Ban Firecrackers, Pigeons At Arena NEW YORK lift — Pigeons and firecrackers will be officially banned Thursday from future TV bouts at St. Nicholas Arena because of Monday night’s disorders that resulted in the hospitalization of two spectators, one ar* rest and the egg-pelting of ringsiders. Deputy Boxing Commissioner Joe Tepper today ordered promoter Teddy Brenner, welterweight Eddie Lynch and manager Bill Carfaro to appear at commission headquarters Thursday for a “dressing down." Lynch of New York, who has a large and noisy following known as “Pandemonium, Inc.,” lost a split eight-round decision to Danny (Bang Bang) Russo of Brooklyn Monday night. It was a bloody fight, during which Russo’s equally noisy Brooklyn followers were alleged to have thrown the eggs—hens’ eggs—not pigeons’! Two spectators, struck by thrown chairs, were having their injuries x-rayed today at Roosevelt hospital, where they were taken in an ambulance from St. Nick’s. Abraham Lessner suffered a torn scalp and possible skull fracture. Nick Gravina sustained a compound fracture of the nose. Both are New Yorkers. Promoter Brenner was surprised that the Lynch and Russo followers got out of hand. At previous Lynch bouts, his followers had been noisy with their released pigeons, fu ecrackers. bugles, stamping and yelling; but nothing had been thrown. Russo, weighing 148 pounds to Lynch’s 151. won an upset split decision after suffering a deep and bloody gash on his cheek in the fourth round. Lynch's left brow was cut in the seventh. • ■_ i ,'T *■*'. 4 National League W L Pct.
