I know a youngster in a sporting Rickard to Offer Jeffries Job of Referee of Willard-Moran Bout Tex Rickard, promoter of the Willard-Moran bout, which will be decided here on March 17, is going to wire Jim Jeffries an offer of the position of referee, Jeff has been ill for some time, but he is now con- valescing and will undoubtedly be well enough by the date of the battle to act In the capacity of third man in the ring. Jeff refereed the Mc- Farland-Welsh and other important fistic arguments at Tom McCarey’s old club at Venice, Cal. Jeff will have to apply for a license from the State Athletic Commission in order to officiate, but it is not believed he'd have any trouble getting one. Willard and Moran would need a man of Jeff's size and strength to break them when they clinched. It sure would be a singular thing to have the last white man to hold the heavyweight crown acting as referee. The promoters have not yet selected a site for the bout, but they expect to come to an agreement to-day with Jimmy Johnston, matchmaker of the Garden, for the use of that building.

HE futility of mathematical cal- T culation on the ability of ball- players has been proved so conclusively in the case of the Boston Red Sox, as a team, and of Bob Fisher, as an individual, that mag- nates have stopped short tn their de- sire to purchase Federal Leaguers on their records.

But, as to the Red Sox, champions Now forty-seven years old, this dis- tinguished looking Frenchman has!} been performing on the green cloth since he was a boy, and through years of practice and study has now reached the stage where he has been termed the “Paderewski of Billiards.” ‘The latest foreign star very broken- ly says he's most anxious to meet Monsieur Hoppe.
