They couldn't or cast aside an opportunity of participating tn show which will mean perhaps 01600 to them Theirs is the boxing hey must accept whatever dates are offered especially after the original date has been Changed three or four tihies Ptlklngton and McMahon feel worse about this conflict of dates than one can imagine They are both very partial to the Acorn club and wire mighty anxious to see that organisation coming affair a decided iueces They had both agreed and gladly to officiate On that night The Flash was to have been tha referee and Dennle with Doran waa to have blen a judge Everyone surely Is sincerely sympathetic with both parties to the conflict and it is earnestly hoped that the Acorn club cm see fit to postpone their show to another date The following written by us early in th evening before the final announcement was made still goes: "Up to last night Ptlklngton and McMahon had not agreed with the New Haven promoters on the exact date of the Shugrue go In th Arena The question and the trouble comes from the 26th the night on which the Acorn A will stage its amateur carnival In the town hall And that it the date wanted by the promoters and by Joe Shugrue who handles th business for his brother Johnny who has been ill and who needs all squeexable time in which to recuperate The Meriden parties to the contract abject vigorously to the 26th their reasons being sincere desire to in no way hurt the Acorn show and also a wish to have all Meriden people possible at tbs ringside Consequently there Is a deadlock The promoters tremble at th thought of again asking the commission to sanction another change of data We can understand their trembling And Joe Shugrue won stand for any night earlier In Ihe week on the grounds that Johnny needs every extra minute in which to completely recover from his nines And what Is to the rasult? If there Is no change If the New Haven show is run on the 26th the Acorn club will be hit mighty hard And the Pllklngton-fihugrue box office will suffer somewhat Of course th Arena card will not be the great loser that the Aeorna will be But if if is In any way possible we do hope that Pllkfngton and McMahon will able to arraag a shift of tha Naw Haven data from the 26 th Real assured you Aeorna that Charlie and Dennle will do all In (heir power Of course they can't throw aside a bout which will 'mean more than 01006 to them No one not even the president of the Acorn club would expect tMl
