IlWlliltlllElll 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.

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." “ft Ifs at Hartman’s, It’s Correct” Saturday Sale SI.OO Shirts At 70c And, gentlemen, if you're any judge of Shirts, you'll agree that they’re mighty good dol lar values, too.

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.

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.

They are Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson. Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast, Bantamweight Champion Johnny Coulon and Featherweight Champion Johnny Kilbane. 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.
