news
from USA. however, that the Boxing Commission has decided to suspend Braddock and his manager, Joe Gould, for an in- definite period and to impose a fine of U.S.$1,000, has given certain satisfaction.
"The New York Boxing Commis- sion," says the "Berliner Tage- blatt," "has given Messrs. Brad- dock. and Gould the answer they deserve. In the eyes of all decent thinking sportsmen this 'world champion' is a back number." Further comments suggest that this suspension is only a first measure and that Braddock will be more severely punished later.--Trans- Ocean.
