RIVERS IS A FIXTURE IN
’ LOS ANGELES ARENA
CiHICAGO, Aug. 16.—There
isn’t any chance of Joe Riv
ers, Mexican lightweight-—or
is he a Spaniard?—leaving that
dear old Los Angeles for a long
time to come. There have been re
ports that he would box around
here in the early fall and that his
manager, Joe Levy, former Chica
goan, who is guiding his destinies
in the ring, was considering offers
from nearby clubs.
Much as we would like to see the
swarthy little lightweight in action
at Kenosha or some equally acces
sible place, we must confess, after
a chat with Levy, that the conclu
sion is obvious that there isn't a
chance of such a thing. Promoters
who are figuring on giving Levy
and Rivers enough of a guarantee
to jnsure their appearance here
might as well move over into the
next stall. They are up against it.
Too Big a Card on Coast.
The reasons are obvious when it
is known that Rivers is drawing
wonderfully well in all of his en
counters in Los Angeles. Even with
Jack White, who practially was an
unknown to the fight fans of south
ern California when he landed out
there, there was a house of $12,000.
Inasmuch as half such a sum would
be next to impossible around he?e,
unless Packey McFarland was on
the other end of the skit. Rivers
will remain in Los Angeles for some
time to come.
At least as long as he is the big
winning card he is at the present
time. And. judging from the cali
ber of men going against Rivers
now, he is to be a winner for some
time to come. It will take a Wol
gast or a McFarland, or mayhap a
Ritchie, to best him. but alas! there
isn’t much chance of an early meet
ing with any of them.
Levy Has Good Reasons.
There are reasons, too, says Levy.
Wolgast is ill, or out of shape, and
can not box for some time to come.
McFarland and Ritchie are too big
and hence the lighter class of men
like Joe Mandot must perforce be
accepted as opponents.
The San Francisco papers are
persistent and insistent In stating
outright from time to time that Joe
Levy is only a figurehead in the
management of Rivers, Tom Mc-
Carey being the real fellow. I
asked Levy about this the other
afternoon and he denied the state
ment flatly. “They know I’m Joe’s
manager because they have seen
me sign articles of agreement for
him,” Joe said. "McCarey doesn't
need me or anybody else as a fig
urehead In his deals. He uses Riv
ers right along because Rivers is
making him a lot of money. Every
one of his fights draws well and
why he stick to him?
Not Afraid of Ritchie.
"Wolgast used to be the great
card out there and is still—that’s
true—-but Joe has the call now. Yes,
I see they are toasting me and Mc-

is a lot smaller than its

nickel. The quality is the
same as that of the most

Carey for taking on Mandot instead
of Willie Ritchie. That's natural,
because Willie is a San Francisco •
native. Joe ts not afraid of Ritchie
or any other man in the world any
where near his weight. But that’s
the hitch. Ritchie is too big. He
can make 133 pounds at the ring
side, but says he won’t do it for
anybody but a champion.
"Well, Rivers isn’t a champion—
not yet, at least—but he ought to
be. He is like Wolgast and can
make 128 pounds without any
trouble at all right today. So why
should be be giving away a chunk
of weight to a fellow like Ritchie.
If Ritchie can make 133 for Wol
gast. let him do it also for Rivers.
He can make more money and gain
a bigger reputation by whipping
Rivers than he could by doing any
thing else, except whipping Wol
gast.
Mandot a Second Gans.
“Mandot is a good boy, no mut
ter who has beaten him, and
mighty few have. He boxes more
like Joe Gans than any map I've
seen in years; in fact, is the near
est approach to the famous colored
star that I ever saw. So I’m not
looking for any picnic with him,
and neither is Joe."

MOBILE TODAY
MOBILE, Aug. 16.—Sitton and
Reynolds vs. Campbel! and
Dunn are the batteries who
will probably woik in the opening
game of the series the
Crackers and Gulls here this after
noon. Mobile still has a hunch that
their crew pt jolly ball tossers will
cop the pennant and the fans pre
dict that their favorites will clean
up the Atlanta aggregation.
Mike Finn’s team is about 50
points behind the leading Barons
today and that margin looks to be
big enough. But Finn has a con
fident bunch and they are putting
up a great finish.
The Atlanta players are all
pleased over the fact that Bill
Smith is going to, manage the
Crackers next season. "Whitey”
Alperman is a strong, booster for
Smith and the present leader pre
dicts that William will give the
Gate City a winner in 1913.
Ihe Big Race j
Here’s how the “Big Five” of the
American league are hitting the ball,
the averages, including yesterday's
games:
PLAYER. A.B. H. P.C.
COBB 412 171 ,415
SPEAKER 437 173 .396
JACKSON 417 159 .331
COLLINS 391 132 .337
LA JOIE .... . 278 86 .309
Ty Cobb dropped off a couple of points
in his batting yesterday by failing to
get over one hit in four attempts. But
Speaker didn’t get a single blow in four
trips to »the plate and dropped back
three points. Jackson, too, failed to
connect in four chances. It was a bad
day for the three top men. Collins,
however, kept up his hitting streak,
which has been well over the .500 mark
for a week, by garnering two safe swats
in three trials. Lajoie grabbed only
one hit in four times at bat.
REPORT THAT STALLINGS
WILL MANAGE HUB TEAM
BOSTON, Aug. 16.—George Stallings,
the Gemgian who made good as man
ager of the New York Americans three
years ago and at present leader of the
Buffalo international league team, is to
manage the Boston Nationals next sea
son. At least a report from Buffalo
says so.
It is understood here that Johnny
Kling will become manager of the
Kansas City American association club
next year.

The pessimist group believe that with
al! these stars on the scene, with the
large amounts of money involved, cir
cumstances might arise which would
do a great deal of harm to the sport if it
did ont kill it altogether. If serious
punishment should be inflicted in any
of the bouts, it would cause the usual
wave of resentment on the part of the

while charges of crookedness might
come from the supporters of defeated
