New York Fight Body to Hold Private Inquiry Ric kard ,Asked to Appear Be fore Body at Special Meeting When Secret Investiga tion Is Finished. Now York, Feb. 27—The New York state athletrc commission announced today it will hold a private investi gation into the charges of ticket speculation at the time of the Demp sey-FIrpo fight last fall. The charges were made against Tex Rickard, pro moter, by Tom O’Rourke. Rickard, visiting the commission to demand a hearing and full investigation, wax asked to appear before the body at a special meeting to be called when the private Investigation is com pleted. The commission today took two titles out of cold storage. Joe Lynch, bantamweight champion and his man ager, Eddie Mead, and Mickey Walk er's manager, Jack Bulger, appeared, before the commission, on a summons nnd It was agreed that both boxers would defend their titles in bouts suggested by the hoard. Lynch was signed to meet Abe Gold stein on March 21, while Bulger act ing for Walker, agreed to meet any leading welterweight suggested by the commission on or before May 5. The commission left the matter of sites to the principals and the in terested promoters. Walker's sus pension in New Jersey does not expire until April 1 and for that reason he was given until May 6 to defend his title. When told of a public Investigation •onceming O’Rourke’s charges against Rickard to be held before a commis sion of the state assembly next Tues day, Chairman Brower said that It would not deter the commission’s pri vate investigation. In the event trie commission found anyone guilty of violating its rules, he said, prompt disciplinary action would be taken and in the event of a criminal violation the facts would be (urned over to District Attorney Banton of New York.
