TOM HEENEY'S LIMITATIONS
PUNCHES LACK PUNCH. COULD BE WORLD-BEATER. tßy Electric Cable—Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.! LONDON, Oct. 31. The “Daily Dispatch” sports editor says; “The New Zealand boxer Hoeney is difficult to understand. He is the speediest bis man we have ever seen, and it' his punching power was commensurate with his quickness he would bo a world beater. He seems to land with power, but doubtless there is something wrong with his hitting for his blows, with which he belab • oured Stanley, properly directed would have felled' the toughest opponent. The sound of Heenoy's blows suggests that he opens the gloves at the last moment. Heoney’s fine fighting spirit could counter-balance his deficiencies in height and reach were his punch what it should bo.”
