| Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., March 2. It would seem that the goldtusked* Paollno pretty definitely exploded the theory that George Godfrey, the main-mountain of Phila-

“black menace.”

delphia, was anew Reports from the coast indicate the glazed Goliath won one of those thin, red whiskers that leave much to doubt. The by - round l detail shows that L he hopped on his F motorcycle the first time he was punched and that it took plenty of persuasion to induce him to get off in time to make a closing rally.

The outcome of the fight was no surprise to your friend Mr. Tunney, who is here acquiring among other things a fashionable tan. He never has held Godfrey in high esteem, nor Paolino either, for that matter, and his prediction that the result would have no bearing on what is left of the heavyweight situation was borne out by the final returns. “Godfrey can’t fight unless you bring tlie fight to him,” said Tunney, “and even then he can’t fight. For one thing he has too much heft to tote around and because of this is too slow. I saw him fight Chuck Wiggins on the coast two years ago and I thought Wiggins whipped him.” tt o a MR. TUNNEY then pointed significantly to the region of his ticker, or heart, as the boys call it, and added, “He's a little bit shy too, I think.” It should be kaentioned that Mr. Tunney’s reJEgarks were made before the God;l^- Paolino fight. Any one, even expert, could have made remarks after the fight. out pretty much that i ias b een talk that the winner, that it happened to be the Basque, might be chosen to meet Mr. Tunney in SeptemteI doubt that this possibility was* 1 tv Tex' by the <*ampionj or Tex Rickard.

He hadn’t seen the morning papers following the didn’t know who won until <he finished playing an after noon round of golf. j' Mr. Tunney, by the way, is still hi s bov friend empsej, is through. “I've tafnown tor several months Qfiin-t he wouldn t fight me he said, and now I am hcgjjmning to bebody ” 1C * Sn t to fight any- , a Jm a I g ° 11 is nothing to keep I Al/ Dempsey from fighting if he ► wants to.

Tom Heeney Gets Verdict Over Delaney Colorful French-Canadian Scrapper Upset in 15Round Bout. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK. March 2.—Jack Delaney today was completely eliminated as a possible opponent for Gene Tunney at Yankee Stadium June 14. On the verge of getting the first chance at the heavyweight title this summer, the colorful French-Canadian stumbled over Tom Heeney in another disappointing heavyweight elimination bout last night at Maidson Square Garden and today was back at the foot of a sorry group o' heavyweight contenders. After fifteen rounds of tugging and clinching and pushing, Heeney was awarded the decision. Heeney won by only the slimmest of margins, but it was enough to remove Delaney as a serious threat for heavyweight honors. As for the courageous Irishman, he may upset all calculations and by the stint of his hard work and relentless attack, force himself into a title bout with Tunney. Picked to crumble before Jack Sharkey and Jack Delaney, Rickard's two leading heavyweight contenders, Heeney lies upset all of Tex's plans. His showing against Delaney was more than a shock to most of the 18.009 persons who expected the debonair Delaney to batter down Hecney’s defense, and if not win by a knoegkout, win decisively. Instead, Heeney’s short dub-like rights and lefts to the body and heart upset Jack's plans. Delaney’s dangerous right harm was useless to him and he landed less than half a dozen clean punches with it. Heeney kept his head hunched in his shoulders and his left arm constantly on guard for Jack’s lightning right. It was a perfect defense, and robbed Delaney of his most valuable offensive weapon. Delaney threw all of his power into his left jab-, hooks, uppercuts and swings, but they did not phase the rugged Irishman. Heeney fails to become enthused over a shot for the title. “I'd like a chance at the champ. jjist. to see what I could do.”
