CAL '* IIUJI ' — Wellington Henry Davidson, former secretary to Hugh D. Mcintosh, seeks to re- cover 2.850 pounds from Tivoli The- atres, litfl., as coBimission on ;*hares sold by him to ('. J. tic Garis. Coun- sel for plaintiff in explaining the ca»>e to the jury, said Mcintosh, who wa.M the governing director of Tivoli Tlieatres, Ltd.. was in reality the company, insofar as his powers were conterned. Plaintiff in his evidence said that last year Mcintosh handed him the script of a i)lay entitled "F. F. F.." written by de Garis. The piny was later submitted to Robert Court- neidge. producer, of London, who was iu this country at that t nie. Mr. Cowrtncidge declared the play "im- possible." MeInto»ih then told him to return the play to the author as un- suitable for production. David.son said some time later he saw de Garis in Melbourne, aud he (de (iaris) agreed to guarantee to play 'F. F. F." to the extent of 2.W)0 pounds. De Garis gave witness a cheque, whieh he later gave to Mclntoah. Mc- intosh promised to allow witness six per cent conim'ssioii on ail money put up by de (laris. Davidson sa*d that at tlM> end of June MeInt^!^h told him that as a result of the breakdown of his financial arrangements with Kow- rlng k Co.. of Lnndon. he would have to get 10.000 pounds by August. He asked Melutosh whether he would rare to have de Garis aaiM)ciated with him in the firm. MelntOKh said: "Fred Marks is resigning from the board, niid if you can get de Gar's to take up his holding of 5.000 shure> at 1 i>ound per share^^ril giva him a seat on the board. I'll give you five per cent on the 5.000 pounds." Mcintosh said be did not want to amalgamate with WiUiamson-Talt be- ratiRV tht piV/}H>5al wu..". not attrac- tive enough, but if he did not get 10.000 pounds by August he would have to submit to the terms of Wil- liamson-Tait. Davidson sal^l he saw de Gari.a in Melbourne in July, and he agreed to take up the Ti 000 shares. Melntosh in reply said be gave Da- v)<l.'<i»ii instriK'tions to submM the play "F. F. F." to Robert ij^nrt- neidge. It was correct Courtneidge had pronounced the play ''impossible.'" lie diil not at any time offer navid- ^on commiiKsion relative to "F. F. F.." or say that he must get 10.000 pounds by August. If he had amal- gamated with Williamson-Tait he (•i)u\i\ have had 2.r»(M) pounds a year for life, (^ross-examined. Mcintosh (l«'nie<l he had ever committed adul- tery with the leading lady of one of Ills companies or gone for a trip to .\meri(a with her. He adinirted Iu* had given her presents of diamonds to the vslue of hundreds of ))oun(ls. TIs wife knew that he had given her lln*>e presents, .\fier further evidence the jury brought iu a verdict for the defend- ant. G. O. TL. "Chu Chin Chow"; OPERA HOI .«?E. Walter Johnson Co..

Althoagh Johnny Kilbane retained bit fMthcrwelght crown when he ad- ministered the knockout to Danny FruBh, in Clereland, Unt Baturdty, present indications are that the wal- lop that sent Fruab to alumberlaBd probably sounded the death knell for boxing ubi thin ~enQfr The aftermath of the champion- ship bout has left an unsarory odot all around. Blame and severe cen« sure hare becu heaped on the box* ing eomraission for acceding to tho unreasonablti demands of Kiibanc, and Walter Kelly of BufCalo, who acted as the third man in the ring, has come in for u share of the cou- deuinatioQ. Almost at the last minute, Kilbane refused to proceed with the lifht be- cause tiic boxing commission balked on naming two judges acceptable to him. As a couuter-move, the com- mission threatfrned to claim the $5,000 forfeit which Kilbane wiik presumed to have po!^ted for his ap- pearance in the ring according to the ogrcement. But as matters devel- oped it became known that Kilbane had not posted any forfeit, that mat- ter having been attended personally by Tommy McOinty, the promoter. Takins the cue from their receut experience when they permitted a haud-pieked referee—^Jimmy iiard- ner of Lowell, Mubs.—to otliciate in the Wilson-Downey squabble, with disastrous reuuits, the commissiou threuteued to stand on their pre- rogative powers nnd name judges nnd referee. Kut with all their l!ouri»<h of trunipots and bravado, they backetl dowu miserably, giving R8 nn excuse, *lhey didu't want to ili.sjlipoint the faus!" They failed to Hce. however, that had Kilbane refused to go on, the fans would have had th«'ir money refunded, ond tliiii woul<l not have been uiiirh of a blunder, us in any cnse the promoters drop[>ed abiMit ,5-0-00() a.s their share in the fiasco. Thou.sunds, it is de- (lured, stayed nway fron» the fiKhl promptc'.l by tlie uncertainty of Kil- bane's aj)poar:\n( e. After bickerings and bud feeling had been ciificiKlcred all around, the fight did so on, aud the stor^ of the .Mi-rap is now before the funs of the country. The whole affair is out Kre: t black mark as far as the featherweight champion.ship was con- cerned. Not only was Kilbane permitted lo run things pretty much a;s he de- manded, but ill the first round, it is claimed by onlookers and the mov- ing pictures bear out the assertion, the title holder I'onled Frush by ub- ing his knee to the groin. The re- sult ^f this foul was that l>anu> rolled over tjcveral times in the ring writhing with pjin and holding tht> tujured part. It is al^o citrtmeu that while Kelly, the referee, saw whit had happened -and he admits it— he did not penalize Kilbane, neithei di<l he stirt the count on Frush. Somelhii>f was due just at that mo- lueut: either Frush had won on a ftml or he had been knocked down aud should have been counted out. IJut Kelly declared he thought Frubh was stalling, and with a solicitous consideration for the fans, said he WAS there to see that the fans got a run for their money. To any fair-minded fan, either of t h e courses mentioned should have been taken as the result of the foul, Oiul as pro- vided by the rules, but it wos evi- dently a "Kilbane day" from start to finish. Whatever objections Kilbane had to the judges named by the boxing commission was not made quite clear. Sum Hnll of Chicago and Dick Guy of Pittsburg—the commission's selec- tion—have had considerable exper. ienre in fi.