It may be out of the question to consider the team as having a chance for the pennant this year, but what has been done cannot be undone, and the best must be made out of a season of injuries and disappointments. While the majority of fans soured on the club when it could not get out of the rut, the recent winning streak of nine games, and i -it i i i a 1 still entertains the idea that some day soon he may be champion.

CHAMP GREATLY IMPROVED SAYS JOHNNYRISKO Different Fighter From One He Met In 1925.

Inc. SPECULATOR. X. July 22. Gene Tunney looks wonderful to me.

In the first workout I ever saw the champion engage he went through 10 rounds of drill a full half-hour's work doing two each with the light and heavy bag and three each with Harold Mays and Billy Vidabeck. his sparring partners, in a pouring rain that drenched a few hundred faithful fans who insisted that the curtains be lifted in spite of Tunney's announcement of a private show. Having been Tunney's last opponent in the ring in before he won the title from Dempsey, when I went 12 rounds to a dicision with him I was more surprised to see such a changed man with the gloves. Tunney is a bigger man than he was when I fought him. He is more powerful and has developed a right hand punch with plenty of dynamite behind it that lands with a bang.

Even ith his added build he is still stepping fast getting away from mix-ups with Mays, who is a rugged, slugging, boring-in style fighter that gives the champion the kind of workout he needs in meeting Heeney. In the third round he crossed a right to Mays' face and then tied him up with ease. The ordinary onlooker gets the impression that every time Mays or Vidabeck lands a blow the champion is showing bad form. Yet is was easy to see that Tunney was merely toying with them, holding back his wallops, which if he let loose would shatter them to the floor. Tunney showed real form in getting away from the ropes when May came on him with right and left swings.

From watching him today I would say the champion knows how- to handle himself at all times and shows no weakness against the ropes.

July 22.

tP) Before a thousand drenched spectators Gene Tunney today ignored the rain and went through the second of his three final workouts for the defense of his heavyweight title against Torn Heeney next Thursday night. Ever since last May. when Tunney started extensive training, the chum-pion has been boxing good, bad an 1 indifferent, mostly the latter. He was impressive yesterday and more so today, but the action that the real Tunney lasted about three seconds on his second round wth Harold Mays, the Bayonne heavyweight. Tunney and Mays went through the first round as they have done many times before at a fair speed.

Gene was hitting hard and clean, but was holding back enough steam to encourage Mays uo mix with "lim. The pair rested a minute and started again. Then came the real Tunney. Masking his face with a snarl and gritting his teeth, the champion drew Mays out of position wvth a left feint and then shot three swift right hooks to the sparring partner's jaw. Mays staggered under them, but the 'heavy training gloves had absorbed most of their force.

Tunney then relaxed and continued lnxing in his usual easy fashion through the remainder of the second and third rounds with Mays and three more with Billy Vidabeck. the other member of the sparring stable. Keveals (iene's Flan. This flare-up many thought, revealed Tunney's plan to achieve his reported ambition to knock out Heeney early in their 15-round bout. Jimmy Bronrjon, the champion's chief se md.

described this fistic outburst as the best bit of boxing Tunney has uncorked since the last Dempsey fight. Another who was impressed by the display was Johnny Risko, the (Continued on Page Sixteen) of Energy" Gene Tunney So ers, whose exploits seem to be more fully appreciated in other cities than in the one they -play in. Day after day the Oklahoma youngsters are in there, and day after day they continue their sensational playing stride that has made them the talk of the baseball world. While other players weakened ad were forced out by injuries the two seemingly frail kid3 in comparison to other big, husky fellows remained, taking part to the many rumors circulated, Faul Wanrr last year played no little part i 7 7V. in every one of the 87 games played to date and being the only two regulars not to be taken out of the lineup.

