PRICE GOUCDNC
ON BIG FIGHT
PROBED BY us.

NEW YORK. July 20 R--The rela-
ton between cigars, bottles Of Scotch
whiskey, money and tickets to the
Dempsey -Sharkey fight was brought
out today at the federal investigation
into the alleged iagouging' proclivitles
OF ticket agencies.
The hearing was interrupted mo-
mentarily to permit the arralgnmenC
of three ticket men accused of violat-
ing the revenue act while selling fight
tickets at considerably more than their
face value. According to some reports,
other agencies have sold $3.50 tickets
for as high as $3.50 each.
The principal witness today was
Joseph Boynton, chief ticket seller
for the Madison Square Garden cor
poration. He was asked if box office
buyers ever gave him anything more
than the printed price of tickets they
wanted and what effect their gifts
had on him.
IF someone gives me a couple of
cigars, I give them a good seat he
replied IF they give me a dollar
l give them two good seats. If they
give me "a bottle of Scotch give
them several"
How many bottles of Scotch have
you been given in connection with
the sale of tickets for the fight to-
morrow night United States attorney
Tuttle asked.
PLENTY" Boynton answered.
The ticket man said that he fire.
quently received leverage of money
or liquor from agencies to which he
allotted tickets. This "overage," he
asserted, was not tribute exacted from
the agencies, "but if they want to
give something I'm not the one to
refuse" tsS
Boynton revealed that the agencies
do not even have to pay for the
tickets they obtain, merely borrow
ing them to sell if they can and with
return privilege up to a short time
before the fight.
I'm calling in all their tickets for
the Dempsey fight today" he said.
IF they don't turn them in of course
they'll either have to sell 'em or

1t is hoped that everyone III the SEN
ior league game will be ready TO begin
playing soon after 5 o'clock so that
we will be able to finish the ball
game in time to get the Dispatch re-
turns on the Dempsey -Sharkey fight.
If everyone is ready to begin at 5
o'clock we will be able to get most of
the returns after the game.
1t is reported that the Park Owls,
former pennant winners of tn? Senior
League for the past four years are
organizing and in all probability will
report in with their lineup tcdoy. If
this be true it will be possible to have
a big league game four days a week
without working any hardship on any
pitchers.
Today the Yanks will have TO fight
it out with the SWastika to determine
which team will maintain the lead.
The Yanks won their first game to
keep their percentage perfect. But the
Swastika heretofore leaders in the
league are rather particular where they
are in the win and lost colmnS and
are expected to give their best to main
tain their supremacy.
