BROWN BEGINS TO
SHOW HIS CLASS

Los Angeles, Feb. 2o.-Today will
wind up the season of hard training
for Joe Rivers and Knockout Brown.
Both boys have attained practically
perfect shape and are within such easy
striking distance of the required
weight that the drying out process
will make it easy for them to show
under the agreed limit at scale time.
Brown has loosened up a bit in his
workouts with his sparring partners
and is showing the fans the punches
that enabled him to win 100 out of 1872
fights by the knockout route. He has
shift that beats anything Ketchel
ever used. and 1t is this punch that he
hopes will eliminate Rivers from the
lightweight contention
Funny how little real fighting in
training bouts will affect the betting
fraternity. Since Brown began to pun
mel his sparring partners around. his
hackers. the short-enders. have begun
to tickle the market a bit, and the
odds are remaining stationary at 1o

than has appeared heretofore. How
