Heeney’s Quest
Sir James Parr Wishes Him Success Tom Heeney, the man, is thought a great deal of by his countrymen—right, too. He has played his part, winning or losing, with the air of a thorough sportsman. Before leaving Southampton for New Y'ork, he called on the High Commissioner for New Zealand, Sir Jarr.es Parr, who wished him success in the name of New Zealand, declaring that the eyes of all New Zealand were on him, and that he was confident that he would uphold the country’s reputation. Sir James Farrand the boxer were photographed shaking hands on the roof of the New Zealand building in the Strand, London. Tunney is to have only one fight this year—that with Heeney. Next year he will have another. They are getting this championship business down to a fine point. What if Tom, of New Zealand, happens to win?
