James A. Farley, chairman of the commission, revealed yesterday that before the fight rs were called into the ring at Madison @quare Garden Monday night he had in- structed Lou Maguolla, the referce to inform Sharkey and Delaney they would be thrown out of the ring i there was anything wrong with their actions. “All T heard hcfors the fight.” sald Farley, “were the same rumors | that a lot of other people heard. 1 instructed Magnolla when he called | the fighters to the center of 1l ring to tell them what I had heard. “I told him to say that if there was anvthing wrong with their actions, both would be thrown out of the ring. I naven't seen Mag- nolia since the fight, 1 assume he obeyed orders."” Joe Jacobs, manager of Delaney, and Johnny Buckley, Sharkey pilot, ridiculed the reports. “Delaney was at 178 pounds, his best fizhting weight, and in as good condition as he has ever been,” said Jacobs. *“Hec was simply hit on 1} chin as any other fighter might me. | “It seems to mo that the only| thing wrong with the hout,” said Buckley, s that Sharkey fought as he is capable of fightting, and| Delaney was knocked out.
