NO BROADCAST OF
 FIGHT AT MIAMI
Madison Square Garden Officials Will Not Change Decision

Miami, Fla, Feb 25.-tP.-tl- though the strongest kind or pru@- sure has been brought to hear, the Madison Square Garden Corpor3- tion today apparently had resisted all efforts to bring about q reversal of it's decision not 10 broadcast inc Sharkey- Scott and Campo.o- -Eisho fight show Thursday night.
 The impression that tho Garden magnates would change their minds and permit te fisticuffs 10 he wait cd out of the arena n all rarts of the country as veil aS to the rosc Of the world gained circulation att- CT information was received the \a- Uonal BroadcastnS company was sending two men from New York.
 It was learned, in addition. that strong influence had been broG-Ht 10 bear. not only by American radio interests, newspapers and listeners in, but also by foreign broadras.tu2 concerns anxious to obtain hook-uus because of international character of the bouts.
 England, represented by PhH Scott, and Argentina. hy hIct0rjo Campolo, in the two main bouts of the evening, especially have hoon anxious 10 arrago for Inc HIoW-hy- blow returns hy radio.
 However, William F, CaroE p"rs-
  directorate, fIatly said last night before taking a train for Now York; that there would be no broadcast under any circumstances.
 We made our decision and will stick to it." MT, Carey declared. Wa have advertised in newspapers and by other means throughout the country that there will ho no broad- cast. We have sold tickets on tuat definite undcrstanding ManlfostIN it would be unfair 10 put it mildly, to change our minds now, and per init the fight 10 ho put on the air We do not do business that way.
 If the National BroadcastiuG company is sending any men down here. it is their own affair. II has no significance.
 We may feel ii wonld haro horn 3 nice thing to do, recognizing the interest Of fans in inc tights whether or not they intended 10 come here to see thcm We have had many requests 10 do so, However, you can say positively there will he no broadcast, That applies to any local station as well as 10 any ua- tional hookup.'
 Last year. the sharhcN- -Stribling fight was broadcast hy national chain, with Bill Munday of Atlanta and Graham McNamce of New York at the microphone. The decision 10 broadcast that fight was somewhat belated, giving rise 10 the belief that the same thing would be done this year. but Mr. Carey explained that at no time last winter Was any official announcement made that there would be no radio operations.
 Otherwise, the second battle of the palms is only three days off, with the box office making a gailan! struggle 10 get the enterprise "out of the red" and the principal com- batants through with intensive training, going through the motions to keep in shape untn inc gong sends them into action.
 Nothing has happened thus far to alter the one sided aspect of the Anglo-American main event, If anything, the impressive Charartar of Jack Sharkey's last workout with the gloves yesterday strcnethenod the general belief that he will polish off the Ianky Scott Betting has h"an conspicuous by its ahsoncn. i,ough- ly. the odds today were ai f 10 ! that Sharkey wins by hnorkou inside four rounds.
 There was q strange and soinu- what pathetic contrast ro tho con- clusion of glove workouts by the two principals yesterday Sharhey went at his spamnng mates with an nsnertaI display O sayagory. Rather than arnrartn- " bit stale, ha seemed kean}v u0 ,f5-r. sure and almost savage. Thr crowd watching him ar the Mwm Beach Kennel club Was rnruu-Gs5e and so Were the experts who erosd- ed around him. 4 Vhtn. falrr. oytr in Miami, Scott finished his dr58 and climbed a fire rsrana to H5a improvised dressing room. 0ulnoH- CTS, undemonslrallya =ct#-@leI o9.
