STONLACROS THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1928 SE TEAMHERE T OMORROW-JU NIORS PLAY TONIGHT Tunney 's Terrific Battering Stops Heeney in Eleventh * Game New Zealand Challenger Tries Hard But is Out "classed By Smarter Tunney -- Bell Saves Anzac at End of 10th--Referee Stops Mill in 11th as Heeney _ Stands Helpless New York, July 26--Blinded and Yasgering, his face a bloody smear, om. Heeney, the "Hard Rock from Down Under," collapsed and fell a victim to a technical knockout in the eleventh round of his world's heavy- t championship battle with Gene Tunney tonight. Tunney, born and bred in New * York, and defending his title at home for the first time, cut the sturdy, courageous New Zealander to pieces, subjecting him to one of the worst beatings a challenger ever received. Heeney Beaten Upward of 50,000 spectators saw Heeney wade in to unbroken slaugh- ter through round after round as Tunney, the master boxer, lashed his face 'with left hooks and pounded his heart with vicious solid rights. Hecney came charging in like a bull, but the elusive Tunney, cool and collected, evaded his wild rights to -thejaw and stabbed him with lefts to the face until the thud of the gloves against Heency's cut and bruised face almost became monotonous, The Associated Press score card showed Tunney winning at least nine of the eleven rounds, with Heeney winning the first and dividing honors with the titleholder in the second. Heeney's major offensive was in the first. round, After that he was a badly pounded target who, although bering in with tireless energy, could never escape Tunney's masteriul attack, Heeney after the seventh round still. kept his feet to plunge stub- bornly into the champions {lailing punches. The challenger's leit eye, hurt in the seventh round, left him hali-blinded throughout the rest of the bout. After reeling through ter- rifi¢_punishment in the eighth and ninth sessions, Heeney collapsed ua- der the champion's bitter attack just as the tenth round closed, 'Tom roll- ed on his back almost out of the ring, and had to be carried to his cortier. Although he survived some- what for the eleventh, Tunney slam- med him viciously, and the referce called it. About 50,000 spectators wit- nested the battle, The crowd, estimated in excess of 50,000, with gate receipts approxi- mately $750,000, was the smallest to witness a world's heavyweight cham- pionship battle since the fiasco of Shelby, five years ago, when Jack Dempsey ruined the banks of that boom town by defeating Tom Gib- bons. : If the estimated 'gate receipts are correct, Promoter Tex Rickard and his '800 millionaires suffercd a loss in the meighborhood of $250,000. Tun- ney was guaranteed the rich purse of $525,000, with $100,000 going to eeney. Heeney. ale in advance, lacked the colorful appeal associated with the Tunney-Dempsey battles in Philadel- hia and Chicago, each in turn with its record shattering gate and atten- dange,. Rickard had figured on a gate of at least $1,500,000 tonight. He needed more than $750,000 to show a profit, e battle was a struggle between a boxer who has proved himself per- fection in his art and a strong, dur- able fighter whose chief asset is his natural strength. Tunney, a master of defensive boxing, allowed Heeney to set the early pace, and then, af- ter slowing him up with savage blows under his heart, proceeded to batter him into a state of collapse. It took no expert, after the savage- ly contested tenth round, to tell that Heeney, the plodder, had met his master, and his finish was coming. As this round ended Heency was lying flat on his back, his body rolled to edge of the ring, completely NEW MARTI THURS., FRI, SAT. "The Count : of Ten" COMEDY and Last Episode of "THE HAUNTED ISLAND" knocked out. His seconds rushed into the ring as the bell clanggd and the fallen New Zealand gladiator was dragged to his corner, where restoratives were applied. His seconds worked frantically over him, shaking his head to sweep the cobwebs out of his brain and apply- ing the smelling salts to his bleed- ing nose. Heeney, with marvelous recupera- tive power, came charging out of his corner as the eleventh round opened, only to fall an easy victim to another barrage of well-timed punches that knocked him groggy and reeling. As he stood there, with his back to the ropes, his arms hanging heav- ily at his sides, a certain victim to a finishing knockout blow, Eddie Forbes, the referee, humanly waved Tunney to his corner. Heeney had had his chance and lost, but only a "game," uphill battle. 