The wound sent blood cascading down over Hecney's body, but the New ealander told Referee Purdy not to stop the fight, that he was all right. After the cut had been sewed up, | Heeney left the hospital. Heency, upon whose body Gene Tunney wrote his farewell to pugil-| |ism last year, was a badly whipped man when the Norwegian puncher got through his ten rounds of work. Von Porat took seven rounds, lost {two and held Heeney even in the |other. To the surprise of most of | the 6,000 spectators he not only out- slugged the New Zealander but out- boxed him most of the time. The referee and two judges returned a | unanimous verdict in favor of Von | Porat. Heeney looked opening two roune point on the Norwegian did the hurt- ing. He used his left as a guarding rapicr and shot right upper cuts to vary the monotony. Despite the power of the Von Porat purches, Heeney kept coming in. By the sixth round Von Porat was pile-driving rights to the body, |but was unable however to get full | strength into them because Heeney ontinually was crowding in close. In the later rounds Heeney wa backing away, and at the final bell | hia was badly marked and weak from the heavy pounding as well as from | the loss of blood resulting from the gash in his lower lip. Von Porat finished virtually un- marked. It was his most satisfying showing since he began in a small wa to become covetous of the world's heavyweight crown, His im- provement as a boxer was the point his handlers regarded as most signi- ficant. His ability to punch has been heretofore his main reliance. The fight was worth §17,500 to Heeney and approximately $12,000 to Von Porat, the former Olympic games champion, TAKE THINGS EASY Athletics Rewarded With a Not Too the best in the ace, Little Rock, | Strenuous Workout After Winning Two Games, March 13 (®r— warded by a not too nuous practice today, partly beeause of their two-time de- feat of the Cincinnati Reds and partly because of a long serics of xhibition games that begins tomor- row with the Phillies as the opposi- tion Lefty Grove and Jack Quinn were Connie Mark’s pitching selections to £0 against the Reds yesterday.

Eager and anxious to get going again in playoff for championship of | the American Roller Hockey league, the New Britain quintet is in great }shnpe for the fourth game of the | series which will take place tomor- row night at the Stanley Arena on Church street. This will be an op. | portunity for the local crew to tie | Albany in the count of games won and the locals are out to do that |very thing. Albany won the first and second games played, both of them by mar- gins of one point. The first contest |ended in an 11 to 10 victory for the |New York Staters while in the sec- ond contest played in Albany, Steve | Pierce scored a winning goal in an ;on\rllmu period. | The local tcam is in excellent shape for a real battle and the plays ers have planned to play the invade ing team in the same manner as last Monday night. Then the New Britain |team’s defense tightened and Albany | was unable to penetrate it as in the first two games. | Albany is also anxious to gct the | series over. It means nothing to the players whether the series finishes in [five or in nine games and the soon- ler they get through the playoff, the ooner will they be able to get to their respective homes. The New York team will have its regular lineup of Steve and Earl Pierce at the rushes, Lundeville at center, Morrison at halfback and | Barnikow in the goal. New Britain will trot out its pair of brothers, “Kid” and “Red” Wile liams as rushers, Thompson at cene ter, Gazzinga at halfback and Welch in the go | The game tomorrow night start promptly at 9 o'clock | Williams Leads Scorers | Arthur (Kid) Williams, first rush on the N Britain team, led the entire league in the number of goals scored according to the final compile ation of figures issued by the presi- {dent of the circuit. Steve Pierce of Albany was second high scorer with Duggan of Providence third and Davies of Waterbury fourth. This is the third scason in cession in which the local star has | been the leading goal getter in th league. He had a total of 197 goals to 176 for Pierce. At one time, | Picrce was behind him only three | goals but the local ace started a spurt and finished well ahead of the | field. | Blount of Waterhury topped the i goal tenders while 1iddie Barnikow was second. Pete Welch of this city was third. | Duggan again took the rush hon- ors with “Kid” Williams second. The statistics follow: Goals Scored A. Williams, New Britain, 137; 8.
