CLEVER LOCAL KID To
Be GIVEN REAL TRYOUT
Young Rivers Will Tackle Worthy
Opponent When He Min
giles with Billy CapeIle

Young Rivers, the clever little MeXi-
can boy who is touted by local fans as
the coming featherweight champion,
will have the chance of his life to make
good when he hooks up with Billy Ca
pelle in the semi-wlndup to the Flynn
LangfoTd affair at Vernon New Years
day. The distance, fifteen rounds, is
far enough for Rivers to show all his
punches and footWork, and will deter
mine whether lie Is ever to graduate
into the ranks of those higher up.
Thus far the little Mexican has done
everything asked Of him by the ring
siders. On his last appearance he gave
frankie Sullivan the hardest beating
any boy ever took in u local arena,
and before that he always put up a
superb battle that was extremely in
teresting and profitable to those who
bet on him.
The mill with Capelle will show just
how good Rivers is. for he has never
been called on to go over ten rounds,
and it may be he lacks stamina. This
has not been borne out by past per-
formances, however, for the clever kid
has always won in handy fashion and
never appeared to be pressed.
Capelle is the best kind of trial
horse for Rivers, and not few think
he has more than an even chance to
cop Billy carries a nice kick, mas
gameness to spare and is also well
versed in ring craft At his San Pedro
training camp he gives every evidence
of being ready for a hard battle, and
declares he will show Rivers up as
another bloomer.
Tony Caponi and Jim Flynn, who will
provide the top line event at Vernon a
week from tomorrow afternoon, are
working like Trojans and will be ready
for the rough house affair expected of
them. Flynn will box this afternoon
for the benefit of those visiting Yer
non, while Caponi plans an assorted
program for the crowds at Arcadia.

cRocKER's POOR YEAR

NEW YORK. Dec. 24.-Richard
Croker, the ex-Tammany chief of New
York, had rather poor year of 1t on
the Irish turf. as he finished in third
place with a slim total of $4,000. Since
Croker parted with DIR. McCabe, the
first manager of his racing stable.
thinas do not seem to have come his
way and there are those who are of
opinion that the Tammanyite let slip
the goose with the golden egg when
McCabe left for Newmarket. Soon after
Croker arrived here on his annual win
ter visit a tip got quietly. noised around
that he had the winner of next years S
EPSON derby high and dry and safely
slowed away at Glencairn In Ireland.
Three nominations figure in next years
derby from the Glencairn establish
ment, and they are Clonbern, Altoona
and Cirrhosi, the st named having

JACK JOHNSON INVENTS
GOOD HOSTING APPARATUS

CHICAGO. Ill, Dec. 94-Jack John
son, worlds heavyweight champion,
who recently turned inventor tells Of
the many superiorities which his hy-
draulic lifting machine has over others,
and has exhibited for the first time in
public a model of the apparatus, which
he has called the Johnson hydraulic
lifting machine.
TO all appearances the invention
looks a mighty good one and Jack de-
clares he expects to reap enough money
from the sale of the machines TO keep
him out of the prize ring. The machine
already has been patented, and john
son says there is not enough money in
the world to purchase his holding. AS
soon as q few minor improvements are
made IN the apparatus Johnson intends
10 build a small factory on the south
side and manufacture the machines,
which he says can be used for every
thing, from hosting a painters plat
form on the side Of a building to lifting
q locomotive.

