Smyth. HE last of the important preliminary details of the Gans- Nelson | fight, the selection of the referee, has finally been disposed of. predicted yesterday by Edward Clarke, The Call representative at The nn]y Cahforman voted upon for the important position was Jack | Welsh. From the start the Goldfield people seemed opposed tq Eddie Graney. When the balloting comfnenced the name of the honest black- | smith was not mentioned. A press dispatch throws new light on the op- position to the San Francisco man. It says: “Eddie Graney was known to be out of the running early in the even- ing. Crowds gathered on the streets to await the result and an informal count found few adherents of the ‘little blacksmith.” against Graney appeared to be his ruling in the Nelson-Britt fight at Colma when he deeclared all bets off. It was held that in this Graney did wrong. Had he merely declared his own bet on Nelson off or declined to officiate he would have adopted the proper course, according to the Goldfield sports.” This will be Siler's second appearance in the ring in Nevada as judge of a finish contest, as he officiated when Fitzsimmons won the championship from Corbett. He has always been a great admirer of Nelson and undoubt- edly has had the support of Manager Nolan for the present position. Siler was Nelson’s choice for referee at Colma. The Chicago man en- tered the ring and declined the honor, saying he was there in the capacity cf correspondent and could not officiate. ‘ The following message came from Chicago last night: “CHICAGOQ, Aug. 17.—George Siler has wired his acceptance of the offer made to him to referee the Battling Nelson-Joe Gans fight at Gold-|%% fierd, provided his terms were accepted. Mr. Siler would not say what he expected from the Goldfield management, but it is not anticipated here that there will be any hitch over money matters.” Nolan said regarding Siler: “The selection is perfectly satisfactory to me. I know and the American people realize that George Siler is one of | Ca most prominent and capable referees in the country. When he steps into the ring it means fair play and no favor for either contestant.” Gans weighed 134 pounds yesterday and said he' could make the re- quired weight within twenty-four hours. Three thousand five hundred dol- lars was wagered at Goldficld with Gans a 9 to 10 favorite. % —— Autojsts Seek Speed Permit. afternoon, and for permission to hold NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Application was filed yesterday Dby the American Automobile Association with the Nas- sau County Board of Supervisors for a permit to hold the third international race for the W.
