the gntleman on the New York

meeting was held on Gene Bur-
ton, Commission Chairman Trim
er made several observations
and when he concluded he turn
ed to Metcalfe and said, Don't
you think so, Mr.. Metcalfe?"
Ralphie promptly retorted i'm
the negative and began asking
! questions. This eemed to be an
sunheard of thing on boxing
commissions because when the
chairman speaks. in New York,
that's all brother.
Each time thereafter, MI. Met
calfe gave his opinion on every
thing and Hills opinion carried
considerable weight. Then, MI:
Triner would consult Ralphie on
any decision instead of trying!
to ram,~it down his throat. Keep
up the good work Ralphie and
colored boxers will be glad It'd
have you ON the Commission and
feel that they have some one
pitching for them, as well as
the other fighters.

he came out with one good idea
which was promptly shelved. He
thought of the idea of grading
boxers and had he continued
along the same ines with those
unpredictable New York offici-
ais he would have easily become
the Solomon of the boxing
game. This only goes to show
how near man can come to
greatness and be SO far away
after all.
JACKIE ROBINSON
If there is one man who could
become the Borough President
of Brooklyn, by unanimous con-
sent, that guy is Jackie Robin
son, the California Comet. who
has been breaking up ball
games for the Brooklyn Dodgers
with a regularity which is pleas
ingly monotonous to the Flock
Faithful who know that the only
team in the National League is
Brooklyn. When home runs are
needed, Jackie is the man
doubles, triples or singles Ro-
binson steps up to the plate and
bango! Thar she blows for the
kind of hit that is needed. Jack
seems to be in a good frame of
mind too. He is really playing
as great a defensive game as has
been seen for some time. Some
are saying that he is the great
est runner since Cobb and / have
heard others say he is AS great
or greater. But the old guys have,
he best of this comparing be
cause they are finished and only
the good plays are remember
while the guy who is still at
! lit has his INTAKES to overcome.
So, Jackie has! the hazard OF
being called a bum some days
and on his brilliant days he is
the greatest since Cobb.

Jersey, Larry Dolby, is hitting

BOXING IN NEW YORK I
Boxing in New York? There
| is none at the moment. The
Guild has declared a strike on
mighty Madison Square Garden
and the stalemate has become so
serious that there will be NO
shows in June and no big pro-
auctions have been slated for
July or August. The Ray Robin
son-Kid Gavalan thing was al
most a certainty, but it went
out of the window when the
Garden folks refused to strike
: out the clause referring to tele-
| vision and radio.
The managers cain, and Just
ly SO, that the clause giving the
! Garden and other clubs exclu-
sive television fights is unfair.
The managers claim that the
fighters should get fifty per cent
Of all the monies derived from
television and radio. They are
right. i" 4 5sss
The Garden countered by
throwing out three shows slat-
ed for June, and as Of now the
Garden has nothing ON the fight
board for June and if this keeps
up the fight bushes i'm New
York is doomed.
Kid Gaya1an took shot UP
in Syracuse, New York where
the most he will get is 5 gs,
when he could have realized five
or ten times that much against
Robinson. That's the fight game,
chum. It's tough.