3 Tunney entered the ring facing a weight disadvantage of eleven and a half pounds, but overshadowed his opponent in height and reach, Tun- ney scaled 192 pounds when 'they weighed in at 2 o'clock this afternoon with Heeney scaling 203%, the heav- jest. he has weighed for any of his U.S. battles. It also was the heav- iest Tunney has been since he won the title from Jack Dempsey, two years ago. Ovation for Dempsey Jack Dempsey, the old Manassa Mauler, himself twice defeated by the man who conquered Heeney tonight, was in a front row press seat, When Dempsey, faultlessly attired in a light green suit, climbed into the ring to be introduced before the bout started, he received one of the great- est tributes accorded a ring hero. The ovation exceeded the cheers and applause given Tunney, and are still echoing through the canyons of the immense ball park. BY ROUNDS Round "one--Grimly determined, Tunney whipped a solid right to Heeney's jaw. The challenger duck- ed and swarmed into Gene with short left and right hooks to the chin that drove the champion to the ropes. They exchanged lefts and rights to the head. Gene rip- ped a solid right to Heeney's head but it never moved the challenger. Round Two--Tunney, astonished at Heeney's offensive, started box- ing the challenger, He shot his left to Heeney's head hut could not keep the Anzac away. Tunney blasted left and right into the sturdy Heeney, hut could 'not make an impression. Gene swap- ped with his challenger and they exchanged left and rights, toe to7y toe, ' When Gene's left hook dropped low Heeney mentioned it, Gene smiled and asked forgiveness, A second later they were crashing each other about the ring, Round three--Absolutely awed by power in Gene's newly found right, Heeney plodded into a right and handed an exchange with the title holder. They exchanged short lefts and rights, and vicious hooks that stung. Tunney slipped as Heeney swept a right hook to his head and nearly fell, but came hack to firmer footing. Round four--The crowd bhel- lowed at Heeney's determined on- slaught. Tunney hounced two rights off Tom's flinty chin and shot, the challenger"s head back with a stinging left hook, Gaining the upper hand decisively for the first time in the fight, Gene threw a right into Heeney's head with 'every ounce of his weight and strength, This time, Tommy's eye- lid actually fluttered and Tunney pressed the advantage with two crushing rights to the heart. Sens- ing the turn, Heeney tore savagely into the champion and nailed him to the ropes with a rocking volley to the head.» Round five--Tunney smashed his right under Heeney's heart but the Anzac seemed to like it and hounced in close to slug at the champion's body. Gene drilled a left and right into Tom's rugged head and blood dribhled from the- challenger's nose, Gene prodded Heeney with jolts to the head and hody as Tom sturdily ploughed into whatever punishment came his way. Tom slipped as Gene hooked him into a clinch but was up without a count, Round six--Tunney's masterly defense 'had Heeney quite muddled now as Tom plodded in only to find his clouts caught on the champion's arms and his body bat- tered by Gene's thuddi~: right. The champion stepped in with a bullet-lil:» left hook to the body and bounced his right again off Heeney's corrugated features. Round seven--Taking a breather Tunney was content to maul with Heeney, killing the effectiveness of Tom's left hook by carrying his high against his cheek. As Tun- ney danced about, spearing Tom with his left, the Anzac missea frequently, his short arms going by Tunney's head. Tom caught the champion again near the ropes, Tunney's vital spot, and slashed a left and right to Gene's head. Gene wobbled a bit and tore out of the precarious position so fast that he landed in the centre of the ring before Tom could get away from the ropes, Gene was boxing his man easily, spearing him with his left deftly. : Round eight--Freshened by half a bucket of water, poured ovsr i-doggedly to batter Tunney came out to hold the challenger helpless. Heeney's left eye flooded and nearly closed. Tom