Tom Eliminated

AS far as< the world's heavyweight ■ competition is concerned, Tom Heeney is now definitely eliminated. At New York last week' the : Argentinian, Campolo, after losin,9 the early rounds, started to pound Tom, ahd by the time the ninth arrived Gisborne's idol was a miniature edition of a slaughter house. / Tom was knocked down for nine m this round; and, on arising, he was so helpless»that the referee stopped the contest. | Since Tom took that holiday and came, back home, he has never shown his best form, and it seems mighty like a case of age getting the best of him. More fights will come his way, but he will' now have to take what he is, given, and the hope is expressed that he will retire. If he keeps on it will only be a question of time till he finds himself m the pork and beaner class. iimiiiMiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiHiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiimimiiiinmt
