RIVERS ANDCROSS
ABOUT EQUAL

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.--Among
the thousands of fight fans who
swarmed into the hall to witness
the 10-round battle here between
Leach Cross, the East Side fight
ing dentist, and Mexican Joe
Rivers of Los Angeles, the ques-
tion OF supremacy is today still
in doubt. Throughout the ten
rounds the men battled furiously,
each using his utmost skill to
turn the tide in his favor, but
with little advantage.
During the early rounds,
Cross determination to make a
short fight of 1t was apparent.
Mexican Is FlOOred
In the second round the crowd
went wild when Cross sent the
Mexican to the floor with swift
left hook. 1t looked like a knock
out and the din that followed was
deafening. Rivers was on his
feet instantly, however, but the
blood trickled from his nose.
Cross then took to cover, showing
little relish to rush the fighting.
From this round on until the
ninth it was give and take, both
boys using every trick and bit of
science they possessed.
Beginning the ninth, Rivers
tried to break through the dem
lists defense. He sent in many
we'll timed blows that would have
ended the battle, had Cross not
been in the finest condition.
The tenth round was a whirl-
wind. Rivers dashed out with
both hands, strengthening Cross
up several times with hard right
uppercuts.

s'Ten me the history OF DrussenIand, -
I said.
Jasar told it to me, hurryfng through
the legendary part, diIating fully on
that which was known to be true. The
Drussenlanders were the descendants
of great army gathered from all the
nations OF the world-so1 Jasar said
which was led into country beyond
the hills to fight for the true religion.
Year after year this army, constantly
recruited, fought with varying success,
and at last came peace. Some return
ed home again; some remained In the
land OF their warfare, took wives Of
the daughters of the land, and wan
dered forth to find a city to dwell in.
So they had come to Drussenland, and,
as the years passed, became great
people. This was the legendary part
which .Jasar said might have some
truth In 1t.
To me it seemed clear. These peo-
pie were descended from the survivors
of the last crusade.
Ever and again the princess would
lead me to consider my present posi-
ton. No ancient history could help
me in that.
1.-THE days pass swiftly" she said.
