Jose Rivers, the sensational
Mexican featherweight of Los An
seles, who set the boxing world
afire by his string of knockouts
during the latter part of 1910 and
1911. received severe check to
his championship aspirations when
Johnny Kilbane, the Cleveland
wonder, trimmed him in a 20
rouLd battle.
Rivers reminds one of the Next
can lightweight Aurelio Herrera,
when that hard-hitting boy first
came out.
Herrera always carried a Sleep
producer in his right and many a
lightweight went to dreamland as
result of coliding with 1t.
Rivers was of much the same
style and carried a vicious punch
In his right mitt, but he seemed
to be helpless against a clever lad
like Kilbane and even Joe Coster
was able to keep out of harms
way until he bumped into his
right glove in the thirteenth
round.
Rivers scored knockouts against
such good boys as frankie Sulli-
van, Jimmy Reagan and Danny
Webster.
The Mexican, who is managed
by Joe Levy, wants to get away
from the coast for a while and
make a tour of the eastern cities
where boxing prevails and is ar

lish boy, Bill Marchant.
Rivers is only 10 and develop
ing rapidly. In another year he
will be ready to get into higher
class, possibly the lightweight
and if he carries the punch he
may yet give AID Wolgast run in
that division.
Johnny Coulon, the bantam
champion, is credited with being
the fastest little boxer developed
in many years, but England claims
to have one who is even faster
and who weighs a little less.
The British wonder is Sid
Smith, who weighs ITO pounds
and who has beaten everything in
the bantam line in England. He
is after the worlds title and Is
after. Conlon.
Sam Langford will go to Aus,
tralia. Joe Woodman, his man
ager, is wise and can read between
the lines that the clubs are not
going to give Sam many of these
soft pickups against white men
The fans do not like them, and as
there are several good heavies in
Australia now, the natural suppo-
sition is that "Thamuel" will get
himself to warmer climes.

Children Cannot Work

The new law prohibiting the
hiring of children under sixteen
years of age is coming in for a
generous share of criticism. AS
the law was intended it is good
thing but the makers overlooked
several features which should
have been incorporated in the
measure and which is making
it very unpopular and undeserv-
edly. The women of the state
are making a vigorous protest.
They know not what to do with
the boy from IA to 16 years old.
Not allowed to work they have
to much time on their hands and
that satan finds work for idle
hands" there is no doubt, 50
the mothers are wondering what
to do. Then there is another
proposition. Many boy or girl
under sixteen can during the va
cation months contribute consid-
erably to their own expenses
while inschool, and many sixteen
year-old boys and even younger
are supporting a widowed
mother. The great trouble with
so many of these laws they are
not designed to fit all coalitions
and work hardships on innocent
people. 1t looks to this writer
that no worse fate could befall a
healthy bov or girl than to be
compelled to pass their time in
idleness. The very time in their
lives when they should cultivate
a desire for work they are told
by the great state they must not.
A good law we are sure to breed
laziness and continued idleness.
All right for the condition which
it was created to relieve, it IS
wrong when applied to the aver
age community.

Gone Home

Little Marjorie, the sixteen
months old daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. F. M. Shields entered the
last sleep Monday morning, June
26, 1911. The little one had only
been sick since Thursday and
was thought to be improving, but
Friday she took turn for the
worse and almost before her con-
dit1on was fully realized the end
came. Little Marjorie was a
sweet child of affectionate nature
and won the hearts of all with
whom she came in contact. But
the little life on earth is ended.
Like the rose which blooms in
the garden scattering its sweet
perfume then fading away, she
lived to scatter the sunshine of
her smile then returned TO the
God who gave her. Sad indeed
is the parting with these innocent
little ones but the words of the
Savior, Suffer little children to
come unto me, and forbid them
not for of such are the kingdom
of heaven" are balm to breaking
hearts for they are the fulfillment
of the hope of another meeting,
in the world beyond where part
ings are no more. The little
form was tenderly laid away in
Graceland cemetary after SER
vice at the home conducted by
Rev. Baker.
To the grief stricken parents
we offer the deepest sympathy
of all.
