Jimmy Twyford, wenager Of Pacl;ey

MacCrate, in the Brooklyn Supreme
Court, for writ Of certiorari to re-
view the recent action Of the New York
State Boxing Commission in disquali-
flying him as a boxing manager for a
period of ninety days. Judgment was

The trouble happened at the Pioneer

Roy Moore had fouled O'Gatty The
purse of $3.50, which under ordinary
circumstances would have gone to the
touled flghter, was withheld by the
boxing commission, this body having
decided, after q hearing, that the
fighter had not been fouled.
Through his counsel, Luke O'Reilly,
Twyford claimed the proceedings be-
fore the commission were Illegal as he
was not allowed TO cross question the
witnesses or to be represented by
counsel.
Justice MacCrate expressed the
opinion that "a dangerous precedent
might be established by allowing people
outside the ring to interfere with the
decision Of the referee"
"Of course" said the court, Il do not
say it is so in this instance, but it is
safe to assume that those who inter
fere might have a side bet on the out
come of the fight and might not like
the decision"

Bill to Put End
10 Oral Wngers
At ". Y. Tracks
From a STAFF Correspondent

A LBANY, April 12-The Rules
Committee of the Assembly
to-day reported out the Petite bill
which would prohibit the system of
oral betting row in vogue at the
racetracks of the State of New
York. A strong effort will be made
by the leaders, it is said, to have
the measure passed. The Petto bill
VIII come up for passage in the AS
semhly tomorrow.
The passage of the Petite bill
would probably sound the knell of
thoroughbred racing in the Empire
state. The sport suffered almost ir-
reparabie injury by the repeal of
the Percy-Gray Law during the ad-
mlnistration of former Governor
Charles e. Hughes. A test case.
however, which held that friendly
betting between persons did not vio-
tate the law, paved the way TO the
present system of oral wagering in
vogue in this state. AS a result the
breeding industry has been revived
and racing has attained a popular
ity unknown since the days of omen
bookmaking.

-.sfAlMORE, April 12.-The Mary
land Racing Commission has laid down
the law to the Maryland Jockey Club.
The commission to-day ordered the
Maryland Jockey Club TO accept Guy
bedwell as authorized agent for Com
mander J. K. L. Ross. The fat wa
ISSUED following meeting Of the com
mission attended by Chairman Olivier
and Commissioner Timanus.
The commission has thus ordered the
Maryland Jockey Club to do what the
latter has just refused to do, the Mary
land Jockey Club, following the lead Of
the New York Jockey Club, having de-
clared that it would not accept Bedweil
as the agent of Ross.
The commission communicated its
mandate in letter to the Maryland
Jockey Club. In the latter the commits
sion takes it for granted that the
Maryland Jockey Club must obey the
commissions rules. What the commits
sion will do in case OF disobedience is
not stated, but the infe~ence is obvious
no obedience, no license.
Returns Fsmlico Check
In fact, Commissioner Timanug
wanted to incorporate this ultimatum
IN the mandate of the commission
but it was decided that the commits
ions powers in the premises are sui
hciently explicit to render such 2
threat superfuous
The commission also returned d
check for sos. coo, which Pimlico had
sent as It's fee for tae spring racing
season. which begins May g. Some
surprise VAS expressed at the com
MISSIONS Offices to-day that the check
should have been sent so early.
Furthe-. the commission decided 70
return documents which accompanied
the check. These documents included
IN termination of Piml;co assets, az,
estimate of the tracks earnings for
1921 and list Of officials. TIE lat
ter list was held to be defective be-
cause it did not show amounts o.
salaries.
William P. Riggs, secretary of the
Maryland Jockey Club, announced after
recognition had been denied to Bed
well that his club had decided TO give
Commander Ross time to sign his ows
entry papers. Commander Ross is ex-
pected here today.
