There Is no truth In the rumors
that Chrlsty-Mathewson, the former

cording to Dr. Edward N. Packard,
who Is attending Mathewson. '
"Mathewson Is merely in bed for
a few days' rest, because of a slight
fever," Dr. Packard said today.
"There Is nothing alarming or start

following the usual routine for tu
berculosis patients under like conditions."

This plan was announced at a
meeting of the commission today at

for pinning down another rather un
willing champion to a title bout with
his logical challenger.
Mickey Walker was before the
solons and agreed to meet Dave
. Shade in the east some time this
summer. Shade has signed to box
at the Polo Grounds early in the
fall, against Walker, Harry Greb or
Paul Berlenbach. Nothing defin
ite was settled, because Walker said
rather sheepishly he "had to talk to
a party," the same being Jack
Kearns, his new manager. The com
mission doesn't recognise Kearns'
claim to handle Mickey's affairs.
