THAT resulted in the signing OF q
new contract, which expressly
prohibited his fighting Louis and
which he contends is void. When a
$5Oo,O00 guarantee for the Chicago
scrap was offered, Joe Gould Brad
docks manager, accepted with un-
equaled alacrity, announcing the
Schmeling bout was off" The legal
action decided yesterday was begun in
March after the champion had evaded
service in Miami Of a similar court
order.
The decision was based principally
on one section of Braddock's reply to
the Garden demands. He maintained
that if he failed to box Schmehng, such
an injunction might deprive him for
ever OF his means of livelihood
Judge Fake, after delving into the
differences between an agreement
made for limited time and an un-
limited covenant. ruled since it ap-
pears that the negative covenant here
involved (the part Of the agreement
preventing Braddock from fighting
Louis) fails to fix any definite limita-
tion as to the length of time of its
existence I am of the opinion
that the covenant places an unreason-
able restraint upon his (Braddock's)
liberty"

INGRAM LUCKLESS
IN RING BOOKINGS
Ban on Bout With Gevinson
Leaves Him Without a
Police Card Foe.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

N AY INGRAM a deserving young
- featherweight who has been
N deemed too good" to meet
Lou Gevinson on the police
benefit boxing card at Griffith Sta
dium on June 2, today earns the du-
bious distinction Of being made the
outstanding fall guy Of the season as
the result Of an edict handed down
by the District Boxing Commission.
While Promoter Joe Turner and
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn suffer
little by the commissions refusal to
sanction match between Gevinson
and Ingram, Ray finds himself with
out a spot ON the show and Gevinson
winds up with q return match with
Johnny Pena.
Ingram, who has been anxious to
meet Lou, was reported to have signed
for $1,000, which is not too much,
considering his recent victories over
such fighters as Joey Wach, Christo-
bal Jaramillo, Johnny De Foe and
Nick Camarata. He now has been
stripped OF the most lucrative purse
ever tossed his way at time when
he IS ranked eighth by the National
Boxing Association.
Lou in Meaningless Match.
CEVINSON, in the meantime, hard
ly can be called the victim of the
commissions somewhat hazy mental
maneuvering. He still is on the police
card with an opponent which, win.
lose or draw, means little to local
boxing fans This, In the blurred eye
of the commission, will prove or dis
prove his ability.
The commission disregarded a Pc
tition OF 500 names from the Treasury
Department imploring the bout be
allowed to materialize. More than
100 names were signed to q petition
from q downtown department store
asking for a reversal Of its veto, but
the boxing body passed these of light
ly with -how-many-o
them -would-buy tickets" attitude.
Ahearn was advised to use Ingram
and Gevinson on the card, but while
he has placed Lou in one Of the four
10-round bouts, he can find no spot
for Ingram, who consequently winds
up as the goat Of the blAck-balled
bout.
Other Bouts Sanctioned.
Il ENNETH N. PARKINSON, Claude
~ Owen and Maj. Ernest w. Brown
heard the appeal Of Turner and reit-
Grated their statement that, in their
collective opinion, Gevinson was not
sufficiently experienced to warrant a
crack at Ingram.
Gevinson, highly popular here, has
had only. four professional fights, but
has more than five years experience
In amateur ranks and once hoored
Lou Selica, who later became world
bantamweight champion, and IS rated
by many as the finest prospect ever
to be produced in this sector.
Meantime Ahearn was granted ap-
proval for a bout between Tom Ches-
ter, oolored New York middleweight,
and Ossie Stewart of Pittsburgh In
one OF the featured 1o-rounders. Bob
Tow, Alexandria heavyweight, and
Sandy Mcdonald Of Texas already
have been sanctioned for another
scrap.
The commission also heard q plea
from Earl Mcdonald and Walter
Young, colored promoters, who want
John Henry Lewis, world light-heavy-
weight champion, to meet an out
standing white heavyweight. The
commission suggested several colored
opponents, however, and granted ten
tative dates Of June IS or June 28
to the promoters.

The decision Of Federal Judge Guy
L. Fake at Newark, N. j., yesterday,
in refusing to grant the Madison
Square Garden Corp an injunction
to prevent Braddock from fighting
Bomber Joe Louis, lifted a tremendous
load from the titleholders mind.
Braddock, in his training camp at
Grand Beach, Mich, was happy to
know at last that he was going to
fight Louis, the opponent'o of his choice,
instead Of Max Schmeling.
Now, can settle down to training
with no more worries about the fight
not coming off," the champion said.
