The decision OF the commission,
said O'Rourke, was misinterpreted
by certain parties at the outset. The
bars are not up against Wilson and
Downey IL they want to meet here,
but they will not be permitted to
box anyone else until they have set
tied their dispute somewhere.
Has New York License.
Wilson already has a New York
license. But he will not be permitted
TO use II again until he meets
Downey. II he is matched with
Downey the latter will be granted a
license at once.
This decision was reached by the
commission after careful considera-
ton of all reports from Cleveland.
These reports. however, were unof-
ficial. We have not received an Of
ficial report from the Cleveland box
ing commission"
Speaking for himself and not as
a member OF the New York commits
sion, O'Rourke indicated that he.
personally. believes that Wilson is
the champion of his class until he is
beaten regularly" That Is, until
referees decision, or the decision
Of a referee and two judges settles
the differences between he and
Downey.
In other words. the veteran boxing
official thinks the Cleveland COM
mission should have stood behind
Referee Jimmy Gardner, inasmuch
as they set aside their rules to per.
nit him to officiate. This opinion
is growing among members of the
boxing fraternity.
VIII Take On Wilson.
Meanwhile Jimmy Dunn, manager
Of Dowpey, has his fighter here seek
Ing match with somebody and is
willing to take on Wilson IL the
Charlestown battler will agree.
Nothing will please Downey better
than to meet Wilson at the middle
weight limit in a New York ring, 4"
said Dunn today. We are ready to
fight and that shows our good faith
II Wilson is ready. so much the better.
The only fault / find with the ruling
Of the New York commission is that 1t
leaves Downey In the hole as he must
box Wilson first or no one and he will
be left out In the cold as far as New
York is concerned II Wilson refuses to
meet him" So It's all up to Johnny
Wilson now. New York promoters
stand ready to make the match the
minute the fighters will agree to meet
on Gotham soil.

Church Found Guilty
Pay Extreme Penalty

Chicago-Harvey W. Church, charged
with the murder of two automobile
statesmen, was found guilty this morn
ing and sentenced to death. Church
killed the men, Carl Ausmus and Ber-
nard Daugherty when they delivered a
car which he had arranged to buy.
The jury, which went out last night
ing unanimous for the death penalty.
Church who is twenty-one years old,
was arrested at Adams, Wis, his old
home, few days after the double
murder. The body of Ausmus was dug
up under the floor of the garage at
the Church home later Daugherty's
body, with hands handcuffed and feet
bound with ropes, was found in the
DesPlaines river.
Church, according to the police,
made three detailed confessions, tell
ing how he had arranged to buy q
$4,000 automobile from the statesmen
and then killed them in the basement
of his home when they delivered the
machine and disposed of their bodies.
The confessions, however, were not
introduced at the trial.
The defense rested entirely on an
insanity plea, Church's aged mother,
his sister and neighbors from Adams,
Wis, taking the stand to tell of al
legged eccentricities. He was tried
for the killing of Ausmus, the :.
dictment in. the Daugherty case being
held in reserve.
