HUNTING OF LIONS
TOM HEENEY’S OPINION. r \ EASY TO “PICK OFF.” (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, March 31. (Received April 1, at 10 p.m.) The New York World, in a leader entitled, “Mr Heeney and Lions,” discusses Heeney’s assertion that all that the modern Ilcfc hunter needs to do is to “pick off Hons,” which “just stand there and wait for you to shoot them. I might just as well shoot tabby cats' in the rear of Sbubert Theatre, for all the kick I get out of it.” The Leader continues: “We feel it our duty to point out that Mr Heeney’s idea of excitement is little different from the ordinary man’s. . Any man who had the courage to climb into the ring with Tunney ought not to mind a lion very much. If you are going to give us the choice of facing Tunney without a rifle or a Hon with a rifle you are going to see a dead cat every time.”
