a tree on which, in summer apples

apples so, naturally, an apple tree

course, there were no apples on the
tree now, for it was winter.
"Hello, there, little Wogglejig

Boxing Activities In
Madison Square Are
Suspended byComish

NEW YORK, March IA. (P-Boxing g
activities at Madison Square Garden
are under suspension for the entire
week of March 21 as a result of the
state athletic commissions decision
today finding Tex Rickard guilty of
paying Paul Berlenbach an extra 215
per cent of the gate receipts for the
fight mi which he was knocked out
by Mike McTigue at the Garden on
January 2S
The suspension hits directly at the
next feature of Richards heavyweight
elimination program, forcing the pro-
Pauline Uzcudun of Spain and Tom
Heeney of New Zealand from March
23 to April L..
BY paying Berlenbach on basis of
321h per cent of the gate receipts in
stead of the 80 per cent called for
in the contract filed with the com
mission, Rickard "misled the com
mission" the latter charged, besides
violating the rule which limits the
purses of main bout participants to
so per cent of the receipts. McTigue,
although the victor, received only 20
per cent The promoter appeared be-
fore the commission with his attor-
ney to contest the case, but was un-
able to explain how the copy of the
contract in the commissions hands
had been altered so that Berlenbach's
percentage showed 80 to have been
substituted for "321A.1 Rickard ad-
mitted paying off at the higher fig
ure.
1t had been understood the com
mission had evidence of similar vio-
lations in c onn c til o with the
Sharkey- -McTigue fight at the Garden
March 8, but no reference to this
bout was made in today's decision. i,
Rickard declared he would not
contest the ruling.
The commission rejected the ap-
peal of Bushey Graham, Utica, N. Y,
for reinstatement This
is an echo of another alleged ''dou-
BILE agreement controversy. No ac-
tion was taken on a request from
the Illinois boxing commission to aid
in making Jack Sharkey, Boston
