JOE RIVERS DOWNFALL
 DUE TO HAYNES.
Mexican Liaht~eight Had Good
 Chances, But Lacked Ambition.

The end has come to Joe Rivers, the Mexican lightweight, who once was known as one of the greatest cham pionship contenders. Rfvers was knocked out in the second round by Frankie Callahan in Memphis tn other night.
 Had Rivers lodged the knockout he would have met Joe Shugrue in Mil waukee. If he had stayed through the ten rounds with Shugrue the Mexican would have been booked for profitable ma tcl1es here.
 Rivers has been a consistent loser for the last year. Conceit and the hookworn put him out of the front ranks. Rivers always has believed he was the best lightweight in the world train properly. Probably no other fighter eNer loafs as much as Rivers does in his training quarters.
 He picked Callahan for an easy mark ani was knocked out Now Rivers is done.
 The Mexican was as near the light weight championship as any man ever gets without actually snagging the crown. Or July 1, 1912, Rivers fought Ad Wolgast, then champion. Wolgast won with a knockout in the 18th round hut the decision always has been disputed.
 II vas such 2, furious fight that both Woigast and Rivers were out on their feet. Wolgast pushed rather than hit Rivers, and the Mexican went down. Wolgast fell on the referee. who most of the men who were at the singside say, held up Wolgast while counting out Rivers. IL was as near 3 double knockout as ever occurs outside of fiction,

BASEBALL MAGNATEs AWAIT
 JUDGE LAN0Is' DECISION.
Final Arguments in Federal League Antitrust Suit Made Saturday.

Judge I4aadis Saturday night at Chicago took under advisement the prayer of the Federal league for temporary injunction against the leading bodies of organized baseball to restrain them from interfering with it's players and from prosecuting the several suits against them. Final ar gument on the motion was made by F. B. Gates of Indianapolis for the plain tiff and the court then granted the defendants 20 days in which to file answers to the original bill of com plaint. Should the court grant or deny the temporary injunction asked. the case will be tried later on it's merits
 Gates, summing up the case for the Federal league, charged that the de- fendants constituted a monopoly in restraint of trade and commerce: re- ferred to the intervening suits of Lee 2Tagee and others in support of the involuntary Servitude charge. and dealt on the workings of the reserve and 1O-day clauses.
 The final days arguments left un- settled the question of the courts jurisdiction and the other phases of the case, which the defense holls may result in q victory for it's side These phases include the charge of "un- clean hands, and it's appeal against tearing down a structure which organ iscd ball took 40 years to build.
 Judge Landis did not indicate how soon his decision would be made The 20 days granted the defendants in which to file answers is the period al- lowed by law and will not affect the time of the decision

 WHITE HOPE
Jack Johnson Has Hold Heavyweiaht
 Title Since 19tG..


 NoW that Jess Willard, the west err cowboy. has been matched to fight Jack Johnson for the heavy weight championship of the world the date fixed and money posted, the anvil chorus is being sounded by the disappointed ones. Jack Johnson has held the worlds championship since held the worlds title since July 4th, 910. During the intervening four and 2. half years until today the world has been ransacked to find q White Hope who would prove a attempt has been met by failure. Jess kNiuaru, who is a Veritable young giant, being feet 1 inches tall. weighing 290 pounds, and having a symmetrical build, looked to be the most likely candidate There was fey, Battling LSsvinslzy and 2. half dog en other lesser lights who demanded recognition. but there was no syndf- cate in America who cared to take a chance on anF of those mentioned.
 Prior to negotiations with Johnson for a match, no club was willing to offer a purse for q contest between Willard and the other candidates: in fact, some of them turned the pro- posed match down. The moment ar tiCles were signed, the match posted and date of a Johnson Willard bout . frantic to get a crack at the giant cowboy. Their cohorts and admirers are now denouncing Willard and his manager for passing up all contests Tom Jones and Jack C,urley are sim piv following up the traditions of the ring set by John L. Sullivan on the inception of the Marquis Of Queens berry rules Sullivan never took part in any matches after he had signed articles for a championship battle Corbett, his successor, pursued the same policy, immediately he was matched to meet Sullivan, William A.

 There has been some doubt as 10 whether the English oarsman could return to the United States when he planned.

PRINCETON LEADS INTERcoL-
 LEGlATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Tigers Still Remain Unbeaten-cerneII
 Ranks Second.

Painting hard, but holding the pace Princeton, the dark horse candidate for the intercollegiate basketball league championship, leads with a clean slate of three victories in one of the most surprising upsets in the history of the circuit Close behind the Tiger clan is Cornell with as many victories and one defeat The Ithacans battered down the Yale team Saturday night and so got revenge for 9 defeat they suffered at the hands of the New Haven five earlier in the season
 Columbia, toute6 by Coach Fisher as one of the best teams he has coached and one that ought to go through the season without a defeat, has been bounced upon so badly that it is lucky to be in fourth place. After a prom = ising preliminary season the Blue and White quintette went to Dartmouth to start the league schedule. It trounced Dartmouth by 33 to II. But the trip sent Calder. Lee and Dwyer to the in- grip germs out of their systems Princeton and Pennsylvania had de- feated the champions the Tigers by two points and the Quakers by three.
 Pennsylvania has completed half her schedule and with Dartmouth may be said to be out of the race. With a team that would win the championship in an ordinary season. the Quakers have been forced out of the running by losing four games.
 There never was a. season when foul shooters were in such demand. Mo NichoI leads the individual scorers, not because he Is 8 scTimmage star, but because he has tallied 57 goals from the foul line. Brown of Cornell has scored 5S points. 32 of them being from foul. Paulson. the Princeton for ward, is third with 57 points, and Cap tain Benson Of Columbia. is fourth with 80 points. Benson, the star of last years foul shooters, has been away off form, which accounts in a, measure for the two defeats suffered by his team
 Benson said yesterday that the team winning this years title will not escape with less than two defeats, so he ha sn't given up hope. The close scores and extra periods of play, he added, prove that the teams so far are evenly matched and will keep each other down when Columbia returns to her own.
 Although the game is more open than in previous years, the scores have been low, only two teams getting over 90 points in a game. Yale defeated Penn 37 to 27 while Columbia trounced Dart mouth B to Il. Perhaps the best equipped team for defense is Yale with Lutch Arnold and Charley Taft, son of ex-President Taft. The Ellis have managed to keep in the running by holding the opposition down to 25 points. IL was this style of game that made 1t possible for Columbia to tie Cornell for the title last year.
 The standing follows:
