a big, rough fellow who can give it in addition. Envious of Dempsey’s reputation as a “killer” and axious to increase his own drawing power, because he will fight on a percentage next year if he retains the title, Tunney is going to make every effort to knock out Heeney. “No man in the world can knock me out wth six ounce gloves,” Heeney said today. Heeney never has been knocked out, and onl ytwice hsa he ever been on the floor. Bud Gorman, Kenosha (Wis|) heavyweight, floored Heeney with a rgiht to the jaw, but Heeney got up without a count. The knockdown was almost a repitition of the Sherkey-Dempsey knockout. Heeney protested about a low punch to the referee and Gorman landed the knockdown blow as Heeney dropped his guard. When Heeney got up he chased Gorman around the ring. Heeney won the bout in the next round on a foul. Paolino floored Heeney for a count of four in the first round. The impresssion is gaining headway among many smart boxing critics that if the bout goes the limit from the eighth round on Heeney will improve and Tunney will tire. Heeney took the day off Friday, not even going near his training camp. He took an automobile ride and a cruise off the Jersey coast in a millionaire friend’s sailboat. With only three days of hard training left, Heeney went back to the gymnasium for va strenuous workout today. Heeney will complete his boxing Monday and rest Tuesday and Wednesday.

Guy Paulsen Takes Open Links Title Ft. Wayne Pro Annexes State Event at French Lick. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent FRENCH LICK, Ind., July 21. Guy Paulsen, youthful Ft. Wayne Country Club pro, is the State open golf champion today. He won the title by three strokes because he was able to shoot better than perfect golf Friday over the last nine holes of the Hill course here when excellent play was necessary to return him the victor. He turned in an exceptionally low card of 289 for seventy-two holes of championship play over this difficult course. Freddy McDermott, pro of Shelbyville, was second with 292. James Noonan, pro of the Turkey Creek course at Gary was third with 296. He was tied for the honors by William Tinder of Anderson. By finishing in first and second places in the State event, Paulsen and McDermott won the right to represent Indiana in the National Professional Golfers’ Association tournament at Baltimore in October. Joseph Simpson of Terre Haute. Ind.. former amateur champion, finished at the head of the amateur field and fifth in the entire field with a 298. The four other amateurs who won prizes were George Lance, State amateur champion, 302; Dwight Mitchell, French Lick, 304; John Lehman. Gary, 305, and Will Diddel, Indianapolis, 307. Ervin Nelson of Culver and Wallie Nelson of Indianapolis, shared sixth honors with 299. and E. Leonard of Bedford was eighth with 300 Neil Mclntyre, Indianapolis; Ed Baeming, Michigan City; Robert Murray, Gary; John Watson, South Bend, and Russell Honehouse, Indianapolis, divided the last cash prize for eighth place among prose The last eighteen holes of the tournament developed into a real fight. When play started in the afternoon, Paulsen had 215, McDermott 222, Simpson 220 and J. Noonan and Robert Murray, both of Gary, had 221 each for 54 holes. McDermott turned the first nine in 34. Paulsen went well until the seventh hole, where he was in a sand trap and took four blows to get out. He finished the nine with a 40 and a scant stroke ahead of McDermott at that point. To beat McDermott, Paulsen had to shoot par. How he did it is best told in the fact it was not par he shot on the last nine, but two under par. He birdied on the eleventh and fifteenth holes and shot all the others perfect. That is how he became State open champion. The others finished with the following scores: Cleveland. Gary, 305. Machay. Lafayette. 302. T. Brannon. Gary, 343. Shields. Indianapolis, 31J. D. Nelson. Indianapolis. 312. J. Stevenson, Indianapolis. 321. Hess. Clinton. 306. R. Tinder, Anderson, 322. Lauehlin.
