DEADLOCK REACHED IN
 BINDING A REFEREE

Toledo O., June 24.-Tex Rickard, promoter of the heavyweight cham pionship contest between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey here July 4. tonight held meeting with Willard and Jack Kearns, manager of the challenger and officials of the army. navy and civilian board of boxing control in an effort to solve the problem of selecting a referee to judge the contest. It was admitted that a deadlock had been reached.
 W. A. Gavin, member of the ex- ecutive. committee of the board and Adam Epic, secretary, profess to be- lieve that the situation is not a serious one and that the question will be set tied within two or three days. They attribute the difficulty in naming the third man in the ring to the natural irritability which is always character istic of athletes before an important contest.
 Dempsey was 24 years old today and in true boy fashion celebrated the occasion with a birthday party tonight at which he entertained 24 children of the neishborhood.
 John J. Reisler. known to the boxing fraternity as John the Barber" re- moved the last possible obstacle to the contest today when he announced that he would not take his case against Dempsey into court at this time. Reisler claims to have contract to manage Dempsey.
