The national game is too big, too

have its patrons so abused and put TO
so much inconvenience for such
very cheap return as the recovery OF

of the dark ages of the sport before

to secure a foul ball either as SOU

months that Tyrus wanted to change

Jack Hendricks, manager of the Den

Ad Wolgast has informed promoter
McCarey that any promoter who will
give him a fight with Willie Richie
can make out his own ticket Wolgast
says that he need not worry over the
finances, as after Richie is paid the
promoter can give him whatever he
likes. Richie has announced that he
is willing to meet Ad, although he
thinks that Rivers would be a better
drawing card than the exchamp.
Tim McGrath has accepted AIcCarey's
terms for bout, on August y, between
Campi and Williams. Sammy Harris,
manager Of Williams, asks a $4,000
guarantee to box Campi 20 rounds. This
is more money than Harris ever got
for his bantam star. and it looks as
though McCarey's troubles are not

That story about Joe Rivers quittink
to Willie Richie may or may not have
some foundation IL truth, but the yarn
about Richie wanting 10 quit, and Riv-
ers beating him TO it, is the funniest
thing I've read in a long time.
According to the latest dream Willie
was in bad shape during the early
rounds and showed signs of the white
feather. As far as that goes, the de-
tailed sccounts of the figbf gave Rivers
the best Of the first few rounds If
Richie isn't game, and wanted to quit,
why didn't he2 He was getting the
worst of 1t and would have had a first

guns and took his medicine like a man,

kept right on fighting until he had

is history.
AS for Rivers logging it, I don't
know. 1t is easy enough for some to
circulate a yarn about boxer quitting
under punishment, and still easier to
get the public to accept it as gospel
But let me tell you something. A
boxer who has climbed so high in his
division as this young Rivers can't be
very yellow" . For that matter it
takes a gone man to be a fighter, If
only a poor one.
As I sized the fight up. it was sim

a better one Rivers had proved him

soon whether he will be able to fight
again OF not. If he finds that he
can't round into condition to defend the
tire and let the rest of the young
sters fight for the title But until that
time he should be left alone.
COulOn has been fighting for nine
years and worked hard to get where
he is. Williams is only a beginner in
comparison and has plenty time ahead
to win the title, if he's good enough.
Johnny would be a very foolish boy to
risk his hard-earned laurels If not in
the best of condition. While, like every
other lover Of the sport, I am anxious
TO see Coulon defend the title at the
earliest possible date, I would hate
like the dickens to see him come into
the ring In no shape to do himself JUS

recent victims was Gus Platts, the
EnSliShman, who came to this country
to show Americans how to box. Gus
arrived here heralded as the best of the
weight the old country has produced
in years. Glover had no trouble to
convince Platts that he doesn't be-
long.
According to GIover's manager. with
the euphOnic monaker of Clarence Gil
1espie, the Boston boy IS anxious to
box any legitimate WelterWeight in the
country, over any distance, ard at any
weight from 140-to 145 ringside. Which
shows that Mike is a liberal minded
young man and not inclined to fight
over a pound or two.
Glover has already issued challenges
to number of the leading Welters of
the country, but complains that the
stars are afraid to meet him Mike
has even been so bold as to throw down
the gauntlet to Packey Mcfarland and
Mike Gibbons, and viii allow the latter
to weigh las ringside- Which IS per-

FRIENDS.

Friends are essentials. Just as air
and food and clothing are essentials.
For is not he who has no friends
lacking and lonely and useless? Who
ever heard of useless man having
friends? Like attracts like. No one
er secured friend without first
vibrating the friend spirit within
himself.
TO get friend you must be a
friend.
The friend art is heart art--all
else cheapens it. He to whom we talk
and confide and trust is but another
of us thansplanted where courage
and cheer and kindness is ever alert.
We go to our friend and he lifts US
ur and we feel him coming back to
bis own again-in ourselves.
A friend Is a mutual partner with
whom we need no signed agreements.
1t is said OF Carlyle and Tennyson
that they would sit for hours togeth-
or without the passing Of word and
then separate. And both inspired and

There is no particular reason why
any one is bound to discuss the Suizer

this far away from New York the case

of us who are prone to believe evil OF

accused is guilty until his Innocence is
proved beyond the possibility OF the
shadow of a doubt might easily have
settled the guilt of Sulzer to ON entire