shook his head in desperation as he could hardly see from that eye. He closed it of his own ac cord and tore into Tunney with one good eye. Quick to see his ad- vantage Gene held the challenger a moment. He looked over his di- fticulty, then he pumped lefts and rights to Tom's head and body. Tom wobbled under the blows but blood spurted from his nose as he lashed forward in one desperate effort. Tunney met his courage- ous attack, Tunney jolted Heen- ey steadily, despite his courageous onslaught, right up to the bell, Round Nine--Hardly able to see from his left eye, despite the min- istrations, Heeney gallantly piled into the champion. It seemed the difficulty was that blood from the fight had gotten onto Tunney's gloves and into challenger's eye, Tunney, a sportsman himself, stood and slugged with the challenger, but Tom got the worst of that, too, as Tunney's knifing lefts drummed on the Anzac's head, blood began to ooze from Heen- ey"s battered left eye. A gory sight and becoming gorier, Heen- ey again summoned his strength for another surge and ripped his right and left to the champion's head. Round ten--Heeney's eye look- ed almost normal as he came out! the unmarre® champion. Gene grabbed Tom as the Anzac lunged forward and sank a left and right in the body. The snap seemed to have disap- peared from Heeney's punches and Tunney apparently had little desire to cut up the challenger further. Gene grabbed Heeney as the An- zac plunged in close and showered him with left hooks to the head and hody. Tom reeled under full left and right hand clouts to the head. Plodding forward now by instinct Heeney ran Into a barrage and went down under a right to the head. As Heeney rolled ar- most unconscious from the rihg the bell rang and ended the ses- sion, Heeney was out flat on his back and had to be carried to his corner. His seconds had him re- covered for the next round. Round eleven --- Recovered, Heeney came out with a left that missed and Tunney measured for a levelling blow. Recuperating amazingly, Tom again plunged into the champion, smashed with a right to the head and received a right that sent him reeling again. His back to the ropes, Tom staggered forward and Gene, half kidding, stabbed him easily with a left, Gene flayed Tom ahout the head and Tom reeled under the punish- ment. The challenger was helpless and Referee Ed. Forbes stepped he- tween to halt the fray as Heenep collapsed. Tunney knockout, won by a Learn to Swim By Aileen Riggin (Olympic Diving Champi technical -- SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S Weston will be here tomorrow, their second appearance of the season, and the fans who remember the 8-0 defeat General Motors handed them on that occasion should not let that canter prevent them from attending Saturday's struggle. The famous "Toad" Farr, who caused so much grief in the Humber River town at the first of the season when he announced his retire- ment, reconsidered the decision and is now one of the mainstays of the team. Only last week Torontos were blanked by the Mann Cup final "ists 3-0. Pat Shannon will most likely be in the Oshawa nets again following his sensational play against St. Simons last Saturday. The brilliant rally Oshawa staged in the third quarter of that hectic fray will remain in the memory of the Toronto fans for years to come, Oshawa is tied with St. Catharines for third place, the last play- off position, and if the Anglicans from Toronto play as well as they . did against G.M.C. that should be quite sufficient to knock off the Garden City satellites tomorrow, The Juniors perform at Alexandra Park tonight against North Toronto and the game should attract a large crowd. The locals are leading the Junior O.A.L.A. race, having defeated Torontos, the present champions, 6-4 in the best-played game of the season in Toronto a week ago. In coming out on top of the blue-shirts, the Oshawa players accomplished something real. Torontos are coached by Fred Wag- horne, Junior, and have been playing together for years, formerly being under the name of Irish-Canadians until that organization went defunct, It was only the second time the Toronto team had been defeated in three seasons. The heavyweight fight last night was rather a fiasco. Heeney is just another pug from "over 'ome" with little talent and