The local team showed that-lt was burned out" and it's jadcd style of play cost it the game, although the winning team also seemed to be suffering from the same ailnent. It was the third game of the week for the New Britain quintet, and the players lacked life and the machine had no fire.
 The first quarter was even, but by fthe end of the half East Haven was in front by .o-lt. In the second per lod Moroy found his eye, but Eeiggor hroho away from May for five bas- hets and, single handed. kept his team the same nine points ill front of the locals.

tbopyrlGht 1S.s py Cnited pfeeo)
 Paris, April 2-"An have to say is that Tunney'll know he's been in a fight" rumbled Tom Heeney with characteristic, good natured modesty. when discovered by the United Press correspondent In a Paris restaurant.
 The New Zealander. who has been named as tho heavyweight champions next opponent. came here a few days ago with his Britt ish manager. Bernard Mortimer The latter was with him today, and with characteristic volubility sup- ported the promises which the quiet. self-effacing Heeney de- clined to make.
 "Why. my man will knock Tun. ney's block off," crowed Mortimer. The boasting did not seem pala. table to the big heavyweight, who tried to further efface himself while Trenchmen and foreigners at neighboring tables stared curiousiy.
 Here's the way to look at N." continued Mortimer. Everyone knows what Tom can do. He's had nine fights recently and won them all. What has Tunney ever done? He's only got one good fight to his name.
 "When Tunney and Jack Demp. soy crawled through the ropes at Philadelphia they were betting 10 to l against Gene, but look what ha did to Mir. Dempsey. When Tom enters the ring in July. the odds certainly will favor Tunney. but the boxing fans are due for another upset. That's certain"
 ''How do you feel about being chosen ahead of all the other con- tenders?" the correspondent asked Heeney. who was squirmins un- comfortably as the little English. man rattled on with considerable disregard for facts.
 Why. I'd fight the whole list Of American heavyweiEhta over again if had to get a fight with Tun. ney." replied Tom.
 Mortimer broke In to volunteer the opinion that the bout will be held in the United States.
 After studying the situation over here and In England" he continued. I'm convinced that New York, Chicago or Philadelphia must be counted upon to pay the big price necessary to obtain the fight.
 Even with Paris. Berlin and other European capitals to draw from. London hardly could do it. These British syndicates, you know, are not offering purse. They merely are bidding for tho right 10 stage the battle on a percentage basis"
 The Heeney-Tunney fight will draw q &2.ooo.0oo gate" Mortimer believes. None of the British syn dicates could guarantee one-half that sum.
 What brought you 10 Pnris?" the correspondent asked the silent Heeney.
 "Oh. said Tom. with . grin. " came over to buy some silk shirts"