Even when the team floundered around Paul and Lloyd continued their fine work both in the field and at bat, seemingly doing their best in trying to inspire and wake ud the rest out of their lethargic surroundings. It may be that local fans have gotten used to them, but it is a fact that the Waners receive more credit for their efforts in other National League towns. One New York writer, on the Giants' recent stay here, payed them the tribute by saying: "The Waner boys are a team in themselves. Take them out of the lineup and we'll lick the Pirates every day." Another has dubbed them "Big Poison and Little Lysol." Writers all over the circuit are loud in the praise of the two kids, who in the short space of two years have made themselves nationally known by their feats on the diamond. All one has to do is refer to their records for the best proof of this, and it can easily be seen why they are classed among the leading stars of the game.

Their famous act has advertised itself all over the country and their names are being connected with the truly greats. Big Champ Frequently Lies Down, But Far Has Never Failed to Get Up At The Proper Time. Cast Against Will. But, all this was simply a setting into which the rather stolid Heeney was cast, against his will so far as he seemed concerned. He is still only the heavyweight challenger and frankly a worse heavyweight challenger than the one who in the peace and quiet of early last week, looked as though he had a fighting chance to reach the top.

Nothing has yet happened to take that chance away from Heeney so long as he is in the ring. That chance, however, as one retains a lingering memory of even the none too keen Tunney of Saturday afternoon, grows lesser as the days of the approaching event grow shorter. Sort of bewildered by the cosmopolitan throng gazing at him, Heeney looked worse than the last time it was my privilege to look at him. But what he lacked when it seemed stage fright fastened its talons around him in his first three rounds, he may have regained in what happened in private after the farmhouse began to resume its rural normalcy and the crowd began wending its way back to the cities. Uempsey-Heeney Talk.

For, with a door locked and even the scribes barred, Dempsey, who should know more of Tunney than any of us who have been guessing, and the Heeney, who know not as much of the champion as those of us who have seen him, sat down and talked things over. They may have discussed the recent drop In temperature: they may have talked on how it feels to be an ex-champion; they may have talked about when Dempsey was in the relative position of Heeney. Whatever they actually did talk about likely will remain a secret between them. But it is almost unbelievable to think that a Dempsey. who hates Tunney as the ex-cham-pion does, could talk of little else to a fellow soon to fight his listener.

It is to be hoped, after watching. Heeney this day, that Dempsey told him a few of Tunney fighting characteristics. If he didn't one can surmise manslaughter in a refined form next Thursday night. Dempsey couldn't have told Heeney to stay away from Tunney's left jab. because not one of these ever missed, either in Philadelphia or Chicago; he couldn't have said much about Tunney's righ hand smashes because the first one that hit Dempsey on the chin in the fourth round at Philadelphia started the pejidulum of the championship swinging to another direction, and the one which hit Jack in the first round at Chicago almost made positive that the title would stay where it had been a year before.

Ail Dempsey could have told Heeney is that to beat him he must keep fighting him, and this wouldn't have been studded with wisdom because Dempsey did that very thing to the last breath and was a mile behind at the finish. So, although none heard it. the chances are, that being the same style fighter with the current one even lacking the possibility of providing the one thrill of Dempsey. Heeney was no smarter at the conclusion of their tete-a-tete than he would have been had Dempsey stayed in California. When the bell rings for a title fight, or any fi-ht for that matter.

Mickey Walker and a wonderful mixture of men who have risen high in business and. boxing. And there was Jack Dempsey. The ex-champion was the big shot of the day. without a loubt.

He made no attempt to take the center of the stage, nor to deflect the spotlight from Heeney. training for his world's championship fight next Thursday night, but the spotlight followed him automatically. Largest Crowd. Spectators from all up and down Jersey coast, as well as from New-York, pwelled the crowd to the larg est since Heeney has been working out here. In numbers it could have been mistaken for a convention of sole survivors of the Custer massacre.

And they united to give Dempsev a great welcome. Tr-w bad a little talk with Heeney before the challenger donned his ring togs. It was a sort of dramatic momentthe man who failed to "take" Tunnev talking to the fellow who hopes to do it. It is logical to suppose that Jack wouldn't feel all broken up over a Heeney victory. For one thing it would give him a lovely opportunity to try from a comeback against Heeney.

the boy who is easy to hit. and how Jack can capitalize on that sort of a situation Dempsey refused to make any ironclad prediction on the outcome of the scrap, but he unquestionably was impressed by Heeney' a rugged onslaught on Jim Braddock and Jim Lawless. "I think he has better than an even chance of winning." said Jack. "Only a superman can beat him. He can take 'em and he can hit, and a fellow like that always has a chance." Karnest Conference.

