JOE RIVERS Is ALIVE;
TnERE ARE TWO YBARRAS

Like Mark Twain. Joe Rivers will
have the satisfaction OF having read
his own obituary. The report was re-
Gently circulated in this city that the
one time contender for the light
weight championship had gone down
with the Tuscania. The casualty list
issued last Saturday included q certain
Private Jose YbaTra. from Laredo.
Tex. and just because Rivers real
name was Ybarra II was taken for
granted that the lightweight had
found n watery grave. However, pc
rusal OF recent issue Of the Boxing
and Sporting Gazette brings to light
this paragraph:
SAN DIEGO, March 23.--Joe Riv-
crs, former contender for the light
weight championship. lost q decision
In four rounds here tonight to Chief
Abernathy, an Indian soldier in the
Twenty-first infantry"
Since the Tuscania was torpedoed
some wcCks before Rivers fought in
san Diego. we think It safe tn sav
that the Nbarra who went down was
not the Ybarra who is Joe Rivers the
boxer.

BENEFICIAL SPORT
OF ALL IN VOGUE

Rowing develops a better class Of
athletes than any other sport ae-.
eording to Prof. Charles v. p. Young,
head Of the physical department at
Cornell University, which has turned
out some pretty fair oarsmer. ana
he has the figures to prove his eon-
tentions.
Records OF the university's physi-
cal culture department do not show.
that any of the oarsmen who have
rowed in Courtney's crews have ever
suffered from heart failure brought
on by rowing.
THE danger from rowing. as from
most strenuous sports. comes from
improper preparation and too sud,

my observation OF its effects upon
Cornell osrsmen should say that
they are the best type OF
man turned out. and the statistics
which are available should they be
desired. eorroborate this statement
These statistics will also prove that
the oarsmen have the promise OF
