Fight fans today believe the selection . of Tex Rickard as referee in the Jeffries Johnson 'fight, made yesterday by the principals, is only a temporary af fair and that eventually . Tex will step aside for another man. A good reason- that Rickard should not sen e is that he is one of the promoters and also no matter how honest Rickard 1b, the public would be suspicious and believe gamblers had grabbed the game.