much courage. Tunney is a real champion even if he does mix Shakespeare with his hooks. The Detroit Times says that Dempsey will attempt a comeback in the very near future. The popular ex-crown holder received an ovation when he stepped into the ring to second Heeney, If simply making an appearance will net a few grand the Manassa Mauler will hardly pass it up, Buck Wilson, who used to be a smart first baseman for Oshawa a few years ago, made his debut as an umpire in the game at Belle- ville on Wednesday. The scheduled arbiter from Oshawa failed to make an appearance and Buck was elected, After the big boy had donned the armor for plate duty Walt Gerow objected and Wilson worked on the bases. The Belleville management said "Not that we doubt your honesty or anything, Buck, but you know how it is" Gerow was right, the heat of battle might have found Buck trying to retire the opposition himself, Still umpire Colling would have looked well in a Belleville uniform when Harry Mills came in with the second run of the eighth inning. Kellar's throw looked to have the National first. baseman by a good six inches. Colling hesitated on the play. Chev ladies play in Whitby tonight and not at the local Collegiate grounds as reported in this column yesterday. The two pace-setters in the female loop are two of the best drawing cards in local sporting circles, The Pontiac-Chev tussle in the Motors Major league is the big softball attraction for Oshawa tonight. Sutton and Rogers are on edge for the argumem, Fittings Ltd. of the City Industrial league will play Kew Bcach softball team of the Beaches league of Toronto at Lakeview Park to- morrow afternoon and evening, The first game will be at 3.00 o'clock and the second at 7.00 p.m. "Newsy" Lalonde, who starred for the Oshawa Junior lacrosse team of 1907 has been appointed manager of a Montreal lacrosse team that will perform in the newly-organized professional loop in Quebec, with the possibility of some Ontario teams, "Newsy" has had a colorful ,.career and stood the pro hockey racket longer than the experts thought possible, The swimming articles which are appearing daily on this page are written by the greatest girl diving expert in the history of the sport, Aileen Riggin won the Olympic diving crown at Antwerp in 1920 when she was just fourteen years old, Miss Riggin has won the National diving championship six different times and has been a member of the National relay championship team for as many times, In 1925 before she turned professional Miss Riggin won the most coveted champion- ship on this continent--the national all-round swimming, diving and racing championship. If you remember Gertrude Ederle's tour on the stage you will recall that Afleen is a bid for Zeigfeld's best-known show, in 1920) Lesson Six LEG TECHNIQUE We have now discussed confi- dence, proper breathing, arm movements and body pusition; leg technique is the nex' to learn, The most - desirable leg move- ment is the so-called six heat crawl--which megns six kicks or beats of the feet t) every double revolution of the arms. This stroke has heen found most effec- tive for speed swimmers and 1 think it the best or beginners, ins asmuch as you will try for speed yourself some day. venturing into. the water, The legs should ne Leld straight with the toes muc!) in the position of a toe dancer. Then move the legs up and down, alternately, some- thing after the manner of a pair of scissors. The legs require a more rapid .motion than the arms. Be sure that yon do not bend the knee; to ln sn woudl ruin the stroke, On the oth. er hand, rigidity must be avoided, This stroke, sometimes called the scissors kick, is very simple when properly executed, and will give the best results to hoth the novice and the more advanced pupil. In addition it is the least tiring of all motiong and gives the easiest and most rapid propulsion, Practise this movement thor- oughly while lying on a couch, or while holding on to the side of the pool. In time it will come as naturally as walking. Later, practice it while, floating face downward in the water, TOMORROW -- Resume of the Crawl, - ------ SENATORS SPLIT St. Louis, July 26.--Washington came back to win the second game of a double-header from the St. Louis Browns, 6 to 4, after drop- ping the first by 7 to 5, and in- creasing their losses to St. Louis to seven straight. Sam Grey pitched the Browns to their third straight win in the present series in the first game, and won his fifteenth victory in twenty-two starts. Garand Braxton was batted from the mound in the fifth in- ning of the opener and an eighth ilis head, and a pew Bair . comb, inning assault on Marberry enabled the Browns to win, ' You can practise this year before |.

