This action was taken by the state athletic commission after learning the reasons for the disquali- fications in Massachusetts. Although the Massachusetts board requested that the suspension be con- fined to that state, the New York working agreement with State board. This punishment automatically bars Greb from fulfilling his contract to meet Jack Delaney, Bridgeport mid- dleweight, in the Milk Fund show Chairman Brower of the New York commission said the Pittsburgher would be barred from this bout unless the barrier was lift- ed in Massachusetts and subsequently lifted here. The New York board also announc- ed that it had selected Dave Shade, the Bay | Pacific coast welterweight, as the most logical opponent for Mickey Walker, world's welterweight champlon, Shade already has posted a forfeit fee for a match with Waiker. As the welter- weight champion is not a lcensed boxer in this state, no action can be l)im for failure to rec- ognize Shade's”challenge but applica- tion by him for a license will be granted only upon condition that he fulfills his pledge to meet any con- tender the commission might select.
