BOXING COMMISSION TO .SZFT CHARGES OFFAKE
 M RED ALIENS BOUT

Tn an effort to find out whether the Red Allen-Mike McCabe bout at the Armory Monday night was fixed" or not, the Bridgeport Boxing Commis- sion has invited local sporting writers, fight promoters, managers of fighters and those interested in the welfare of the boxing game in this city to pub lie hearing on the matter next week Thursday night. when the whole mat ter will be gone over and discussed. The Boxing Commission wants to fix the responsibility and are forced to this action by Jim Crossman, who de- mands that the commission sift the matter to the bottom. The com mmis- sion held a meeting last night and decided upon this plan.
 There have been rumors of such a move by the commission ever since the first cry of fake" was raised the day after the bout at the Armory A. A. A letter from ''Slim Jim Cross man of the Boxing Commission, de- ivered yesterday, asking that an in- , vestigation be made, undoubtedly had something to do with stirring the commissioners to immediate action. A copy of the letter follows:
 City Boxing Commission, MT. Al
 w. Burdick, Secretary:
 Dear Sir: The isue of Tuesday. October 26th, declares in an article written by
 sporting editor, from informa- ton on, received t, from oian. an unna named med the A1len-Britt bout for the New
 England lightweight champion ship framed" the Allen-McCabe fight on the 18th at the Armory A. A.
 As I am the interests" behind .- the Allen-Britt bout, I wish to call the attention of the commis- sion to the article in question and ask if possible for the commits sion to hold a full and public in- vestigation of the matter in order that the charges may be officially
 proven, or, if there are no foun- dations for the same the insti- gator of the story may be pub ncly known.
 Yours truly
