by his manager, Bob Laga, will ar
rive in Rock Island Saturday morn
ing to begin his training in this
city for his 10-round battle with

some technicality he was barred
from boxing in Wisconsin by the
boxing commission of that state.
A letter from Laga. received this
morning by Peanuts Schieberl,
promoter of next Thursdays show,
states that Rivers will probably be
matched for several bouts of con-
siderable prominence in fistic cir
cles following his mill here with
Nelson. According to Bob, Mike
Collins, St. Paul promoter, and
manager of Johnny Ertle. was in
Chicago d few days ago to look over
the Mexican. Before taking his de-
parture Mike assured Laga that he
would use Joe in a st. Paul ring on
certain date within three weeks.
Tom Andrews of Milwaukee,
critic and fight promoter, has also
visited Rivers training quarters.
So impressed is Tom regarding the
Mexican's condition that he open
ed negotiations with Laga for a
match with Richie Mitchell be-
fore his Cream City club. Andrews
declared he would use every effort
TO reverse the commission ruling
concerning the Mexican battler.

America in the 1920 Olympic games
at Antwerp, Belgium.
In past Olympic games the c. A.
A has contributed it's share of point
winners and the cl1b has donated
its quota of expense money. This
time it will be different. The ath-
letes whom Delaney selects will
rake the trip at the expense of the

formances, which will warrant Sc

hurdler, and jumper, and can COM

success. Frank Loomis is national

should be better outdoors this year
than last. Eddie Fall is one of the
best one and two mile runners in
the country. Frank Foss and Carl

Arlie Mucks, former University
OF Wisconsin athlete. who is farm

team. Mucks did not compete in
the national championships last
year, but has been keeping in shape
by tossing the weights on his farm.
There are numerous Cherry Cir

them are expected back during the
summer and only a few expect to

At the Fifth Avenue.

Mrs. Irene Castle, appearing as
star in THE Hillcrest Mystery" at
the Fifth Avenue theatre today,
says:
When 1 was child in New Ro-
cbelle, n. Y, l used to play with
the boys most OF the time. l can
not remember the time when l
couldn't ride and swim, chiefly,
suppose, because my boy playmates
did those things and l liked to do
them, too. l learned to dive by be-
ing thrown into the water by the
boys. | suppose that's where all
the fear was knocked out OF me
The only thing that I'm afraid of
is fret"
Her early training in those rongh
sports has helped Mrs Castle amaz-
ingly in her motion picture work.
Her directors do not have to urge
her to do the various stunts which
imperil life and limb and which fig
ure so frequently in the pictures
in which she stars. Will Rogers,
the celebrated comedian, in one of
those laughable monologues of his,
recognized this daring one night
when he saw the late Vernon Castle
in the audience. Said he: I'VE used
to be worried about you, Vernon,
out there at the front, but when we
saw Irene in 'Patria,' we decided
that she was in still greater danger.
II she does another serial, she's
got you beaten!"
