REFEREE MAY BE SELECTED TODAY FORTITLE GO Willard Holds Up Decision, Claims Right to Name Third Man in Ring. TOLEDO, 0 June 25. SelecUoa of a referee, for the heavyweight championship contest between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey here July 4, may be announced today. Tex Rickard, promoter, is to make a determined effort to obtain a list of ring officials acceptable ta Willard and the Toledo Boxing Commission, -which must be consulted before a final selection is made. Jack Kearna. manager of Dempsey, last night furnished Rickard and officials of the Army, Navy and Civilian board of boxing control a list of officials acceptable to the challenger. The list included Billy Roche. of New York; Jack Skelly. Yonkers. N. Y.; Jack "Welch, of Sanfrancisco; Ollie Pechard. of Toledo; Kid McHartle, of New York; Walter Kelly, of Buffalo. N. Y.; Bill BrowiC of New York, and Jim Griffin, of San Francisco. Welch was referee of the Willard-Johnson championship contest In Havana.

Willard Is Obstacle.. - Willard, it developed today, is proving the main obstacle in holding up the selection of a referee. Willard, it was said, is claiming the right, by virtue of the fact that he is champion, to name the third man In the ring. The champion's contensions are not conceded either by RickardVKearns or officials of the boxing control obard. Rickard has reached the conclusion that the present.uncertainty and delay in selecting a referee will be detrimental to interest in the xontest and for this reason desires to have the question settled at once. If a definite selection is not agreed upon today, it was said that formal announcement of the choice would be made later from New York by Major A. J. Drexel Biddie, president, of the boxing control board. Referee Only. Despite the plans of the boxing control board to have a referee and two judges decide the contest, it was regarded as almost certain today that the bout will be judged solely by a referee. Neither Willard nor Kearns favor the judge plan.- Kearns said that judges, sitting oueside the ring would be in no position to give a verdict on the bout. "They would be unable to tell what damage Dempsey's blows did, where the blows landed or if Willard made a deliberate attempt to force his weight on Dempsey to wear him down," Kearns said. "A referee would be In position to determine these points." Boxing experts were agreed today that Dempsey, in his workout yesterday showed vast improvement. Perhaps it was because he was celebrating his twenty-fourth birthday. However, the challenger's work was fast and furious throughout. He boxed six rounds and gave Sergeant Bill sparring partners, a severe jolting. Tate and the Jamaica Kid, negro sparring partners, a severe jolting. Willard's workout was not impressive. He boxed ten tame rounds and did not extend himself at any time. PALL IS DEFEATED IN WILD CONTEST It was a crushing defeat the Pall team received from the Item, 9 to 4, Tuesday, evening, at Exhibition park. The fiasco started briskly with Motley, pitching for the Item, handing out two straight free tickets to first. In this frame three runs were scored and only one in the next, after which the. Palladium subsided for good. In the second. Suits' support in the field proved poor. OZ two errors and two hits the Item scored three times, making the count 4 to 4. In the third a two-base hit by Pickell, an error on the Pall and three singles in rapid succession gave the Item a three run lead which the Pall never overcame. The last frame was also full of errors, as was the ffrst. Suits who was weakeningrSIlowed five of the eleven hits gleaned off him in this one inning, scoring three more run3. PallRadke, AB. R. H. PO.
