LEWLS-BRITTON BOUT
FEB. is INSTEAD OF II

New York, Feb. 1.-Two lengthy
hearings held by Fred Wenck, chair
man of the State Athletic Commission,
yesterday, resulted in the suspension
of the Manhattan Sporting club for an
indefinite period; the loss of position
of Eddie Mcmahon. matchmaker of
that club and the cancellatio of the
Ted Lewis-Jack Britton bout which
was scheduled foT Madison Square
Garden for Feb. II.
In the Lewis Britton case the
Broadway Sporting club filed a COM
plant, claiming prior right to the
services of both boxers. Johnny Weis-
mantle, owner of the Brooklyn club,
appeared before the commission and
informed Wenck that he had signed
both boxers to appear at his club be-
fore the bout for Madison Square
Garden was arranged.
Johnny insisted that the commission
compel Jimmy Johnston, manager Of
Lewis and matchmaker of the Gar
den, to refrain from advertising the
appearance OF Lewis and Britton at
the Garden on Feb. II, the date Sc
1ected by Johnston for the Garden
mill.
wenclz decided in favor of Weis-
mantle. He said that the Broadway
Sporting club had a prior right to the
services of the contestants, and that
the Garden must cancel it's card.
Lewis and Britton last night agreed
to post forfeits for both weight and
appearance. The bout will take place
next Tuesday in the Broadway Sport
ing club. The men have agreed tC
weigh in at LAP pounds ringsde.