Beavers 2 2 3 4 5 5 Bedore's Single Defeats Bisons Timely Rap in the Eighth With Sheedy: on 2nd Gives Leafs 2-1 Victory Toronto, July 27--Fred Bedore, valuable young infielder, knocked a little bit of strategy by Derby Day Bill Clymer topsy-turvy in the eighth inning of the opening game of the series between Toronto and Buffalo, yesterday, and gave tne Leafs a 2 to 1 victory. With two out and Sheedy on sec- ond, through his corking double to left field, Clymer ordered Arthur Mills, former Boston Brave, to walk Dale Alexander, He did. But Bedore, with the count two strikes and one ball, lined a sin- gle over short, and Sheedy raced home with the run that broke a one-one deadlock, and gave Johnny Prudhomme his twelfth win of the season. What did it matter if Erwin Sexton, next Leaf to bat, did go out on strikes, The Shreveport farmer went in- to the box in the ninth and set Fisher, Barrett and Moore down in order, pitching but six balls to ac- complish the feat. A spectacular catch by Clayton Sheedy, while on the dead run toward the left field foul line, took at least a double from Al Moore, hard-hitting Bison outfielder, and hrought the game to a satisfactory ending. Prudhomme pitched brilliantly right through the nine chukkers and deserved a shutout, and would have put it over but for a throw past. Alexander by Billy Webb, af- ter the Leafs' captain hal made a swell pick-up on Jimmy Cooney's smack in. the fourth, That wild toss enabled Arch- deacon to score from second with the tying run, after he had reacned first by beating out a bunt to Alex- ander and had pilfered the half way hag. Cooney travelled on to second through the error and made third on Barrett's hoist to Sheedy, but Prudhomme put on the brakes and Moore sent a left to Sexton for the third out. The Toronto right-hander had everything, speed, baffling curves and wonderful control. He walked Archdeacon twice, and that was tne, extent of his wildness, He was on top of almost every batsman, anu in five of the nine innings had to pitch to but three men, Only one Bison reached third, before or after the fourth, Thomas making the last leg fronr home in the fifth on his single, a sacrifice and an infield out. Trouble threat. ened in the eighth, when Barnes led off with a hit to right, but a fast relay, Webhh to Bedore to Alex- ander, completed a double play. Ar- chie walked and Cooney was toss- ed out by Prudhomme. Thirty-two . Bisons faced Prud- homme, and he allowed the small total of four hits, all singles, and they were spread over as many in- nings. His control showed a vast improvement over his previous ef- fort in the box at the Stadium, when he yielded eight charities, HUBBELL, EX.LEAF "LOSES FIRST START New York, July 26. -- Burleigh Grimes, traded by the Giants to the Pirates last winter, won his fourth game of the season from New York today, 7 to 5, but had a hard time holding a seven-rua lead, given him in the second in- ning. The home team came back with five in its own half of the second, confining all the scoring to one inning, unique in a game where 12 runs are made, McGraw started young Carl Hubbell, fresh from Beaumont of the Texas League. The kid south- paw was hit hard and supported weakly in the second when three 'New York errors accounted for all but two of the Pirates' runs, | Juvenile Jabs It can be done and was done-- the Eagles defeated Leafs for their first win over the latter in two years. The Leafs think they were rob- bed! They claim that the ball "Ling" Leydon hit on the third base line was fair. There wer2 two on bases at the time and the: game was slowly slipping from the [ e:%¢ grasp. Bates and Corrin provided the feature act in the 9th inning when Corrin went back for a short fly which just struck his fingers and bouced right into Bates' hands for the freak catch of the night. The Beavers and U.A.C. play te- night at the Lake and a good game of ball will be dished up.
