RIVERS AND CROSS
GET DRAW DECISION
Mexican BattIer SIackens Speed Toward

of the Fast Pace.

New York. April 9.-Joe Rivers the
Mexican lightweight. and Leach Cross,
OF this city. who met here two months
ago in a bout in which Rivers had a de-
Cided advantage. fought 10 rounds to a
draw at the St. Nicholas Athletic CLUB
last night
Cross fought a surprisingly good
fight and his Improvement over his
previous showing was marked. II
looked at first as though he had been
weakened by making the required
Weight-he was down TO 132 = ringside
but in the later rounds he showed up
stronger than his opponent. Rivers
weighed in at 1873
Rivers had the advantage in the first,
second. third and fifth rounds. The
fourth and sixth were even. with both
men fighting hard. The four remaining
rounds went to Cross. In these Rivers
appeared to slow up and was inclined
to clinch. while the New Yorker took
the aggressive.
In the opening Rivers landed several
left jabs and Dppercuts and at infight-
ing was CrOss's superior In the second
round Rivers landed a damaging left
hook and right uppercut, Cross seem
ingly waiting to find an opening for
his famous right swing.
In the sixth round Rivers showed the
effects Of the hard pace. In the seventh
he tripped over CrOss's feet, but was up
Immediately Cross had a good margin
in the remaining rounds. The draw de-
ciSiOn was well received.

which won four pennants for Frank
Chance, may be hobnObbing in the outer
defence Of the Cardinal club before the
1913 season is far advanced That's a
tip which comes straight from Cub
HEADQUARTERS, and it's worthy Of more
than passing consideration
one reason for the belief is the fact
that the Cubs have asked waivers on
Sheckard, and manager Hugglns helu
him up and declined TO let him so pack
10 the minors This means that Sheck-
ard is Obtainable for cash consldera-
ton of $500
Sheckard showed he was still a base
ball player of merit last season, when
he scored IS runs for the Cubs-an ad-
mirable record for any star He hit -245
and stole i bases. He is esteemed one
of the smartest players in the game and
the success of the Cubs began with his
acquisition from Brooklyn
Help For Youngsters
The question arises: Would Hug
be acting wisely IN procuring Snec1ard
for a cash consideration II IS allowed
that Jimmy isn't a springer He has all
but played out his string But Sheck-
ard still has a year or two OF good Dall
left in him. and a player Of Sheckard's
class ALWAYS is q valuable asset for a
young ball club such as Hug commands.
When Arnold Hauser went to the hos
pital and Hug promptly hired Charley
O'Leary. some of the rallblrds wondered
at the fact that Hug was hiring big
league castoffs- After they got one
peek at O'Leary they marveled that
owner Hedges let Charley escape from
the American league.
