New York, May 20.-Interest in
the coming championship battle be-

Carpenter, now that both are set
tied in their permanent training
camps, is turning to the selection
of the referee.
Owing TO the international aspect
OF the contest and the presence of

principals, the third man in the
ring will be factor Of exceptional
Importance.
In the original contract signed by
Dempsey and Carpenter. there was
included in n list of six prominent
boxing authorities from which the
referee was TO be selected with cer-
tain provisions in case all parties
were unable 10 agree.
The shifting OF the scene of the
