RESUME INQUIRY
IN BOSTON ROW
Baseball Scandal Sill Being
Aired in Hub City

Boston, Jan s. R-Interest in the
Sunday sports graft scandal had
shifted back to the finance commits
sion's investigation today following
upon bitter row in city council
where the election OF new presi-
dent was put over a week after
members had listened to scathing
attacks on Emil L. Fuchs. president
of the Boston National league base
ball club.
The finance commission was ex-
pected to resume its inquiry by call
ing several members of the alleged
councilmanic bloc OF IS men, whom
Fuchs charged he had been told
were holding out for $1,000 each for
favorable vote on the Sunday
sports bill. measure designed,
among other things, to allow big
league baseball here seven days q
week.
Among those to be called probably
will be Councilman William G.
Lynch. named by Fuchs as the one
who called on him to present the
demands Of the alleged bloc.
| Lynch was to have been nominst-
ed at yesterdays council meeting
for the presidency now held by
/ Thomas n. Green. The latter. pre-
>iously announced as candidate,
withdrew last night. Several menu
bers Of the so-called bloc, as we'll
as other councimen. have declared
they would support Lynch as pro-
test against Fuchs charges.
The counciu handed the Braves
| another setback In the clubs plans
for an early permit for Sunday base
ball when it unanimously adopted
an order calling for the appointment
Of a committee of five to consider
regulations governing the granting
of such licenses.
II will go down to political defeat
before III let Fuchs, the liar, or
Adams, the narrow minded hypo-
critic, black jack or coerce Dowd
into giving them that permit said
Councilman John +. Dowd in intro
ducing the resolution. Adams is
Sharles r. Adams, vice president OF
the Braves, whose original charges
started the finance commission on Its
inquiry. He is also president OF the
{ Boston Bruins hockey outfit.
| In the meantime, Another angle
Of the situation was being investi-
gated by Assistant Attorney General
Gerald Callahan. who announced he
would call a number of prominent
contributors to the 100000 fund OF
the Outdoor Recreation league to his
office today for questioning.
The league was the principal or
sanization behind the successful
campaign for statewide endorse
ment at the last general election Of
the referendum permitting profes'
sonal Sunday sports in Massa'
chusetts and it has been charged
that the list of subscribers as sub
mitted to the secretary OF state i.
almost entirely false.
Joseph P. Walsh, attorney fol
Councilman Lynch, told the finance
commission last. week that he be
lieyed the entire $4,000 had beer
furnished by Fuchs. The list credit
I'd numerous newspapermen, poll
ticians and others as donors OF sum-
ranging from $1,000 down.

There are any number Of match

are reliable men. They can produce
the goods. However, in New Britain.
there Is at the present time a man
who has been interested In amateur

matchmaker for the local club and
we suggest that he be given the as

Speaking
of Sports

Paul Glickstein. late matchmaker
for the Stanley A. c., certainly pulled
4 boner last night at the amateur
fights when he stopped bout after
the first round had been fought be-
cause he had an alteration over
money with the promoters. AS we
found out later, it appears that
Glickstein was holding up the pro-
meters and using the threat to stop
the fights as a club to secure his
demands.
In the presence Of Perlsteln and
Toretsky, the promoters. and two
newspa permen last night. Glickstein
admitted that he had asked for APP
proximately SIS more than he had
agreed to furnish the fighters for
and Perlstein had promptly refused
to accede to the demands.
He then proceeded to take 1t out
on the cash customers and give anna
teur fighting in this city one OF the
worst black eyes it has ever re-
ceived. The fans present last night
were none too enthusiastic about
the entire card although it was fair
and some Of the matches were excel
lent but they became completely dis
Kusted when the third last bout was
stopped fr a reason which they
knew nothing about.
Perlstein took the only logical
step left to him. He terminated his
relations with Glickstein and said
that he would conduct amateur
fights in this city as he had an
nounced but another matchmaker
would be signed up. Glickstein ad-
mitted that he showed poor judg-
ment in taking the steps that he did
but this did not repay the fans who
had given up their highly priced
shekels to see bouts as advertised.
We have pertinent suggestion tt
make to the promoters and official:
Of the Stanley A. c. and 1t is GER
tainly none of our business whether
it Is accepted or not. Heretofore. TIKI
fight fans OF New Britain have beer
used to getting their moneys Wortl
at amateur fights. That was because
reliable men were in charge Of thu
tournaments.
