And now for the scandal which is
tearing up Jersey sporting circles
just now. 1t dates back to the Car
pentier-Levinsky fight on Columbus
day, 1920. According to the story,
the following charges are in the pos
session of the Mackay legislative
committee: That David Mckay. the
Newark promoter. had the fight
cinched for the old Federal League
Ball Park at Harrison. y. j.; that
Jersey City politicians had the fight
transferred to their :cwn. This
that thousand deputy sneriffs would
be sent to Harrison to prevent the
encounter if an attempt was made
to hold it in Harrison.
McKay's Arrangements.
Mckay had obtained permission
from the Harrison town council to
hold the fight-the receipts of which
were approximately sS1.000-and had
received promise of adequate police
protection. But he didn't need the
police because. accordingto the story,
he was forced out of the promotion
end through the transfer of the bout.
Jack Curley appeared as the pro-
moter in Mckay's place. One-third
of the gate receipts was assigned as
his share. the International Sporting
Club was to get one-third and an
other third was to go to the Jersey
City politicians.
lot of funny things were done at the
fight. according to the charges One
statement is that the politicians in
volved had holes knocked in the fence
of the ball grounds and that their lieu
tenants, stationed there. collected
money for letting men slip through.
Also it is asserted that while the war
one is certain that the government
received much of it. And if it did
not. who did?
Names Of high Jersey City politicians
are being freely banded about Newark
and other centers of sport in Jersey as
concerned in this fine smelling affair.

in the negotiations for the Dempsey

Should the American and British teams

There is much interest in the con-
tests to be played, and the stands to be
erected win not accommodate nearly
the number wishing to see them. Polo
requires field 300 yards long and 200

leasing of the Chelsea foot ball ground,
which will accommodate 10000 specta-
tors, out Of the question.
The prices to be charged for admis-
sion will be quite high, but the public
will have a number of chances to watch
practice and trial games at low cost
of admission. The first trial match has
been arranged for May 16. The English
