Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

Fair haven, n. j., July 25.— 0f course it may be that Mr. Thomas Heeney, the Anvil of the Anzac, as I shall persist in calling

him, may be one of those nothing guys—and there is ample evidence at hand to prove that there is nothing quite so dangerous as a nothing guy. It may be necessary to tell you what a nothing guy is. The phrase originated in baseball and its proud and somewhat portly papa was and is

£

Joe Williams

none other than William Dineen, the umpire, who calls them as he sees them, right or wrong in the order named, for the American League. Referring to old Bill Bernhardt, Slow ball pitcher of another generation and youthful contemporary of Lajoie, Bradley, Joss and Birmingham of reverend Cleveland memories, Mr. Dineen fixed him as a “nothing guy.” a tt tt Going into the sordid details, pitcher Bernhardt had nothing, Mr, Tineen argued vociferously, yet it was a comparatively easy matter to prove by studying the standing of the pitchers in the games won and lost column that the old fellow must have had something. Very few ball clubs were beating him. tt tt tt SO as I say Mr. Heeney may belong to this queer and dangerous family. The dope indicates he does. The boys tell you he has nothing as a fighter and yet he hasn’t been actually beaten since he came here from New Zealand seventeen months ago, and he has been in nine fights. One of the things that encourage his admirers, if that is the word to use, is the fact he is not the favorite in Thursday’s battle with Mr. Gene Tunney, the great changed man from the pines of Speculator. To Mr. Heeney’s admirers this means only one thing—victory. He has never been the favorite and he has always won. This again is typical of the nothing guys. In the case of Mr. Heeney it may mean something and again it may mean nothing. Most of the nothing guys get that way because of lack of discernment and perspicuity on the part of the customers. Actually they aren’t nothing guys at all, but lack-luster fellows to whom recognition comes slowly.

Come to think of it, Mr. Tunney himself was pretty generally classified as a nothing guy until he stepped out and pounded the contours of the Dempsey face out of bounds at a loss of neither stroke nor distance, which is customary under the rules of the game, or would be if it had been golf they were playing that night. tt u a BUT of course as soon as Mr. Tunney had exploded the legend of invincibility that cloaked the Dempsey frame and had won the championship he became quite a personage. It was surprising how many persons knew all along that he was a great fighting machine. A nothing guy? What a frightful libel! This is not an exceptional picture. It’s the story of all nothing guys who score winning touchdowns in the end. It is also the story of human nature. Today Mr. Heeney does not amount to much. I am told that few people are betting on him at 3 to 1, despite the fact he is a 200-pound giant with unquestioned courage and two solid hands. While stringing with the champion I give Mr. Hetmey the outside chance that any strong two-fisted man in a fight legitimately and logically deserves, but I am taking little stock in the legends of unrecognized genius and the unfailing rewards of adversity that are being built up around him. What I like about him, besides his ’arf and ’arf, is that right hand to the heart. That’s a real slick punch. Mr. Tunney for all his vulgar health is no more invincible than was the man killing, child strangling, well poisoned Dempsey, and all the condition in the world (and the champion claims to have most of it), isn’t going to be of any great value to him if he is tagged in a vulnerable spot and with just the fright amount of authority. Somewhere along the route the rowdy foreigner may succeed and then you shall see what you shall see. tt tt It took Mr. Heeney seven rounds to land that right hand on John Risko’s heart out in Detroit last winter, but when it landed it was not necessary to swear in witnesses attesting to the power of the blow. It took all the fight out of John Risko and turned a winding gait into a losing one. Conceivably a punch like it might have a similar effect on Mr. TunHey. I doubt that he is any tougher than Risko. Speaking strictly from the standpoint of condition, of course.

