Action Resumed Thursday in Tex s ‘Tourney Heeney Meeting Delaney

Weekly Ring Scraps Here on Tuesday Hackley Ends Training for Muzzy; Use Five Bouts at Armory. Jimmy Hackley, coast veteran who has been boxing out of Indianapolis for some time, topped off his training today with a light workout in preparation for his clash in the Legion main go of ten rounds at the Armory Tuesday night. Hackley faces George Muzzy, of Milwaukee this time and Muzzy’s boosters say he will give Jimmy a great fight. The boys battle in the junior lightweight and lightweight classes. Hackley gained fame recently by putting up a spectacular bout with Young Manuel, the Tampa Cuban, who is being groomed to mingle with the title contenders. The judges’ decision at Miami went against Hackley, but the newspapers there rated the scrap a draw. Hackley is wanted back there for a go with Jimmy Watts, star southern lightweight. The usual five scraps will be staged at the Armory tomorrow night, the first action at 8:15. As usual, Matchmaker Clark has endeavored to group a collection of willing mixers on the bill.

Jack and Tom Scheduled to Battle Over Long Route. TUNNEY BOUT IS GOAL Canadian Has Punch; Invader Has Staying Power. BV FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Progress toward solution of the heavyweight problem will be made with blows instead of words next Thursday night. Jack Delaney and Tom Heeney meet in a scheduled fifteenround bout at Madison Square Garden. When it is over, we should know a little more about the probable identity of Gene Tunney's next opponent. One of these two may be named to fight the champion in June. Delaney Has Punch Delaney has the better chance, if he can explode the dynamite he carries in his right hand upon the chin of the Antipodean. If Heeney wins—and barring an accident he only can do so by wearing down the clever but none too rugged Delaney—it means that Tom must give either Sharkey or Risko a return match before Tex Rickard would feel justified in naming the New Zealander as challenger for the championship. Heeney fought a disappointing draw with Sharkey and outpointed Risko by no very wide margin. Opinion Varies Expert opinion varies as to the outcome of Thursday night's fight. There are some who maintain the New Zealander is too strong for Delaney. They declare Jack never has beaten a really good heavyweight, which is true, and that Heeney will wear him down. Delaney’s adherents believe he is too clever for Heeney, a notoriously slow thinker. They hope that Jack will find an opening for that deadly uppercut early in the fight. Delaney lost to Risko and Jimmy Maloney. Heeney beat both men. Heeney did better against Paolino than Delaney did. He is rugged and has great staying power. It may be that Gene Tunney is right. Four months ago. when asked whom he considered the best of a bad lot of heavyweight contenders, the champion replied: “Heeney.”

gained his record over the half-mile course at Hatfield, Pa. The Squires Bros, of Hartford, Conn., have added the trotter, Guy Worthy, 2:07?i, and the pacer, Temple Chan (4) 2:08' 1 1 to their stable. The pair was purchased in Ohio for a reported price of $6,500.

Objects to Newspaper’s Share in Tourney

Editor of The Times: The Lincoln day sweepstakes are a thing of the past, but a lew of the bowlers are wiser and promoters arc wealthier. They took for their end of the work S2OO. It seems as though when a thing ol this kind is held, the alleys should run it. In tills particular case the Illinois alleys had the Indianapolis News run their sweepstakes. Now if these alley men are not Intelligent enough to run a tournament ol this kind, what are they being paid for? If these newspaper men were brought in because they could give the tournament a little more publicity, it surely was highpriced advertising. When the tournament ended nine prizes we r e awarded in the doubles and singles. No statement was posted as to the disbursement of funds. Why not? Because the huge profit taken in by the Indianapolis News would have been exposed. Yours very truly. W. E. MATHEWS. Figure Skating Champ. Bn T nit til Press BERLIN. Germany. Feb. 27.—The World’s figure skating championship was won by Hans Boeckey. of Vienna, who defeated the American, Niles, and the Canadian, Eastwood, to win he title.
