NEW YORK, Aug. 9.The
turning point in my match
with Tom Heeney came In the
seventh round, when a sharp
right hook opened up a cut
over the challenger's left eye
and, temporarily, paralyzed
the optic nerve.

IN IL irritating him, shook his
shaggy head and stepped back.
unable 10 think clearly, the pain
was SO great.
Toms actions frightened me to
the very core NY first thought.
as saw him blink and rub his
eye without being able to control
the lid, was:
I've blinded him.
Through my mind flashed story
1 heard not long ago from the lips
of AL Delnaot. an old time fighter,
telling how one man was blinded In
the ring by just such q punch. Il
seemed that then the blow landed
just as mine had sQuarely on the
eyeball and the side Of the eye.
This story / heard related how
the fighters eye had panied at the
time and his opponent, seeing the
trouble he was in, smashed both
hands again and again to the dam
aged optic. The boxer reeled around
the ring, took the punishment until
the bell rang and then went to his
corner.
In between rounds this fighter
asked his seconds to open ais eye,
which he thought was closed tight,

pOnent again. The seconds stared
at him in amazement.
Why. your eye Is wide open.

but his sight was gone forever.
Eye specialists told him that il
he had quit when that first punch
landed, his sight probably could
have been saved. The succession Of
blows that followed damaged the
optic nerve beyond repair. There
was nothing that could be done for
him.
