THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN. FRIDAY, MARCH 2. 1928 HEENEY GETS DECISION IN MAULING FIFTEEN ROUND GO Tff OUTCLUBS RAPIER ROUND BY ROUND DETAIL OF FIGHT PITTSTON ADDS PROVIDENCE TO ITS WIN ROSTER CONGER WILL APPEAR IN 800 RACE INSTEAD OF LONGER DISTANCE ANZAC POUNDS OUT A VICTORY OVER DELANEY Boston Runner Advised to Train For Shorter Run as Better Fitted to His Speed And Endurance Hahn Expects to Lower Half Mile Record Tomorrow. NEW YORK, March 1 (A.P.). Ray Conger, 23 year old Iowa running star, will train for the Olympic 800 meter race instead of the 1500, if he listens to the advice of Liwson Robertson, head coach of the Amerl can team this year.

Advised to Shift Outboxed, Outsmarted and Out Speeded By His Rival, the New Zealander Keeps Charging in, Punishing Canadian About the Body With Persistent Attack Given Decision Because of His Aggressiveness CHANGE MADE IN S.L.B. G. GAME By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York, March 1. The heavyweight ambitions of Jack Delaney crumbled once again tonight, this time before the bull like attack of the iron jawed battler from New Zealand Tom Heeney.

but he was outlasted, outslugged and a badly battered warrior through the last four rounds. This was the decisive turn of the fight and Heeney's stamina was the deciding factor. Tom burrowed his head in Delaney's shoulder time after time as they clashed, pumping both hands to the body. Once 1 Jfe. fin I Conger was advised to shift to the shorter race as a result of his defeat last night in the "mile of the century" by Lloyd Hahn, who also conquered the German star, Dr, Otto Peltzer.

"Conger's speed and endurance are better suited to the 800," Robertson declared. "He has the speed but not the ruggedness to compete with Hahn. Nurmi, Wide or others at 1500 meters or the mile. "Of course Conger will meet plenty of opposition in the Olympic 800 meters, including the present champion, Douglas Lowe, of England, and the record holder, Dr. Peltzer, But I think his chances of success will be better at that dis tance." Conger told the Associated Press before the "mile of the century'' that his ambition was to train for the Olympic 1500 but he may now be influenced to change his mind.

Experts to Lower Record Hahn attributed his failure to break the world's indoor record in last night's race to slowness of the Madison Square Garden track as well as to the fact that he was not pushed either by Conger of Peltzer in the last quarter mile. Hahn ran the mile in 4:13, one second clower than the record, but expressed the belief that the track was at least two seconds slower than the old garden surface on which Joie Ray and Paavo Nurmi each turned in 4:12 three years ago. The Boston A. A. star is confident he will beat the twenty four year half mile record here this Saturday, however, when he appears in a special race on the Intercollegiate A.

A. A. A. championshin program. Dr.

Peltzer, who wilted at the close of the race, fulfilled his own prediction that he was not in condition for an indoor race at that distance.

Day Wrong Business College and Key stone Academy Play Tomor row Instead of Tonight Basketbair quintets of the Scram ton Lackawanna Business Collcgt and Keystone Academy will cladj tomorrow night on the FactoryvllM lads' floor, instead of tonight, It announced yesterday. The changwl from tonight was made necessary duo to a request of the Keystone cage leaders. Bot' teams will undoubtedly takd advsri.ge of the extra day of rest to smooth out all rough edges la their team work. Coach Leslie's boys are determine! to avenge their previous defeat at the hands of the Commercials lads, and will trot out every regular in an effort to stem the sensational winning streak of their opponents.

