LONDON, MaToh 23. “I am just, home for a rest,’’ said Tom Heeney on his arrival at Southampton. ‘‘ I am only asking for my due when I claim a fight with Tunney for tlie world’s championship, and I understand he.is willing and thinks lam the logical contestant. If I am fit and well I shall give a good account of myself. Some say I have no chance, but they said the same before I beat Delaney, Risko, Paolini and Maloney.” Heeney is returning to America in a few week’s time with proposals for the championship fight to take place in London. In this connection Phil Scott’s manager is protesting that .Scott twice beat Heeney and cannot be brushed aside in favour of the New Zealander.
