Poisoned-pen letters from envious

man George Kochan and Jake La
Motta, ACCORD ing to Tex Sullivan,
Kochan's pilot.
The scheduled 10-round scrap
was called off at $50 p. M, but
thousands of fans unaware of
the ancellation-went to Madison
Square Garden, only to find the
punch emporium closed.
Promoter Mike Jacobs announced
mo fight" after receiving tele-
gram from the chief of naval per-
sonnet at Washington. 1t read:

Kochan, machinist's mate second

be authorized"
Kochan. who has had IS profess
sional fights during his two years
in the coast guard, was ordered by
the Navy on Tuesday to withdraw
from the match, according to Sui
Ivan, and was transferred from a
f1reboat in the New York area to
downtown barracks on the Hud-
son river. Sullivan, confident that
the difficulty could be Strengthened
out" hurried to Washington, but
accomplished nothing there. He
informed Jacobs of the situation
! Tuesday night. All day yesterday,
Jacobs tried Strengthening out"
maneuvers, but likewise failed.
1t seems that the Navy depart
ment remembered its ruling of June
10, 1912, which prohibits Navy teams
or athletes from competing in COM
mercially sponsored games or
matches. This ruling has been en-
forced against champions Gus
Lesnevich, Tony Yale and Fred
Cochrane; but not against lesser
name fighters.
"And it wouldn't have been en-
forced against Kochan," declared
Sullivan, eff certain envious boxing
