SPORT NOTES
HAVE THREE REFEREES
Report Tex Rickard Planning Two
Judges Outside of Ring.

New York, May 21.-Tex Richard,
reports have it today, wants to do
something new when he stages the
bout between Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey at Toledo. July 4. He is con-
sidering the plan of placing a couple
OF judges outside the ring to give de-
cision as is done in amateur bouts. In
case the judges disagree, the report
goes. Tex intends the referee to give
decision.
1t seems the good old American way
of deciding winners of bouts is about
10 be man-handled. However, there
is ray of hope in the refusal of Lord
LOnsdale, English sportsman, to ac-
cept the offer of Richard to act as one
OF tn judges. Maj. a. A. DreXel Bid

has pra cticaly agreed to be one of
the outside referees.
The matter of a referee is worrying
the promoter. There is difficulty in
finding man who not only will be
suitable to every one but also COM
petent to handle a bout of this impor-
lance without becoming ratified. Matt
Hinkel, of course, is acceptable to the
battiers and is competent. There is
strong opposition to him in Toledo
and this may result in both boxers and
promoter deciding not to ask him to
serve.

KIDDIES TOOK A DAY
School Did Not Keep When Airplanes
Began To Fly Over City.

Reading, 'riting and arithmetic are
mighty dull subjects when there are
five big aeroplanes in town and dis
cipline could not prevail among the
school children Tuesday morning
when the purr of the engines sounded
out of the sky. Remembering, per-
haps, when they were young, teachers
and principals allowed their children
few minutes recess, to see the planes
fly over. But if they expected to re-
sumo the monOtonouS classes, they
were sadly mistaken.
when the five de Havilands circled
off toward the Washburn landing field
almost in a body the school children
started for the scene and during the
morning and afternoon there were al
most as many children as grown-u
at Washburn. For some reason, peda-
gogues and truancy officers failed to
appear and it was hockey" on a
wholesale basis.
