ANOTHER J0E LEVY |S HERE
Manager of Rivers Lights Down for a Space to Look Over Phoenix Once More. Tells Why Jody Lost to Welch
{ By Art Rick

Joe Levy, manager of Joe Rivers, who recently lost decision to Freddy Welch, blew in esterday-stopped, so he said, just to shake the hen house key of Louis B. Jacobs and to breathe a bit of the old Salt River ozone.
 Joe Levy, than whom there is no more astute handler of boxers in fist jana, has a lot to Say about the re- cent bout in which his little brown skinned battler took d shade from the English vegetarian.
 "On paper it was all Welch,' he said, but the ringside fans and those in the know are of the opinion that Joe Rivers lost little except the de- cision when he met Welch. The fact is, he outpointed Joe, but he did not hurt the Mexican dn any round, and all that Joe could do with the shifty Englfshman was to chase him. Wher he caught him, the foxy Freddy would hold Rivers until he could dance away It was a Marathon or hugging Rivers was never able to get his op- ponent to fight l am not trying tC take away his victory, but the world knows that little Joe can beat any boy in the game at his weight. That's not a statement for press stuff, but is
 what I think of his chances.
 "Rivers can do i33 pounds ringsidt and when you say 133 ringside, il means when the step into the ring not anywhere from six to ten hours before the fight
 But I don't want to get accused of trying to explain why my boy failed to win. and. besides, I have something that will interest the figh fans down this way, if they have beer keeping an eye on the heavyweight division. I have just signed con tract to manage Kid Kenneth of St Louis. whom I think one of the mos
 promising light heavies in the sport You know, I have always beer strong for the boy with the wallop I am firm believer in the fact tha it is the punch that anneXes the mos bacon. and this boy Kenneth has th' poppy pill in either hand.
 He is a bit green yet, but he is { | willing two-handed fighter, and I an going to take him along until he i: ! ready to step forth and shy his cas 1 ter into the heavyweight arena.

 The fighters sparring partner of the future will be a young lady. The tango danseuse will be the important figure in training camps in time to come. If fighters continue to tango they will become so adept that they will be able to quit fighting and make more money at teaching the dance. On the whole, however. tine tango in boxing should exert a pleas ant influence and while of course it will not refine the sport it may be able to make the game a little rougher Thus pleasing those who complain that fighters today are un- willing to mix.

Important matches to be shot during the three days are the National Rifle Associations individual trophy match for the handsome medal given to the best state shooter, and the thousand twelve hundred yard match with teles- copic sights. One of the features of this latter match will be the night shooting. It is planned to run a num- Der of automobiles to the range and point them so the electric head lamps will shine on the target.
