Although Jack Renault is compare
lively newcomer In the heavyweight
division he apparently has mastered
the financial phase of the boxing busi-
ness. Renault. who has acted as
sparring partner for Jack Dempsey.
was matched to box Gene Tunney at
Madison Square Garden next Friday
night and there was considerable in
terest in the meeting.
But Renault in some manner learned
the percentage which had been prom
ised to Tunney and was chagrined to
perceive that 1t was very much larger
than the allotment to himself. The
Canadian quickly notified the Garden
management that he would not box
unless he received as large percent
age as Tunney. This was refused and
Renault Cancelled the bout so far as he
was concerned.
AS the Garden people could not get
any one to meet Tunney on short notice
they were compelled to call off the af-
fair and substitute Charley White and
Sid Marks.
Tunney is naturally disgruntled at
losing the match, but the real sufferer
will be Renault. who will not be per-
mitted to box in this State until such
tlilic dS lef AulllllS HIS cUSdSeuleHl Will
Tunney. This will make 1t necessary
for Renault to do his boxing In Canada
or other way stations on the pugilistic
map
Tom Gibbons and Billy Miske will ap-
pear at the office of the Boxing Com
mission this morning and answer ques-
tions put to them by the officials. Glib
bons is not apt to be penalized. for it
was evident he did the best he knew
how. Miske will be grilled, but there
is no evidence that he did more than
take advantage of the opportunity to
win on a foul rather than be knocked
out.
Doctor Found NO Marks.
DR.. Walker, the commission physician,
made two examinations of Miske last
Friday night, and the second inspection
confirmed the opinion first expressed,
that there were no marks indicating a
foul blow.
In behalf of Miske 1t is set forth that
possibly the body punching from Gibbons
may have aggravated the injury he re-
ceived some years ago. necessitating an
operation near the base of the spine.
Chairman Muldoon reiterated his dec
laration that had Miske been winning.
or holding his own in the bout with Glib
bons he would have arisen In the tenth
round and continued the fight. AS the
case stands both boxers will likely re-
ceive the money due them.
Only one title holder and one near
champion grace the program to be Of
fered at Madison Square Garden next
Friday night Left Hook Charley White

and made II interesting for some or
them, will meet Sid Marks, who solemnly
ayers that he Is the 1875 pound champion
of Canada Marks has class enough to
sustain, the lightweight honors OF the
Dominion, and he has shown enough
ability in this vicinity to warrant the be-
| lief that White will have his hands full
when he faces the Canadian.
| Marks, who is a heavy hitter. drubbed
Willie Jackson at the Commonwealth
Club several weeks ago. and he stopped
