obs. the matchmaker. and 10y Molum-

senting promoters. came with dramatic
suddenness late this afternoon, when
orders were received over the long dis
tance telephone authorizing Molumby to
pay the first 100000 over to kearns.
kearns agreed to post $50. 900 forfeit as
surfing Dempsey's fufillment of the con-
tract. while Eddie Kane. representing
Gibbons, consented to posting forfeit
OF $4,000, assuring the challenger's ap-
pcarance in the ring
Dnugherty Probable Referee.
Although kearnS agreed to name an
other referee in addition to his first Sc
lection-Jimmie Daugherty of Philadel-
phia-it seemed certain tonight that
Daugherty will be chosen. Kane who
protested the selection of Daugherty
from the start, said he probably would
be obliged to accept the Philadelphia
or lose the chance of Gibbons fighting
for the championship.
Both Tom and I are so certain that
he can win that it really won't make
much difference who referees so long as
he is competent" Kane said. II do not
like to have Daugherty showed down
my throat. but can't see any other way
out of it. He's hand picked. friend

ably will have to take him. He is a

Unless the receipts exceed $500. 900
Gibbons will not receive a dime outside
of his training expenses and chance
at the championship. According to the
articles of agreement. Gibbons will re-
celve 80 per cent of all money over

there, at least twenty-five having
been erected in the last year or two.
A good hotel with wholesome coun-

and boats are available at all times
for anglers. Good day and night Ash

There is good reason for all this.
On the first round among the clubs
of the rival section, players begin
really to get acquainted with each
together and try and settle on
batter's weakness. Usually they have
him figured right by the time all
the teams have made the swing
around the circle.
Give All Kinds of Tips.
Bat,ers do the same thing with
the pitchers. They tell their friends
thing. Watch his wind-up." they
viii say. IF he shortens it he's
gong to give you speed" That sort
OF news goes all along the line. The
runners will tell who of the infield-
ers have good arms and who have