But Jack Intimated that his final estimate on the relative merits of the two heavyweights won't be forthcoming until after he visits the Tunney camp Monday. After the workout Dempsey and Heeney were closeted in an earnest conference which lasted some time. There was nothing in the four rounds which Heeney worked against Braddock and Lawless which differed materially from his previous exhibitions. But it is the relentless sameness of his work which is pounding its Impression on the minds of his watchers. He was hit frequently by both his antagonists, with no effect whatever.

He was tied up at times in the clinches, hot ripped his way loose. Ha leaned into his men incessantly and was always set to punch. His blows were generally swung in. but swung from various angles. His left uppercut was not so noticeable as on Saturday, but it seems that he is expecting Tunney will have to lean forward to avoid being pushed all over the ring, and against those ropes which have bothered the champion so acutely in the past.

As soon as Gene assumes this pose Tom has his uppercut ready. Neither of his sparring partners showed any great eagerness to lean forward in range of this punch Saturday or Sunday, and as a rule it whistled upward unimpeded. There is one way which Tunney could lose the coming fight beyond redempts, and that would be to break a hand on the reinforced cranium of his burly opponent. Tunney may be hitting harder now than at any time in his life, or he may not, but it is reasonable to suppose that he will unload on Heeney with considerably more enthusiasm than he did on Dempsey. In the first place Heeney's unwavering rushes will furnish added power to Gene's blows when the challenger is socked coming in.

Webster, First Booster, Doubt's Tom's Chance Against Champ. By DAMON BI'NYOX. Copyr'slit. 13:8. by L'nlversal Service.

NEW YORK. July Tommy Webster, of the London "Daily Mall." the greatest sports cartoonist in all England, has arrived in this country to view the proceedings between Mister Gene Tunney and Thomas Heeney. the rock of down under. Trevor Wignall. otherwise known as "Yank." a famous English sports writer, got in several days ago and is up at Speculator listening in deep astonishment to Mister Tunney's moralizing on the conservation of physical power and one thing and another.

The Messrs. Webster and Wignall seem to be the only English sports authorities to take more than passing notice of the Tunney-Heeney affair, whereas when Jack Dempsey fought M. Georges Carpentier. the cauliflower of France, you would scarcely take a ttep in the vicinity of the training camps without stumbling over an dropped by the visiting brethren. It was almost the same when Jack Dempsey met Senor Luis Ange! Firpo.

but thereafter only a few of tho English sports journalists came over to glare at our pugilistic extravaganzas. However, you would think they would be attracted in shiploads to a spectacle that features a representative of the dear olc British empire, even though he is a Colonial. Apathetic Toward Heeney. Terhaps the lack of interest in England is explained by Tommy Webster's attitude when I came upon him Friday morning steaming in the heat. Tommy's ruddy countenance was aglow with perspiration, and the latest thing in collars that you can always find around Tommy's neck was sadly wilted.

The greatest sports cartoonist in all England seemed strangely disinterested in life. He was in the custody of Mr. Dapper Dan McKetrick, the big oil operator, who was explaining to Tommy that he was just awaiting news from Texas that a gusher had come in on his property. "This is the same gusher you spoke to me about in England when you were over for the Milligan-Walker fight?" asked Tommy. "No." said Mr.

