(By CHARLES J. BRlLL)

It's get to be a man with ma
tonal reputation who keeps Pete
Herman and Nate Jackson from biting
ears gouging eyes, stepping on toes
or sending thcm home below the belt
and otherwise Judging the bantam
weight CHAMPIONSHIP fracas as Asso-
ciauon park next Monday night.
Yes. stree.
The demand comes from tho cham
plon himself and for some foolish
reason or other II has come 10 be the
custom in these days OF relationships
TO permit the man with the crown To
say lust what's what SO Bert Con
ners Is out OF a chance to pick up
some easy money and Red Walsh and
sammy Samson are on the brink OF
but not quite into real managerial
spat. But those managerial spats
generally superinduccd by the referee
question, are even more customary
than champion dictators and the fact
that JRckson's manager departed yes
terday afternoon to be gone two days
without making a selection of one Of
the three men with national reputa-
tions" whom Walsh submitted to him
occasioned no uneasiness: neither did
II disturb either ~ the principals or
cause them To consider relaxing for
an instant their diligence In training.
samson Doesn't Care, hut
Guess we ought to stand for most
anybody or anything" said samson
yesterday when Informed that Herman
was going to demand a change In ref
creeS That seems TO be one OF the
penalties a fellow must accept for
steering 4 near champion instead OF
champion. Just why they should take
a sudden notion to ditch Corners Is
mere than | can understand, They
certainly are not afraid he Will favor
Nate. are they He was their first
choice and | agreed To him ultho cv-
everybody knows he belongs 10 the
bunch who have been pulling against
Jackson in every bout ne has had In
Tulsa this summer However,
should worry Still, I'll lust take tho
field under consideration until | come
back again"
That was the way Samson expressed
himself yesterday just before climbing
into a little red wagon" OF the gaso-
line variety in which he had come
from oklahoma City yesterday morn
ing and which was 10 carry him on
20 Fairfax. where he goes to direct
Tom Storie in toniGhts battle against
frankie Adams. lie expects to re-
turn Thursday.
In making his request for referee
OF national reputation. Walsh yes
terday declared that he was not want
ing 70 seem arbitrary nor was he
wanting TO pick man whom he thot
would favor the champion
Too Much at stake.
ITS simply matter OF good bust
ness and self protection" asserted the
champions manager When | first
made the match | thot Il little mat
tered who should referee the bout. |
didn't take things very seriously. Tor
IL looked TO me, Judging by the way
Herman had improved since he last
met Jackson, that the kid would have
little trouble winning in walk so
that there should I've no need NJ a ref
cree TO decide fine points How
ever, since ] have been around hero
in Tulsa I find nv good Judges OF
boxers think Jackson has improved
Just as much rs has Herman. That
being the case !, cannot jeoparilze
Herman's title which he fought SO
long and hard FOR. by seeing anyone
i1 there who could possibly make
mistake Il w.l demand a man who
IS specials az the business u ref
eree!ng and tha, is what want.

and Just 10 prove H. have SUBJ

a veteran referee Of experience. in
tegrity and ability g. one Harry
Stout OF Milwaukee. the Official ref
cree Of the Wisconsin boxing commits
sion, is another. and Sam Goldman
OF New Orleans, one OF the best ref
erees In the south. is the third"
While Walsh and Samson fused
and spatted the promoters plunged
into the heavy work ahead OF them
The first thing done was TO prepare
the seat plate. which carries $3.50
tickets. II was announced that the
seats would be on sale this morning
In the lobby OF the Brady hotel.
