Referees Seek High Profile Role in Willard Dempsey Bout
Promoter Tex Rickard will not spend much on a referee for the Willard Dempsey fight. Mayor Schreiber of Toledo barred Matt Hinkel from the ring as third man, drawing applicants from across the country who seek publicity and a shot at fistic history. Notables like Charley Murray Buffalo Jim Griffin and Jack Welsh California plus Bill Brown and Jack Skeiler New York, and Kid McPartland Patsy Haley New Jersey are among hopefuls. Rickard plans to review all candidates after allowing Willard and Dempsey to settle on terms. Normally referees earn several hundred dollars, but strong competition exists for this assignment.
