Tom Heeney, challanger for the worlds heavyweight champlon- ship, began light training at the St. Nicholas gymnasium today. Weighing 211 pounds, plans to gradually work Heeney down to 195 or 196 at which weight he ex- pects to meet Gene Tunney in a 15 round bout at Yankce stadium probably July 26. Heeney is undecided about train- ing outdoo and may not estab- lish auarters at Atlantic City announced. neve as trained Meeney said, “and 1 that Tl start now.

Leviathan today with his European manager, John Mortimer, and wit. nessed the Jack Sharkey-Jack De- |laney bout last night. It was Hee- neys draw with Sharkey and his victory over Delaney which gained 'him the chance at Tunney's title. | The New Zealander frankly ad- mits that he has no special plan of battle mapped out for Tunney. “I haven't bothered to give it a thought,” he sald. “I'l get to that gtart to train in earnest. Its just another fight for me. I'm not worryving about the thing. I'll let Tunney do all the worrying. T know Tunney’s got a good straight left and a right cross, but 1 don't think they'll bother me.

Snarling, bitter, tigerish in his ferocity, Sharkey leaped into his { wobbly foe, felling him with a loop- (ing right to the head. Then as De- |laney writhed on the canvas, pulled himself to his knees, and swayed |finally to his feet, Sharkey waited, {right hand poised. | Full on the chin, with power suf- ificient to fell an ox, the rampaging sailor lifted a right upper cut into Delaney's twisted features as the trembling French-Canadian, eyes in his chest, | closed, head buricd | stumbled forward. | No fighter could have risen |that final blow. ! Down | | from into the resin dust blood rickling from his mouth and ear, Delaney toppled liko a tall, statues- que tree of his northern forests, cut off at the base.

Sharkey snarled, tears of pure ‘ferocity and pent-up feeling rolling /down his checks. As 15,000 roared their acclaim of him after almost a 'year of boos and hissee, Sharkey turned his face de- fiantly to the match with wetness still on his face. | Delaney never struck a blow in his own defense. Vainly, after an intial, tutile stab with & loft as the round opened, the statuesque woodsman retreated blindly, arms about his head and body, vainly try- {ing to ward off the shock of | Sharkey's deadly attack.

In the crowd about the arena were |Paron Huenefeld, Hermann Koehl {and Major Fitzmaurice, transatlantic | flvers, viewing a spectacle of this 'Kind for the first time. And in the | crush of the delirious rcception given | Sharkey as the bout ended, they were | forgotten, just as the fighters them- selves, entering just after the fliers had been introduced from the ring, were to the roaring crowd only two mediocre heavyweights, who, time [and time again had fafled to justify publis confidence in their fighting ability. The blast of the old Sharkey, who crushed Harry Wills, George God- {frex and Jimmy Maloney to win ac- claim as a great youngster but only to fade before Dempsey's mauling tists and the blows of every fighter since, came too late to boost him '_I‘he Da;ys of Real Sport | Tommy Ar ata field day of it by puiting six out | | of « nen i i d finish- | | Walter Hagen in England.
