JOE RIVERS IS GOING BACK

Mexican Fighter Has Shown Startling Reversal ofcForm and Apparently Has Shot His Bolt. Joe Rivers, the Mexican fighter, appears to have shot his bolt. Joe was once looked upon as among the best men in the lightweight division and

displayed caliber of the championship brand. The past year, though, he has been slipping back and lias been beaten in most of the battles in which he has engaged lately. Joe is but twentytwo years of age and should be at his best now Instead of sliding into the discard. The Mexican will make a brave attempt to win back his former laurels, but it is very doubtful if he will succeed.

Joe Rivers, Mexican Fighter.
