PITTSBURGH FRIDAY, MAY IWI Tales from the Tee ADAMS Wholl Referee Bout Between Conn and Louis? Fesler Evaluates Pitt Grid Materia Believe It Or Not By ROBERT RIPLEY By TOM BIRKS With thousands of men and boys back in civilian life turning or returning to golf, Allegheny Countys two public couises, in North and South Parks, are ex riencing their biggest a play. Al McBiide, professional of South Park, said yesterday: ixe nexer seen anything like II In 30 years of a so elation with golf. leagues, are play ing on our course ami no icon and oldtlniers are hieing for storting times.

Once the boys have finished discussing Bobby Fellers excellence they turn rapidly to the Louis-Conn fight, which is six weeks away. No fight in history, with the possible exception of the return -0m' joust between Dempsey and Tunney has created earlier furore. Last night the boys got around to Jalking about the possible referee.

To referee the big fight will be a lucrative job. The rules in New York say that once the net gate has risen above $200,000 the fee for the various arbiters is set by the New York State Athletic Commission. In the case of a $3,000,000 gate, you can understand how the licensed officials of our town are on what are technically called pins and needles. The referee will get pretty good dough and he also will receive publicity that will attract of i fers for him to referee less important bouts in other towns The judges chosen aro will receive recognition and their choice will be hailed as something to attain. Arthur Donovan has been the leading referee in the country, but even if Arthur is vindicated on the charges growing out of the death of a friend, Eddie Eagan, the commission chairman, may pass him by.

There are other skilled referees ready for service in this important fight. Eagan must choose the right man. This is really important. Eddie Josephs refereed the first fight between the skit-tey Cnn and the blasting Louis and did a magnificent, unobtrusive job. The job of a referee is to obliterate himself from the picture; to make the spectators believe there is no third man in the abbatoir.

Most of them are exhibitionists. Josephs isnt. Hes topnotch. Then theres Benny Leonard, the old lightweight boss, who, in recent months has received a lot of good refereeing jobs. Benjamin knows the value of keeping out of the picture and his work has been neat and efficient.

Benny was a good fighter and hes a good referee. Ruby Goldstein Is another former fighter who has received lot of action in Madison Square Garden bouts of recent vintage. Ruby is quiet and calm and knows his business. The only thing against Ruby Is that he is on the smallish side and the solons may figure him not heavy enough to handle heavyweights. The fourth and last contender for the job of making money by being third man in the ring is Frank Fullam.

Frank is Donovan's assistant as boxing instructor at the New York Athletic Club and is Arthurs equal as a referee these days. Frank is a good judge of fights and fighters and probably the most humane of them all when it comes to halting a fight when a gladiator is wounded. Its nice work if you can get It.
