Commission Turns Dozvn Manhattan A. G.
Plea for LicenSe---McMahons in Club?

The state Athletic Commission rejected
yesterday the application of the Manhat-
tan Athletic Club of America for license
TO conduct boxing at the Manhattan
Casino. The promoters have fought des-
perately for the right TO put bouts on
there and they have contended all along
that the commission withheld their per-
init because of an action brought by the
Allied Promoting Company against Gail
Ia I'd Boag and his partners, in when the
Mcmahon brothers were defendants. The
MCMahons succeeded in getting a certl-
fed order Of dlscontinuance at special
term of the Supreme Court, Kings county
yesterday.
The promoters filed this order with the
commission. feeling certain that the last
obstacle had been removed In tho matter
of their permit. The commission argued
that the court had not passed upon the
merits OF that litigation. This. together
with a number of other matters, includ-
ing the fact that the McMahons are said
to be connected with the club. the com
missioners said, made them decide not TO
grant the promoters a license. The re-
| port says:
even considering the withdrawal OF
| that action against the defendants there
were a number OF other matters before the
commission the most important or which
will be commented upon In this state
ment.
ut appears that for some time the En-
pire A. c. has been controlled and
operated by Roderck Mcmahon and Ed
ward Mcmahon, and that Edward s.
1 Waldron was their partner in promoting
all OF the boxing exhibitions at Manhat-
tan Casino. The Mcmahon brothers
operate a club at the Manhattan Casino. at
the New Star Casino. at the Olympic Club

las Rink. 1t appears that the American

National League Official Says
Governor Plans to Witness
Progress Of Case.
TO PUT OFF MOVING HERE

The plans that Gov. John X. Tener,
president of the National League. had
made to establish his headquarters in the
New York offices of the league on January
26 or 81 probab bly, will be changed on ac-
count OF the Federal Leagues antitrust
suit fltd in Chicago against organized
baseball. Mr.. Teners term as Governor
of Pennsylvania expires on January 25
and he had arranged to come here a day
or two later to begin his first day in and
day out work as chief executive OF the
league.
Among other officials OF the two big
leagues. Gov Tener has received a sum
mons from the Federal Court in Chicago
to be present at the opening hearing there
"A week from to-day. A local lawyer
vouchsafed the opinion yesterday that the
Governor of a State cannot be forced to
answer a summons in a case of this kind,
but an official of the league declared that
Mr.. Tener OF his own will and accord will
go to Chicago to witness the progress OF
the case. as well as to offer Testimony
when called upon.
II is likely now that the Governor Will
not make his headquarters here until the
first of February. or perhaps week or 50
later. There Is no intention on his part to
move the offices from the Metropolitan
Tower. where they have been for several
vars, but the present quarters Will have
to be enlarged. The adjoining suites on
