= nor Fugazy had prior rights to all
italian fighters.
This was demonstrated when he au-
tomatically annexed Roberto Roberti,
Victoria Campolo and Arturo de Cookoo
de KUN. His claims were not disputed,
because of the supposed secret treaty.
But now that the signor is out Of it
the Leaning Tower Of Gorgonzola seems
to be open to all claimants
There is only one difIiculty. The
department Of public works may insist
that the winning claimant file a bond
or post cash security for the removal
of the debris In the event that the Lean
ing Tower Of Gorgonzola should do a
nose dive in his FIRST appearance here.
In the meantime the boys are getting
ready to shout: Hes mine. saw
him first"
The Italian Rights.
THERE are still some complications,
L however. It is understood that
Signor Fugazy, before retiring volun-
tarily from the caulifiower industry,
sold his Italian rights to prizehghters
to the Six Hundred MillionaireS of
Madison Square Garden. Under the
threat Of Mulberry Bend he transferred
his rights in Victoria Campolo to the
Madison Square Garden for cash con-
sideration, estimated by some at 80
cents.
It will take somebody better versed
In diplomatic usage to say whether or
not this agreement includes all italian
prizeflghters. The New York State Box
ing Commission was not disposed to
recognize the transfer Of Campolo to
the Six Hundred Millionaires, conse-
quently the matter may have to go to
FAV
There is possibility that Campolo
may be permitted to hold plebi-
scite to ascertain who is to govern
him on the second trip. He was
slightly dissatisfied over the Fugazy
rule when he was given 5000 as his
share of the gate receipts that ran
well over $4,000. They say that
Campolo now has a longing for self
government, but that idea In prin-
ciple is frowned upon by the Boxing
Commission, though Commissioner
Muldoon did intimate that II Cam
polo did come back he might be per-
mitted to collect some Of his own
money.
The idea naturally was shocking to
all the prominent fight managers.
Their notion is, Give prizengnGer q
dime and he will want dollar" Pres
the Boxing Commission repress any
such holshevist tendencies. They say
that II the idea spreads, 1t will under
mine the entire fabric Of the caulinower
industry.
For Some Reason or Other.
MICKEY WALKER, who is middle
WI weight champion whether the
New York State Boxing Commission
recognizes it or not, is suspended from
operating in this State. Asked why
the other day, Mr.. Bert Stand, VINO Is
secretary for the Boxing Commission,
said that he could not remember why
Mickey had been declared null ana void.
OF course, when ofncials are as busy
as the three New York State 6oxng
Commissioners, there are IKely 70 pc
these little oversights. 1t would pe
embarrassing II the Boxing Commission
had the power of infiicting capital
punishment.
In one of their ATS of temporary
alteration they might have SEN
fenced Mickey to be hanged ana lett
him in that position. Then q year
or two later when somebody hap
pened to ask why Mickey walker
had been hanging so long and why
he had been hanged IN the nrst
place, the secretary OF the Boxing
Commission probably Woul1 reply:
81 Just can't recollect, puL ne must
have done something, otherwise they
would not have shot him FIRST and
then hanged him. Probably they
simply let him OF easy Just 10 teacn
him q lesson. What tor' Just
can't remember"
There are runors for those who recall
some q the circumstances Of Mickey's
suspension. The theory Is that some
body reported to the Boxing Commits
sion that Mickey once nSo smoked =
hsS not consequently he was suspended
and has remained In suspension and in
suspense ever since.
