is CAPTAIN FRANK DILLON
AFFLICTED WITH PARESlS?
silly Statement Made That He Refuses
to Allow Team to Recognize
Umpire Davis

1t is alleged that Capt. Frank Dillon
of the Los Angeles club has mighty
little use for Umpire ]. Ira Davis. This
information comes from the north.
where, it is said, patrons of the game
there have several times witnessed evil
dence of Dillon's contempt for the
bumptious umpire. Their dislike for
each other took on such proportions, 1t
is stated, that at one time they were
close to airing their differences before a
conference of the powers, but the mat
ter was dropped.
The doughty captains dislike for the
umpire seems to have grown, however,
for word comes from Portland that
Dillon has issued a ukase to his team
to the effect that each member is
warned not to speak or recognize In
any way Umpire Davis In public places,
on the street or anywhere else under
penalty Of a $40 fine.
Fans In this city do not believe that
Dillon has issued any such apparently
absurd decree as this and will not be-
lleve It until he says so himself. II
such an order has gone forth there will
probably be found very good reason
for 1t, for Dillon's good sense has never
deserted him.

JAMES J.JEFFRIES
To REFEREE FIGHT
CHAMPION WILL DECIDE THE
BRITT-NELS0N BOUT
CHOSEN BY FLlPPlNe COIN
After Three Days Session TO Name a
Referee, Willie Britt and Nolan
Use a Primitive
Method
Bv Aaaocinted Prear.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 28-James
j. Jeffries has been decided upon to
referee the Britt-Nelson fight at Colma
September 9. Nelson's manager stood
out for George Siler and Britt's
brother insisted upon Jeffrles. Finally
a coin was tossed and Britt won. JEFF
fries has not been heard from on the
proposition.
When called up on the telephone
last night Jeffries stated that he would
act as chief justice of the conflict If
there was money enough in 1t for him.
When asked how much he demanded
he said that would be telling"
II haven't been notified that I have
been chosen to act as referee" said
Jeffries, but 1 will probably take the
place If there is enough in it to make
It worth my while.
The big man simply laughed at the
assertions made by Nolan that he was
too inexperienced as referee to be
acceptable. Nolan had stated at the
meeting Saturday that Jeffries had not
had enough experience and added that
"the best actor does not always make
the best critic"
The controversy over referee which
resulted in the tossing Of a coin to de-
eide the important question had lasted
since Saturday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
and the management of the Colma
Athletic club had about come to the
conclusion that it would have to name
the referee and accept the $2500 forfeit
money that each side put up to guar
antee the choice of a referee two weeks
before the night of the fight.
Wanted Fight, Not Money
The forfeit money was in the hands
of the stakeholder and when after an
all days session between Willus Britt
and Billy Nolan that did not end until
midnight and no referee had been
chosen, Cofforth gently limited that
there was a total of $4,000 coming to him
IL the referee was not chosen by the
time the two hands of the clock came
together. But Cofforth didn't want
that $4,000. He was looking for bigger
game and feared that If he was COM
PEELED to name the referee the fight
might not be held so he consented to
waive the forfeit privileges until 7:3O
O'clock Sunday night if the two man
ayers could come together by that
time.
Another session was held Sunday and
when the time limit rolled around Will
lus Britt and Nolan were still at log
gerheads with no probability of de-
cIsion. Almost in despair Cofforth
granted another stay of time until 1880
O'clock last night and 1t was after
that time when the decision was made
by Tipping the coin.
