"A tween Walker and Shade has
"A been pending for some time.
They were to fight twelve rounds
in New Jersey, but now Shade
will be compelled to forfeit his
newly acquired title and submit
to suspension if he boxes Walker.
The commission ruling makes
it plain that any boxer who
mingles with Walker anywhere
outside the Empire State while
Mickey is under suspension will
be set down in New York.
According to the contract sign
ed Tuesday night by Walker and
Bulger, the former is guaranteed
$50, 900 for three bouts to be pro-
noted by Frank Black and
Harry Blaufass, Of Newark.
Shade, Eddie Shevlin and Pete
Latzo had been elected by these
promoters as prospective oppo-
nents of Walker, but Shade is
now eliminated. It is probable
that Walker will meet Latzo in
Dreamland Park, Newark, on
July 4, and will box Shevlin
later in Providence.

Knowing that Walker was to
be set down, Bulger, on Tuesday
night, signed him to ans agree
ment to box three bouts in New
Jersey this Summer. 1t is not
believed that the New Jersey
Boxing Commission will back up
the New York authorities and
keep Walker idle in that State.
Walkers policy of not risking
his title in decision bouts here
has caused a stagnation in the
welterweight division. Shade, as
champion in New York State, is
now in a position to be chal-
lenged, but no matches are in
sight that will tempt promoters.
1t is not probable that boxing
commissions in other Eastern
States will recognize Shade as
champion or bar Walker at the
request of the New York body.
