CROSS MANAGES TO
WIN OVER RIVERS
BY II. NJ. WALKER.

Los ANGELES. Aug. 12-Revers-
ing an ancient and honored custom
of the ring, Leach Cross won a fight
from Joe Rivers.
For 20 rounds the old rivals bat
tied all over the Vernon ring and at
the last twang of the bell Referee
Charles F. Eyton awarded the plum
to the New Yorker. The novelty Of
the situation appeared TO peeve Joe
considerably.
THE best fight l ever saw" said
few hundred of the blase ringsiders
and these words should act as a balm
to Cross and Rivers who have been
accused of leaning"
The press agent promised us a
"grudge" bout and a regular fight il
was with the fainting Of a spectator
from excitement as one of the Incl
dents.
Probably two of the most evenly
matched men in the American ring.
Rivers and Cross, trained 10 physical
perfection and keyed TO the highest
notch. fought through the sixty min
ute schedule without a knOckdOWn.
With possibly two exceptions, Rivers
was the aggressor in every round.
Upon as many as a dozen occasions
Cross was either sprawled back over
the ropes or crouching between them
with the Californian on top OF him.

Pitchers usually grab of a nick

be appropriate. for ne pitched and
woa two games both OF them shut

performance was that he was going

ne was in the first. The counts were
= 10 and 2 20 0.
IL is no remarkable feat 10 try 10
win two games in one afternoon, but
the actual winning IS another thing.
The reason for this attempt and the
resulting success was the fact that
the HOLSTERS appear against the Mt.
Clemens Bathers. an aggregation Of
left hand hitters and South Bends
sidewheelers. Williams and Louder

These two games put the HOOsiers

Of the column. Whether the Crickets
