TUNNEY, BEWARE!
With a generosity that is characteiistic, the Gisborne sheep farmers have forwarded to Tom Heeney a lamb in cold storage. Perhaps they have ail idea that Poverty Bay’s Tom is in need of a little extra nourishment and that a diet of lamb’s fry. an occasional chop, a roast or a bit of the neck will assist him to be at bis best when his pending, clash with Gene Tunney takes place. Again, it may be merely a gesture to call to mind that a fist as large as a leo of mutton is a very handy tiling in a "prize fight. But for the fact that Marquis of Queensliery rules will be enforced, a leg of lamb would be very useful to get an opponent to recline for the necessary ten seconds.
