VANCOUVER-, June 22,
“If Heeney is crowned the heavyweight king, he will mount the throne over the broken heart of Tunnev,” is the opinion given by the New Zealander’s three brothers, Jack, Arthur and Pat, who arrived here by the Aorangi on Thursday. Newspapermen had to comb the town before discovering the trio hidden away in the home of Jack McQuarrie, a. local sportsman. Jack Heeney said he never expected Tom to get where lie is. He always thought the other fellow would he too good for him.
“He’s a heart breaker,” ho added. “I Haven’t any opinion as to whether he’ll win. If he does, it will he because he breaks Tunnev’s heart. They keep hitting him and hitting round after round, and about the end of the fight drape themselves round his neck. That how lie’s won all his fights.” The three brothers left for New York to assist in the training.
