Referee Ignores Towel.

The seconds OF AL Mccoy, who was
knocked out in the third round ut st.
Paul by Mike ODowd, the middleweight
champion, twice threw a towel into the

the referee, "A chap named Ulrich. kicked
the towel out of the ring and compelled

There may be some provision of the

he has had enough punishment he is

Any referee who insists on a beaten
boxer continuing after his seconds have

fundamental rule of puglism but he
turns the bout into a brutal affair.

Unusual interest was centred in the
contest and a large crowd gathered at

mainly to the fact that the two young

in the fnal round. The match itself was

Practically all of the ranking players
Of the country will be seen In action in
the Longwood singles and Eastern
doubles, which begin on tho Longwood
Cricket Club courts, in Brook'ine, Mass,
to-day There are sixty-eght players in
the singles. including Williams, Johnston,
Murray. Tilden. Davis, Griffin, Garland
Vincent Richards and others
Considerable speculation has been 60
ing on as to who will pair up with
whom in the doubles. II is pretty GER
tain that Tilden and Richards will make
a stab at retaining the title which they
won last year. Another sure team Is
that of Robert Klnsey and Axel Craven
the California youngsters. The fact that
Johnston and Murray have sent their en-
tries In for the doubles without naming
their partners has set the ears or the
fans wagging. and they are already
| arguing that these Two VIII team TO-
gether.
There may be something In this. but it
. seems highly improbable that Johnston
would pass up the chance to play with
his Old team mate Clarence j. grimm
when Griffin will be right on the job
The very fact that this team already has
two legs on the doubles trophies ought
20 mean something. too. Furthermore.
the Johnston Griffin combination was
a
been the greatest douD cs team ever ue
veloped in America.
It would take the two only little

more than likely that when the tourney

two names linked together. AS FAR as
Murray Is concerned there Is some doubt
as 10 his partner. 1t might be Davis, and
then again It might be Mathey. Either
