Is Philadelphia Sporting Editor
and Boxing Authority.
BOXING CONTROL BOARD CHOSE
Admiral Sims, General Wood
and Major BiddIe on 1t.
Leaving Selection to Them APP
proved in Sporting Circles.

Philadelphia, June 1.-THE selec-
ton of William Recap, sporting editor
of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, as
referee for the heavyweight cham
pionship fight between Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey in Toledo July 4,
was announced early today by Maj.
A. J. Drexel Biddle.
Major Bidd1e. who as president of
the army, navy and civilian board of
boxing control, was requested by Tex
Richard, promoter of the fight, to
name the referee. said he had wired
Richard a week ago that his personal
choice lay between Recap and Jack
Sicily, of Yonkers, New York. This
telegram, he said, was sent as an in
dividual and not as a representative
of the board of boxing control.
Now that 1 have been asked Of
ficially by Mr.. Richard to select the
referee, 1 have decided to choose Mr.
Recap. who, 1 feel sure, will handle
the fight most satisfactorily. Him
self a fight promoter and a former
amateur boxing champion, Mr.. Recap
has for many years been a close fol-
lower of both professional and anna
| teur boxing. He has refereed num-
| Der of important matches, the most
| recent one being between Kid Will
| liams and Pete Hermann in New Or
leans He is president of the Ma
| tional Athletic club of this city. Mr..
Recap is also an expert on polo and
acts in an official capacity in most
| of the polo matches in this section.
Starts Tongues Wagging.
| Toledo, June Appointment of
William H. Recap. of Philadelphia, as
| pionship contest between Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey July 4, was the
| principal topic of discussion among
sporting authorities today.
Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey,
while expressing surprise that the ap-
pointment had been made SO quickly,
said he would abide by the decision
| of the army, navy and civilian board
| of boxing control if Recap was the
| unanimous selection. He said, how
ever, that he would have liked to have
! been consulted before final decision
| was made.
Approve Richards Action.
Approval of Tex Richards action in
requesting the army. navy and civilian
| board of boxing control to select the
referee was voiced by sporting au-
thorities and others interested in the
| independence day match. All agreed
| that Richard, promoter of the con-
| test, had made. a move to place boxing
| on a higher plane than it ever en-
joyed before. The board is composed
of the highest type of American
sportsmen, the list including Admiral
Sims, representing the navy, and Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of
the Central department of the army.
| Maj. Anthony J. DreXel Biddle, a
| launch supporter of boxing and him
self a former amateur champion, is
president of the board.
| Leaving the selection of third man
in the ring to the board, it was point
| ed out, will avoid the usual wrangling
| and dfckering between managers and
promoters which heretofore has pre-
coded virtually every championship
contest.

contracts in the bituminous field
should be required to expire on

event satisfactory wage agreement
is not secured for the central COM

feet, the international officers be au-
thorized and are hereby instructed
to call 4 general strike of all BIZ
luminous miners and mine workers
throughout the United States, the
same to become effective November
l. 1919.'
subsequently, conferences were
held between representatives of the
operators and of the miners, at
which the miners demands were
submitted and declined on the part
Of the operators. The officers OF the
International Union, United Mine
Workers OF. America, then issued So
called strike orders to all their local
Unions and members, requiring them
to cease work in the mining Of bitu-
minous coal at midnight on Friday,
October 81.
Fail to Reach Agreement.
"On October Is, 1919, the ,ecre-
tary of labor called 4 conference be.
tween the operators and miners of
the bituminous mines in the central
competitive field, which conference
also resulted in failure to reach an
agreement. In letter to Secretary
Wilson, which was submitted to the
conference, / said:
For any reason the miners and
operators fail to come to . mutual
understanding, the interests ofethe
public are of such vital importance
in connection with the production of
coal that it is incumbent upon them
to refer the matters in dispute to a
board of arbitration for determine
ton and to continue the operation
Of the mines pending decision Of the
board.
subsequently, on October rs,
1919, I issued statement in which
I said that a strike in the circum-
stances therein described is not only
unjustifable, it is unlawful and
added:
II express no opinion on the
merits of the controversy. | have
already suggested a plan by which a
settlement may be reached and l
hold myself in readiness, at the re-
quest of either or both sides, to
appoint at once tribunal to investl-
gate all the facts with view to aid
ing in the earliest possible orderly
settlement of the questions at issue
between the coal operators and the
miners to the end that the just
rights, not only of those interests
but also of the general public may
be fully protected.
All Proposals. Rejected.
Despite my earnest appeals that
the men remain at work, the officers
of the United Mine Workers of
America rejected all the proposals
for a peaceful and orderly settle
ment and declared the strike would
go on. Accordingly. at my direction,
the attorney general filed a bill in
equity in the United States dis
trict court at Indianapolis, praying
for an injunction, to restrain the Of
fcers of the United Mine Workers
of America from doing any act in
furtherance of the, strike. A re-
straining order was issued by the
court followed by q writ of tenn
porary injunction on November 8
