Lacking the tremendous appeal of the two Tunney-Dempsey bouts, the heavyweight championship match of 1928 may fall short of a million dollar gate, but it promises to provide as much drama as either of the two previous title bouts. Both men should be on their feet at the end of 15 rounds of hard fighting, with the margin of victory so close as to leave doubt in the minds of many as to the real winner. A 3 to 1 favorite in most betting circles, Tunney is really no better than a 7 to 5 shot to retain the title. He should win with room to spare, but the champion has no intentions of entering the ring merely to win the decision.

Nothing less than a knockout victory will satisfy the champion. Tom Heeney has never been knocked out and there is nothing on which to base the opinion that he will crumble before the fists of Gene Tunney. ft seems unreasonable to suppose that a man who has fought only twice in thirty months is capable of stopping a man who has fought nine times in the last twelve months, withstanding the battering of Paolino, Risko, Delaney and Sharkey during that period. If Tunney carries through his plan to knockout Heeney he is apt to find himself so arm- weary after ten rounds of hammering on the hard rock from down under that Heeney will stand a splendid chance of winning the fight in the last five rounds. In training Tunney looked every inch the champion, but too often a boxer has mistaken gymnasium form for ring form.

For a few rounds, Tunney may stagger and stun the challenger, but the champion may grow weak-hearted when he finds that the squat, barrel-chested Gisborne gorilla man does not collapse under his punches. Tunney is pinning his hope for a knockout on his right fist. The champion believes that the most devastating blow in boxing is a straight right to the heart, and he will attempt to prove his theory tonight. DUTCH BAUMAN 500 MILE DRIVER Sunday, at the local speedway, races will be held which will be worth traveling far to see. The drivers and cars are the best that have ever been brought to the local tracks.

There will be two preliminary races of five miles each and a big event of fifty miles. Louis Schneider, Indianapolis race driver who has seen experience on the Indianapolis 500- mile Speedway, for the Fourth of July races and pronounced the Rusiiville track the -best mile dirt track in Ind- i Schneider ran away with everything here in his Armacost Special, but this time he will have more competition as other Indianapolis Speedway have entered their machines. Such well known racers as! Dutch Bauman, Wilbur Shaw and Benny Benefield will bring their cars here to compete for the grand purse. Not a single accident marred the racOs of July 4th but the thrill of seeing the roaring cars pass each other and come down the stretch gave plenty of compensation. A new track record was set by Schneider in the Independence Day races and this will probably be broken in the races Sunday as competition will be much keener.

The races are scheduled to start promptly at 2 The oiled track and lack of dust and dirt makes the local Speedway one of the best from the standpoint of the spectator as well as the driver.
