 CHAMPS FRIEND
 FOR THE REFEREE.
Jim Daugherty of Philadel- phia May Officiate at
 Benton Harbor Monday.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. A. Official announcement of the referee of the ten round bout here Monday afternoon between Jack Dempsey and Billy Miske, was expected today. In dications seemed favorable to the se- lection of Jin9 Daugherty of Philadel- phia, a personal friend of Dempsey, but is withheld until the arrival of Jack Reddy, Miske's manager. AL though Dempsey and Miske finished their hard. training, yesterday, they will continue to work in public this afternoon and tomorrow tv sa iisry the big crowds that have jammed the training camps.
 Dempsey looks to be ready and says he is eager for the battle.
 The ruddy checked Miske is wind ing up his training supremely confi- dent that he will hold the champion even and that Dempsey will not knock him out. The challenger Is finely trained to 190 pounds of bone and muscle. Dempsey before his workout yesterday sealed 1S9 pounds.
 Widespread interest in the battle is evidenced by the large number of newspaper correspondents on the ground. There were 75 special writ CTS here this morning and others were expected before night.

If It Rains on Ruth
 Pirates Won't Lose

The Pittsburgh club is taking no chances of having fat gate receipts knocked into a, cooked hat or into a plugged nickel or anything like that when Babe RAth and other illustr<t's Tanks visit their town for an exL-oi- ton baseball game next Wedn esday.
 The Pirate lair and environs have been looking forward all summer to seeing the worlds most ferocieus slug ger batter at the Forbes Field fortress next week and just to be on the safe side financially the Pittsburgh club yesterday insured the game against rain and accident to Ruth.
 The amount of insurance taken out was s20, 900, for which a S1,500 premium was paid to Henry W. Ives, a broker of this city.
