Judging iroin the testimony giv

'ing yesterday afternoon in the
tfnU,4 t0 investigate the authrn
're? of assertion that the Schlaif
Jvl urfliy fight was "fixed" or oth
'.FwUe "iii'the sack." OY Dame Ku-
, mor was rW busy person the day
following tie fight.
Of the V) witnesses who testified
brfore State lioxhur Commissioner
"Lum" Doyle am) the remainder of
the commission yesterday, not a am
gte prron gave any testimony that
would lead the commission to be
lieve the recent Schlaifer-Murphy
tight was "fixed."
Ai oon at a witnes comfortably
seated himself before the state com
missioner he a asked if he knew
the fiht was "fixed," all of which
brought this reply:
Heard Some One Say.
"I heard some one say that he
heard some one else say that some
one eUe got it from some one that
the- fight was 'fixed."
After more than two hours' of
questioning on the part of State Box
ing Comniissioiu-r "Lum" Doyle, no
conclusive proof was submitted that
the fight was "framed." All the
testimony given the commission was
hearsay.
Although he seated himself in the
witness chair, Tom Dennisou refused
to testify. He challenged the author
ity of the commission to .summons
and question witnesses. -V
The i challenge, which was made
through Dennison'a attorney, W. J.
Connell, was not contested by the
commission. .;
Attorney Connell,. however, read
the law to the commission from the
statute books. When he concluded,
there was considerable doubt among
the spectators if the commission real
ly had the power to subpoena wit
nesses. Dennison Refuses to Talk. .
'. Dennison w as summoned before
the commission because of state
ments attributed to him that he had
definite information that the fight
was a "fake."
The large ocrwd of spectators
came to life when Dan Butler took
the stand.
The city commissioner said that he
had no definite information that the
fight was "fixed," but that he had
heard rumors to the effect that the
fight was "in the sack." '...,'"
"Did you attend the fight?" But
ler was asked.
"I did not attend the first Schlaif-'
rr-Murphy or the second Schlaifer
Murphy fight," Dan replied. .. . :
"Why?" he was asked. . .: -,
. "Because I had come to the con
clusion that both fights were 'fixed.'
1 had passes, but I don't like the
promoter." The promoter o, fthe
Second Schlaifer-Murphy fight was
tKe Douglas County Post of the
American Legion.)
s "I don't like Jake Isaacson or 'Pat
Boyle. They are a menace to the
right game. They are trying to get
a corner on boxing in Omaha" said
Butler.' , .
The city commissioner's testimony
that Isaacson and Boyle were trying
to get a monopoly on boxing in this
city brought a reply from another
corner of the room when Jake Isaac
son shouted: -. . . v
Get Excited.
; "You're a liar."
"You call mc that when you are
on the other side of the table," yelled
Butler, looking Isaacson straight in
the eye.
"I'll call you that down on the
street, too," "fired back Isaacson. ,
The coast was cleared for further
testimony after a policeman made
his appearance.
The only testimony given that Sec
retary Antles believes can be Used to
further the investigation was made by
Butler. .. ,
The secretary of the .Elks' athletic
committee quoted Billy Rolfe, local
welterweight boxer, as asserting that
he had betn informed by a detective
while in Denver that the fight was
"in the sack." --
The -commission will trace this
testimony, it was said.
... R. A. Jones, cigar clerk;-was call
ed to testify. He informed the com
mission that he "heard" the fight was
"fixed." However, when asked who
told him the tight was "fixed," he
said that he didn't know.
After being excused, Jones insist
ed in asking the commission the rea
son why he couldn't buy any tickets
to the coming Schlatfer-Shadc fight.
Referee Leo Shea, third man in the
ring during the recent quarrel, said
that the fighters were over cautious,
and that as far as he knew, the bat
tle was on the square.
Dr. Lee Van Camp, Jim Shana
han, Dave Roberts, Fred Carey and
Neil Murray testified that they didn't
"have anv definite information that the
bout was "fixed."
' Secretary Antles said following the
Hearing, that the investigation would
continue until it was decided to the
satisfaction of ' the commission that
