the heavyweight program for the
Summer and Fall of 1881 is about
to take place.
This shake-up in the plans for the
big fellows-and there is no question
the powers that-be have been confer
ring busily for days-would wipe out
the fracaS Of Jimmy Maloney and the
Italian Alp, probably eliminate the
Mickey Walker-Johnny Risko setto, and
would pave the way for a friendly and
open resumption of heavyweight rela-
tons between the New York State Ath-
letic Commission and officials of Madi-
son Square Garden.
The object, so the wise ones insist, Il

York this coming Summer with Jack
Sharkey, the favorite son, storming out
of one corner to swap socks with none
other than Camera. Under the present
ranged unless the Garden makes its
peace with the solemn solons of the
State boxing laws.
Both New YOrk-run Shows.
Both the Camera Maloney and the
Risko-Walker shows in Miami are to be
staged in the Winter arena of the
Madison Square Garden Corporation

with both promotions in the eyes of the
local commission. All four of the main
bout principals are under ban here.

more disciplinary prospects at the hands
of the commission than are scheduled
to follow the signing of Max Schmeling
and Young Stribling, formerly another
New York outlaw, by the Illinois Madi-
son Square Garden Corporation for a
championship match in June.
So the way out for all concerned, so
the wise ones aver, Is for Madison
Square Garden to placate the commits
sion by hating. if it can. both of the
heavyweight shows scheduled for Miami
this Winter. 1t is pointed out thai the
commission might then be notified to
the extent of countenancing a Stribling-
Schmeling match in Chicago without
penalties and a Sharkey Camera duel
here.
