MoMahon Brothers Give Boxing ,Commissioners Chance to Get Into Investigation Limelight, Too. Coprright 1918, by The Press Pubtidhing Oe. (The New York World), ITH the Grana Jury, the Extra- W ordinary Grand Jury, the Al- Pujo Committee up to their several necks in the investigating business and setting the pace, the boxing commission to-day falls in ine with an investigation too, aa if to be up with the times. The McMahon brothers, who promoted the recent Cross-Rivers tout from wWh'oh hundreds of ticket holders were barred by closed doors after the arena was clogged with sporting humanity, are to be put on the grill. Commission- ere O'Neill, Dixon and Price will sit with judicial importance in executive session and Secretary Charley Harvey wit guard the doors test any of the pro- ceedings be heard until the commission ly to give out what it thinks the were piled into the Manhattan Casino, them in seats and others at 9 o'clock and Polive Capt. Billy Day may explain how it was he couldn't get in himself or crowd any of bie friends in after that hour. ‘The McMahon brothers will be on hand with figures and allbis to burn to show that they didn't oversell the house. ‘They wit! point out that @ year previous @t the Brown-Cross nght, when ail one sustained getting Into the building was hed derby, @ torn coat and a raffled disposition, several hundred more than the ticket count showed last Tuesday were accommodated in the same bullding. The MoMahons will dopbtiens exptain | p that they took care of everything in- wide the building and couldn't be ex- pected to run things un the outside, too, They may even say they didn't know the conditions outside. If, however they didn't, thelr husky door tenders did, ana! 4\ it fe only natural that they should have reported how they nearly amputated the arms of « dozen or so when they forolbly jammed the doors in thelr faces. UBT what will come of the investiga- J tion may only be guessed. An out and out revocation of the club's ‘ ficense is possible but very improbabl The McMahons would fight the revoca- tion of thetr license to the iast ditch and the boxing game, hanging as it ts by @ thread, 1s in no condition to with- stand @ legat battle m which political pull might figure. The commissioners have not the power to fine promoters or violators of the rules they have laid gown. They, how- ever, may order suapens.ons if the ev dence warrants euch punishment. In this particular case the commissioners may find it hard to get the right kind af evidence. There te no Judge Goff on Jo HE fans, however, expect some- I thing of the Commissioners, even if they don't order the pugilistie execution of the McMahons. New rules looking to the prevention of the same disorder as characterized the Cross-Rivers affair should be forthcom- ing and @ system inaugurated by which every ticket purchaser Is insured a seat. ‘The numberini should be made imperative and the sale of standing room elther limited or abo!- ished entirely.