in that time the fans will be able to
see the old game as it was.
These teams are composed of bunch
of stars who two and three years ago
were playing teams from all over the
west and more than holding their own
with the invaders. There has been
some question as to their condition,
but as they have been working out for
the past month It looks as though they
would be in fine shape for a short
game. The Indians outweigh their Op-
ponents by a good margin, but the
Saints expect TO make up in speed what
they lack in pounds, thus showing that
beef is not the only factor, even in
the old game.
The next thing on the program is the
Rugby match between the Polytechnic
fifteen and a picked team from the
Rugby men of the Los Angeles high
school. This latter team will not rep
resent the hilltop institution, as their
official season closed two weeks ago
when they defeated the Palo Alto team
for the state title, but the team which
will serum with the mechanics is com,
posed of nearly all the stars on the
blue and white team of this season.
The /. A. team has the advantage of
their opponents in the fact that all OF
the men on their team have been play
ing regular games all season, while the
Poly team, owing 10 the fact that the
school is not in the Southern Inter
scholastic league, have been playing
interclass games, which do not give a
team the finish that comes from out
side competition. Anyway 1t will be a
good, fast exhibition of the English
sport, as both squads are fast and well
trained.
The next course on the menu will be
one Of those fast new-style intercol-
legiate games played by the Throop
polytechnic institute Of Pasadena ana
the Southern California Athletic club
The Throop team will be intact and
will play the Same lineup that went
through the season just closed. This
team tied for first honOrs with three
other schools in the southern league,
and all season played fast and spec
tacular ball. The club team is made
up partly of L. S. c, prep players.
They have been under the coaching of
Ralph RAIDER. who was In charge of the
U. S. c. preps this season and turned
out one of the fastest teams in the
south. RAIDER has been working along
the same lines with this team and will
depend on the forward pass and the
open plays to win. There is a good deal
Of feeling between the twos as they
met in many games during the past
three years, and now they are looking
for chance to show which is made up
of the best men.
AND THEN COMES SOCCER
The last thing on the bill of fare is
the soccer game between the bonny
Draw Scots from the Rangers and This
ties This game is creating considera-
ble interest, as the teams are bitter ri
walls, and their fight for first honors in
the Southern California Soccer league

The game tomorrow promises to be a
little more than an exhibition.
The days program promises to be one
Of the greatest gatherings Of football

Everything Is set for the big football
carnival tomorrow on Bovard field, and
the eight teams which are scheduled
to play tit and trained to the minute
for the various battles Without a
doubt this will be the biggest meet of
it's kind ever held in the south, as
Manager Pat" Wheelan has gathered
a galaxy of ninety-six artists of all the
known kinds of football, and they will
be seen in action on the field. The
meet was arranged for the purpose Of
giving the southern football fans
chance to see all the varieties of foot
ball played by the Anglo-SaXon raceA
In the south for the past three years
the controversy over which and why
is the best kind OF gridiron sport has
been waxing stronger as the seasons
went by. Rugby was introduced in
most of the southern high schools, and
at first the students were opposed to
the English game, but now have come
to think that it is the only thing. on
the other hand, the followers of the
intercollegiate game say that with the
new rules the new American sport is
by far the best game to bring out all
the best qualities of the athletes.
Again there have been some of the
fans of the years gone by who say
that the old-style intercollegiate game
is real football and it takes men of
red blood and undaunted courage to get
into the game and furthermore main
tain that there is a falling off in the
athletes of today, due to the reorgan-
izing Of the old game. Then the Soc
Ger men have been looking for a chance
to show their national game before a
southern crowd. The devotees of the
old world sport are inclined to think
that this Is the only game which COM
bnes all the good features of the other
games and no bad features at all.
UP TO MIR. FAN
Now It is up to Mp. Fan to see and
take his choice. This will be done,
as a ballot will be attached to every
ticket, and after the games the fans
will have the opportunity of voting as
to which they think the best game. The
count will be taken after the game and
the result published on the following
morning,
one Of the greatest difficulties which
has confronted the management is
placing the games on the schedule to
the satisfaction of all the different
teams, as each aggregation thinks that
they should be made the star attrac-
tion. Every team is n top-notcher in
their class and have been playing good
bali all season.
Now for little detail The first
game will be a clash between the old
time St Vincent team and the Sher-
man Indians Of '0S These teams will
mingle in the old-style slap bang stuff
which thrilled the fans in the days
gone by. The teams are the heavy
weights of the day and should put up
a real game while 1t lasts. They will
! be allowed two ten-minute halves, and
