JOE RIVERS, MEXICAN FIGHTER, LOOKS LIKE
 COMING CHAMPION

Mexican Joe Rivers iss one .sgreaser''
 who isn't bothering himself just now about the revolution in the land of his ancestors. Joe has revolution of his own and within few days will don the warpaint and attempt to over- throw the kingdom of Ad Wolgast, monarch of the lightweights, and get away with the crown. And there are some good judges of the manly art of self defense, not to say offense. who believe the Mexican can turn the trick. Rivers is little heavier and looks stronger than the champion. He has shown in his many bouts that Ire doesn't know the meaning of fear. AS a boxer Joe has developed lot since his defeat by Kilbane-a defear that was due more to over confidence than to anything else. Rivers held his own against Kilbane for fifteen rounds, and he lost in the sixteenth on a fluke. The style of the Mexican is not dissimilar to that of Abe AtteH and those who had the pleasure of seeing the little Jew in his prime will admit that that is going some.
 In his personal appearance Rivers is typical Mexican, with the swarthy skin, sparkling black eyes and facial characteristics of the Latin American. He is only about twenty years old, and has been gaining weight and strength steadily since he broke into the game as a featherweight. In the ten months that have passed since his defeat by Kilbane he has outgrown the featherweight class and it IS prob able that he will also outgrow the lightweight division, in which case he may be in the unfortunate position of Packey Mcfarland. Rivers has

ST. JOES BEATEN
 BY CEDAR HILLS
(By Dunigan.)

In. spite of the fact that Manager Dunnphy secured Sonmers from New Haven to do the twirling, the St. Jo- seph's lost to the Cedar Hills in a long drawn out game. At times the game was very loosely played. Som mers proved to be no better than the St. Joe's own twirlers; in fact Tf1man pitched grand ball after reliving Som mers at the opening of the fifth.
 Although the Saints secured ten hits they were unable to hit when hits were needed, nine men being left on bases. O'Connell of the visitors se- cured three hits, two of which were doubles. Lown of the Cedar Hills also connected for two doubles, Men delsohn played his first game for the Joes and accepted six chances without miss. The loss of yesterdays game leaves the locals with two wins and four defeats Unless steps are taken to secure a first class pitcher the Joes will be entirely out of the running.
 The score:

sIDElIGHTS OF CONVENTION

A brand new story explaining the length of the deadlock is going the rounds of the convention, today. It is this:f
 The convention indulged in lit tie playful sport, Thursday, and un- expectedly failed to, make nomina- ton before midnight.
 The next day was Friday, "a very unlucky day to nominate candidate for President The next day was Sat urday-and everybody knows that you never finish anything you start on day, Lords Day and day of rest upon which thou shalt not labor. Hence, the adjournment till Monday.
 Judge J. c. J. wf1ffanls of Tennes- see, is a Harmon delegate. When the Tennessee delegation was boiled dur ing a roll call, however, he was sit ting in the front row of the gallery visiting with lady. The clerk called his name and Tennessee delegate pointed him out and said, There he is in the gallery The judge arose ssntion ~ll come and oo%e vote Vote .7e right where you are," yelled the clerk, whereupon Judge Williams sang out in loud tones:

 E. J. Giddings, of Oklahoma, grab bed some fame when he tried to make a speech condemning Bryan, declar- ing to the convention:
 q can go home to Oklahoma on my record made in this assembly," A gallery wag yelled, But you can't come back on it.
 Jerry c. Foley, of Indiana, is some joker. He Is living with six Indiana polls detectives who are taking a day off to visit the convention. This morning the detectives arose to find their boots and revolvers gone. Af- ter they had sweated blood for an hour and given the manager of the hotel nervous prostration. Foley re- turned their belongings and hasn't paid for refreshments since.
 Tom Taggart. national committee man from Indiana, is admittedly mighty popular with the women. Just why is understood when attention is given to the following news item, printed in Baltimore's local papers, today:
 sThe delegates, alternates and visi- tors from Indiana were entertained, Sunday afternoon. by National Com Taggart. With automo- piles, Mir Taggart took the party on a four hour ride and then a dinner. The trip is said to have cost him s1, oO0.'' That's a true story, too.
 There was a. sign painted on the door of William J.. Bryan's room at the Belvedere Hotel. It read: Do not knock I am asleep-W. J. B."

