HackIey Ends Training for
Muzzy; Use Five Bouts
at ArmOry.

Jimmy Hackley, coast veteran
who has been boxing out of Indian
apolis for some time, topped off his
training today with light work.
out in preparation for his clash in
the Legion main go of ten rounds
at the Armory Tuesday night.
Hackley faces George Muzzy, of
Milwaukee this time and Muzzy's
boosters say he will give Jimmy a
great fight. The boys battle in the
junior lightweight and lightweight
classes.
Hackley gained fame recently by
putting up spectacular bout with
Young Manuel, the Tampa Cuban,
who is being groomed to mingle
with the title contenders. The
judges decision at Miami went
against Hackley, but the news
papers there rated the scrap a
draw.
Hackley is wanted back there

southern lightweight.
The usual five scraps will be
staged at the Armory tomorrow
night, the first action at 8:15. AS

Jack and Tom Scheduled to
Battle Over Long
Route.
TUNNEY BOUT is GOAL
Canadian Has Punch; In
vader Has Staying Power.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Progress
toward solution of the heavyweight
problem will be made with blows
instead of words next Thursday
night. Jack Delaney and Tom
Heeney meet in a scheduled fifteen
round bout at Madison Square
Garden.
When it is over, we should know
a little more about the probable
identity of Gene Tunney's next OPP
ponent. One of these two may be
named to fight the champion in
June.
Delaney Has Punch
Delaney has the better chance, If
he can explode the dynamite he
carries in his right hand upon the
chin of the Antipodean.
If Heeney wins-and barring an
accident he only can do so by wear
ing down the clever but none too
rugged Delaney-it means that Tom
must give either Sharkey or Risko
a return match before Tex Rickard
would feel justified in naming the
New Zealander as challenger for
the championship.
Heeney fought a disappointing
draw with Sharkey and outpointed
Risko by no very wide margin.
Opinion Varies
Expert opinion varies as to the
outcome of Thursday nights fight.
There are some who maintain the
New zealander is too strong for
Delaney. They declare Jack never
has beaten a really good heavy
weight, which is true, and that
Heeney will wear him down.
Delaney'S adherents believe he is
too clever for Heeney, VIGOROUSLY
slow thinker They hope that Jack
will find an opening for that deadly
uppercut early in the fight.
Delaney lost to Risko and Jimmy
Maloney. Heeney beat both men.
Heeney did better against Paolino
than Delaney did He is rugged
and has great staying power.
1t may be that Gene Tunney is
right. -Four months ago, when
asked whom he considered the best
of a bad lot of heavyweight CON-
tenders, the champion replied:
"Heeney."

They took for their end OF the work

In this particular case the Illinois alleys

sweepstakes.
Now II these alley men are not intelli-
gent enough to run tournament OF this
kind. what are they being paid for2
If these newspaper men we're brought in
because they could give the tournament a
little more publicity. 1t surely was high
priced advertising.
When the tournament ended nine prizes
were awarded in the doubles and singles.
No statement was posted as to the dis
bursement OF funds. Why not2 Because
the huge profit taken in by the Indian
apolis News would have been exposed.

TheDecision of
E.C.C. I. on the
Hamburg Case

mann at the head, both before and
after the Essen Party Congress, con-
Quoted correct political and organ
national line, as has been proved
by the May elections. This line en-
ables the G. P. of Germany to extend
and deepen it's influence in the mass
organizations of the proletariat and
among the working class of the
greatest industrial centers of Ger
many. The Presidium is convinced
that the G. G. of the G. P. of Ger
many will continue also in the future
to carry through this correct Lenin-
list line.
The Presidium expresses it's full
political confidence in Comrade
Thaelmann and resolves that he is
obliged also in the future to fulfil
all the functions in the Party and
in the E. C. c. I. entrusted to him
by the Essen Party Congress of the
c. P. of Germany and by the vi
World Congress of the Comintern.
The campaign for preparing the
approaching Party Congress of the
G. P. of Germany must be accom-
panied in all districts by an uninter-
rupted theological fight against the
Right tendencies within the c. P. of
Germany and against the concilia-
tory tendencies towards the Right
danger in order to guarantee the
best execution of the line of the vi
World Congress at the Party Con-
gress and by the new C. C. 1t is
matter of course that the G. G.
will conduct on the basis of inner
Party democracy a free discussion
of all the questions on the agenda
of the next Party Congress and of
the decisions of the VI World Con-
gress of the C. I. in all organizations
of the Party.
The Presidium of the E. C. G. I.
considers it of the utmost impor-
lance that the G. P. of Germany at
the present moment concentrate all
its forces upon successful carrying
through of the campaign against the
construction of the armored cruiser
and for the exposure of the armored
cruiser socialists in the eyes of the
working class. The Presidium of
the E. c. c. l., therefore, appeals to-
all members of the C.. P. of Ger
many to close their ranks, to work
with redoubled energy at the sue
cessful carrying through of the ar
mored cruiser campaign and to in
crease and extend the preparedness
of the Party to mobilize the working
masses for the defensive struggle
for their vital interests against the
offensive of capital.
