opponents but four hits. all of which were

CAN'T AGREE ON REFEREE
JEFFRIES INSISTS ON EDDIE
SMITH BEING CHOSEN.
Johnson Wants Graney or Welsh
Promoters May Have to Make
Selection.

BEN LOMOND, Cal. May 11.-There is
little doubt in the minds of Ben Lomond
camp outsiders that Tex Richards visit
here was expressly for the purpose of
sounding Jim Jeffries on the referee
question.
Just before leaving for San Francisco
yesterday Richard was prevailed upon to
discuss the situation.
"Jeffries," he said, tells me that he
will stand by Eddie Smith for referee
as long as he has leg to stand on. He
also says that if Smith is not chosen he
will have to look to some eastern man.
Jeffries seemed determined to win his
point
Richard seemed worried. He had no
hope Of Johnson agreeing to Smith or to
any one other than his choice, Graney
or WEIGH
Il am in favor of Californian for the
third man in the ring continued Rick
ard, but. of course. neither Gleason nor
myself has anything to say in the mat
ter unless the principals fail to get to-
gether. If they can't agree on a Cali
fornian and make necessary the selec-
ton of an easterner, it will be no fault
of ours
This talk of an eastern man has re-
vived the rumor that Charley White of
New York will prove the dark horse on
WnOm DOtH SIDES can agree.
Mrs. Jeffries' visit to the gymnasium
yesterday seemed to infuse new spirit
into the fighters work. and he made things
so warm for Bob Armstrong and Joe
Choynski that both sparring partners
were glad when the bouts were over.
May Stop Fight.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 11.-Inter-
est of local enthusiasts in Jack john
sons training operations is partly eclips-
ed by the approaching fight between
Billy Papke, the illinois Thunderbolt,'
and Joe Thomas, the California middle
weight. Johnson himself is showing
much interest in that contest and par
the same gymnasium that the negro
champion is using.
Johnson. his manager and the pro-
moters of the big Emeryvile battle are
anxiously watching a movement that has
originated in San Mateo county to stop
the Thomas-Papke go. 1t Is reported that
the district attorney is preparing to pre-
vent the fight as a result of pressure eX-
erted by anti-fght crusaders, and that
it may be transferred from Coffroth's
Colma arena to this city and reduced
from twenty five rounds to twenty.
In view of the campaign making to
stop the big fight itself. the recent fatal
termination Of the Mccarthy Moran con-
test and other hostile influences at work,
all who are interested in the Jeffries-
Johnson battle are displaying much con-
Germ over the outcome of the Papke-
Thomas difficulty.
Johnson finished his long road run yes
terday perspiring freely, but in better
trim than after his Monday jaunt His
road work and light gymnasium exercise
will be continued throughout the week
and Is expected to put him in shape for
his first boxing bout next Sunday.

a whole lot of satisfaction and good bust

The White Sox today present a team, of
youngsters. Only on the pitching staff are
veterans to be found. The team probably
won't be fighting for the flag this year,
but 1t will be developing all the time and
next year may be a winner. 1t was so
with the Cubs when they started out
with the Chance-Evers-Tinker combina-
ton. They were a green lot, but in time
they developed into one of the grandest
ball teams i'm the history of the game.

did he grabbed all he could get. and I'm

Women are inclined to fall INTO a
mistaken idea that any pain about the
hips or i'll the small of the back is
female weakness" and must be en-
dured as trouble peculiar to the sex
Such patience is noble, but too often
unnecessary and unwise.
Kidney weakness, in man or woman,
will cause backache, sharp twinges
when STOPPING or lifting, bearing-down
pains, fits OF blues" nervousness, diz-
zy spells, headaches, urinary disorders
and swelling of the ankles or limbs.
This is the point: Do not worry over
supposed female weakness until you
are very sure it is not kidney disease
that is causing your troubles. The
nature of woman's life and work
makes her fall an easy victim of
kidney sickness. The bending and
STOPPING of housework, the tight
clothing worn, the strain of childbirth
and worry of rearing children, the in
door life, colds, fevers and constipa-
ton, all wear and weaken the kidneys.
Backache, or any such irregularity
as the too frequent desire to urinatc,
painful or scalding passages or sedi-
ment in the urine is good cause to
Judge that you have weak kidneys.
Then begin using Doan's Kidney
Pills, which have brought new life and
strength to thousands of women. 1t
