STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-10-12
CROSS is REINSTATED
Commission Finds Leach Com
piled with the Requirements.

Although there were rumors Of a posi-
BILE dissension at the meeting of the State
Athletic Commission yesterday. every
thing turned out peaceable, and the sus-
pension of Leach Cross was committed
from six months to thirty days the time
expiring on Thursday, thus enabling the
East Side dentist to appear In his bout
with Jack Britton last night at the st.
Nicholas Athletic Club.
Cross personally applied to the CON-
mission recently for reinstatement and
the matter was taken under advisement.
1t was understood that II Cross obtained
the signatures OF four prominent sporting
writer's expressing themselves In favor OF
his reinstatement. the commission would
consider the matter favorably. Cross OBJ
tanned the signatures. but failed 10 report
back to the commission.
In the mean time the Mcmahon brothers
and Cross prepared for last nights bout
under the impression that everything was
all right. A special meeting yesterday
was held for the purpose OF bringing be-
fore the commission Cross, his manager,
Sam Wallach and the St. Nicholas Ath-
letic Club managers. In explaining the
commissions action Major Dixon said
that as the managers Of the club had
gone to considerable expense to prepare
for the show and as Cross had done what
was required Of him and had shown such
anxiety to be in good standing again
there was no reason why the commission
should stand In the way.
