i New York. Jan. 11.-lt seems that this here Jimmy Maloney, of the swell South Boston Maloneys, l hasn't a speck of use for furriners. Ask Franz Deiner. the German. Arthur De Kuh, the Italian.
 And Harry Person, the Swede. These are the three furriners l Jimmy Malonoy, of the swell South Boston Maloneys has bounced around in recent weeks to re-estab- fish himself as one of the standout heavyweight youngsters of the ring
 Deiner, De kuh and Porsson all had pretcnsions to heavyweight greatness, and Mr. Tex Rickard. a promoter who is trying to get a had pinned plenty of faith in the illustrious immigrants.
 Particularly in Persson. MT. Rickard thought this baby was the goobers, and he had visions of ballyhooing him into another Luis Firpo as turnstyle magnet. But not any more.
 Maloncy, fighting an impressive fight, out-sockcl the Swcdc in ten rounds out of ten. Had he fought with less impetuosity he would have knocked him out. As it was the Swede was helpless at the final bell.
 There is still another further on Maloncy's list of tentative opponents the honorable Paolino of Spain, known more picturesqueiy as the Basque Woodchopper. If Paolino and Maloney are matched and the south Bostonian wins he will have completely eliminated the foreign menace among the heavywcights.
 Maybe you have forgotten who Maloney is A couple of years ago he was looked on as better pros pect than Jack Sharkey, the other young Boston heavyweight. who knocked out Harry Wills. In fact, Maloney seemed to have so much promise at the time that Jack Kearps. an old acquaintance of Mr. Dempsey, tried to steal him.
 The circumstances, as l remember them. were that KCarns went to Boston and offered Maloney $20, 1000 to use in buying his own release from Johnny McGrath. a cigar store man, who had discovered and de- Vcloped him. A match between Maloney and Dempsey was to be promoted. After the ballyhoo had centcred attention on Maloney Dempsey was to retire formally and proclaim Kearns' newest protcge as his successor.
 Either Maloney figured Kearns was using stage money or his loyalty was greater than that of most fighters 10 their managers. At any rate the scheme did not ma tcrializc.
 Kearns' interest in Malonoy dated back to a time when Dempsey was transforming through inc west. meeting the local chumps. This was shortly after he had won the title from Jess Willard at Toledo. Maloney, who had run away from home and joined the army was in Kansas City when the Dempsey en- tourage arrived.
 A three-round bout was arranged. Maloney was then only r years of age. Dempsey tlattcnrd him wit that old-time murderous left hook at the start of the first round, but Maloney managed to grt up before the count of nine. He survived the round. He was in there at the end of the second and he was still in there when the third closed.
 Kearns never forgot that. Ma lonoy hasn't either.
 If Dempsey couldn't put me away when he was great l don't thinl; any of the fellows who are posing as great now can do it." he says.
 Malonoy has been out Of the ring for about a year because of dis agreement with McGrath, his old manager. He is now in new hands and is fighting we'll enough 10 be ranked right along with tho fore most contendcrs for Gene Tunncy's $ title.
