in camp, but 1t is probable this will not be later than Saturday.
 Dempsey. who usually boxes with his head unprotected, appeared in the ring wearing a head guard and a thick padding under it to protect the healing wound over his eye. Cline faced the champion for the first two rounds and was badIy shaken up a couple of times by left hooks, al- though Dempsey was careful and did not mean to hurt him. Herman, who was used for speed, forced the cham pion to display the dash and speed of a much lighter man.
 The champion appeared to be in splendid condition and apparently ready to defend his title tomorrow, if necessary. His wind was good, his speed was evident, and his hit ting was sharp and accurate.
 Kearns said he scaled about f94 pounds, and probably would face Carpenter around the 190 mark, and perhaps lower if the weather during the final training is hot.
 When he returned to camp from a en-mile hike this morning, Demp- sey found Johnny Coulon, of Chicago, former wodld's hantamweight cham pion, awaiting him. The titleholder tried to lift the 112-pound Coulon, but failed to budge. him. Coulon only recently returned Nom an European tour and scientists abroad were baffled because all attempts to lift him failed.
 It was reported here that Harry Ertle of Jersey City already had been selected as referee but that official announcement Is being withheld.

Joe Jeanette Is Allowed to Pound
 on Boss Georges

Manhassett N. Y, June 16.- Georges Carpentier permitted Joe Jeanette, negro heavyweight, to beat tattoo on his abdomen during a workout for newspaper men this aft ernoon. Manager Descamps ex- plained that some newspaper fight critics had questioned the challeng- CTS ability to assimilate punishment in the body and that this was the answer
 The performance came after Georges had worked four fast rounds, one each with Marcel Denis French lightweight; Paul Journee, French heavyweight; Italian Joe Cans, middleweight, and Jeanette The challenger was in good spirits, occasionally joking with his oppon- ents and seeming to enjoy the work as boy does Sunday school pie nic.
 Jeanette. in his first appearance. worked especially hard trying to break through the Frenchman's guard with his powerful black arms. Georges noting the negro's aggres- siveness, remarked: You must have been eating beef steak todayR Joe" but the negro only smiled
 After his regular turn was ended. Jeanette. (who had been perfectng che FreHchman in defensive tactics, was recalled. There was no defense in evidence today, Carpenter seem ing willing to pound and be pounded. Towards the close of this second ses- sion with Jeanette, Carpenter raised oI%pn ah hi hn negro then pummeled his body. Georges seemed to absorb the blows very well.
 Carpenters ring workout was pre- eeded by several hours or work be- fore the movie cameramen. He climbed trees for them, jumped fences, lifted heavy boulders, staged impromptu battles with his sparrins partners, who accompanied him on a jaunt through the woods, and en- gagged in game of rugby football He finished up his road work by hurdling seven fences. The French man vas dressed in light trousers, a tennis shirt and running shoes He wore no head covering.
 He received host of visitors, in cluding several present and former fighters.
 Knockout Brennan, who gave Dempsey such good fight in New York last winter, said he was greatly impressed with the challenger but refused to-~commit himself when asked to predict the result of the fight
 "This fellow Is mighty good, was Brennan's only comment.
 Willie Lewis and Philadelphia Jack OBrien also called. Lewis, whose right hand at one time was feared by many in his class, is personal friend of the challenger and has nothing but praise for him. O'Brien said Carpenter appeared better to him than ever before.
 High walls of canvas has been erected on one side of the outdoor training quarters to keep out the view of crowds gathered today lu an adjoining field

Controversy OUer
 the Selection of q
 Referee for Bout

Hackensack, N. J., June Is.-A threat that there would be no Demp- sey- -Carpentier fight in Jersey City on July if the New Jersey boxing commission could not have the privi- lege of naming the referee was made tonight by Commissioner Dougherty at a dinner to Charles J. Lyons, an- other member of the commission.
 Mir. Dougherty said a serious situ- ation had arisen as certain party" believed he should have the privilege of naming the referee. No names were mentioned.
 State Senator Alexander Simpson, who was also present, declared if the commission did not show backbone in sticking up for sits rights and name the referee, the next senate would repeal the New Jersey boxing law.
 New York, June 1e.-Controversy is expected before a referee is named by the New Jersey boxing commits sion for the Dempsey Carpenter bout.
 It had been expected selection would be made at a meeting of the CoilinlbSic1 tOudy, put dIleT auJOurn- ment it was announced action had been indefinitely postponed at the request of Promoter Tex Rickard While none would discuss the matter, 1t was understood that a sharp diff ference of opinion had developed among those with interests at stake.
 According to general reports, J. Harry Ertle, one of the regular New Jersey referees, had been tentatively picked with three other New Jersey referees as alternates, but opposition developed from Dempsey's camp be- cause the commission had ignored candidates named in the original con tract signed by Dempsey and Car pentier.
 The matter was reported to have been referred to Rickard, with a re- quest that he try to effect compro- mise. It was expected he would visit Atlantic City within few days for this purpose.
 It was learned unofficially that tho commission would stand on it's rights under the state boxing law. which empowers it to name and license all referees. It also was ascertained that none of the five named in the fight contract had yet applied for a referees license. No objection from Carpenters camp had been raised against the naming of the referee by the commission. It was considered not unlikely that difficulties might arise in adjusting the rules in the New Jersey boxing regulations re- garding seconds, hand -bandaging, etc., which appears to conflict with the match code specified in the box ers' contract.

CITY COMMISSION
 ON FARE INCREASE
Stringent Economy in Opera ton of Street Car Lines
 Is Urged

Concurrence in legal procedure planned by it's counsel, headed by Forney Johnston, will be voted by the city commission when it meets this afternoon at o'clock to con slider the street car fare increase and the fight to be made
 First clashes with the receivers wishes will come before the public service commission on June 2S, when the hearing on the petition for an Scent car fare comes up, according to MT. Johnston. If the fight is lost before the public service commission, an appeal will be entered in the cir cult court of Montgomery county and injunction proceedings will probably be instituted in the circuit court of Jefferson county, he said last night
 The power of the legislature to authorize the receiver to ignore the terms on which the consent of the city was obtained for the operation of the utility over the public streets will be challenged in the injunction proceedings, MT. Johnston said.
 Stringent economy in operation Of the utihty was advanced by MT. Johnston in statement issued last night as a solution of the problem in part, Making of traffic survey to determine just where the service was unprofitable and where 1t was mak- ing returns was also suggested.
 Possible reduction of wages dur ing period characterized as one of would-be contract-breakipg was also q hint thrown out by Mir. Johnston. He cited the example of other util- ities throughout the country, forced to retrench to preserve private owr- ership of the property.
 The jitney ordinance adopted by the commission was commended by Mir. Johnston as good primary legis- lation. He charged the receiver with not having made a study of this fac- tor
 Mir. Johnston indicated that con- stitutionality of the public service act of 1920 was to be challenged dur ing the city's fight against the in- crease.
