He will face Jack Ma- loney, the Boston he he knocked out in the first round of a fight 18 months ago. Maloney has blazed a successful come-back since then and he was confident today that he would dia- pose of the New Zealander in short order. He was in perfect condition {and his attitude contrasted sharply with the guarded pessimism which !came from the Heeney camp.
