Heeney Seconds Cook in Canada
FIGHT AT TORONTO AUSTRALIAN MEETS GANS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.5 a.m. TORONTO, Monday. The Australian heavy-weight, George Cook, plans to enter the ring against Gans weighting 13st 111 b or 13st 121 b. His manager,. Mr. Ames, declared that Cook will likely be seconded by Tom Heeney. Cook said: “You can bet I will be trying. I can’t afford to lose here, as I am working on a percentage basis against Jim Maloney on April 30 in Boston, and I expect a £12,000 house.” Gans declares that he is in splendid shape. The preliminaries will open with a bout between Joe Brown (Montreal) and Doug. Lewis (Toronto). Brown is a sparring partner of Heeney, and Tom, who came to Toronto with him, will probably be in his corner also.
