WEIGH CHOSEN REFEREE
FOR WOLGAST-RIvERS GO
That Makes Ed Smith the Most
Probable Choice for john
son-Flynn Bout

+, LOS ANGELES. Calf, June 49,
Tom McCarey, promoter of the Riv-
ers-Wolgast fight here on July 4. to-
day confirmed the reports that Rivers
and Wolgast had agreed on Jack
WEIGH of San Francisco, as referee
Of their coming battle, instead OF
James j. Jeffries. who had tentatively
accepted, late today announced that
he would be unable TO serve and
WEIGH was Immediately selected.
Inasmuch as WEIGH was also be-
lieved TO be the first choice for the
.Johnson-Flynn fight at Las Vegas on
the same day. many think he will pre-
fer to officiate at the heavyweight
contest McCarey, however, is conf
dent that he will agree TO be third
man in the ring here July 4.
The Detroit times., 1912-06-15

LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, June 15.-Jack
WEIGH was thought to be eliminated
as possibility for referee of the
Johnson-Flynn July battle, when
word reached here today that he had
Leen selected as third man In the
ring for the Rivers.Wolgast affair at
Los Angeles on the same day. The
belief here Is that this will make II
certain that Ed Smith, the Chicago
sporting writer, will be the final Sc
lection.

Evidently the Supreme court in handing
down its decree dissolving tie Hartman mer-
ger OF the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
systems was determined that Its decision should
be enforced. Attorney General Understands
statement that 1t was one of the most far
reaching opinions ever handed down must have
referred particularly to the courts direction
for its enforcement. These directions are ex-
plicit and of such a. drastic nature that the
tobacco and oil dissolution Hascos will hardly
be repeated.
Among other things the decree enjoins the
payment OF dividends on any unlawful stock
and provides for receiver to collect such
dividends and sell any stock still held In
violation OF the order of dissolution.
When Justice Day in giving the courts de-
csion said that while the law may not be
able to enforce competition, 1t can reach COM
binations which render competition impracti-
cable" he almost paraphrased the many state
ments of Woodrow Wilson on the subject Of
monopolies during the recent national cam
paign.
The decision and the orders for its enforce
nents is of such nature as to justify Attor-
|ney-General 'Wickersham's characterization of

The selection Of Richmond ~ the next meet
ing place Of the American Automobile associa-
ton speaks well for this city's reputation for
hospitality. for Its ability to provide accom-
modations and conveniences to delegates and
fer the work done by the local automobile
club Tor highway Improvement.
Buffalo and washington sought the privilege
Of the next convention of the association, now
in session In Chicago. and that Richmond
should have won over these means that Rich

the Chamber Of Commerce. which has given
this city reputation rs one Of tho best con-
vention cities OF the country: to Messrs. Rich

PEACE FOR A PRICE.

II the European nations which are so busily
engaged just now in protesting that they de-
sire nothing but peace are sincere. they write
themselves down devoid of any claim to
diplomacy or ability. To avoid war is the
easiest thing the powers have to do now and
apparently the last thing that they wish to
do. They want peace. every last one Of them,
il they can get what they want in the way
OF territory or prevent the other fellow from
ard unselfish dealing.
For years the powers of Europe had the
opportunity to remove one OF the greatest
causes OF uneasiness in Europe. Turkey kept
the dove OF peace flying over the continent
afraid to light anywhere, but the old-school
diplomats did not know how to get rid OF
aer, except through the practice of little
frankness and unselfshness. and these are
qualities apparently unknown to European
diplomacy. Now the despised Balkan states
have performed the work that Christian Europe
refused to do and Immediately there is dis
position ON the part OF Germany, Austria and
sussia to get slice OF the booty they were
Greed. selfshness and jealousy stand in the
way of peace. II Austria can get what she
wants and maintain peace Austria wants no
var. II Germany can prevent Great Britain
from placing Egypt under formal protec-
Itcrate and prevent Russia from getting what
she wants without war then Germany wants
peace. II Russia can get control Of CONSTANT

New York. Aug. 1s.-Three heavy
weight battles of ten rounds each will

tomorrow night. Joe Jeanette. who
is believed to have a chance to whip
Jack johnson when they come together
here next month. will meet Jeff Mad
den. a Boston heavy who has con
vinced many ring judges that he pos
sesses natural fighting ability and can
hit like the kick of a mule. Jeannette
cannot afford to let the fellow stay the
limit, but 1t remains 10 be seen whether
Madden can be stopped or not.
Madden weighs 2l9 pounds, while Jean
nette scales 1875.
Luther McCarty. one of our budding

rounds with Arthur Pelky. a dangerous
young slugger from Chicopee. Mass.
McCarty. who stopped Carl Morris.

Jim Stewart two weeks ago, but he
wasn't signally whipped, and is anxiou,
for another match. McCarty also wants
to get on with Palzer. For these rea-
sons McCarty is going after Pelky tC
prove that his victory over Morris was
not a fiuke. McCarty weighs 20i and
tage in height and reach, but not in ex-
perience.
Tom Kennedy, who hasn't been seen
in the ring since Bombadier Wells beat
him, is coming in a scrap with Jim Saw

and punch to back it.
