Jim Jeffries, former heavy
weight champion, is being con-
sidered as referee for the bout in
New York, March II, between
Jess Willard and Frank Moran.
Tex Richard, promoter of the
bout, says husky fellow will be
needed to properly handle the
big battlers. He figures Jeff has
the size and strength and has
been in enough bouts to know
the duties of a referee.
IL Jeff gets the job, his APP
pearance in the ring will be his
first break into the limelight
since he was beaten by Jack
Johnson.
Charles White, a well known
referee, has been tentatively Sc
lected for the job, but there is
said to be some chance that he
will not be the third man in the
ring when the gong rings for the
big event.

MYSTERY
DEEPENS

SEATTLE, Feb. 15.-Bob
Brown, manager of the Vancou-
yer Beavers, today denied posi-
lively a statement published by
one of the Seattle sport writer's
Sunday that he was ready to
throw up the Vancouver fran
chise and take HIS team to Great
Falls. Mont, until after the
war. -
Brown, in an interview, de-.
clares that the Vancouver team
will remain in the British Column
bia city this season, and that he
has never had any idea of goirg
to Great Falls.
Brown is known to be in favor
of dropping Tacoma entirely
from the Northwestern league,
as is Joe McGinnity. If Van
couver stays in the league, and IL
Great Falls is admitted, there
will be five cities with franchises.
No indication has yet come from,
Tacoma that the residents of that
city want baseball to continue.
President Blewet was in Great
Falls last night, where the deal
for admitting that city to the
league is practically completed.
He started home today. and on
his return to Seattle 1t is hoped
that some of the mystery con-
corning the plans of the N. w.
league will be cleared up.
