TURNER WILL PLEAD
| FOR GEVINSON BOUT
Promoter, Eager to Stage Tilt
With Ingram, to Tell Boxing
Body of LOUIS Injury.

A RMED with a doctors certificate
stating Lou Gevinson was forced
TO refrain from fighting for two
months due to an injured hand,
Promoter Joe Turner will plead with
the District Boxing Commission to-
morrow night or Saturday in an effort
to gain sanction for the Gevinson-
Ray Ingram bout on the police bene-
flt boxing card June 2.
The Boxing Commission, however
bases its refusal to sanction the bout
on Gevinson's inexperience rather
than the reason for it. Gevinson has
had only four professional fights, los
Ing his last one to Johnny Pena three
months ago.
Gevinson, highly popular Jewish
1eatherWeight, and Ingram, ranked
eighth by the National Boxing As
sociation, were signed by Matchmaker
Goldle Ahearn to headline the police
show, but the District Boxing Com
mission vetoed the bout.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

- INCE the District Boxing Com
mission apparently is deter
mined Lou Gevinson and Ray
- Ingram are not going to fuss on
the police benefit card, let's dissect
the case and obtain its reasoning. This
is not an autopsy, because the local
featherweights will collide here shortly
even if not for the cops.
Because Commissioner Kenneth
to know, is the master of ceremonies
in refusing sanction for the scrap,
we'll deal chiefly with the working of
his mind. The events which led to the
official snubbing revolve around more
than appears on the surface.
First, if you wish to become
technical, Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn violated a well defined
regulation of the local boxing
code.
Goldie completely disregarded rule
II in the little green book when he
released publicity on the fight before
the commission granted permit for
the bout True, he filed contracts with
the swat body, but that in no manner
meant approval by that body.
Naturally the respective members
Of the commission didn't exactly relish
the banner headlines which filled their
optics that night at Turner'S Arena. It
not only violated a regulation, but
placed Commissioner Parkinson direct
ly on the spot because he previously
had stated he would veto the match.
If Goldie thought to circum-
vent Parkinson's rejection thus
1y he discovered himself sadly
mistaken in the short span of a
few moments.
Parkinson was alone in his convic-
ton that Gevinson was not fit op-
ponent for Ingram until that moment
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, who, by his
action, would slit his own throat, did
just that by stringing along with
Parkinson. II he planned to approve
the bout before, his decision must have
been altered by the unsanctioned re-
lease of publicity.

p EGARdESS of Justice Fakes de-
