LIVELY FIGHTER
FROM MEXICO
Jose Rivers Looks Like Feather
weight Champion.
HE WHIPPED COSTER EASILY,
Thli Puts Him In Line For a Go With
Abe Attell, and Such a Scrap Would
Be Worth While Mexican Has Hard
Punch and Is Good Ring. General.
Dy TOMMY CLARK.
A. new featherweight champion pos
Elbillty has loomed up on the pugilistic
horizon In the person of Jose Rivers,
the strong little Mexican who has
been cleaning up everything In sight
In California. Rivers caused n big sur
prise la the fight world by clapping the
lid on the championship aspirations of
Joe Coster in twelve rounds at Los
Angeles recently.
It takes a mighty good man to stop
Cotter, who, in nddltlon to possessing
a Tery long reach and no small degree
of boxing skill, is looked upon as one
of the toughest boys milling in the
feather ranks. Not long ngo Coster
was credited with having had much
tho best of Abe Attell Id a ten round
bout before n New York club, nnd his
friends at once began booming' him ns
n possible candidate for first chop hon
ors in the 122 pound class. But Rivers
handed him the licking of his life in
the recent meet nnd put him out of
running for n chance at Abe Attell's
title.
IUvers la tho hardest hitter and best
natural ring general that the 122
pound division has produced in n dec
ade. He has appeared in the ring
about half n dozen tlmoe, and every
one of his battles has wound up with
a victory for him on a clean knockout
Among his victims were Danny
Webster nnd Johnny Iteagan, both un
usually clever lads, neither of whom
was able to do anything to offset the
terrific punching power of the dark
skinned youth from Mexico.
Now that Champion Abe Attell de
clares himself rounding into trim again
It would make a card well worth boost
ing to bring him and this new won
der into conflict
Elvers' friends are already contem
plating just such n match, and since
the Mexican's knockout of Coster the
promoters arc nftor him hotfoot.
Somebody, in the natural course of
things, must annex Attell's scepter one
of these days If Able stays in the busi
ness long enough, and it Is likely to be
Just such a young, strong fellow as
this Itlvers.
Although many Mexicans have tak
en to the prize ring, tho only one be
sides Kivers who ever amounted to
anything was Aurello Herrera. He
was credited with possessing tho
hardest punch of any man then per
forming in tho lightweight class. It
was a short deadly right, which trav
eled but five or bIx Inches when the
owner shoved It against nn opponent's
Jaw, but a mule's kick wnsn't In it for
sudden and spectacular effect.
When Bat Nelson was climbing the
ladder and Just looming up as a cham
pionship possibility he met Herrera In
a twenty round bout at Butte, Mont
During one of the earlier rounds the
Mexican got home with tho dreaded
right on Bat's Jaw, and the latter
promptly stood on his head, giving an
excellent imitation of a basket of cab
bages hit by a motorcar. But, though
badly scattered In his senses, Nelson
pulled himself together and regained
Ills feet. He clinched the round out
and thereafter gave nerrcra an nwfui
mauling.
Nelson was given the decision, nnd
the fact that ho had outlived one of
Herrera's punches without going un
der had much to do with tho reputa
tion he afterward gained ns a man of
Iron.
Herrera also came near putting out
Terry McCrOvcrn.when the latter was
In his prime. Terry had been warned
of tho Mexican's great right, but after
a few tounds seemed to have forgot
ten all about it, when suddenly ner
rera let it go and, landing flush on
McGovern's jaw, sent him to tho can
vas. Tho surprised Terry got up Im
mediately and clinched, mid a few
seconds after tho gong saved him from
i knockout. Terry recuperated rapid
ly and later put tho Mexlcau out.
Herrera might have boon n cham
pion if ho had only behaved himself,
but he refused to be good, and tho
gay life ho led put a finish to his ring
:nrecr.
Is Jackson Fatter Than Cobb?
George Dietrich, secretary of the
Stand harness racing circuit, says Joe
Inckson is faster getting to first base
than Ty Cobb or Wilbur Good. He
neld a stop watch on them, timing
each player from tho crack of tho bat.
Dietrich timed Jackson nt 2 seconds.
Tho best ho ever timed Cobb nnd
Good was 2 seconds. He has timed
Jackson from the plate to second base
hi CV4 seconds. Dietrich is an expe
rienced timer.
Phillies' First Baseman Great Batter.

has qualified for tho group of prod!

ARTHUR IRWIN TELLS OF X
t BAD CASE OF RATTLES.
New players somt'times do

of u rattled player who came
under his notice when he was
coaching Pennsylvania. Penu ? j
had a game on with the Phillies.
and the player booted every- 'i
thing that came his way. Xj
"What's tho matter?" asked Ir- j
win after tho game. "Couldn't Z
you see 'em?" "Say. coach," ?

Manager Bresnahan Expects Him to
Become Greatest Pitcher.
Bob Harmon, tho St Louis Na
tionals' young pitcher, whose future
was looked upon with so much doubt
by many followers of the Cardinals
last year, has really been the main
stay of tho team this season. Ills

