THE BIG FIGHT
PLENTY OF BOXING BRAINS. NEW YORK, July 20. “ He’s a bctiicr fighter than the public believes, and ho has shown plenty of boxing brains,” said Jijnmy Hennessy, who has a feeling that his protege, Heeney, will defeat Tunncy, and perhaps knock him out. “ I never saw a boxer so quick to solvo his opponent’s style. If Tunney hits him with the left hand it will bo in the first two or three rounds. After that Heeney will bo wise to Mr Tunney. Hooney is no sucker at getting away from punches. Ho isn’t Hit nearly as often as you think, and he is a tough puncher to face for fifteen rounds. Ho has been trained to keep on top of bis man, and goes right back at him after clinches. Tunney won’t be able to step into Heeney often, as he will bo busy keeping away from Tom’s charges.”—United Service.
