Talking It Over fcITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 26.—Should Mr. Thomas Heeney, the Anvil, by dint of some miracle or other, knock Mr. Gene Tunney loose from his affability in the stadium ring tonight, none of the boys can rise and say he picked on a hollow shell. This is one heavyweight cham-

pionship singularly devoid of hollow shells, and in this respect it qualifies as something of a nov-, elty. Except for what you might call the fill-in fights here and there along the line there always was a hollow shell in the cast when the title was at stake. When James J. Corbett took

Joe Williams

the title away from Sullivan your old man read in the paper the next day that the young “Frisco bank clerk had beaten a hollow shell.” Paragraphs to the same pointed effect were distilled when Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jefferies passed in turn. tt tt tt When Dempsey dethroned Jess Willard at Toledo it was written 1.8 won rather from a bowl of blubber than a real fighting machine, and when Dempsey himself was finally whipped he was pictured as an aged gentlemen with long white whiskers, chronic rheumatism and spavined fetlocks. tt a a *T'HIS is one of the strange truths of the ring. Practically none of the holders of the heavyweight title ever whipped a man who was at the top of his fighting skill. In most instances the hollow shell classification was correct. Tunney did not whip the Dempsey of Toledo when he won the title, any more than Corbett whipped the Sullivan of another and more formidable decade. The truth is Tunney, like most of the champions who came before him, was lucky. Circumstances pitted him, at his peak, against Dempsey, definitely on the down grade. This is a break that will not be riding with Mr. Heeney when he starts throwing his club-like firsts at the American champion tonight. Tunney is still pretty close to his peak. He has slipped, but not greatly. At any rate he is not- a hollow shell, and since the heavyweight title is usually won from hollow shells it would seem that the odds are against the Anvil. tt a a Asa matter of fact there is more physical excellence and muscular soundness involved in thisfight than in any within my more or less mottled memory. tt tt tt 'T'HE visitor in Speculator is assured that Tunney is vulgarly healthy. He is told the champion couldn’t be otherwise, for doesn’t he arise with the birds’ (tweet! tweet!) in the morning; doesn’t he drink a gallon of cow’s milk a day, (Moo! Moo!), and doesn’t he abstain from all forms of dissipation and vice? (Sweet! Sweet!> The answer is yes on all three counts. The man certainly is in condition. And what is the chief characteristic of Henney? Durability. That’s why he s called the Hard Rock, the Anvil, the Bride’s Biscuit and Hunka Lead. Ke is tough and when you throw one of these tough fellows in the ring against a man who has devoted thirty years to the stem business of deep breathing, clean thinking and dainty diatetics you are not likely to have one of them fold up and collapse on your hands. If this were to be one of those old-time finish fights it might be necessary to shoot them to get it over with. tt tt There Is little prospect that either Tunney or Heeney will be obliging io the customers tonight. Whatever happens is not likely to happen early.

Heeney and Tunney Ready to Step in Ring at Yankee Stadium

Tex Rickard Expected to Lose Money on Title . Fight. OPPONENTS ARE CALM Dempsey May Second Anzac Challenger. BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 26. Clear skies and cool .breezes of early morning augured well for the Gene Tanney-Tom Heeney heavyweight championship light tonight, but box office indications were that the crowd would fall below expectations. Sixty thousand persons are expected to pass through the fortyeight turnstiles at Yankee Stadium tonight and there will be room for 28,000 more. Tex Rickard, who never yet has lost on a heavyweight championship fight, hoped for a last minute rush to build up the proceeds for this mammoth fight program. It seemed, without definite knowledge, that Rickard’s faith in fight fans rushing to see a heavyweight title bout would be shaken, if not shattered. There seemed a chance Rickard would lose possibly $200,000 on tonight’s venture even though the clear, cool weather fits in well with “Rickard Luck.” Many seats will be sold today and attaches of the Rickard office predicted the last minute rush would bring Tex a profit. Merely a Business The fight tonight will bring together a soft spoken student of the classics and a mild genial blacksmith, both of whom would rather be playing golf. Fighting is just a business with Gene Tunney and Tom Heeney. “Show me any other job in which I can make as much money and I will quit the ring," said Tunney. “If I win, I guess I’ll loaf for a while,” said Heeney. At 10 o’clock Indianapolis daylight saving time tonight there may be another potential millionaire in New York. That will be Heeney —if he wins. Or he may be standing in the glare of the ring with his bead bloody but unbowed, just another good boxer with a heart of oak who missed his big chance. In bringing Tunney and Heeney together, Rickard went to the ends of the earth for his men. Tunney is a native New Yorker, a former clerk who found his life work while serving with the marines in the World War. When Crown Changed Then down the years to that drizzly September night in 1926 when he met the leaden-legged Jack Dempsey at Philadelphia and after thirty minutes of fighting was hailed as heavyweight champion of the world. Tunney’s victory was startling. The old order changed, split infinitives were mended, and for the first time in the history of the world a heavyweight champion was speaking faultless English. Heeney is different. He is a sportsman, not a scholar. Ke likes his golf, his dogs and his ale. His heart is as big as his muscle-bound shoulders, and he. radiates cheer and good will. He came sailing up from his training camp at Fair Haven, N. J., on a millionaire's yacht today, unperturbed by the fact that this is the greatest day of his life. Tunney was calm, too, as he flied down from Speculator, N. Y., in an Amphibian plane. That’s why Rickard is going to lose money. Both fighters are too calm. They admit that they like each other. New York Interested Twenty-five thousand visitors are here for the bout. They have come from Australia, China, Japan, England- and all parts of the United States. After two weeks of indifference, New York is becoming interested in the fight. It is the topic of discussion on every street corner. It was said along Broadway today that when Tunney climbs into the ring tonight he will stand face to face with his old foe, Dempsey. Rickard was authority for the statement that Dempsey would be Heeney’s chief second. From other sources the report was denied, and Dempsey himself would not comment. Betting men say Heeney has one chance in three to whip Tunney. Those odds will waver before nightfall, and no one can say what they will be when the fighters stand face to face on the square of canvas which the world for some strange reason calls a ring.

