Interest among the Iiockey faith- ful ls also at a high iaitch and in- dications last night were of a big crowd being in attciiciaiice to watch the boys perform.

Both teams will tz-ol out llf‘\\' players with additions to the Saints Tncluding Mike Hcilnessey and A. J. McAdam and three other Playgrs from Qiicbcc.

Waloott’: Manager Asks Referee Other Than Arthur Donovan

By oavu: wanna:

NEW YORK. Dec. 3—(AP)-The curtain of silence which has sep- arated, Jersey Joe Walcott from the outside world for the last. week parted slightly today to permit the challengers manager to say that both he and Jersey Joe would like to see some referee other than Arthur Donovan in the ring Friday night when they tackle Joe Louis at the Garden.

"I am not questioning Donov- en's ability, you understand," said Joe Webster. the Camden cafe proprietor. who handles Walcott. Neither am I questioning his hon- esty. But he has handled most. of the chem-plan's ﬁghts and I think the fans, as well as myself and Walcott. would welcome a change.“

The records show that Donovan has presided as the third man on 12 of the 23 occasions Louis has defended his title’ since he knock- ed out Jim Braddock in 1937. l-le worked the champions most re- cent ﬁght, when lie knocked out Tami Mauriello in the ﬁrst round 14 months ago. Many qualiﬁed observers regard Donovan as the best in the business.

"I have no man in mind to sug- gest to the Athletic Commission," Webster continued. “Any one be- sides Donovan will delight me. l think this is a sportsmanllke re- quest and I hope the Board will act favorably on it."

Walcott dldn‘t say anything. Having ﬁnished his regular train- ing Tuesday in silence. the chal- lenger-Jather of slx~put on the
