Both Rivers and his manager were in
New York City when war was de-

bATTLER COMES
FOR DE[MONT CO

Joe Rivers, the sensational Los An
geles lightweight, and his manager,
Bob Laga, arrived in Phoenix yester-
day to put the finishing touches to the
formers training for his coming bout
with the A. E. F. champion, Gene Del
mont, which is to take place at the
Alhambra arena Thursday night.
This bout is one of the best
matches ever staged in the Alhambra
arena. The demand for seats has been
exceptionally heavy.
Rivers and his manager arrived
from Seattle, Washington, where Riv-
ers met Alec Trambitus in 10 rounds
and Harry Casey in six rounds, also
boxing four rounds for the benefit of
the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks, all within two weeks.
Rivers has enjoyed a wonderful
career in the squared circle. He has

match between this pair will testify.
In addition to this, the Monroe Nc

In Opening Events

Chef Neff of Seattle retained his
title of lightweight champion of the
southwest by getting a draw with Otto
Wallace of Milwaukee, former holder
of the title, in 10 of the fastest and
most furious rounds ever contested in
this community. The bout was staged
in the Alhambra arena
While Neff forced the fighting
throughout the 10 rounds and had all
the better Of the mitigating, Wallace
landed the most clean blows at long
range, a wild right hook frequently
finding resting place in Neffs jaw or
in the stomach.
But after all has been said and
done, 1t was Neff who made the fight
He started after the Milwaukee Bear
cat at the gong of the first round
and he never let up in his efforts until
the final gong sounded. He chased
Wallace about the ring and into the
ropes and had the latter holding most
of the time. But there were flashes
when Wallace would let loose and, in
lightning fashion, drive light blows
into Neffs body. Neff refused to be
bothered by these, however, and con-
! tlnued his aggressive tactics.
There were occasions when Wallace
came out from cover and led to Neff,
out the occasions were few. Had he
carried the fighting even Is per cent
OF the time, he might have been en-
titled TO the decision but his tactics of
letting Neff do all the work and fight
only when suitable openings pr scented
themselves made the decision of the
referee a good one.
When said referee lifted the hands
OF both performers in token of a draw
match, Wallace made a vain attempt
10 SHOVE down the hand of Neff. There
ensued a few wild scenes in the ring,
which eliminated when Al Shannon of
tucson, who was in Neffs corner
kicked at the referee as he was leay-
ing the ring. Fortunately, he missed
the official but it was through no fault
of Shannons.
The bout was one of the fastest

BARBARA D. WINS
FIRST MONEY IN
2:10 TROT EVENT

The outstanding feature of yester-
days harness program was the sensa-
tional performance of Barbara D.
who, following her remarkable per-
Torrance of the day before in securing
second place in the 2:I3 trot, came
back strong yesterday, winning first
money in the 2:10 trot. This little bay
mare was driven by W. F. Durfee of
Los Angeles, who has been coming TO
the Arizona state fair for the last
several years.
Durfee declares that Barbara D.
made the last three fourths of the
third heat in 1:341s, and would have
made much better time but for an
unfortunate occurrence in the third
heat. Just after the word had been
given at the start, she caught her boot
in some matter and was almost
thrown. Despite this disadvantage,
she gained on her competitors and
won easily.
Barbara D. is entered in the 2:2o
trot for $500 next Friday, at which
time her owner expects her to secure
the time of 2:06. This little mare has
done sensationally well, in my opin-
ion" said Durfee last night. "She
raced very hard Monday, and the fact
that she showed up in such excellent
form yesterday indicates to my mind
that she will give a good account of
herself in the Friday race"
Broken as Two -Year-Old
! Barbara d. was broken to harness in
two -year-old form. She was trained
80 days in three-year- old form, win
ming two seconds in stakes won by
Edith Carter last year. This year, out
of seven starts, she won five firsts, one
second. and in one racewas unplaced,
on a half-mile track. The fact that
she was not accustomed to this form
of racing accounts, in Durfee's opinion,
that that race was fluke.
Barbara D. was sired by Carlokin,
2:07A, who raced here in 1909. Her
dam was Honey Healey, 2:0sA. Honey
Healey was sired by Zonibro, 2:11,
who was foaled in Phoenix, and who
was kept here until a three-year- old.
when he was taken to California and
afterward became famous over the
country.
Barbara D. is an inbred of McKin-
ney, her sire being by Mckinney and
the sire of her dam by the same horse.
just previous to her coming here.
Barbara D. defeated Columbia T.,
rated as the speediest trotter in Cali
fornia-
Durfee Well Known
| Durfee is probably the best known
owner and driver to local race enthu-
siasts on the tracks today. For many
years he has been coming to Phoenix,
and wherever he goes he is known as
a booster of the Phoenix track and the
Arizona state fair. No less than four
world record horses have been brought
here by him. The list includes Cops
d'Oro. a PAGER with a record of 1:59H ;
Don Pronto, a PAGER with a record of
2:02A; Esperanto, a trotter with a
mark of 2:04A and by the same sire
as Barbara D., and Orc Elmo, who cap
tured the two-year- record of
2:03K. Other famous PAGERS brought
hereby Durfee in past meets were Mss
Rico, 2:03%, and White Sox, 2:03A
and winner of the $4,000 stakes az
the P. P. I. E.
Barbara DIS superb condition today
! is primarily due to the wonderful
handling of J. G. Collins, her trainer.
Collins has been in the employ of DR.
fee for the last 20 years, and picked
out this mare as winner when she
was colt.

 Meeting

w. S Daniel returned Sunday from meeting of the editors from the Eighth Federal Reserve District, held in Saint Louis last Saturday. He re resented The Dermott News. The meeting was in the interest of the New Victory Loan which will begin the latter part of April. Arkansas was well represented, there being something over loo editors from this state.

STOCK LAW NEEDED

The following appeal has been sent out to the citizens of Arkansas by the State Council of Defense, and Is one to which Dermott should give heed. It Is generally conceded that the major ity of the citizens in Dermott want stock law, and the appeal of the Coun- cil of Defense shonld be sufficient in- centive to the City Council to pass one To the Mayors and Citizens of the
 Towns of Arkansas:
 Some weeks ago the Arkansas State Council of Defense called the attention of the people of Arkansas to the start ling fact that last year 22 000 head of live stock lost their lives on the rail road tracks in Arkansas, resulting in a useless waste of6, 900, 000pounds ofmeat, fats and leather And this at time when the whole country was denying itself meat in order to conserve food for our soldiers and allies.
 IHe W ar IS over lHe 1OuHCll of National Defense Is still calling on America to continue to conserve if we are to keep our pledge to ship 20 000, ,00o tons of food to our allies in 1919. For this reason the Arkansas State Coun- cil of Defense is still vigorously con tinuing the campaign to reduce stock losses on railroad tracks.
 Statistics show that D per cent of stock losses on railroad tracks in Ark ansas occur in towns where stock are allowed to run at large. If every town that has no stock law would pass one and enforce it, it would materially help in reducing this enormous and useless waste of food that takes place in our state every year. We most earn