Three times during the past two seasons have Keystone's colors been lowered in defeat against the strong onslaught of Coach Gearhart' cagers, and the Academy dribblers are backing on tonight's game to restore some of their lost prestige. Followers of the Business College team are confident that their warriors will make it four straight over Keystone, pointing to the fact that the present team is much stronger than the quintet which trotted out against ie academy players ealier this season and subsequently turned in a victory. Keystone's nerformancrs against the frosh ouintets of Syracuse Uni versitv and Dickinson Collece entitles them to be an eye rating with the Sjrnnton school to win tonight's verdict. Both defeated the Carlisle yearling, while the Commercials record against Syracuse was not as impresrive as that of the Fartoryville school.

How to Start the Crowd of 18,000 Before a crowd of more than 18.000 that paid $175,000 to see the first of the heavyweight elimination semi finals. Heeney carried off the decision over the erstwhile French Canadian sharpshooter in fifteen mauling, bruising rounds. It was not a one sided victory for the blocky, square jawed boxer from the Antipodes, but it was decisive, nevertheless, and gained as the result of a determined ral'y in the last rounds.

Heeney More Aggressive In a struggle that was fast if not spectacular, punctuated by bruising clinches, Heeney emerged the victor because he was the aggressor all the way. Chunky Tom seldom gave Handsome Jack a chance to cet set for a knockout swing. Out boxed out smarted and out speeded by his rival, Heeney nevertheless kept charging in. punishing Delaney severely about the body with an attack that was as persistent as it was damaging. Delaney, conceding nearly 20 pounds to his far more rugged rival, stood up gallantly under Tom's steady pummelling.

The sharpshooter's main weapon was a left hcok to the jaw. he used this repeatedly with jarring effect, but it Fcicom made more than a fleeting impression on the grey and rocklike countenance of the Anzac. The margin, nevertheless, between Delaney's sharpshooting and Heeney's constant plugging was so close at thefinish that there was a wide divergence of opinion, not only among ringside experts but among the spectators. The verdict, of the two judces and Referee Jack Denn ina: in Heeney's favor was greeted with ming'fd booes and cheers by the colorful crowd that jammed the arena. Tern rushed out of his corner in the first round with a bull like charge that had Delaney back pedalling and side stepning like a ballet dancer and at the finish the stookv Irishman was still chasing his foe with a two fisted drive.

It was monotonous the way Tom kept plugging, discouraging to Delaney the way his rueged foe kept boring in after absorbing the i punches. Delaney Hooks to Head Delaney, dancing and feinting most of the time when they weren't locked in clinches, kept hooking his left to the head. The so called deadly right of the rapier wasn't in evidence, except on a few occasions. Maneuver as he tried. Delaney seldom could get Heeney into a position for a full shot at Tom's chin or shake off the latter's flailing arms.

As early as the third. Delaney swung his left with everything behind it he could muster. Twice he connected flush with Heeney's Jaw, but Tom, like a terrier, shook the blows off and charged back in. As if discouraged, Delaney went back into a defensive she'l, bringing all his ring craft, speed and boxing ability to bear Heeney kept plugging, plugging, digging his left to the ribs, then swinging his right to the head. Once again, in the tenth Delaney let his once famous "haymaker" go.

Again it was a left hook to the head. For a few seconds Heeney's knees sageed. The Anzac looked a bit shaken, but he was still forcing the fight at the bell. Delaney ruminated Delaney. in spite of his big handi cap in weight lought couraseously OUR BOARDING or twice ne siraigmeneci up au sent Delaney back to the ropes with swings that started from the hips.

But Jack was too shifty to be caught off guard. He was out hit three to one, but dodged or took as many blows on his gloves as he actually absorbed. As a battle to determine an outstanding contender for Gene Tun nev's crowd, it was far from convincing. It marked the elimination of Jack Delaney. such as he was put out of the picture a year ago by Jim Maloney in the same ring, but so far as Heeney.

was concerned, the bout chiefly served to strengthen his record for bu ldog grit and aggressiveness. Two Knockouts An extra bout between two unheralded light heavyweights turned out to be a sensational slam bang affair. It ended in a Knockout victory for Joe Chimola. 173, of New Jersev. over George Connolly, 179.

of New Haven, after both had been punched groggy. Connolly hit the floor four times in the first round, once from the force of his own missed swing. He rallied and had Chimola staggeri at the bell but took the count of ten in the second round for exhaustion as much as from additional punching. The semi final, billed for eight rounds, also was short lived when Pierre Charles. Belgian heavyweight knocked out Jack of St.

