HELP FOR HEENEY
THREE BROTHERS ARRIVE WILL BREAK TUNNEY’S HEART [ Australian Press Assn. ] VANCOUVER, Juno 22. If Heeney is crowned heavy-weight king he will mount the throne over the broken heart of Tunney. That is the opinion given by the New Zealanders, Tom Heeney’s three brothers Jack, Arthur and Pat, w 7 ho arrived here by the Aorangi on Thursday. Newspaper men had to comb the town before discovering the trio hidden away in the home of Jack MeQuarrie, a local sportsman. Jack Heeney said that he had never expected Tom to get w’here he is. He always thought the other fellow would be too good for him.
“He’s a heart-breaker. I haven’t any opinions as to whether he’ll win.” said Jack. “If he does it will be because he breaks Tunney’s heart. They keep hitting him and hitting round after round and about the end of the fight drape themselves around his neck. That’s how he’s won all his fights.” The three brothers have left for New York to assist in the training.
