He would like Mr. Dobbertln or any other manager who arranges a game with us to either bring his team on the day to play or notify us within a few days. CLARK STATION WHITE SOX. "TEX" RIGKARD UEFFRIES - San Francisco, May 17. After an exceedingly stormy discussion. In which Jack Johnson and Manager Sam Berger were the principals, Tex Rickard was -mutually agreed upon as referee of the Jeffries-Johnson boxing match next 4th of July. Rlckard's name was proposed by Johnson when It was very evident that the two sides would not agree on any of the other names submitted. At first Berger refused to accept Rickard on the score that the promoter of the big contest lacked experience In Judging ring events. The seemingly interminable wrangle which characterized the proceedings began again, and at one time there seemed to be danger of a personal encounter between the disputants. Berger and Johnson were on their feet and both had agreed that there waa no earthly prospect of reaching an agreement, when Berger suddenly said: "You say you will take Tex Rickard for referee?" "I certainly will," said Johnson. "Then we will accept Rickard," announced Berger. There was an immediate cessation of hostilities and a general shaking of hands. When Rlckard's name was first men. tioned, Berger, without intimating how the nomination appealed to him, turned and said to Tex: "Are you willing to act as referee?" "I will, for the reason that you do not seem to be able to decide upon any one else," answered the man from Nevada. "If I accept It, It will be with the understanding that if Jeffries and United States Metals Refining Co.'s Team Beats the Standard Steel Car Nine in Exciting Game Sunday Morning. The Calurnet Industrial league, a newly organized league composed of eight teams, the names of which wej"e printed in The Times some time ago, opened their 1910 season Sunday morning at the Standard grounds. The first game was played between the Standard nine and the United States Metal "Works, the latter winning after an exciting arame by a count of 6 to 4. The United States Metal Refining company's team now heads the list In the newly organized league. The teams who compose the Industrial league are the best men that could be secured from the different factories in the region. Both nines clouted the horsehlde at will in the first game Sunday, but he excellent support given the pitchers kept the score from being much larger. Score: S. S. C. Co.

TWO GAMES CARDED. At a meeting of the Amateur Managers' Baseball league, last night at 134 Van Buren street, the following games werescheduled with Lake county teams: Hammond A. A. Vs. Whitney Colts, at Fortieth avenue and Thlrty-flrst street. Rlverviews vs. Indiana Harbor, at Indiana Harbor. East Side Maroons vs. Smith Colts, at Calumet Park. 10 REFEREE JDHNSON FIGHT Johnson can agree upon some other suitable man in the meantime, I will be permitted to withdraw." "When the matter- was finally settled Rickard advanced the same argument, but Johnson held that so far as he was concerned the referee matter was settled. The colored fighter remarked further that it was absolutely necessary that the referee incident be considered closed and the news of the selection given "broadcast to the world." Sam Berger seemed to regard the thing in the same light, and Rickard thereupon said: "Well, I guess I may as well look upon myself as the regularly appointed referee." A suspicion exists, however, that Rickard, who has no particular love for the prospect, will use his endeavors to have the big fighters select some other ringmaster between now and the date of the fight. Temperate .discussion of the matter In hand was noticeably absent from yesterday's meeting at the Seal Rock House. There was, In fact, about five per cent of pertinent argument and about ninety-five per cent of balderash. 'Johnson, who was In a grand stand humor. Insisted upon the public being admitted to the proceedings and it was palpable that many of his speeches were made for efTect. Berger resented what he described as "Johnson's plays for sympathy," and Indulgence In "low comedy," and as Johnson insisted on talking at Berger and to the crowd, the temper of Jeffries" manager became ruffled more than once. COLE MASTERS DOVES, CUBS ABENEARER TOP "King" Holds Boston to Four Hits and Checks Serious Rally. Cole put his broad shoulders to the wheel yesterday and shoved the cubs back into the first division. "King" was in his element, as he forced the Boston doves to give ground. Only four hits could they rake off his curves, and two of these came in the last inning, accompanied by many thrills. The score, 4 to 3, serves to indicate that mighty deeds were performed. Incidentally the series wound up in an even break, something of a novejty for Boston in these parts. To do them the fullest Justice, it must be admitted the cubs should have had more counts. Nine hits and five passes were enough to bring in twice four under ordinary circumstances. They walloped hard and were speedy on the bases. Three double plays cut into them, however, and so did a couple of hit-and-run affairs which missed ' fire. "Buster" Brown was lucky to escape alive after the fifth round, when four well directed smashes followed in rapid succession. Sweeney's stab of a floater and a resultant double play cut off a stupendous assault by the Chlcagoans. A youth named Parsons relieved him at the start of the next page, and held the cubs helpless. Comparatively few fans braved the threatening skies and the chill air. But the most faithful of the enthusiasts were there, and they received an awful scare In the ninth. The cubs had been leading, 4 to 1. Then Cole weakened for a moment. To begin witlf Schulte nailed Shean's short fly and Herzog came through with a sharp grounder toward the pitcher. Cole fell in a heap trying to grab It. (Sweeney drew trans- ' portatlon. Cole then steadied for a moment and fanned Beck. This was i an artistic bit, one that will be long j remembered. SOX DRAW SHORT END Lose to Athletics, 6 to 1, Making It 11 Straight for Philadelphia. J Philadelphia, May 17. There never was any doubt about the outcome of yesterday's game between the white sox and the athletics, for the Mack men took the lead in the second inning and kept increasing it until they had the score 6 to 1 at the finish. There waa hardly any contest to it, for the sox played like a bunch of prairie leaguers out for their first practice. Frank Smith was given the worst beating of the season and had to retire before the end of the fray with eight hits and five runs against him

PATHFINDER CAR REACHES DETROIT Detroit, . May 17. After thirty-three days of steady driving, In which time he covered 3,173 miles, Joe Gardham yesterday brought the Chalmers "30," official pathfinder tor the 1910 Glldden tour. Into Detroit. He drove not only the 2,860 miles of the tour Itself, but also brought the car from Chicago to Detroit. The reception of the official pathfinder In this city was one of the most enthusiastic ever accorded an automobile. An escort of twenty-eight touring ears, headed by Mayor Brietmeyer, Abner Larned, president of the board of commerce, and Hugh Chalmers, president of the Chalmers Motor company, met the pathfinder seven miles out of Detroit. The reception given the pathfinder was cosmopolitan in every respect, the Detroit Auto Dealers' association, the Detroit Motor club, the board of commerce and private owners Joining in the welcome. Some idea of the car'a condition may be gained from the fact that the Chal mers Motor, Car company has entered the same car to, contest for the Glld den trophy. This is the first time in