Thom Victor in Draw for A. A. Prizes Indianapolis Fan Lucky in Settlement of 18-Way Times Tie. Jack Thom, 3355 W. Michigan St., was the lucky fan in The Times AllA. A. contest and he will collect his prizes Friday. His name was drawn out of a box at The Times office Wednesday night, where the “Eight-een-Way Tie Party” met to settle the issue. Thom’s name was misread “Thorn” on his selection slip, and he failed to report at the “party” because he wasn’t sure he “belonged.” But The Times located him by phone Wednesday night and he was pleased to hear fortune smiled his way. The names of the eighteen fans who tied in the mythical team selection event were placed on cards in a box, the box shaken a dozen times and then one of the kid members of the “tie party” agreeable to all present pulled out one card, and Thom’s name 'was thereon. Each of the eighteen fans had three misses in the roster of twelve players. In other words, they placed nine correctly. The following fans were the nearest all-A.

Indian Fighting Spirit Pleases Fans; Team Wins Despite Crippled Condition of BetzePs Mound Staff Boone Appears in Relief Rote Third Day in Row; Wednesday Twin Bill Annexed; Yde Shades Ballou in Long Tilt.

BY EDDIE ASH Battling under the handicap of a crippled pitching staff due to the illness of Ferdie Schupp and a finger injury received by Steve j Swetonic, the bustling Indians rode over the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday, 3 to 2, in eleven innings and 12 to 9, regulation time. A crowd of about 3,000 was thrilled by the fighting spirit displayed by the home pastimers against the burly athletes from the city of wide open places. Emil Yde went the route for the Tribe in the extra inning conflict, allowing only eight hits in eleven stanzas and edging out a win over Ballou, crack Brewer right-hander. Third Day for Boone In the second tilt Danny Boone performed the iron man stunt by relieving Burwell in the third and hanging up his second pitching victory of the week. For three consecutive days Boone was called on to finish struggles and he had plenty of alibi for weakening in the ninth of Wednesday’s nightcap. Nevertheless, Danny finally got the side out when Matthews snared Wingard’s long drive against the right center field fence with runners on second and third. On Monday Boone pitched the ninth against Louisville and retired the side in order. On Tuesday he took up the mound burden against the Brewers in the eighth and held the enemy hitless for two innings, and on Wednesday he relieved Burwell in the third inning with one out and operated until the ninth before he tired and fell victim to a flve-run attack. Relief Pitcher Hits Homer In addition to all that pitching, Danny socked a home run to left center, his drive taking one hop and over the low fence. Owing to lack of pitchers, Manager Betzel was forced to use Burwell with only two days’ rest and Bill’s recent illness left him too weak to hold off the Milwaukee boys. He was bombarded for two home runs and three singles in the third round before Boone took up the burden. Wednesday’s opening tilt was the one the fans enjoyed and it was won in the eleventh when Layne doubled, reached third on an out and scored on Warstler’s squeeze play after Ballou intentionally passed

Holke to get at the Tribe shortstopper. Ballou Dives in Vain Warstler surprised the enemy by bunting and he got a hit on it for Ballou took a header and sprawled on the ground as he made a dive for the roller and missed. * Yde twirled great ball after the third and blanked the Brewers the remaining eight innings. The former Pirate southpaw was in a bad hole in the fifth, but worked out of it by remarkable pitching. Bevo Lebourveau socked a homer in each contest Wednesday and played fine ball In the outfield. He had eight putouts In the first fracas. And he made a catch on Comorosky In the first Inning of the second fray that was a dandy. He snared the ball on the run out near the flag pole, the ball being hit so far two runners scored after the catch. Connolly was on third, Haney on second and Russell on first when Commy connected. To make the play more peculiar Russell was doubled up trying for second after the throwin had gone to the plate. Reb. of course, played the drive “half way” and had to go back and touch up before striving for second. It was a remarkable sprint by Haney to score from second as the two throw-ins were perfect. Herman Layne poled two singles and a home run in the nightcap attraction. The hustling Comorosky turned in some nifty catches. In the first tilt Reb Russell made a running catch of Lebourveau’s drive in the fifth when Milwaukee had men on third and second with two out. The ball was hit deep and Reb leaped for it near the right field fence. Fred Haney starred at bat. in the field and on the base paths, with the exception of one time when he was caught off first. He poled three hits in the opener and two In the finale. The fourth battle of the series takes place this afternoon. Leverett. who pitched Monday, may have to do the Tribe pitching If Schupp and Swetonic are still on the hospital list. The Indians were three games ahead of the A. A. pack today. St. Paul passed Kansas City by beating Columbus twice Wednesday while the Blues were breaking even with the Colonels. Jack Reynolds Wins Bit Times Special COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 26.—Jack Reynolds and Russell Vis, prominent welterweight wrestlers, met here Wednesday night with the former the victor. He won the first fall after two hours and then Vis claimed injury and the match was awarded to Reynolds.