control that marred his 1010 efforts

j with tho club, and ho always had tho
i other stuff. Harmon has gained con
fidence, and his free transportation Is
now down to where ho can pitch an
entire game with only a walk or two.
Many expected Harmon to weaken
when the race grew warm, but the
longer the pennant fight tho better ho
grows.
Bresnahan predicts that Harmon
will be tho. greatest pitcher In baseball
next year. According to Roger, the
Missouri boy is just learning tho fine
points of the pitching game.
HOME FANS ROAST STARS.
Detroit and Pittsburg Rooters Do Not
Appreciate Cobb and Wagner.
It Is strange, but true, that two of
the greatest ball players the gamo has
ever known aro not appreciated in
their own cities. Neither Cobb nor
Wagner is popular with the home
fans, and the abuse showered on Cobb
by Detroit fans tho other day was so
scvero that Cobb quit a game and ex
pressed himself as anxious to get
away from the Tigers. For several
years the hardest place for Hans Wag
ner to play has boon In Pittsburg. Ev
ery time ho falls to hit on the homo
grounds ho is Jeered, and if ho hap
pens to make an error there is a genu
ine uprising of tho fans. Ono would
naturally suppose- that players of tho
remarkable ability of Cobb nnd Wag
ner would be Idols at home, and yet
they are anything but that. In that
respect Washington crowds differ
greatly from those In other cities. Pa
trons of the game In the Capital City
are most appreciative. It was notice
able In a recent game there when the
Athletics worn pounding Walter John
son that he was applauded every tlmo
ho stepped to the plate, where If he
had been playing in some other city
he would have been Jeered.
Americans Need Distance Runners.
Hugh H. Baxter, tho former pole
vault champion, who Is sojourning In
England, declares in a lottcr to Jaincs
B. Sullivan of the Amateur Athletic
association that America must de
velop more distance runners If wo want
to make a olean sweep In tho Olympic
games this year.
Matty Knows How to Loaf.
Christy Mathewson may be the most
cientiflc loafer" in tho box today,
with tho supremo ability to tighten up
when ho has to, but ho never favors
himself In fielding his position. In
fielding ground balls he always goes

Ha Was Cured.
A chap once consulted a famous
physician about bis dyspepsia. Tho
patient was very deaf. The dialogue
between the physician and hp rati IIS;
this:
"What do you usually brcakfiv 'm?"
"Oh. not At least two miles in the
morning nnd a motor ride after lunch "
"How many hours do you sleep?"
"Well, doctor. I was fifty-nine my
last birthday."
"Are you married?"
"Thirst"
With a gesture of Impatience, the
physician turned nnd wrote out a slm
plo remedy for dyspepsia. Tho pa
tient as ho departed, shouted in the
loud, harsh tones of the very deaf:
"Doctor, can you euro deafness?"
Tho other shook his head in tho neg
ative. "Well," said the patient, "you'vo
been very kind, and therefore I'm going
to make you a present of this prescrip
tion." He took n folded paper from
his pocket "It cured me." New York
Tribune.
Selling Papers on the Roof.
Not all enterprising newsboys are
in tho United States. The small street
merchants of Paris, when forbidden
to enter tramcars and omnibuses, got
over the difficulty In real Yankee fash
ion. It was easy, of course, to sell
papers through tho windows to passen
gers seated In the vehicles, but how
was it posslblo to reach would-bo cus
tomers perched on tho scats provided
cn tho roof? A youth promptly solved
the problem. Ho procured a stick sev
en or eight feet long, with wlro clamps
fastened to tho sides. Papers were
put In tho clamps. On top of the stick
there was a small cup with a hole
In tho bottom. The hole was an im
portant part of tho apparatus, for it
reached all the way down, and through
it camo tho copper coins of one or
two sous, according to tho price of tho
paper tho patron selected when tho
boy held- up the stick. Chicago Bec-ord-nerald.
Louis' Compliment to Conde.
One need not overlook tho enormous
shortcomings of Louis XIV. as a man
and as n king to admit that In some
Important respects be "tried to do his
duty." no was a hardworking sover
eign both in the sphere of administra
tion and in that social sphere which
was, to his mind, no less important
So courteous that he never passed the
poorest woman about the palace with
out lifting his hat, he carried polite
consideration to the level of a Dno art
In tho way ef courteous speech thero
aro few things nobler thnn his remark
to the great Condo as tho old hero was
slowly ascending the great marble
stalraaee at Versailles. Condo apolo
gized for being so long in mounting
tho steps, at the top of which the king
stood waiting. "Ah, cousin," Louis re
plied, "ono moves slowly when ono is
laden with laurels."
Objected to the Publicity.
Man's Instinctive and perfectly rea
sonable preference for reprimand de
livered in private is illustrated by a
story told by Lieutenant General Sir
William Butler. G. O. B., in his "Au
tobiography." A general commanding at Aldcrshot
had been forcibly reprimanded by a
royal commander in chief. Ho openly
rebcllod.
"I don't mind being called a fool,"
ho said, "if it pleases your royal high
ness to call mo so, but I do mind being
called a fool before your royal high
ness' other fools," sweeping his hand
toward tho commander In chief's largo
and brilliant staff.
Sympathetic.
"By ginger!" roared Blithers wrath
fully when his son Informed him that
ho had flunked at college. "I'm blest
if I know what to say. I"
"I sympathize with you, dad," said
Blithers, Jr.. feelingly. "Thatte Just
the way It was with mo -when they
asked mo thoso blasted questions at ex
amination!" Harper's Weekly.
Wanted His Money's Worth.
Customer I say, Mr. Barber, I don't
bear your scissors at work on my hair.
Barber (apologetically) Thero Is very
little hair on your head, sir. Customer
That makes no difference. I pay my
money and I want you to rattle tho
scissors on tho bald place Just tho
same as if I had hair on it.
Never Again.
"Only onco have I spoken crossly to
my wife." said a man to an lntimato
friend.
"Indeed!" remarked the latter In
somo surprise.
"Yes," said the first speaker, rather
ambiguously; "onco was quite enough
for me." Exchange.

One day Andrew Lang, tho author,
asked Israel Zangwlll, tlio author, to
glvo his services for a charity bene

"If A. Lang will I. Zangwlll." -

"I got a cold supper when I went

"Did that do any good?"
"Well, my wlfo made It warm for
