COMMENCING TO-MORROW At the Grand and I’laaa Theatres to-morrow, the fight between Heency GNow Zealand heavy-weight champion) and Delaney (formerly light heavyweight champion of the world), which was filmed at the ringside, will be screened. In this fight lleeuoy advanced a further stage in his path towards the world’s heavy-weight title, which lie disputed with Tunney so recently, and New Zealanders will have the opportumU of seeing their own champion fighting a winning battle against a boxer who is acknowledged to be one of the best in the world. Many of ihc rounds wore full of action, but midway through the bout liconey’-s ruggedness and superior weight started to tell. Ho fought harder than ever, and pounded Delaney’s body with some heavy punches that made the American’s knees bend. He hit so vigorously that Delaney began io hold, and in the dosing stages Uecney became mure aggressive than ever. Delaney’s left hooks and right uppercuts seemed to have no clicct whatever on the New Zealander, who scored frequently with lefts to the luce. Delaney made a recovery alter the (onih round, and lor a while kept Heency busy, but at the finish it was Heency who had something left, and Hie last round was a torrid affair, wliico, on the screen, will keep piclnregoers’ interest. On (ho same programme ‘The Midnight Bose,’ with Eva Do Put 1 i and Kenikdi Harlan, will be shown.
