Young McAuliffe May Be Referee Of Allen-Reimer
 Bout In New Britain

He knows the game from beginning to end. He is honest, straightforward and a likeable chap, full of life and ambition. He isn't afraid to break boxers in clinches and does not plant himself on one spot and live there indefinitely. That his showing last month has borne fruit and his ability appreciated is evinced in the an- nouncement today that he will in all probability act as referee at the Red Allen Bobby Reimer battle at New Britain on July 31.

UTARREN BARBOUR, the Kan
 " sas City writer and official timer at the Jess willard-Jack Demp- sey championship bout at Toledo, de- nies emphatically that he gave out a report to The Associated Press or any other press representative, to the effect that he sounded the gong for the opening of the fourth round be- fore the former champion quit. Bar bour concurs with Referee Record and the Civilian Boxing Board that the bout terminated in the third round.
 In a special interview given out yesterday in New York Barbour said, in part:
 "There can be no sane argument on the point in question. The fight was of three rounds duration. IL has been said that I rang the bell for the fourth round, but that is not so. only forty-sevcn seconds of the rest period following the third round had expired when the towel was tossed from wiIlard's corner into the rins. Tho fourth round never having be- gun, the contest. of course, reverted to the third round.
 'T cannot understand the report from Toledo that Pccord received q letter from me to the effect that the fight ended in the fourth round. It Is ridiculous to assume for an in- stant that l would go on record as entertaining such an opinion. Ii is in direct contraveution 10 the report I made to the Army, Navy and Civi- Han. Board for the Control of Boxing on the night of the contest and also Is contrary to what l have told every one who cared to ask me for my opinion in the matter.
 "I thought the incident was closed a week ago, but it seems that this is not the case. However, 1 trust that this statement will make clear my position and will at the same time correct the impression gained by many that the bell was runE signaliz- ing the start of the fourth round. l was solely responsible for timing the bout and I did not ring the bell. The fight, therefore, ended in the third round and there is no basis for any other belief or opinion"
 Which statement and admission hope will end the controversy as when Willard quit or was technically knocked out.
