MADE OF WROUGHT IRON, SAYS MANAGER
HEENEY’S CHANCES BRIGHT,
Per Press Association. GISBOENE, June 7. In a letter to Tom Hceney’s parents, his manager, Mr. Bernard Mortimer, says that Tom has never been hurt in any of his fights and that Tunney will not hurt him as he is “made of wrough, iron,” The want of real success in England is explained by a minor internal complaint which was remedied before going to America. Whether ho wins or loses tho championship bout, Hceney will return to New Zealand.
Mr. Mortimer says that England's send off to Tom was the greatest ever accorded an athlete and adds: "Tom knows that ho has behind him tho whole support and sympathy of the British Empire.” The letter concludes with an expression of confidence in Tom winning the title.
