mission. The boxing commission, as
the official body of the state regula-
ting all professional bouts in New
Jersey. will have control over the
conduct and management of the
coming worlds championship event
to be staged in the metropolis of
Hudson county, but to date there
has been no application made to it
by either Mr.. Richard or anyone
connected with the scheduled fight
of July 2. seeking for official sane
ton from the government of New
Jersey to conduO it.
$50 far as we know there is to be
10 fight, as there is nothing con-
corning it officially before u.s." was
the statement made here yesterday
by both Chairman Doherty and
Thomas j. Cassidy, secretary of the
commission, when the subject was
preached to them.
Mr.. Doherty also refused to con-
QTLn the STORY thai elIueE Harry
Ertle or Danny Sullivan had been
picked to referee the big bout. Both
are Jersey City men and both were
relicensed for the ensuing year by
the new commission at it's meeting
here yesterday. The chairman said
that the commission has lot com
mitted itself to any particular ref
cree, ali rumors to'the contrary not
withstanding. The conference with
Richard IS likely to be held either
tomorrow or Friday night in New
York. he stated.
The new commission transacted
considerable business yesterday. A
number of matters touching upon its
policies were taken up and practical
ly decided upon. This commission
intends to hold all it's meetings in
the OPEN" explained Mr.. Doherty,
and there will be no star-chamber
sessions. There will be no politics,
a square deal for everyone and the
aim will be to make boxing a clean
game"
One of the subjects taken up was
the mooted pass question. The for
mer commissions practice was to is
sue passes right and left and many
clubs protested. Apparently the new
board. which in addition to the
chairman is composed of Mayor
Charles Lyons, of Fairview, and
Charles A. McNair. of Paterson, is
going to cut the free list" If yes
terday is an indication.
Announcement was made by the
members in session that there will
be no passes issued except to in
spectOrs and members Of the legis-
lature. To avoid the practice too of
inspectors not assigned appearing at
clubs ard demanding admission on
their passes, it is the intention of
the new commission to assign three
men to inspect each exhibition held
in any section of the state. All 9TH
ers will have to pay for their ad-
missions. 1t is also the intention to
assign the physicians to the various
club insofar as this is practicable
and where reputable doctors can be
obtained to do this work. The pres
ent common rate pay for a physi-
clans services is IS, according to in
formation given the commission
yesterday. A standard fee may be
fixed later to be paid by all promot-
ers.
Commissioner Lyons suggested
that all clubs start their bouts
promptly at SIS in the evening. so
that the patrons may leave by 1915.
The late starting of many fights
keep the spectators out until after
midnight, he explained.
Referees licenses follow: Her.
man kugel, Newark; Danny Sulli-
a and Harry Ertle. Jersey City:
Henry Lewis, Newark; Walter OAR
ragh, West New York; Harry Nc
Coy. Paterson.
