Sydney, N. S. W.t Dec. 22. Tommy
Burns and Jack Johnson are squabbling
over the selection of a referee for the
big heavyweight championship battle which is but four days away. Several names have been suggested thus far, but the two men have been unable to agree on any one man. Burns wants R. L. Baker, the well known Australian boxer, to officiate as the third man in the ring. Johnson'has objected to Baker, but has given no reason for his refusal to accept him. There is little fear that the hitch over the referee question will prevent the fight. The sporting editor of the Sydney Referee will select the official, provided the men are unable to reach agreement between themselves.

(Special to Ths Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Dec. 22. Manager Fred Heintz yesterday purchased the uniforms for the new "Calumet" roller polo team, who will play the Harbor aggregation at the Lewis' rink In this city on Thursday evening. The suits comprise a cardinal skull cap, gray sweater jackets, with maroon trousers and present a very attractive, yet nobby, appearance. The boys are playing hard for the first game and not a little talent is being developed. The game on Thursday should draw a good
crowd from both this city and the Harbor, who have been taking an interest in the latter team for several weeks. The line-up of the new "Calumets" is as follows: First rush, Fred Heintz; second rush.
Will Carroll; center, Charles Mitchell; half, Morgan; goal tender, Barker or Kimball; substitutes, C. Smith and Val Brown. Commencing : next Monday and lasting until Friday evening. Fielding and
Carlos, America's greatest costume skat
ing team, will appear at the Lewis' rink. The atractlons will be held both at the matinee and evening sessions, and as they have been brought to East Chicago at an enormous expense, it s but right that Manager Heintz should be awarded the patronage of local roller enthusiasts. There will be a ladies' race at the rink this evening, a gentlemen's race on Friday evening and the big masquerade party on - New Year's eve, at which arrangements will be made for the reception of at least 300 people. Manager Heintz is working night and day in an effort to give the people their money's worth and is making a splendid success at his work. The rink floor is now in excellent condition and is nightly filled with from 100 to 200 skaters, who find in the rink a pleasant place to spend an evening after a hard day's work.

Kelly carried but one scar from his gruelling battle with Papke, and that was a slight sratch on one of his ears. He left last night for Antioch, 111., where he will hunt until time for him to start west again to train for Ketchel when the battle is definitely arranged.
