BOXING.
HEENEY’S PLANS. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Heeney has started training daily in hopes of a bout with Dempsey in September. He returned to the United States with the intention of becoming a diamond importer, but Rickard and Harvey persuaded him to continue boxing. Rickard said he wanted him to fight Paolino Uzeudun, the winner to meet Sharkey or Stribling, and then Dempsey. Although recognising a doubt as to Dempsey’s plans following .Rickard’s death, Heeney to-day said : “As long.as Bempsey is going to lie in it, 1 guess the best I can do is to get in there and fight for a chance to meet him. T’d just love a fight with Paolino. That’s one guy I can lick. If I can’t whip him. I’m going to quit and get started in the diamond business.”
