NEW YORK BAN|SHES
 NORFOLK AND GREB
Boxers Are Suspended for Their
 Phoney Actions.

New York, May 10.--The gates of suspension which bar Harry Greb, middleweight ,,itleholder, and Kid Norfolk, colored middleweight, from rugilistic activity in Massachusetts for six months, were similarly lowered against the pair in New York state yesterday. This action was taken by the state athletic commission after learning the reasons for the disquali- fications in Massachusetts.
 Although the Massachusetts board requested that the suspension be con- fined 10 that state, the New York commission refused to pigeonhole its working agreement with the Bay State board.
 This punishment automatically bars Greb from fulfilling his contract to meet Jack Delaney, Bridgeport mid- dleweight, in the Milk Fund show here on June 21. Chairman Brewer of the New York commission said the Pittsburgher would be barred from this bout unless the barrier was lift ed in Massachusetts and subsequently lifted here.
 The New York board also announce ed that it had selected Dave Shade. Pacific coast welterweight, as the most logical opponent for Mickey Walker, worlds welterwoight champion. Shade already has posted forfeit fee for match with Walker. AS the welter- weight champion is not a licensed boxer in this state, no action can be taken against him for failure to rec ognize Shades challenge but applica- ton by him for a license will be granted only upon condition that he fulfills his pledge to meet any con- tender the commission might select.
 Rocky Kansas, Buffalo lightweight, posted a similar forfeit and challenge for the lightweight crown of Benny Leonardo Sand Sid Barbarian. Detroit lightweight, posted a forfeit and a challenge for the same title.

New York, May 1c.---Tloyd John son, Iowa heavyweight, knocked oai Quintin Romero of Chile, in the seventh round of tcn-round match at Madison Square Garden last night, The knockout blow came after one minutes and AT seconds of the roanc
 It was one of the most furious and bloody struggles of the season.

 Wild scenes followed the termina. ton of the bout. As Referee Magrolii had apparently counted up to nine tn, bell sounded. Romero was on his knees, preparing to rise. Simultane, ously with the bell, the referee waved both men to their corners.
 Newspapermen at the arena thought the Chilean had been saved by the bell and that he would come up fer the next round. 4 report spread thai a members of the state boxing com mission had ordered the bout stopped and technical knockout awarded 10 Johnson to save his rival from fur ;her punishment.
 Confusion reigned in the building centered at the r.ngside where gen erai fist fight started among protesting partisans at the time-keepcr's table. Policemen rushed from all parts Of the arena to stop the disturbance which had assumed the proportions ot a riot. The announcer jumped into the ring. clamored for attention; the fighters sat in their corners waiting for qule. and the bout to resume.
 Romero's quick and tragic ending upheld the reputation for gameness which Firpo brought to the Afuerieai ring. Four times during the passion. ate struggle the dark and rugged warrior stretched upon the canvas. but on each occasion he arose with the spirit of battle strongly surging.
 In the first round the expectant crowd got an early thrill as Johnson's vicious right spun the Chilean around and dumped him in a shaken heap.

'SlO,OOO HANDICAP
 IS FEATURE TODAY
Churchill Downs Racing Season
 Curtain Raised

Louisville, Ky, May 1o..-The cur tain was raised on spring racing at Churchill Downs today with the Clark handicap, sl0,o0o added, for three year olds and upward at a mile nd one eighth. as the feature number on the program.
 With an even week to pass before the fleet, fit and fast of the three year old thoroughbred world face the bar rier in the Golden Jubilee renewal of the Kentucky Derby, many of the ad- vance guard of visitors for the classic were here for the inauguration of what promises to be one of the most suspicious spring meetings in the his- tory of the Downs.
 The running of the Clark handicap will mark its fiftieth renewal, for it is as old as the historic Derby, all though it has rot always carried its present title. Until 1902 1t was run as the Clark stakes. It was named for the late M. Lewis Clark, who founded the Louisville Jockey club in 1874.
 Fourteen horses, including Chacolet and Hopeless, the H. Price Headley's entry and probable favorites> Chill howec, Gallaher Brothers Derby candidate: Actuary. Guest of Honor, Ten Leo. Moonraker, Stafre and Col onel Gilmore. Jack Viewers Eligible for the classic, are entered. It was considered probable scratches would cut the field to dozen starters or less. Indications pointed to a heavy track.
 Announcement that Jockey Mack Garner would go to Pimlico to ride Wise Counsellor in the Preakness was of interest here in view of recurrent reports from the east that the Ward trained colt was in trouble. Calling Garner to Pimlico is taken as positive confirmation of Trainer Wards asser- tions that all was well with Wise Counsellor.s
 Since announcement of sarazen's withdrawal from the Derby. and pos- sibility that St. James would not start, the showing made by Wise Counsel- Tor in the Preakness will be watched closely. The colt has held his place in the forefront of Derby candidates all through the winter and spring. |
