the battle.
1t has come to this: Joe WoIcott,
once the greatest welterweight pugil-
ist in the world, has been sentenced
to six months in jail. Only few
years ago Wolcott would have had
hundreds Of friends to get him out of
his trouble, but now he goes to Jail
without a dissenting voice. IT'S we'll
to always remember that tomorrow
is another day and to prepare today
for tomorrow.

Preston Brown, colored fighter, is
a big favorite down in Philadelphia
and the promoters are doing their
level best to secure some boy to give
him hard battle. Patsy Kline, the
local celebrity. has been selected to
meet Brown at the National A. G. In
Quakertown tomorrow afternoon, and
the fans there are sure to see an in
teresting contest. Kline and Brown
fought few weeks ago and Philadel-
phia went wild over the bout. Kline
won by a shade and there has been
a clamor ever since for a return
match. Patsy was around yesterday
after doing long Jog on the road.
He said that Brown was tough
black boy, but that he expected to
beat him.
1.-THE fans down in Philadelphia like
Brown and they admit he is a good
boy, but I'm going down there with
the intention of knocking him out,
and then I'll be big favorite there"

Out of the fight between Joe Rivers
and Leach Cross will likely come an
opponent for Champion Willie
Ritchie. Rivers and Cross are billed
to meet tomorrow in Los Angeles and
Joe Is the favorite In the betting,
notwithstanding the great battle
Leach put up against Ritchie recent
ly in the Garden. OF course. If you
go back to the two Rivers-Cross
fights in New York, you would have
to make Rivers the betting choice,
but since then Richie has beaten
Rivers decisively and Cross has given
reer. But you can never quite figure
Cross. He gives you a wonderful
battle of aggressiveness one day and
a week later he will stall and duck
and clinch against a third-rater.
C
Rivers showed rare class In his
bouts in New York, yet on the coast
they say he is "bloody dunghill."
He will fight like a Trojan, 1t seems,
for just so long. and when the battle
becomes very warm he simply takes
an educated "Brodie'' and is counted
out. California sports declare that
Rivers quit to Johnny Kilbane. to Ad
Wolgast and to Willie Ritchie, and
at a time in each instance when he
had not the worst of the going, He
will go like sixty for ten rounds, but
when the contest goes along much
further, why, Joe simply "gives up
the ship" Cross, on the other hand,
is dead game" and he will go any
distance. He will surely be put wise
to Rivers and he will likely fight ac-
cordingly. If Leach could be depend
ed upon to repeat the fight he gave
Richie he would look like winner,
but as have remarked before. on
the two Rivers-Cross fights in New
York, Joe is surely entitled to the
call in the betting.