Roy Wallace Easy Winner at Harrison Local Fighter Outpunches Bobby Williams; Allen Beats Woods. The best all-round fistic program of the outdoor season was staged at Ft. .Harrison Tuesday night, where Roy Wallace, Indianapolis, decisively defeated Bobby Williams in the ten-round main event. Every fight on the card was a good go. The Times’ decisions: Hoy Wallace defeated Bobby Williams, ten rounds. Bobby Allen defeated Kid Woods. eight rounds. Eddie Roberts defeated Eddie Ammon, six rounds. Jimmy O'Brian knocked out Cherokee Kid. third round. Clyde Austermiller defeated Johnny Smole. four rounds. Roy Wallace probably never has shown better here, and in Williams he was facing one of the toughest scrappers ever to invade Indianapolis. The Syracuse boy took a terrific walloping, and the wonder of it all was how he managed to .stand up. Wallace kept piling up points with a neat left-hand jab and a cutting right-hand to the body. In the seventh Roy tore loose with four hefty wallops and Williams went into a clinch. In the ninth Wallace almost tore off Bobby’s head with another right and the Syracuse pug’s eye went completely closed. In the semi-windup Kid Woods was outsmarted and outsped. Bobby Allen, a Chicago boy, displayed plenty of speed and aggressiveness and had it all over the local flsticuffer. Eddie Roberts had it all over Eddie Ammon, Cincinnati. Roberts missed almost every time he aimed a punch but managed to send it m either the second or third time. He landed about five blows to Ammon’s one. The largest crowd of the season was present. Jimmy Hackley, Indianapolis, and A1 Foreman, England, meet in next week’s windup.

Champion Gene Is Intent or Knocking Out. Challenger. ANZAC IS CONFIDENT Feels Certain Crown Will Change Hands. BY GEORGE XIRKSf.Y United Press Stab. Correspo:. lent NEW YORK, July 25.—The shadow of Jack Dempsey has fallen across tomorrow night’s heavyweight championship bout between Gene Tunney and Tom Heeney. When the roar of the crowd swells into that tumultous tidal wave of sound which the old Manassa mauler so often evoked, Jack Dempsey will not be in one corner of the ring for the first time since that broiling afternoon at Toledo nine years ago when he battered the giant Jess Willard to the canvas. But the figure of Jack Dempsey is indelibly inscribed on the subconscious mind of Gene Tunney. Tunney, surrounded in this place by hero worshipers, is at heart a hero worshiper himself, and his hero is Jack Dempsey. Tunney, whose forte is boxing, skill and science, wants to be a killer, and he will crawl into the ring at the Yankee stadium soul bent on beating down Tom Heeney, not by artistry, but. the lethal fists that made Jack Dempsey the greatest drawing card in the history of pugilism. Both men, their training completed, are awaiting the opening gong. FAIRHAVEN, N. J., July 25. If Tom Heeney wins the heavyweight championship of the world in New York Thursday night, it is likely that the next title bout will be held in London. That is the opinion voiced by Bernard Mortimer, discoverer of Heeney. When asked who would be the greatest drawing card against Heeney, he answered, “Jack Dempsey would get the call. Imagine a fight between Heeney and Dempsey in London.” Heeney is a man without temperament. No one knows him better than his trainer, Jimmie Hennessey, with whom he was in seclusion today and the majority of the time until the fight. The last few days have been much easier for Heeney than his friends could expect for. He is in the best of mental condition. In fact, it seems at times Heeney thinks little of the big party Tex Rickard will stage at the Yankee Stadium. Heeney, himself, is confident the crown will change hands affd is not backward about saying so.

Soutar, pro at Broadmoor, entered. Frank Shields, the star Indianapolis Country Club amateur, also entered. Sam Simpscn and Dick Gant, young Highland players, also sent in their entry blanks. Don’t forget, boys, and watch that announcement on The Times playground page Friday. Big news! Klwanians to the number of about seventy will compete In the July golf tourney of the organization at Meridian Hills. Thursday, starting at 1 p. m. The event has been styled the "Stamina tourney.” and a special "stamina" prize will be awarded. Other prizes will be for low gross, low net. ninth low gross and thirteenth low net. Entrants also will enter competition for the attendance low net trophy, which will be awarded following the closing September tourney. Albert J. Wohlgemuth and Clarence E. Durnell have arranged for Thursday's event. TITLE FIGHT RETURNS The management of the Broad Ripple Park A. C. has arranged for returns of the Tunney-Heeney fight at New York Thursday night to be read from the ring during the staging of the usual weekly boxing show at the bathing beach. The Don Sanders—Johnny Meyers six-round main go is a return match between maulers who put up one of the best scraps of the'season at the Ripple a few weeks ago. There will be three other scraps, all four-rounders.

British Make Effort to Disqualify Charley Paddock for Olympiad Absence of Proof Causes Failure of Move; Failed to Make Self Clear in Speech.