Dapper Dan McKetrick. "this is another gusher. That gusher I told you about over there didn't gush. But never let it be said that 1 haven't always got another gusher on tap." "Oh." said Tommy Webster, mopping his forehead with the latest thing in handkerchiefs. (The Prince of Wales is said to copy Tommy Webster's haberdashery.) Then he turned to me.

remarking: "Hot, eh, what?" "Hot?" I repeated. "Well, now it may be a little warm, but do you know this is the first time in 40 years we've had a hot day in July?" "Yeah," replied Tommy, wearily. "That's what you told me the last time I was over here. No chawnce for Tawm, eh, what No chance for Heeney?" He asked the question perfunctorily, as if he knew the answer in advance. His tone told me why Eugene Corrl and Harry Preston and all the other hot sports of England are not coming for the fight.

Experts Remain Skeptical. "On the contrary." I said, "Hee-ney's got a good chance. He may catch Tunney oft his fighting edge and outplod him in 13 rounds." "You don't say!" said Tommy, brightening up. "My word! Can it be possible? Why, I saw Tawm fight Phil Scott and Tawm didn't strike me as a tophole man. No.

indeed. Phil beat him, did Phil. I wouldn't call Thil a great fighter, yet he beat Tawm rawther easily." "Well, Tom's improved." I suggested. "He's come on. A rough, touch chappy with plenty of Moxie." "I beg pardon interrupted Tommy, looking bewildered.

"Moxie?" "Heart Courage." I explained. "Ah. yes," said Tommy. "Well, I'm surprised. I really am.

I'd like to sea old Tawn win. of course, but I didn't think you were giving him much of a chance over here. They don't in England. Not generally." "If you gentlemen will excuse me I'll step into the telegraph office and see if my gusher has come in," remarked Mr. Dapper Dan "IcKetrick.

"You're sure it's not that same gusher you had when you were in England?" asked Tommy Webster. "No, no. no!" replied Mr. McKetrick. "This is another gusher." Now.

oddly enough, it was this same Tommy Webster whose O. K. wa3 stamped on Thomas Heeney when the rock of down under first reached these parlous shores. It was on the strength of Tommy Webster's O. K.

that Thomas Heeney got more attention from Tommy's journalistic friends over here than Thomas' appearance of record justified. and one of the leading contenders for the crown.

1P28. Gene had to be awakened from a Their terrific hitting power i each of the participants is the lone-somest man In the world. Unless he can retain the million divers idea which have been poured into his flapping ears today and other days, add these to his own natural ability. Heeney seems to have done all his work in vain. The memory of the non-too-good Tunney sort of makes one seem sympathetic for the stout-hearted, likeable rock of the Anzacs.

Today, when he sought to be at his best, Heeney was stabbed with left hands from boxers inferior to Tunney; he was belted with right hand sockers which lacked the snap and sting of Tunney's: he was belabored about the body with left hooks impotent compared with those the sage of Speculator unleashed even on his bad day Saturday. Still Lion Hearted. He was still the lion-hearted, ever moving forward, aggressive physical masterpiece. But to beat Tunney, Heeney must have-something more; something with which he can overcome and counter the sharpshooting of Tunney, which Ithough it may be shy of the bullseye, nevertheless will land often enough to compute a good average. It has been no secret that Heeney is still a sucker to hit.

And he bars no style in his eagerness to absorb them. For that reason, it is hard to figure, unless he was stricken by stage fright by the sight of so many millionaires, so many champions and ex-champions, so many persons alighting from high powered motor cars, that Heeney has even as good a chance as he had last Wednesday. The old shortcoming talked ot a few days, the shortarmedness of this fellow who has a lot of other admirable traits, and purposes, seems be the answer to the attempt of this invader to take to a foreign country the biggest of all fight titles. Sharpsters, watching his every move, became convinced that the alert, quick thinking Tunney will never be caught with the shoving punches of Heeney. a style which it is now and likely has been for a long time, too late to change.

Tunney benevolently talked of "spotting" Heeney the fiist five rounds until he works himself back into the groove of perfection. Today Heeney looked as though, even with those five rounds, he would be ten behind at the finish, providing, or course. Tunney is not so insistent next Thursday as he was last Saturday that he may knock the challenger out. Unless, in that private conference behind locked doors. Dempsey slipped to this physical giant, some of the dynamite which almost blew Tunney off his throne last September.

