conference Wednesday night between
MeCarey, Of the Pacific Athletic Club;
Bill Nolan. representing Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien. and Tommy Burns 1t was
agreed that Charley Eyton should
referee the O'Brien Burns fight on

as referee. When Eyton was informed
that he had been agreed on TO referee,
he refused TO officiate unless paid s.. 900
for his services. McCarey would not
agree TO these terms. and the matter
went over until yesterday, when. after
a long conference between McCarey and
Eyton, an agreement was reached on a
certain sum. the amount OF which was
not given out, but which IS said 10 be
twice the ordinary stipend received by
Eyton as the clubs regular referee
