 PUT ON SHELF FOR BAG TALK ON BOUT

New York, Nov 25-CUP)-Un- less Luis Guttierez, manager of Victoria Campolo and Kid Choco- late, makes his peace with the New York state athletic commis- sion Friday, he will not be al- lowed to second his fighter in the 15.round dreadnaught champion ship bout between Campolo and Primo Camera Friday night.
 Guttierez was suspended yester- day ostensibly because he failed to answer a summons to appear be- fore the board. In reality he was suspended because he is alleged to have impugned the integrity of the commissions officials after last Fridays bout between Chocolate and Tony Canzoneri.
 Guttierez, a volatile, excitable Cuban, thought Chocolate had won snd Is alleged to have remarked that "the works were in"
 An apology probably will soothe the commission.
