A Jacobs Buckley Madison Square
Garden conference that lasted hours

difference, it was announced, with two
or three minor" exceptions.
The minor" exceptions, it was un-
derstood, had to do with such unin-
portant matters as financial terms.
After the conference broke up last
night it was said that the chief diff
Guilty arose out of the fact that Buck
ley, Sharkeys manager, was demand
ing a larger share of the receipts than
the Garden was ready to grant.
There also were indications that ia

States mo foul" rule waived again,
Just as it was when Schmeling won the
heavyweight title on a foul in the
