"He is a better fighter than the public believes; he has shown plenty of boxing brains," said Jimmy Hennessey, who has a feeling that his protege, Tom Heeney, will defeat Tunney—perhaps knock him out. "I never saw a boxer so quick to solve ari opponent's style. If Tunney hits him with his left hand, it will be in the first two or three rounds. Ajft*** that, Heeney will be wis© to Mr.' Tilnney.

He has been trained to keep on top of his man and to go right back at him after the clinches. Tunney won't be able to step into Heeney often, as h« will be busy keeping away from Tom's charges."