Heeney will still have to sigh for the days of Fitzsimmons. Darcy, Griffin and others who came from "down under" and crashed to the top. Way Sent Home KRANKI.IN. July 12 f. ho ha etmrtti two aeaaioa lth th Oil-cac Whilewx.

ruitt uutiuyt of .380 and Lloyd's .355 were the first and third best in the league with only the great Hornsby sandwiched in between them. Combined, they scored a total of 246 runs and crashed out 460 hits. This year, the two boys are on their way to equalling, if vot surpassing these high marks. While both are a little behind their pace of last season, they have chalked up 135 runs and 249 hits with Paul leading with 12? binqles and Lloyd with 123, beintp-the only two iioyd waner players on the Corsair outfit to pass the century mark in hits. Besides this both are playing brilliantly in the field, iurning in scintillating plays every day.

SPECULATOR, Gene. Tunney has not officially made up his mind whether to go to the fight next Thursday night by aeroplane cr canoe. A great many bloodthirsty grandstand fish are also wondering how they are going to get to the fight, but. their problem has not caused as much concern in the day's news as that of the word-juggling champion. Mr.

Gimbel. Mr. Bush and several other prominent and wealthy camp visitors started from here in an aeroplane for the scene of battle, but changed their minds in midair. In fact they alighted on top of the nearest tree and proceeded at once to the most convenient tailoring establishment to have their pants mended. They went the rest of the way in kiddie cars.

Gene, in spite of this uiitoward example, is Mill considering the proposition of having Bernt Balchen escort him to the ringside on the back of a firefly or in a toy balloon. A big firework3 concern is trying to persuade the champion to go by sky-rocket. But Mister Orin Xobles, the artist companion of the asthetic pugilist, is holding out for the trip by canoe. Orin has had plenty of practice in ferrying Gene across the lake, and it is only a matter of wrapping up a few sandwiches and filling the thermos bottle to stretch the trip to the Yankee Stadium via the Harlem river. If he finds that his legs feel cramped from traveling such a great distance in a reclining position he can finish the trip from the entrance of the stadium to the ring on a bicycle.

Lies Down, But iets Up. Tunney has proven the theory of the conservation of energy. When he is not occupied with the actual business of training he is either lying down, sitting down, sleeping, reclining or resting in some position akin to horizontal. Every moment of rest, he contends, stores up energy for the time when energy is needed. The proof of Gene's theory is that, unlike a great many of his cauliflower brothers, he can get up when he chooses.

A half hour before the fight with Dempsey in Philadelphia, July 22. The remark many times has been made that the brothers are lucky. This especially has been referred to often of Lloyd, who repeatedly through his great speed has turned infield taps into hits. When the latter hung up the remarkable average of 355 last year, broke a modern record in singles, came near equaling an old one, and was the first known major league player to make 200 hits in his first season, many said: "Wait till next year. The pitchers will be wise to him, the infielders will know how to play for him and his luck on the bases won't last forever." But the season is more than half over, the pitchers have failed to find any apparent weakness in his batting, the fielders continue to be in the wrong spot when he hits them, and his luck, if it may be called such, has not failed as yet.

So there must be something more to it than carrying around a four -leaf clover. sound slumber by the panic-stricken Billy Gibson and Jimmy Bronson. In the middle of the fight with Dempsey in Chicago, Gene had to be awakened from an informal snooze by the referee slowly counting ten. But the fact remains that he got up on both occasions and displayed a remarkable burst of energy. On his tombstone will be written the inscription.

"He liked the hay buf he always heard the alarm clock." Apropos of nothing in particular I just happened to recall an Incident that happened the other day. As the now-famous plane. carrying its precious load of visitors to the Tunney camp, crashed on the local golf course, a crabby golfer whose game is the only thing in his life, yelled "Fore I am now about to leave the Tunney social circle for the green pastures of the Heeney domain and 1 try to settle upon the one thing that made the greatest impression upon me during my visit.

Why he has never been advised to bunt oftener is not known. A hit on the infield grass, whether it is called lucky or not, is a hit anyway, and as such, goes into the records..
