No License For Garden
May Stop New York Contests
New York, Nov. 2 9.—The State ath
letic commission has refused to grant
a license to hold boxing in Madison
Square Garden. The promoters of the
new club —John J. White, president:
William Long, secretary-treasurer, and
Harry Pollok, matchmaker—presented
a lease which the lessor or lessee could
terminate at fifteen days' notice. The
boxing statute requires that a lease
must be for one year, hence the com
mission tabled the application.
Emil E. Fuchs, attorney for the ap
plicants, promised to produce a satis
factory lease within twenty-four hours.
However, it is doubtful whether a leaso
on the Garden for a year can be ob
tained as an interlocutory .ludgment
of foreclosure and sale has been en
tered against the premises.
"Johnny" Dundee is to box "Fred
die" Welsh in the Garden Thursday
evening if a license is granted the new
club.
