ESPITE the protests of Danny D Morgan, Billy Joh will referee the ten-round bout between Packey MoFariand and Jack Britton at Madison Square Garden to-morrow night, The State Athletic Commission, which had been asked to appoint the third man, settled the matter very quickly by lecting Joh. In giving him preference over the other referees the Boxing Com- missioners declared that Joh had always given entire satisfaction and that they saw no reason for making a change. Previous to the Commission's decision McFarland and Manager Thiery had ex- Pressed a willingness to take some referee other than Joh, if for no other reason than to give Dan Morgan no chance to “holler” if Packey wins.
