NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-An in
vestigation was promised today
by State Athletic Commissioner
O'Neill In connection with the
management of the Rivers-Cross
bout Tuesday night by the Nc
Mahon Brothers of the Empire
Athletic club. 1t was alleged that
more tickets were sold than the
Manhattan Casino would hold,
causing riot that took 100 po-
licemen to quell and preventing
nearly a thousand fight fans from
viewing the bout. Many of the
fans had already secured tickets,
but arriving late, found that 9TH
er patrons had usurped their
places.

on the other parts Of his body It was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-

The writer Of fiction, who also looks
for steady success, must never by any

as he finds the critics saying, This
man writes sensation" or This man

frequently resorted to it, and in nine
