Tottenville will put up a hard battle

home team in the game against the
Red Stars. While Murray Borlunt
will probably be the Red Star!
choice for mound duty.
The Aquehonga first team has only

FIGHT REFEREE
ACTION TAKEN
N. J. Boxing Commission to
Confer on the Matter
Tomorrow

ATLANTIC CITY, June 15-With
the announcement that the New
Jersey Boxing Commission is to
meet tomorrow to discuss the ref
cree question for the contest July 2,
Jack Kearns today said he advised
the commission he had commune
Gated with Tex Richard, promoter,
in regard to the meeting ard would
take no steps until he had an OPP
portunity to discuss the issue with
Richard.
THE original articles of agree
ment for the fight contained the
names of five men, James j. Cor
bett, James j.. Jeffries, James
Gougherty, Robert Edgren and Bill
Brown, who have been agreed upon
by Richard, Descamps and myself
have the list of men from whom
the referee is to be selected.
I'm the event that Descamps and,
I fail to agree, it devolves on Robert
Edgren as sole arbiter of all dis
putes, to make the final selection.
/ have at no time been advised by
Richard who holds my contract
and forfeit for the match, that the
New Jersey Boxing Commission has
any jurisdiction in the final selection
of the referee.
PERSONALLY l favor James Dough-
erty, as my selection, though this
is M reflection on the ability and
integrity of the other four availa-
BILE candidates. The name Of Lieut..
Jack Kennedy, U. S N, has been
mentioned. Both Dempsey and my
self regard him highly.
mo New Jersey referee has ever
been discussed by Descamps and
myself and l know nothing of any
New Jersey man being named as a
selection by the commission. l be-
liove the referee should be some one
who has something equally as price
less as the title to render. In other
words l believe the referee should
be a man of international reputa-
ton as a sportsman and a man, and
as Descamps and I have so much at
stake, 1 think we should be allowed
to select the referees"
