CHAMPIONS DIZZY FINISH OF BATTLE WITH
Is IS RIVERS Is CLEARLY SHOWN IN PICTURES

Instead gof dying down, the contro-
versy over the Wolgast Rivers fight in
Los Angeles July is growing warm
Ter. Opinion. to judge by the Coast
papers, seems to be about evenly di-
vided as to whether or not Wolgast
was entitled to the decision given by
Jack Welsh. All sportdom waited for
1.-The motion pictures to throw further
hight on the subject, and this is what
la Los Angeles dispatch of July has
to say of them:
Showing practically every blow
struck in the Vernon arena on July 4,
the moving pictures of the Wolgast-
Rivers fight were given their first pre-
sentation today at private display.
The important questions raised by
the unsatisfactory conclusion of the
fight in the minds of the fight enthu-
siasts are to. certain extent satisfied
| by the pictures.
If Wolgast fouled Rivers at the
| finish, the films fail to record it. In
lthe~thirteenth round the pictures show
the men fighting head to head near
the ropes. Suddenly Wolgast's arms
begin working like mad at the might
! ing. Four body blows are delivered.
They are clearly shown. First right
and then left to the body and then re-
peat with lightning rapidity.
The pictures show Rivers sagging
backward, one foot stretched forward,
and as the champion lunged forward
his foot strikes the foot of Rivers,
who is just settling back to the can
vas.
WoIgast Falls Over Rivers.
! Wolgast stumbles forward over this
foot as Rivers finally stretches out,
and the champion falls over the up
raised knee of the man below. Ref
cree Welch stoops over them, appar-
emily at a. loss He takes Wolgast by
his right shoulder and drags him off
the PROSTATE body of Rivers, who is
stretched out completely with his face

Some idea of the extreme Steps ma

collegian southpaw. Here was FL
year-old who made a name for him

was on his trail. Finally the bidding
for his services got so brisk that the
Philadelphia Nationals won out. by CIV

tract Can you beat that2
Rixey is some husky, being some six
feet six inches tall, and he weighs
around. 200 pounds. He pitched great
ball for the college. but it is no critic
rion that he is worth the gamble the
Phillies are taking with him.
The Washington team came within
two games of tying the American
League record. for consecutive vic
tories The laurels are now held by
the Chicago White Sox, who won nine

Reach High Water Mark
This Year.

lars, exceeding by between 40 and
so million dollars. the high record

was 1857 million dollars. Exports
seem likely to approximate 1900
million dollars. or about $50 mil
lion dollars, more than those of the
previous high record OF 2049 mil
lion made in the fiscal year 1911.
This growth in foreign commerce
while common to both imports and
exports, is especially marked in the
export trade Imports have increas-
ed approximately $50 millions dol
lars since 1895, while exports in
the same time have Increased about
1900 million. the excess of exports
over imports In the same period in
creasing from 103 million dollars
in 1895 to about 500 million dol I
lars Ia the current fiscal year. +
This excess OF exports Of 500 mil
lion indicated for the fiscal year
now closing will be larger than that
If any earlier years except 1898,
