neat trimming in their 10-round session
at Milwaukee last Monday.
Reports from the Wisconsin city state
that Moha never gave Eddie chance to
get set rushing him around the ring from
the first round until the gong rang ending
the tenth round. This puts Moha in the
running as claimant of the middleweight
title, while MCGoorty must defeat some of
the lesser lights before he can hope to get
on with the real stars.

ways Makes a Bargain
Before Entering the Ring
By Ed. Curlev.

NEW YORK, March PIT am
" a fighter for what's in the
game, and when find some
thing that pays me better than box
ing l will give up fighting"
This is what Joe Rivers, the
Mexican lightweight, had to say
when asked why he took up pugi-
lism. And to show that he lives
up TO this commercial idea, he
went on TO explain that he never
has fought when the money was to
be split. so much to the winner and
so much to the loser. He always
makes a bargain beforehand, and
whether he wins or loses, gets a
certain amount. And so good a
bargainer is Rivers and such
good financier is his manager. Joe
Levy, that they usually get a lot
more money than the other fell

Rivers is trim little brown man,

head even though Leach Cross
showed over his best punch.
The little Mexican is only a
youngster, having just passed his
twenty first birthday He has been
fighting since he was 16, and in
that time has had % or 26 bat
ties. He has tasted the bitter
ness of defeat, but has always come
back in good shape and shows no
loss Of confidence in his ability to
beat the world. After he gets
through with Leach Cross, whom
he is scheduled to fight next, he
wants a chance at Willie Richie,

SAVE YOURSELF, SHOP EARLY.
DR.. Dixon's Seasonable Advice to the
Many People Who Do Christmas
Shopping.

Shopping.
For the next five weeks 2,500,0O0
women in Pennsylvania will be
busily engaged in their Christmas
shopping. Under ordinary circum-
stances 60 per cent. of it will be
done within the last ten days. The
old adage about the early bird Sc
curing the delectable morsel seems
to fail to lure buyers from their hab-
it of chronic procrastination.H Not
only is it of financial advantage to
the individual and of benefit to the
thousands of employees of shops, but
early shopping may also effect a saw
ing of lives and health according to
sioner of Health.
DR.. Dixon says: The great bulk
of Christmas shopping is done by
women and if they realized the enor-
nous saving of nervous energy
which would result from shopping
early, early in the holiday season
and early in the day, there would be
less need for preachments of this
important subject. The mind is in a
better condition in the morning to
make the necessary decisions, ones
Judgment is naturally affected by
ones physical condition. Then, too
the atmosphere in the stores is bet
ter earlier in the day and there is
far less congestion of the transporta-
tion lines. Under crowded condi-
tons the air becomes vitiated, and
as a result, the vitality of the indi-
