NEW YORK, October Tom Hee-

score victory. Tom had to score a
knockout in the first round over Jim
Maloney of Boston at the Madison
Square Garden Friday night to make
certain he would not be outguessed
by the judges and referee, as was the
case in his two fights with Poalino.
There was nothing much to the
fight. Maloney tried to lead, Heeney
stepped in close and let fly with two

The amazing downfall of Jim Ma
loney has the boys guessing. Less

laney. He seemed headed right for
the top of the heap. A meeting with
Jack Sharkey and Jim's sun was in
eclipse. A quick knockout at the
hands of big George Godfrey did not
mean that Maloney could not come
back. Heeney showed him further into
the discard from whence there is no
returning.
