CRIQUI LEAVES THE RING WILL OPEN BOXING SCHOOL. Received March 24, 5.5 p.m. (A. & N.Z.) PARIS, March 23. Eugene Criqui is not likely to see the boxing ring again, but he is organising a training camp near Paris with Carter as a member of his team. i “HOME FOR A REST” HEENEY IN ENGLAND. (A. & N.Z.) LONDON, March 23. “I am just home for a rest,’’ said Tom Heeney on arrival at Southampton from New York. “I am only asking my due when I claim a fight with Tunnoy for the world’s championship, and I understand that he is willing and thinks I am his logical contestant. If lam fit and well I shall give a good account of myself. Some say I have no chance, but they said the same before I boat Delaney, Risko, Paolini and Maloney.”
Heeney is returning to America in a few weeks with proposals for the championship fight in London. In this connection Phil Scott’s manager is protesting that Scott twice boat Heeney, and cannot be brushed aside in favour of the New Zealander.
