KNOCKS OUT CONLEY
Joe Rivers Too Much for Wisconsin
Lad in II Rounds.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 2.-Joe
Rivers of Los Angeles. knocked out
frankie Conley of Kenosha, Wis, in
the eleventh round of their SEIZED uled
2O-round fight at Vernon.
At no time did Conley have the least
chance to win, and only once, in the
first round when he put a stiff left to
Rivers jaw as the latter was backing
away and sent him to the floor, did he
land a blow that seriously interfered
with Rivers.
1t was one of the fastest fights be-
tween featherweights ever seen in the
Vernon ring. Rivers fought all around
Coniey. His favorite combination was
a left jab and a vicious right to Con
ley's face.
In the seventh Rivers had Conley all
but out. but could not land on a vital
spot. COnley's face was a fearful sight
by this time His eyes were nearly
closed and he was bleeding from half
dozen cuts, while Rivers bore but one
mark, a slight cut on his nose.
In the eleventh, after fighting for a
few moments in the center of the ring,
Rivers rushed and threw Conley's head
back with a terrific right to the jaw.
Rivers kept after him and landed left
and right to body and face until Con-
ley fell limp over the ropes, head
downward, and suffered, for the first
time in his ring career, a clean knock
out. Rivers is now in line for q match
with the winner of the Attel-Kilbane
fight. which occurs at Vernon Febru-
airy g.
Bobby Waugh of Texas knocked out
Jimmy Giblin, whom Manager Tom
Jones touted as a possible successor
to Wolgast, in the eighth round of
l9-rOund preliminary.

IIrs PRETTY SOFT FOR BROWN
Either Way He Turns Good Salary
Awaits Him.

Chicago, Jan. AT last the outlaw
league seems to be a certainty as a
competitor for popularity with the
majors. It is expected that next season
will see the new league successfully
launched, with eight of the principal
baseball cities included in the lineup.
One of the first steps taken by the
local outlaw manager, Billy Niesen,
came when he announced that he may
be able to secure Pitcher MOrdecai
Brown, the famed twirler of the
Cubs, as manager.
This puts Brown in a particularly
envious position, for he will drop into
a soft berth either in the one league
or the other, with plenty of money as
the central attraction either way he

IN Chicago told yesterday why they
had chosen him for the position.
Dickson came to our road from
the Burlington only year ago" one
of them said yesterday. When he left

of transportation, and that means that
he had risen mighty quickly. He be-

Mr.. Dickson is not college train

his supreme curiosity and stick-to-
itiveness.
He always wished to know the
reason for everything" F. J. Elliot,
connected with the Alaska line said
last night. He began as a steno-
grapher, and after learning all there
was to that business, set himself
straightway to finding out how the
other railway wheels went round. And
he found out, too, for he is the most

sister of Lewis Helen RuTS1aD was
found dead ihsthe attic of her home
near here last September In the morn
ing of the day of her death her step
mother had whipped her and bound her
to the studding of the attic because Of
an alleged falsehood the Girl had told
her. It was oreSof the hottest days of
the year in Shis vicinity and the con-
sequent heat in the attic was increased
by an incubator in, opera ton.
The testimony was that Lewis came
home in the evening and went to the
attic where he berated the girl for her
behavior and made fun OF her position.
Lewis admitted this but denied that he
had used force on the girl Medical ex-
animation showed. however, that the
child's neck had been broken in two
places and in such a maHuer that ac-
cording to the physicians, 1t could not
have been caused by hanging.

petition, to file with District Judge A.
IL Huston of Guthrie, wherein he will
seek to compel the Chicago, Rock

years ago, or else have its main line,
from east to west through Arkansas
and Oklahoma paralleled by the Rock
Island system.
Il am confident that the papers and
records, that will show this forced
sale of the Choctaw to the Rock
Island, are on file in the Rock Island s
offices somewhere" declared the at
torney general, but this far the COM
pany has lodged every effort made to
produce that much wanted evidence.
I expect to get it, however. through a
court ORDER
West wants this evidence in his
case, pending in the district court here
now, to dissolve the Rock Island Rail
Coal company, which controls produc-
ing mines in the McAlester district.
The original order, seeking the disco
luton, was filed in September and is
similar to that issued in Missouri,
during the trial to separate the Stand
ard and Waters-Pierce Oil companies.
The Rock Island is resisting the order
In this case West asks that all the
records and books of the Rock Island
system be brought into court here in
order that he may get the evidence
that he desires. The company's at
tOrneys have filed an answer to the
effect that to comply with the West
demand would stop the New York
stock exchange. West says, when he
went to New York to- see the com
pany's records, that they were switch
ed on ahead of him from New York
to New Jersey. then into Delaware
and back to New York.