Paul, in two minutes and seconds of the first round. Charles nailed McCann with a right smash to the jaw In the first few seconds and the St. Paul battler, dazed, visited the floor for a count of three. McCann was down five times altogether, for varying counts, under a fusillade of blows, before the one sided fray ended. Jack was draped around the at the finish and had to be hauled to corner.

Charlps weighed 207 1 2 and McCann 191 1 2. Charles was seconded by Jack Dempsey's trainer. Gus Wilson, while the ex champion's 1927 manager. Leo P. Flynn, by a coincidence was in McCann's corner.

Brady Won On Knockout In two opening four rounders, Jo? Barlow. 170. of Boston, scored a technical knockout over Olaf Her set. 167 1 2. of Norway, in of the third romd.

after which Rosie Boutot 219. of New York handed the same medicine to Pedro Lopez, 2C1 1 2. of Wheeling. W. in 2:52 of the second round.

Jackie Brady, of Sayracuse. was awarded a techincal knockout over Sammy Vogel. pfter six rounds of an eigh'; round match had elapsej. Vogel, his left eye badly cut from a head on collision in the fifth, was forbidden to continue after an examination by the Boxing Commission's physician at the ringside. Up to this accident the milling was fairly close.

Both weighed 140. HAVE TWO BILLY EVANS' The Cleveland Indians have two Billy Evans' now. One is the former umpire, who is general manager, and the other is a rookie pitcher from Georgia HOUSE 3" pip Voil ROUND ONE Delaney sent a hook into Heeney's body.

He tore and slashed at Delaney's body but Jack nearly upset him with two crackling left hooks to the rhin. Tom never batted an evplash.

flailing right back at the brown body of the tall and imperious dancing master. Thev danced in the center of the ring for a few seconds and again Delanv lashed a nretty left hook to the chin. The Anzar stormed In with the blow and they slushed like a pair of lonsrshere 1 nen. Heeney smashed Delaney's ribs with a solid risrht and clipped his left to the chin twice before the bell. ROUND THREE Delaney began LU Ills iitavy Liiujiitf, did a little better until Heeney's short right chugged solidly to his chin.

Delanev cracked two lelt hooks on the' Anzac's granite chin but. Tom just bowed his head ana drove Delaney into a corner with a lipping head attack. Tom was relentless, a plunging, swinging fury as Delaney tired and backed into a new hold, and flashed both hands I to Keeneys clun. Delaney lost nis mouth piece as the round ended and had to chase around the ring during the minute of rest to get it back ROUND FOUR Heeney whipped i 1 i sona ngnt to jhcks i but took the short clubs of loth hands as he fell into a clinch.

ROUND SIX The d'irable Hee rev was fresh and unmarked as he b' rhed Delanev's smashing left ana Msiht aside and pounded into close r'unrtnrs. Delanev adopted a new fv'e of attack, whipping his left hook to Tom's head, and then drop pir.p into a ugm nuifii. uu a half dozen times before Tom drove him into a corner awd dug deep right into Jack oocty. ue Irnev was spearing Heeney neatly with' a left and crossing a solid left effectively at the hell.

ROUND SEVEN Delaney came out to box his man and clinched when the going became too ruiged. Not once in the first period of the right had Delanev landed his crushing right full on Heeney's chin. Tom would not bos. and shook Delanev with a left and rinht to the lipnd as he ninned him on the rones. Delanev fought his way clear, left hooks and short clubbing rights beating a steadv staccato on the invader's bodv.

Jack infuriated his man with three stinging left hooks to the ear. Homey piled into him like an angry grizzly, but Delaney danced away and was sparring at "rOUND EIGHT For the first time.