«!tic arguments within the squared circle, aud there has never been any question as to their hon- esty, ability or fair-niindednes.<(. Rut these facts had no bearing with Kil- bane; he would not stand for them, he said, and instead of the com- mission asserting their authority, they wobbled and finally capitulated to the whim of th« champion. For his share of the champion- ship proceedings Kilbane demanded $G0.000, win or draw or lose, where- as Danny Frush waa content with a paltry $2,000, which would not be- gin to cover his training and other incidental expenses. What will finally emanate from this mess is conjecture, but is seems to be firmly established in the ntinds of the fight fans aronnd the Cleve- land territory that "once bitten, twice shy*' ia good advice, nnd the boxing supporters have been mauled so severely recently that it would not be surprising if the Indian Mfu were put over public exhibitions of the manly art in that district. "The Wilson-Downey fiasco dem- onatrated the efficacy of the n^. guarantee system of the New York State Athletic Commission and the value of the law under which it ap. eratea, at nothing else could," Com. missioner George K. Morris declared in an interview last week. "No such frost coiild blight the sport in this state," the Commissioner said. ^The contestants would have been forced to gamble wfth the gate; they would have been paid what they could draw to the box office, not what their managers, getting a goodly share of the guarantees, believed they should receive. The winner-loser division of the purse would have forced both men to fight their best, or lose a let of money by failing to do so. If there is in existence any halfway de- ' cent boxer who prefers to take things easy and ^oUect the short ead of the purse, I have not seen er heard of him. As for the champs and near-champs, you know how thtj hate money. "The new rules adoifted by the state athletic coinmi.ssidn cannot fail to give the fans a squarer deal thaa has heretofore been dealt them. For a long time boxers and their mao' agers have forced swollen guarantees from promoters, and the burden has been shiftetl on to patrons in the form of exhorbitant admission prices. And even the big money has not heen enough. Doxers have gone into the ring with a fletermination to collect their "salary" with as little effort as possible and they have done the stall- ing turn to a brown. "The Commission has taken effec- tive steps, I believe, to put an end to. these unfortunate conditions which have wrecked boxing in more than one place. The boxing profiteer has been shown the dx>or and the wings of the etaller hove been clipped. No main-bout contestant ii worth a nickle more than he can draw to the gate and the Commis- siou is here to see that he doesa't get it. The winner-loser division of the purse is the best plan that hts been devi.sed to make boxers shew their best. Tho.^e who do not like our system can ply their trade else- where. The Commission believes that under the new niles a brighter chapter in the history of boxing in New York State will be written." Boston's si)orting fraternity and most of the boxing writers are Kcreaiuiug for the blood of the Bias- suchusettfl Boxing Commission, or te be more correct, for the complete an- nihilation of one member of the three man CQmmisHion. This is a result of the Siegel-Morley bout held here list week. That bout, between welter- weiRhts, was the second the pair h^d participated in within a couple of weeks. After the first one, whkl was held at Salem, the cDmmissios took exci)tion to the decision, which favored Siegel. He was due to ho* Shevlin last week but the commis. sioners ruled he couldn't box Shevjii until after he had boxed Morley agtin. Siegel, in his second bout with Mor- ley, is said to have hod the better of nine out of the ten rounds, accord- ing to every boxing writer, with the Hearst paper gfving him every round. Despite this the deciilos went to ^lorley and when 8i*|«' lost the New England welterweight title there was a general howl IJ being claimed the judges had bowed to what they believed to be the de- sire of the commission. Now 8i«|*' is booked to box Shevlin this we«i in Boston and the fans are of tfc« opinion that the decision he losthH made him all the more popular Sine* the creating of the Massachusettt ronimis«iion there has been consid- erable criticism directed ot one •' the members, it being alleged he »■ a "busybody*' who is doing »•'• harm to the game than had been done to it by either fighters or man- agers In several years past.
