I ED SMITH WILL REFEREE WILDE MASON BOUT British Champion Refuses to ., Fight With Ollie Pecord as Third Man In . Ring. Chicago Trlbun-Omaha He Ltaatd Wire. f Toledo. Ohio. March 9. Ed Smith, a snorting editor of a Chi cago paper, will releree tne jimmy Wilde-Frankie Mason 12-round bout for the flyweight championship of the world liere Friday evening. AttCr more than an hour .in con ference with Dave Hughes, manager .for Wilde and the Welshman him-: 'self, the Toledo boxing commission cameto the conclusion that Wilde will not alter his opinion,' which is in opposition to Ollie Fecord,' To ledo, as referee and virtually gave in on the question of an arbiter. Don't Want Record., Hughes and Wilde were given tin til Thursday to make their final de cision. It is certain, however, the Welshman will -hold out against Tecord and tn that event Smith will officiate. I ' Wild' nhirrtinn tn Pecord are based largely on that official's work at the Willard-Demnsey affair last July 4. He told Ad Thaclie, whor is promoting the bout, that he wouldn't fight for Pecord, and the referee question was left pen until today. Pecord more than a month ago v when he heard of Wilde's objections, gracefully withdraw from any con sideration but the commission held out that he should officiate if it was possible to induce Wilde 6 go on -with him in the ring. Wilde's workout Monday after noon with a half dozen heav spar ring partners made a 'lot of friends for the Briton. He showed some neat speed and disclosed that he is 1 a past masterlat the ring game. The house is sola out for the bout, 3,500 scats having been disposed of. Today's Calendar of Sports.

Ken Sciple Will Not Take Par in Peoriav Bowling Tournament Scott Tents will compete in the American Bowling Congress in Peoria next week .without the as sistance of Ken Sciple, a mainstay of the Scott five and recognized'as one of 'the top-notch Omaha pin tumblers. Sciple's business .will keep him fromtakihg part in the A. B. C, he announced yesterday. He-will attend the state tourna ment in Fremont this week, how ever, as a member of the Scott team. Wally" k. Schoenman, the only Omahan who ever won an event in the Midwest Bowling tournament, will probably take Sciple's place. Schoenman is not lined up, with any team this season. Schoenman cap tured the Midwest all-events in 1915 and his team won the five-men contest, i . Sciple holds' the distinction of roll ing up the highest thr;e-game score ever made in Omaha and, according to Bill Learn, the highest score ever made. Three years ago Sciple rolled two 300 games in succession and followed them with a 270 to show it wasn't merely luck The games were bowled on No. 7 at Farnam alleys. PHOTO-PLAYS.

Pittsburgh, Pa., March 9. -The Creighton University five of Omaha, Neb., had little difficulty in defeat ing the erratic Duquesne University passers of Pittsburgh tonight, the final score being 31 to 27. The margin of victory does not tell the story of the difference in the two teams, for Crrighton showed to much better advantage than the locals, but were handicapped by per forming o.n a strauige floor. The Nebraskans led at the half, 20 to IS. In the last few mimites of play Duquesne staged a rally, but a held goal and one jrom the tout line by Kearney put the game on ice as the whistle bler.
