— ——— " NO EVIDENCE IN TICKET SCANDAL Commission Can't Secure Defi-| nite Information on Tickets New York, Feb. 25 (UP)—Inabili- ty of the New York boxing commis- sion to find evidence strong enough 1o prosecute suspects will cause the | investigation of the big Maloney- Delaney ticket scandal to die peace- fully on the table today. All of those involved in the dis- tribution of box office tickets were summoned to appear again today be- fore the commis mitted before the meeting by an in- fluential members of the board that slim hope was entertained of getting any information that would lead to prosecution of anyone. “We know,” one member of the ion said, “that there was some speculation in tickets for the Maloney-Delaney fight but I am of the personal opinion that serious ef- forts were made to keep tickets out of the hands of speculators and that there were less speculation on that 1ight than on some others that have by held. “As long as there are those who are willing to buy tickets from speculators there will be speculation and it can't be stopped. It can be curbed, however.

In that way the tickets pass through two or three channels with a corresponding increase in price. We think we can stop that.” Investigation proved that many of | the tickets in the hands of New Yorlk | speculators were tickets that had | boen turned over to Dan Carroll, | AMaloney's manager, but it was inti- mated that the commission doesn’t I told | sugges- | Shooting Affray Today—Assailants Speed Off in Auto.
