A. U. and led to delegation of authority over amateur boxing to the state athletic commissioner, echoed in superior court here today. Attorney Daniel Pouzzner was to pear before Judge Allyn L. Brown eking a temporary injunction re- raining Athletic Commissioner homas E. Donohue from exercising | his recently-acquired authority to block today's scheduled “amateur” | matches at New Haven arena. Today's legai action followed a meeting called hy Donohue at the | arena late yesterday to develop a code for supervision of the sport. Before the governor signed the bill | amending the previous law, making | the New London man czar of the novices, Donohue had jurisdiction over only the professionals. The meeting was attended by about 120 sportsmen and a dozen speakers were heard, but the com- niissioner could have weitten all the heipful suggestions he received on a calling card. The meeting served only te bring the arena, largest producer in this | state of amateur shows, into open conflict with the commissioner. Lionohue’s first act on taking over the amateurs was to order all houts cancelled until he developed regula- tions. eving that to break the ontinuity of weekly bouts would work financial hardship and that the comumissioner had had ample time ich to prepare rules, the arena scheduled tonight's bouts and | prepared to buck the state with the | law Judge grant the had & at noor in w expicted to| and ]‘r)'uzn»rj to met Donohiue ! rve the I days to it was be- Brown s injunction, lostile audience Donohue that he b ta bona fide am to and 1 on ting un- wateurs would | not umateurs amateurs in Tom Donohue is groy-haired lit- beligerently Donohue said work immediately d expected to duy ger Nathan + intended to rdless of his . ed he would police if necossary bhan 10 a showdown hetween sp g clubs,” he il s char ecticut boys state force the and the THREE TEAMS TIED IN SIX DAY BIKE GRIND, Most sensational Riding of Entire Race is Witnessed During the Night. 1.—P—Three ocked for the - six day bicyele race re Garden, at Sird hour, after the ng of the grind. 414 the cyclists ease sprints in an triple tie. all of whom miles and nine laps -Beckm Georgetti- a ignot-RBlanchonet. or teams were tied for sec- on. 1 rid spirited 1k the had Bellor ts ( 124 86 5 56 ar 55 r ol 5 116 : 5 53 116 an 64 139 96 102 Spencer-Horder Taton Jill-Petri Grimmel 1 Hanley-Keller Bello-Zucchetti Kockler-Merkner .

Representing Windham county, the Collegians took a 84-: decision from the Middlesex county team in the semi-finals by coming from behind in the sccond half. New Britain did preciscly the san thing in downing Fairfield county last Saturday, and the Hartford champions are rcady to meet their opponents a third time. IFor it will be the third meeting between New Britain and Wood- stock. Two years ago they clashed in the semi-finals out in Willington, and the Collegians sncaked out a win in the last quarter. Last year New Britain played under a handi- cap. being forced to defeat New |Canaan in the afterncon and the meet the fresh Woodstock team at night. After leading during the first half, the tired Hardware City boys collapsed and Woodstock won. This time, men hope to end the two-year reign of the Windham team.
