RIVERS, CALIFORNIA IDOL
Jack London's Prize Ring Hero Graduates Into
Lightweight Ranks.
By w. w. Naughton
Lightweight Ranks

CAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-The
~ Los Angeles sports expect
great things of Young Joe
Rivers, and it can truthfully be
said that he is as promising light
weight as there is in the west.
AS he has been battling among the
feathers during the year OF so he
has been in the business, it savors
of railroading him into higher
class to speak of him as a light"
weight, but. truth to tell, Master
Joe has attained lightweight di-
mensions already. He had to pinch
like everything TO make 1o5 at 10
o'clock on New Years morning
for frankie Conley, and it is rca-
sonable to suppose that he added
at least couple of pounds to his
avoirdupois by 3 o o'clock, the time
be entered the ring.
The chances are Rivers could
fight at 130 right now without
carrying an ounce of dead weight.
He is only 10 years old, and he has
gained about ten pounds of fight
ing tissue in twelve months, it can
be readily understood that before
very long he will have to pull
down to 1873 instead of having to
build up to that notch. For his
own sake. it is to be hoped that
in the matter Of putting on flesh,
he will net follow in the footsteps
of Packey Mcfarland. The writer
remembers when Battling Nelson
first. began TO sing the praises OF
Mcfarland, who was then boy
Of II.
"When his frame fills out bit
be will make US all hustle" said
the Dane.
Poor Packey filled out to the
l33-pound limit and then passed it,
aud be has been ahead of the scale
ever since. No donbt he often
wishes he had stopped growing
when he became Il full.fledged
lightweight.
m HAT Rivers's rise has been
rapid. is shown by the fact
that his name does not ap.
pear in last years record books.
The ono black mark against him in
a year of great activity, was bis
defeat by Johnny Kilbsne, and we
have the testimony Of such men
as Freddie Welsh and Ad VOL
CAST to show that the reverse
spoken of was the outcome of over
confidence on the part of green
youngster who pounded his ,oppo-
peut for fifteen rounds and left
himself wide open in the six.

But that s neither here nor there.
Rivers was beaten as feather
weight, and he has now outgrown
that class. He will not be able TO
ask for return bout with Xii.
bane, ana for that matter he is
not troubling his head about past
setbacks. He is wondering how
no will get on after he graduates
into the class that Wolgast is King
of Mt present.

WORLDS GREATEST CANDLE

Rome. was blessed before the altar
of st. Biagio by the Pope and win

Standing over IL feet high. weighing
over 200 pounds, and costing nearly
$1,000, the candle is made of sweet
smelling beeswax. dipped with 200 dip
pings about marvellous wick From
within foot of the top to a foot of
the bottom 1t Is embossed in gold.
The centerpiece, of cunningly wrought
gold and delicately carved wax, shows
lilies of the valley and a lovely sacred
picture. The manufacturer will not
tell the name Of the person who or.
dered the candle. saying:
when one has prayed long and
ceaselessly to the saints for health he
does not parade his generous attitude.
He lays what he has upon the altar
and goes silently on his way"
st. Biagio is the patron saint Of
those who suffer from disease Of the
throat. 1t is the tradition that he
miraculously cured a little girl of
throat disease while on his way to
martyrdom in the early days of the
church.

IS HOLY GRAIL IN GENOA?

A large green cup. hexagonai in
shape, which according to popular be-
lief was used by Christ and his apos-
ties at the Last Supper. is treasured
in the Church of st. Lawrence. at
Genoa. Italy. Its history goes much
further back than that event, as 1t is
claimed that it was present from the
Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. 1t
has been in Genoa since 1101, where
1t was brought by knight from the
Holy Land after the First Crusade.
For centuries it was not touched, al
though many Of the faithful wished
to adorn it with precious stones. This
was due not only to piety but to a
fear on the part Of citizens that
should 1t be broken. pilgrims would
cease to visit Genoa. 1t was thought
at one time that it was cut from an
enormous emerald. Napoleon took 1t
with him to Paris. persuaded of its
high intrinsic worth. Scientists con-
firmed the suspicion that it was made
of glass. and Genoans got it back at
pretty much their own figure.

This tree was 81 feet in girth near its
