“The Commission." stated Chair-
man Browcr at the conclusion of the
meeting. "summoned Mr. Rickard
and Mr. Gibson today and asked
them. whether it. wore true that
\anlwr and Leonard had bcen sign-
ed to meet in a no-declsion contest

told this “as so. Now. ‘we are not
interested at all where Leonard and
“'alkcr fight. But 'it has been our
attitude from the first to compel
champions to defend their titles, for
we consider it only fair to the boys
in the profession that they have the.
opportunity to reach the top. So
when some time ago “‘alker failed
to comply with our request that he
meet. Shade. whom this board recog-
nized as the leading challenger for
tho. \vcltcrwcight championship. We
declared Vfalki-r ineligible to box in

Winner to meet Shade.
Must B x Shade First.
"We now learn that this agree-
ment has been broken and we in,
formed Mr. Rickard and Mr. Gibson
today that we will not allow any-
body to meet. “'alker before he
meet Shade, and that. if anybody
lends aid in the promotion of a. bout
that will interfere with Walker first
defending his title against Shade in
a decision fight. he shall incur the
displeasure of this board. And that
does not mean suspensions. but
licenses revoked. “‘0 also made it
clear that our offer to permit l.eo~
nard and “'alkcr to fight to a deci-
sion “as now off. although we might
reconsider this."
\Vln'n asked how soon the com-
mission would act in vir-w of the fact
that, tho lmonurd-“hlkcr bout al-
ready has been definitely announced

said: "As soon as “‘0 have evidence

Rickard. aftcr the meeting. said
he had no comment to make on the
