LONDON, April 25. Tom Heeney has sailed for America to go into training at Atlantic City. He says : “I feel more like a school boy going bn holiday than facing the stiffest fight of my career. I do not care a wrap for Tunney’s reputation; I am just going to do my utmost for myself and the Empire.” Mortimer, his manager, says:* — Heeney’s great pluck will keep him on his feet, whatever. Tunney does. Heeney has more determination and strength than any British heavyweight I have seen. He has a wonderful chance of winning.”
