NEW YORK, June 24.-There

carpet at the boxing commission

to make good his charges that
Max schmeling was robbed and
that he knew the works" were
in for Sharkey to win the de-

the end of Is rounds.
Gunboat Smith, Charley Mathl-
son and George Kelly will not
be asked to explain their indi-
vidual votes by rounds. There
will be no fireworks-unlesS some
body gallops in with squaWK.
Jacobs Won't Appear
Joe JACOBS will not appear.
He has had his say and lntends
to let the matter drop, though,
after recanting, he reiterated last
night that his original olaSU
goes" ..
While the fight will be Off
cially okayed this afternoon, con-
troversy continues to rage
throughout the country.
The latest sequel to the de-
cision comes from California,
where DR.. Harry w. Martin, chair
man of the State Athletic Com
mission, declared boxing needs a
czar similar to baSebalpS Judge
Lands. He suggested man OF
the caliber of Theodore Roosevelt,
jr., and Gene Tunney. Martin
| would deny licenses to promoters
interested in fighters.
Two Picked Officials
General Phelan and William
Muldoon we're alone responsible
for the selection of the referee
and the judges. James A. Farley,
now up to his neck in politics at
Chicago. had nothing to do with
the naming of the three men who
voted Sharkey on to the heavy
weight throne.
On the day of the bout Null
doom and Phelan agreed between
themselves that they would select
the two judges from a list COM
posed of Tom MCGOWAN, Eddie
Farrell, Charley MathiSon and
George Kelly. The referee was
to be named from among Jed
Gahan, Gunboat Smith and Ar
thur Donovan.
After the weighing in Muldoon
and Phelan made the selection
in secret, and none of the three
men who officiated knew he had
been selected until it was time
for the fight to start. Phelan
and Muldoon stand soidly behind
their appointments.
Thought Sharkey Won
General Phelan declared that
in the future the Boxing Com
mission would tighten up on radio
broadcasting of bouts. Only men
qualified to give an accurate word
picture of bout will be allowed
to send out the story over the
air.
Phelan thought that Sharkey
won the fight. In his opinion
he didn't consider that Sharkey
was always on the retreat"
"He fought a heady, brainy,
careful fight and deserves a lot
of credit for doing so after all
that was written of what he
might do" said the general.
And concerning that left-hand
attack-or as some say-Shar.
keys backward, left-hand battle.
I asked the new champion about
it an hour after the battle.
"Why didn't you use more of
those right hand socks to the
heart that you were using On
Sekyra in the training camp?"
II tried a few, Hype, but I
found that he could clip me
with right hand counter upper
cuts, so / said that wouldn't
do. I was in there to win, not
lose"
"Then why not the right
shots to the jaw?"
Same thing. He cOuntered
me every time; so i said to
myself: Mister Sharkey, YOU
fight the fight YOU think will
surely win could do any
thing 1 wanted with him when
I used my left. He cOuldn'.
get out OF the road Of it.
