He was entitled to the de- cision.

FAVOR RIVERS
 OVER K. Q. BROWN
BETTING ODDS WILL BE TO 1
 BEFORE SATURDAYS BOUT.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 18-Joe Riv- CTS will be am overwhelming favor ife over K. O. Brown for their fight next Saturday afternoon unless some Brown money shows on the market mighty soon. Opening a 10 to fla vorfte last week, odds on the Mexican have gradually frightened with the absence of Brown money, until yester- day Rivers was quoted by all betting comm Tnissioners at 10 to '.
 ttI expect to get to for my money,'' declared Dan Morgan, Browns manager, several days ago, and it begins to look as though Dumb Dan" will get it.
 Rivers workout yesterday seems to have made him the unanimous choice of the local bettors in the event that the bout goes the scheduled distance. About the only chance credited to Brown is via the knockout route He is an awkward miller, and some; Of Rivers admirers fear the Mexican will find it difficult to adjust himself to Browns new style of fighting. This might enable Brown to land a crack on Rivers jaw hard enough to win the fight
 The fact that Brown is said to. have shaded Wolgast when the former champion was at his best also does not appear to be considered by Rivers following The Dutchman'S chances of being able to put over a sleep wal Ion, are looked upon as being so slight that a wager at odds of 3 to 1 was laid today that he would not win in- side of ten rounds

WHEN CABRERA WAS
 SHOWN POKER PLAYING
Cuban ShOrtstOp, Formerly With Wa
 terbury, Wasn't So Bad.

If $enor Cabrera doesn't live up to his reputation in the great American outdoor game, there is still a chance for him to make the great American when he gets into the American asso- citation next season. That is he has such chance if the following story is true and if it isn't true, 1t ought to be. It has to do with a. little poker game alleged to have been played in ans as Art Nichols and Mutt Waters were bqISily engaged in getting money from less experienced and therefore more enthusiastic players. It's well enough to know that ball players of opposing clubs are friendly enough off the field, and when some of them started to gamble on the green cloth in Waterbury one night, Cabrera, with Cuban eyes sticking out so far that they almost hit the money on the table looked on for a few min utes with marked interest. About the time some Of the players had begun to think it too bad that the Cuban's money couldn't be spent in the coun- try of white men instead of being sent to the island, Cabrera was seen to be if intent on making up his mind what its nature was. Waters had raked in an unusually big pile and Cabrera could apparently contain himself no longer. His part in the rest of it re- counted as something like this:
 Cabrera-What is that game, play ing cards? would like to try him.
 Nichols-Come on in Cabby, waters fine.
 Cabrera-But I know nothing at all about deeS game.
 Waters (chuckling at the ancient joke)-Oh, you'll learn all right, all right
 Room is made for Cabrera, the value

Just before he tackled Tommy Ginty at Eagles hall last night, Al KetcheIl signed up for another bout in Bridge port this week Thursday night he vii don the gloves with Miss Edna Howard, of Roehm's Athletic Girls, at Polls theatre. The exhibition, which will go three rounds, will be a special added attraction to this num- Der of the regular Poli program.
 Al saw Miss Howard boxing at the theatre at the matinee yesterday, and before the evening show he was signed up for an exhibition bout at Polls Thursday night Miss Howard is dem onstrating AIS favorite ''one-two'' punch along with the favorite waIIops of other noted ,pugilists.
 Miss Howard told Al that she wouldn't ask; any mercy of him when they meet Thursday night and gave him permission to wallop just as if working at Eagles hall. Miss Howard has been in exhibitions with Johnny Kilbane, now featherweight champion, and Leach Cross, the fighting dentist. The latter punched out one of Miss Towards front teeth. then he took her around to his dentistry parlors and replaced it with a store specimen,

ATHLETICS AND
 LEARNING AT YALE
SALARIES OF PRESIDENT TAFT AND COACH JONES CAUSE
 MUCH COMMENT.

New Haven, Feb. 1s-Much com ment has arisen locally since the an nouucement of the appointment of Howard s. Jones as Yale's new foot ball coach at salary given as $4s- GOO per year Comparisons are con stantIy cropping up between this sal ary and that to be paid to President Taft, who comes here about the same time to take up his duties as a Yale professor.
 Three years on the football field, $4.OOO, xs four years in the White House plus many years at the bar and on the bench, $5,000. President William Howard Taft will come here within a. couple of months as a full professor at Yale at the second nam ed salary. He will bring to Yale one of the most richly stored and gifted legal minds in the United States. Th1r- ty-five years out of college, four years at the head of this great United States government, President Taft will get S1, 600 more a year than Howard s. Jones. five years out of college and rich with the knowledge of the grid iron Whats the answer?
 Even more glaring is the disparity however when the salary of $1O,O00 for Coach Brooke at University o4 Pennsylvania and that of Percy Haughton, the coach of Harvard 8 championship football team are con- eidered. Haughton, according to con- aervative reports. draws $500 a year to teach football to the cri1nson's war riors Where does the professor with his years of training and equipment come in?

TOM JONES AND WOL CAST PART ONCE
 MORE; PAL BROWN AFTER W. RITCHIE

He will find Murphy in the best of condition, for the New Yorker has been training hard for some time past for he realizes his chance to get to the top. It will be now or never, and Tommy intends to make the most of the opportunity. Should Murphy happen to put one over on Ad he would become the big card on the
 coast and Ritchie would be compelled to give him a chance at the title. And while the 1SS pound boys on the coast are chasing Ritchie for a match Pal Brown, the Mfnnesota sensation, Is quietly going about his business, meet ing all corners in the division and pre- the proper way. Pal has written the
 writer to the effect that he wants to
 meet Rftc11ie, but that he has not the wherewfth to demand recognition. but he will go to the extent of $1,0oo on a side bet He says he will deposit the money with any paper Ritchie or his manager, Billy Nolan, may name, as q forfeit, the same to go as a side bet, and he has every reason to believe that friends in Minneapolis and Du-' Iuth will add another $2,000 to his bit The trouble is that fighters now adays do not pay much attention to legitimate challenges, but watch for the big money offers, whether against a dub or a worthy challenger. The Minnesota boy, however, is coming fast, the same as Wolgast did when he was climbing, and if perseverance, will succeed Pal has a, chance to get to the top. He is full of ambition and confidence and he comes from good old fighting stock.

Beecher made the pace so fast that Scanlan spent most of the time protecting himself and get little opportunity to do any lead sng.

THORPE FAILS

St Louis Mo, Feb. 1s-John J. Mo Graw, the Little Napoleon of baseball, spent two hours here last night en route to the Giants training camp at Marlin Springs, Texas. With Mo Graw came i-Christy'' Mathewson and Wilbert Robinson. Jim Thorpe, the world famous athlete, was expected to be with AIcGraw, but the manager said he had not seen the Indian. Tesreau Wi1tse, Ames and several other Giants met McGraw at the Planters Hotel. At eight o'clock last night the pioneers for the Southland left for Texas.
 afwhere is 'Rube' Marquard ?'' a Tan inquired of McGraw-
 .'Search me- replied McGraw.
 ~Can the New York club get along without the great southpaw?'' persist ed the fan"
 why such a silly question ?'' eountered McGraw. ''The New York club won pennants and worlds cham pions41ips before Ndarquard ever was heard of. We have 'Matty,' and Jeff Tesreau and Hooks Wiltse to say nothing of some promising young fTfngers. We developed Marquard in 1911, Tesreau in 1912, and if Marquard persists in vaudeville instead of re- porting for practice we'll get busy and manufacture another fphenom.' I'm not worrying about Marquard.
