"The action of the New York commits
sion In limiting the price of seats was
timely and should meet with approval
everywhere" Director Cortelyou, in
charge of boxing In Philadelphia, wired.
I'VE believe boxing commissions should
control prices in order to protect the
public. The amounts fixed should be
left to individual commissions to decide
on local conditions" said L. II. Light
cap, chairman of the Ohio Boxing Com
mission.
I'VE insist upon several hundred 81
seats. We never have set a limit on seats,

$40. We repeatedly ask promoters to re-
duce prices to the benefit of the real fans
who cannot pay high prices. The pro

Tex Richard New York promoter, who
will be affected more than anyone else
