J. V. ,..df 4 Tunney Knocks Out Heeney In The Eleventh Bound Yankee Stadium, New York, July 26.?Blinded and staggering, his face a bloouy smear, Tom Heeney, the hard rock from down under, collaps ed and fell a victim of the technical ki.ockou; in the 11th round of his world's heavyweight championship tattle with Gene Tunney . | horn and bread In New 'York, and defending his title at home for the first time, cut the sturdy, cour . ageoug New Zealander to pieces, sub jecting him to one of the worst beat ings a challenger ever received. MJtm See Battle Upward oj 50,000 spectators saw Heeney wade into unbroken slaugh ter through round after round as Tun ney. toe master boxer, lashed his face with left hooks and pounded his heart with vicious solid rights. Heeney came charging in like a hull, but the elusive Tunney, cool and collected, evaded his wild rights to the jaw and stabbed him with lefts ' to the face until the thud of the I gloves against Heeney's cut and ) bruised face almost became mo. jnotoaous. The Associated Press score card [showed- Tunney winning at least nine out of the 11 rounds, with Heeny win ning the first and dividing honors with the title holder in the second. Heeney's major offense was the first round. After that he was a badly pounded target who, although boring in with tireless energy, could never escape Tunneys masterful attack. Tnfc crowd, estimated in excess of 50.004 with gate receipts approximat ing $750,000, was the smallest to wit* ues a world's heavyweight champion, ifhip battle since the fiasco at Shelby, five years ago when Jack Dempsey ruined the banks of the boom town by defeating Tommy Gibbons. / Mrs. Kate Perry Patton Dead She was born in 1902 and married to Willie Patton March 20th. 1917.
