utilize Russian resources and man
power and again become a great

American ambassador to Russia. Mr..
Francis is recuperating here from
illness which compelled him to un-
dergo a surgical operation in Lon
don on his way home from Arch

Mr.. Francis was prompted to make
the statement by the recent speeches
of Frank A. Vanderlip, formerly
president of the National City Bank
of New York, in which Mr.. Wander

situation in Europe and told Ameri-

dreamland, this time in the tenth
round.
For three years there was no man
in the world who seemed able to cope
with Jefferies's great strength. He
conferred the title on Marvin Hart,
and retired, a procedure unusual in
the annals of the ring and the public
accepted it in the spirit 1t was ten

the conferred title on February 2s.

short order. including Jim Flynn, the
Pueblo fireman and Bill Squires, the
Australian, in one round. In 1907 he
journeyed to Europe and stopped ave
men in England and France. In the
spring of 1908 he arrived in Australia

classed as his friends. Jefreries was
deluded with the idea that he could

from the ring and met Johnson. He
was kncked out July 4. 1910 in the If

Dempsey's Manager
Agrees to Recap
as Bout Referee

Toledo, o., June 11.-Jack
kearns, manager of Jack Demp-
sey, said to-day he would abide
by the selection of William H.
Recap as referee If the decision
of the army, navy and civilian
board of boxing control was
unanimous.
II think the move will be
popular" Tex Rickard said. "It
will relieve me of the RESPONSE
bility of picking a referee in the
event neither Dempsey nor Will
lard failed to agree on one and
also will relieve me of the en-
barrassment of declining the
applications of ring officials who
have pulled every wire within
their grasp to land the job. If 1
used all of the referees who had
considered themselves already
appointed l would have to build
eight arenas to hold them ALL"
Dempsey did no boxing to-
day because the wound over his
eye had not healed. He prob
ably will resume glove work to-
morrow. Willard showed more
dash yesterday than in any of
his previous training bouts. He
has improved, fifty per cent. he
says.