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent AMSTERDAM, July 25.—A new effort to disqualify Charles Paddock, veteran American sprint star, was made by the British delegation today at a meeting of the executive committee of the International Olympic committee. The effort was believed to have failed. General Kentish, the British delegate, at a secret meieting of the committee Tuesday night, quoted a London newspaper articles in which it was charged Paddock had boasted four Americans in the 100-yard dash at the Paris games in 1924 agreed to make successive false starts in order to tire out Harold Abrahams, British Star, but finally did not do so. Kentish was asked for proof of the charge. He had none, and it was decided not to refer the question, in absence of further proof, to the International committee—as Kentish had requested. The charge has American officials worried, though Paddock has an alibi on the charge. He told the United Press he did outline such a possibility as General Kentish suggested, but only as what professionals might have done in a similar race. The fact of the matter seems to oe that Paddock made an injudicious radio speech in which he tried to outline the hypothetical difference jpetween Amateur and pro-

Bargain Day for Fans as Indians Mix With Brewers in Twin Bill Tribe in Double-Header Today; League Leaders Nose Out Visitors in Series Opener Tuesday.

BY EDDIE ASH • A game postponed in the April series with the Brewers was added to today's card at the ball park and the fans had an opportunity to see the league-leading Indians battle Jack Lelivelt’s crew twice for the price of one. The double-header was to start at 2 o’clock. All of which makes the current series five tilts instead of four, and the Betzelites grabbed the first struggle Tuesday, 4 to 3. Byron Speece battled Claude. Jonnard, one of the league’s outstanding ball twisters, and the score was even. 3 and 3, when they retired for pinch hitters. Boone Gets Credit The change brought Boone and Gearin to the mound and Danny shaded Dinty, the Indians getting a run in the eighth on Comorosky’s infield hit and Holke’s three-base poke to left center. Boone walked two of the enemy, one in the eighth and one in the ninth, but retired the other Brewers and emerged with a two-inning victory. Haney and Comorosky were “poison” to the visitors, each poling three safe. Two Haney singles developed into runs and he drove in another. Commy socked in two markers and scored one himself. Pep Nails Two Pep Florence operated on the Tribe receiving end again and caught two Brewers stealing with perfect throws. The big fellow is going to be a big help to the home pastimers If he continues to get the sphere down to second ahead of the runners, for Roy Spencer needs a rest after many consecutive days spent wearing the “tools.” Bevo Lebourveau, back In the league with hia bid bat. smacked three safetlea and drew a walk In five trips to the plate. Wld Matthews launched the Tribe's

fessional running. He did not succeed in making himself clear. General Kentish was advised today to refer the matter direct to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, head of the American Olympic committee, who, before the charge was made, had received from Paddock an explanation some consider to be satisfactory. Peck Signed as Cleveland Pilot for 192 b Season Ohio, July 25—The reappointment of Roger Peckinpaugh to pilot the Cleveland Indians in 1929 was looked upon with favor in baseball circles here today, despite the fact the Indians have been playing some of the poorest ball in the American League. The announcement Pecklnpaugh had been signed for another year was made by Alva Bradley, president of the club, who said the appointment was not only “a gesture of confidence in Peck but was intended to encourage him to forget the present disastrous campaign.”

French Fear Young Yank Tennis Stars Rene La Coste Not to Play in United States This Year. B,y United Press PARIS, July 25.—France will have difficulty In retaining the Davis cup tennis trophy In the biatches with the United States, despite that William T. Tilden is not a member of the Davis cup team, Rene La Coste said today. La Coste, who Tuesday said he would not defend his American outdoor title this year because he had to “prepare for the future,” said he considered the American team of Francis Hunter, George Lott and John Hennessey quite formidable.. When La Coste announced he would not defend his American title there were many reports he was quitting tennis and other reports that the move was because of the recent barring by the U. S. L. T. A. of William T. Tilden from the United States Davis cup team. La Coste denied these rumors. “I have decided to play very little tennis in the future and devote myself seriously to business with my father,” he told the United Press. "This will prevent my returning to the United States to defend my title there. “I really regret being unable to remeet the Americans, who have always treated me most kindly, but the time has come to prepare for the future.” The French team that wi]s go to the United States for the championships will Include Henri Cochet, Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnoti. Boussus and Landry. La Coste said .he considered this team sufficiently strong to bring back all of the American titles.
