KEARNS DECLARES
REFEREE NOT NAMED
Question of Third Man I'm Ring
TO Be Deferred TO Later
Date.
ny CHARLES F. MArHIsoN.

Jack keains, manager of Jack Demp-
sey. arrived in the city last night and
a rumor arose TO the effect that a con-
ference was TO be held for the selection
OF referee
Nothing of the kind" said kearns.
THE referee question will be left TO the
last There Is no hurry about it. Any
man who knows his business will suit
Us. but we win not stand for some chap
who is being boosted for political pur-
poses. Several fellows have announced
that they have been appointed, but 1t is
not So
The real reason for my visit here Is
to see il I can get some tickets for
friends of the champion and myself who
are coming from the West. l never
heard of such a rush for tickets In my
.ife and Il looks as If even the cham
pion will have trouble getting some. al
though he is willing 10 pay for them.
'I hear a lot about Carpenter being
q fast man with his feet and hands. and
J don't doubt he Is. But when Jack
Dempsey gets into the ring on July 2
the people viii see the fastest heavy
weight that ever put up his hands.
Dempsey has lived cleanly. and he will
be In far better condition next July than
lie was when he defeated Willard The
experience he has had since then has
broadened the champion, and as he is
but 25 years OF age he will be in the
hest form of his life as to speed. strength
and boxing.
Yes, he was off form In his bout with
Brennan, but had he settled Brennan In
a round possibly there never would have
been a match with Carpenter.
Just mark the prediction that Demp-
sey will surprise all his critics on
July 3"
Tex Rckard was YESTERDAY irritated
by reports intimating that scalpers had
cornered the choice seats for the big
title contest, and made this statement:
''In every big contest have promoted
the speculating angle has cropped up
and people who have not investigated
and learned both sides have accused me
of practically selling out to the scalpers
] have attended personally to the sale
Of tickets for each bout and there has
been no scandal, no matter how hard
somebody tried to bring it to the sur
face.
1T is ridiculous on the face of it to
believe that any one can charge and will
pay a. profit of s. to $40 OH the $50 and
s25 seats for the Dempsey-Carpentiere en-
counter because there are a great num-
.ber Of these unsold In the box offices.
Another stupid thing is the state
ment that the prices for front row seats
range from si00 TO $50, and anything
inside the first ten rows from $l25 to
500 a seat.
Il have the name OF every man who
purchased a seat in the first ten rows,
and l did not sell any one person a
block of tickets down front.
1.-The biggest trouble / have encoun-
tered since the sale opened was requests
from almost every person to be placed
right at the ringside. I have tried to
please my customers. The public should
be advised that there are seats aplenty
to be purchased at Madison Square Gar
den and that there is no necessity for
paying so-called advanced prices. The
$50 seats are gone. but there are plenty
of so. $40, s25, $50, SO and $40 tickets TO

TuRNBERRY. Scotland. May 3l.-Miss
Marion HIollins made a most valiant
attempt to avenge Miss Alexa Stirling
in the second round of the British
women's golf championship to-day.
She was / up with TO play against
Miss Cecil Leitch and then she just
failed but it was a thoroughly gallant
effort and she had the sympathy Of
the crowd.
Miss Hollins is clearly not the pol
ishcd golfer which Miss Stirling is. but
she is big, strong, resolute and good
putter. These are qualities which will
always go far.
She very nearly, but not quite. I
should say kept up with Miss Leitch
from the tee. Certainly, however, it is
not so attractive a method which she
has. She seems to hit rather a heavy
blow, whereas Miss Leitch hits the ball
just like some one clasping a knife,
with a clean, crisp stroke. Miss Hol-
llrs's putting, however, must have been
hard work to contend with.
Miss ieitch played the first hole

before a very long putt from Miss
Hollins. Another long one went in at
the third hole. but it was no use. be-
cause Miss Leitch had 4, having hit
two really terrific wooden club shots,
