Reed. 9 a.m. VANCOUVER, Wed. Before sailing for New Zealand by the Aorangi, with his wife and his brothers, Tom Heeney said he was sure he would fight again. “I don’t know whom I will fight. I leave that to my managers. I will get in Tex Rickard’s elimination contest. “I may be back in December or sooner. It depends how I like it in New Zealand. If it gets boring, I may come back in a month or two or three or four. “I won’t fight there. The purses are not large enough. I will be glad to
get home for a while, but I won’t stay. When I do settle down, I think it will be in tbe United States. My wife lives there, and we have lots of friends in New York.” “GEE,” SAYS GENE A London mesasg esays that when Gene Tunney arrived in England yesterday he received a tumultuous reception, which prompted the exclamation, “Gee, I never thought I would have reached this stage of importance.” He went in a taxi to the Savoy Hotel, where he engaged the gorgeous royal suite.
