better at that station than Witt
CuriOusly enough, Del GainOr, the
great young first baseman of the De-

was a sensation, he was out of the
game with injuries whenever the
Tigers came here, and it is the same
again this. season.

AL KAUFMAN SICK;

San Francisco, Calf, July 16-The
unexpected illness of Al Kaufman, who
was TO have fought Charley Miller be-
fore the Tuxedo clug at Dreamland
rink on the night of July 81, has
brought a serious halt in the white

and forced TO take to his bed.
eddie Graney,s promoter and match
maker, says that the date he holds will
not be Cancelled. He is negotiating
with Charley Horn, another local heavy
weight, to meet Miller. Horn disposed

Jim Flynn, in easy fashion a few nights
ago. Tim McGrath, manager for Horn,

WOLGAST AND RIVERS
IN A MERRY .SOUABBLE

Los Angeles. Cal, July I6.-Ad VOL
CAST, champion lightweight, and Joe
Rivers, over whom he gained a ques-
tionable decision here July 4. are in a
war Of words rather than fists. Hooks
of phrases and counters or repartee
form the combat.
Joe Levy, manager of the Mexican
battIer, has the following to say:
Il am tired of keeping my foot on
the soft pedal and waiting. hat in
hand, for Ad WOlgast to attach his
signature to the articles for a return
match with Joe Rivers. I consider
that Joe Rivers is rightfulIy entitled
TO the lightweight championship right
now, but we would sooner win it again
from the combat
We have waited since the last bout
for Wolgast' to sign up. He has shown
no desire whatever to do so, putting
it off from day to day with various
excuses, the last OF which is today's
story Of the broken hand. Therefore, I
demand that WOlgast Immediately give
Rivers the recognition that was denied
him by the referee in the last fight
From several sources 1 am given to
understand that WOlgast demands a
side-bet. and, while I am not a gam
bier, If WOlgaSt insists we will accom-
mOdate him with a bet Of $4,000 at the
prevailing odds, and viii cut the gate
receipts any way he may desire, or
will box, the winner take all.
IF WOlgast is sincere in his desire
for another bout. now is the time for
him to declare himself If Wolgasts
hand is really broken, which I doubt
we can sign articles now, with the pro-
vision that he be allowed time enough
for it to get thoroughly we'll
If I do not get any definite action
from WOlgast within IS hours. I will,
on behalf Of Joe Rivers, claim the
lightweight championship of the world,

BRONX BUILDING ACTIVITY
Many New Homes Being Erect

RAND transit developments are at
tracing operators back TO the upper
Broadway line, especially TO the stretch
through the western Bronx from Marble
Hill to Yonkers.
Builders have followed the subways
through the eastern Bronx and over
Washington Heights until the country Is
improyed with a dense population. The
congestion is increasing fast. Within a
few years these sections promise to be
as overcrowded as are most parts OF
residential Manhattan.
There is a wide stretch Of good resi-

which has not been attractive TO build

facilities of transportation. With the
active execution Of the dual subway
system protects, however. IL is loom

extensions Of the new subways will open
all of the western section TO quick COM

ness centres. The western Bronx
branches will practically connect with
the present Broadway subway, which
starts the Van Cortlandt Park section,
thus giving that magnificent residential
territory two separate subway lines

Many new building operations are be-
ing planned In the Van Cortlandt dis

pansion which is sure TO result from the
new rapid transit projects is expected TO

profitable land enhancements in the
Broadway section.
AS Broadway through the Washington