DICK TUCKEY
 HAS HARTFORD
 ON QUEER STREET
(By Wagner)

sTW@fl, boys we'll make a hundred eusas this inning" sang out Tobasco Ton Connery on the coach line at lseaa Breeze yesterday The Hartford lmmMager was there with the cheerful chatter every inning but the ballyhoo Istuff didn't go. Daring Dick Tuckey Aad his Union City roundhouse ball lworMing fine and the result was EBriAgeport i, Hartford 0.
 The Senstors got into Tuckey for nine hits but they were widely. sepa- lwmtmd I'm five innings the first man ldelfyered a single but TucEzey stayed on fhe ground with both feet and the enemy couldn't work a man around. xnan. touched Tuckey for three singles and a sacrifice and Crowther, the 'faEsuel mouth shortstop, collected two.
 Clyde Gsist. from the wilds of Okla horns, was Hartford's slabman. It wm@ the aTgt time he worked in this city He is a broad shouldered boy who looks as if he could move pianos if he ever has to go to work Geist didn't pass anybody nor did he cause lm h@tmmmn to swing three times in vain His only slip was hitting Har- vey Russell between the kitchen and <he @oodshed and thereby allowing the catcher to take first.
 Only alx safe blows were struck by double and single for his share so it 1t iB easy to see that. the big boy liked Geisfs wares. Red Fisher beat out slow one in the third. Jack SpratA broke through with a swat that sent in fise only run and Bob Stow had a binkle.
 The fielding was very much to the blE league. Bob Stow started a great double play in the seventh and Jack Spratt came to time with some fancy xfopa. Skipper Eley pulled down couple of dangerous looking hoists.
 Tt was i'm the opening inning that Bridgeport thumped Geist for the lone- some tally. There were two down when Crook cracked to left for three bases High didn't expect Tom to clouf im that direction 30 he had , lcn@ rsrn for the ball. Spratt pushed a single past Warmer and Crook count ed.
 Mowr@y singled and went to third on Chief Mfller's single Crowther could only tap to Tuckey and Mowrey didn't dare come home. McDonald bounced one at Sy3ratt and Jack heaved home. The hmll went high but Mowrey did not mlihe, and was out. Manager sconnsry beefed at Mowrey for not hit ting the dirt like regular player. Stow covered first on Geist's slow one and took Crooks throw pretty play.
 Tn the seventh the Senators again ecared the fans. Crowther hit for 8 sack and McDonald sacrificed. Geist drew four. balls. Irving slashed be- ed over and stopped the ball He touched Geist on his way to second and whirled to first in time to make a double killing. Harry Quinn felt 50 happy that he almost gave away a cigar The score:

BOXING EXPERTS
 PRAISE AL PALzER
LIKE JOHN l.. SULLIVAN IN PALHY DAYS.

Albert Palzer's sensational victory over Bonn bardier Wells Friday night continues to be a live topic. The fight settled one point beyond question of doubt-the gamenesS of the Ameri- can. Before the bout Tom O'Rourke. that the big fellow had a streak of yellow and surely would "dog it'' if Wells managed to hurt him. But O'Rourke evidently was wrong, fol: he saw Palzer come back under fear full punishment and win impressively in three rounds.
 If PalZer had been a quitter he would have stopped of his own ac- cord in the first round. Nobody ever saw man so completely outfought in that short space of time. Takers nose and mouth were bleeding from one punch, right hook; his right eye was closed from another straight left hand jab and a swing under the point of the jaw flattened him in such a manner that a knockout seem ed imminent. When Palzer got up his gameness and stamina were put to grillfng test. Wells cut him to pieces and made him stagger all over the ring The Englishman's attack was about the fiercest ever seen in any heavyweight battle, yet Palzer stuck it out to the end of the round.
 This strenuous spell of three min uteS SerTl60 the question as to Pal- zer's courage, for in spite of the bat terfng he increased his aggressiveness in the second and third rounds and finally got to the Briton with blows that might have stopped even Jack Johnson. At least that is the prevail ent belief, although it is freely admit ted that Johnson's offensive tactics would make the landing of such great wallops a matter of blind luck. But could Johnson hit any harder than Wells? If so, could he knock Palzer out before the latter had a chance to slug at close quarters? Johnson's weak spot is just above the belt, pre- cisely the place where Palzer planted his victorious right hand swing. Could Johnson show faster footwork than Wells in keeping away?
 There isn't the slightest doubt that Palzer today is more aggressive than was Jeffries when he won the title from Fitzsimmons at Coney Island. Sharkey. always a rllsher, was small CT. lighter and not so hard hitter as Palzer. Looking back over the champions, John L.. Sullivan seems to have been reproduced in this husky Iowa farmer, who is natural born fighter with bulldog courage and a knockout punch.
