Dempsey and Mske Ready
 For Bout {

Benton Harbor. Mich, September "A bitter wrangle developed tonight over the selection of referee for the ten-round fight between Jack Dempsey and Billy Mlske on Monday afternoon, after Chair man Bigger of the Michigan boxing com- mission refused to issue license to lin Dougherty of Philadelphia. whom Jack kearns, manager of Dempsey. wanted as third man in the ring.
 Bigger held several conferences with kearns, Jack Reddy, Miskes manager, and Floyd Fitzsmmons, promoter He from which, he said, selection could be made. The list included Ed Smith of Chicago and Matt Hinkle of Cleve- land, the only two referees living out side the state, who hold Michigan n- cenSes. While the managers were wranglng. Dempsey and Miske finished their training Miske boxed two rounds with Jack Heinen. Dempsey took only light exercise.
 The advance seat sale indicates, sport ing writers said, that the receipts for the fight will total s15000o The sale was near the sS0.ooo mark tonight
 Dempsey is supremely confident that he will knock out Miske. "Of course, I expect to win,' he said tonight q ex- pect to win decisively. and while l am confident of knocking out Miske, I know it won't be any picnic.
 Miske is 'all set for the battle, "I am not going to predict that l will knock out Dempsey he said but I am cer- tainly going to try to. The ambition of my life is to win this battle '

Babe Ruth
 Adds TWo More Hon1ers

Boston, September 4.-This was Babe Ruth day at Fenway park, and the New York batsman cracked out two home runs to celebrate. His total for the season now stands at forty-six. His first circuit drive of the day came in the third inning of the first game Of double-header, and in the sixth inning of the second game he gained his second homer both lofty drives into the right field stands.
 When Babe Ruth today knocked his forty-sixth home run of the season he broke all known worlds records for circuit drives in a single season.
 Ruth last season broke Buck" Free mans Major League record of twenty I've home runs in a season by driving out twenty-nine. This, however, was not worlds record, for Perry Wer- den, playing with Minneapolis then in the Western League, made forty-f five four-base hits in 1895. Werden was a first baseman, and, like Ruth, was un- usually large physically. Most of his home runs were made in Minneapolis. however. which had very close right and left field fences. He seldom drove the ball over the fence on foreign fields.
 In 1901 Catcher Roth of the Evans vile Central League club made thirty six home runs.
 Rnth this year has made at least one home run in every ball park in the American League, although he has, of course, made more in New York than in any other city.

Dodgers an d
 Shopmen Split .Double-Header

Vel Vines, the diminutive southpaw stopped the onrush of the Trolley Dodgers yesterday afternoon in the second game of the championship se- reies. However, Freeman could not stop them, and they split the twin bill. to and ? to 0.
 The first game was heavy hitting affair." with the Ellen En getting the best of the argument when the Dodgers couldn't hit when hits meant runs. Rives gave up seven hits, but they were well scattered and in the pinches the Carmen couldn't do "a thing with his offerings. The Shopmen touched Brand for total of ten hits, netting them six runs.
 In the first game the stick work of Freeman was the feature of the game. Out of five times up he touch ed Brand for three hits. Teague, his teammate also did some nice work with the willow, getting two hits out of five attempts. For the Dodgers Levy and Hanckens led the attack, getting two hits each out of four trials.
 The second game was one of the prettleSI pltcnerS battles ever staged on local field by ametuer teams. Sam Gittings of the Trolley Dodgers didn't let the boys from Inglenook have but one little bingle from his offerings, while Freeman was not as effective, allowing the Dodgers seven blows, net ing them two markers. In the second encounter Berkowitz tapped Freeman for two hits out of four attempts. Freeman was the only man able to connect with the offerings of Gittings and it was not until the eighth inning.
 The series now stands two to one in favor of the Trolley Dodgers. The fourth and fifth games of the series will be played Monday afternoon on the American Steel and Wire Com panys diamond at Fairfield. The first game starts at o'clock. The box scores:
