DR.. Greaney thundered his
negative not once, but three times.
The findings of DR.. Greaney are
most distressing to Shaw. Not only
did they bar him from the ring
at Turner's Areana last night, but
they may bar him from the Police
Department of New York city.

he contended this morning.
WHO SHALL DECIDE
Surely the Gotham medicos dis.

Greaney. So here in the Nations
Capital fight fans are confronted
by the puzzle that has beset man.
KIND since the first dim dawn Of
medical science: who shall de-

Shaw was projected into the
local sports picture because of the
detection from duty of one Jack
Sheridan, who was matched with
Murray Kanner, local heavy
weight. Sheridan was announced
as a Golden Glove winner, but
search of the New York records
reveal no Jack Sheridan as a con-
teStant, let alone a winner. What
ever he was, Sheridan now need
not concern the local ring addicts.
He failed to show up. Just ran
out of his bout, to be exact.
Shaw, training for a fight two
weeks hence, agreed late on Sun
day night to meet Kanner. AS a
matter of fact, he leaped at the
chance, for he had severely
criticized Paul Pross for quitting
to Kanner few weeks ago. ProSs
bet that Kanner would stop Shaw
in less than two rounds.
SHAW LOOKED FAT
In the interest of truth, it must
be said that Shaw looked some
what soft and out of real fighting
condition. But he said he was
ready, and pointed to recent featS
in the ring. He stopped Joe
Fedz at the Broadway Arena in
Brooklyn in two rounds, and also
belted out Joe Gargise.

SOLONs AWAIT REPLY
The District Boxing Commission
awaits word from the New York
State Athletic Commission with
regard to Andrea JeSSuru1 and
Vittorio Ventura, who are sched-
uled to fight here on next Friday
night, but who evidently have
violated their contacts by agree

week. Jesserun is fighting frankie
