commission Immediately accepted
with a resolution that had over
tones of gratefulness.
When the National Association
meets here in January, I will ask
them to reconsider my case
Meade said. Maybe they will
think then I have done the right
thing now and give me a chance
to start riding again."
Commissioner Roy Patience OF
Cross City, who made the origi-
nal motion to reinstate Meade
said he thought the case SHOULD
be thrashed out to see if he's
worthy of a chance to redeem
himself"
Edwards said Meade's applica-
ton for reinstatement would be
thoroughly discussed before the
convention.
Commissioners denied that
Meade's action was the result of
pressure coming either from
the commission or individual
members.

Gene Flanagan Makes
Eastern Debut Tonight
In Famechon Fight
By the Associo.ed Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The
Irish have been wowing the
customers in Madison Square
Garden lately and Glen Flanagan
hopes to keep the Sons of Erin
cheering tonight.
Glen, eldest of the fighting
Flanagans of St. Paul, makes his
Eastern debut against Ray Fame
chon, a fancy boxing Frenchman
who holds the European feather
weight crown.
Only week ago, Bobby
Murphy, a seeking sailor with the
map of Ireland spread all over
his face. stopped Jimmy Beau in
a sensational fight.
Millions saw the scrap via tele-
vision and the promoting Inter-
national Boxing Club hopes
enough of them will show up in
person to root for Flanagan.
The 24-year-old Flanagan has
been doing almost all his fighting
in the Midwest. His brother Del,
a lightweight, upset Sandy Sad
dler, the featherweight king, in
Detroit last week.
1t will be as big an upset if
Glen can whip the canny, broad
snouldered Frenchman. Fame
chon is rated a 3-to-1 choice to
win the 10-rounder which starts
at 10 pm. The bout will be broad
cast and telecast.
Flanagan is a busy boy who
keeps throwing punches. That
should make him an excellent
foil for the 26-year-old French
man who has a stabbing left lab
and sneaky right.
Famechon has lost only 4 of IS
fights. Flanagan's record shows
80 victories, six losses and six
draws.
