FIGHT FILMS SHOW RIVERS
KNOCKED OUT San Francisco, Cal., July 9. Joe Rivers was knocked out by Ad Wolgast at Vernon July 4, according to officials of the motion picture company whose cameras recorded the sensational lightweight battle; also, the officials say, the films show that Rivers was not fouled and that he was on the canvas twelve seconds. A private exhibition of the pictures was given In Los Angeles. They are unusually clear and are said to show plainly the events that led to the dramatic climax that ended the flght. According to persons who attended the exhibition. Rivers went to the mat from a left and right punch to the midsection, followed by two similar blows, none of which was foul'. Wolgast stumbled over his challenger's foot and fell heavily upon him, his body striking Rivers' upraised knee. Manager Balshofer of the picture company says: "'Scientific mechanical arrangements cannot lie. The machines were taking
JEANETTE MAY
BOX JOHNSON
ftew York, July 9. Joe Jeanette,
the colored heavyweight, signed artl
cles of agreement today with Manager Gibson of the Garden A. C. to box ten rounds with Jack Johnson, the world's title holder. providing, of course.
Johnson is willing. In signing Jean
ette Gibson announced that there was no truth In the report that the Garden A. C. Intended to offer a mirse for
Johnson and Palzer. "In the first place, Johnron would whip Palzer so quickly that the boxing game would be killed," said Gibson, "and In the second place, the state commission would not permit such a match. But the commission, I understand, would not object to a battle between Johnson and Jen.nnette. as both are negroes. New Yorkers do not want to see a negro and a white man box."

PALZAR VISITS' CH
Al Falser will flght Jack Johnson
or any man this afternoon, tonight or
tomorrow If you show him enough money. He fears nothing that walks
on two feet and wears boxing gloves.
He said so yesterday and there was a gleam In his mild blue eye that convinced us It was the truth. We suggested it might be an excellent Idea to wait six or eight months for Johnson. He asrreed with us on the long fight proposition, but said he was ready this minute to battle the colored wizard a ten-round engagement in New York. Here Is his reason: "Nobody can stop me quickly. You know Johnson Is a careful fellow any-
I am positive I can nail him In a short fight. But if I can't he will not stop me and I will learn much which will be of help in a longer quarrel later on." Kid Howard and a few more who were sitting around Nate Lewis' place listening to the conversation of the Iowa giant, decided after a few moments of pondering that the king of the white hopes knew what he was
j talking about. He has beaten all the
good white men except Jim Flynn. He has proved that he can take the other fellow's K. O. wallop, then get up and like an angry bull knock them stiff. That's the best test In the world, as Tommy Walsh says. So he figures It Is about time to try out his powers
way. His record shows that he sel- with the fading champion in a short
dom'has whipped a man inside of ten I while Just to see where he is at and
rounds. Now I know he can't beat i what his prospects are of landing the me In that time. What Is more, ' championship in the future if he fails though it may sound like braggadocio, on the first effort. .

feat of the day before, when three Yankees dashed home In first, second and third places In the final of the 100 meters. I The three American runners broke the world's record for the 800 meters distance and a German runner equaled it. The summary of tne S00 meters: First J. E. Meredith, the Mercersburg. Pa.. Athletic club; 1:51 9-10. i Second Melvin Sheppard, IrishAmerican Athletic club; 1:52. Third Ira N. Davenport, Chicago university; 1:52. Fourth Braun, Germany; 1:52 1-5. The old record for the distance was 1:52 V4. made by Sheppard In London
03 four years ago.
Meredith annexed another world's record by continuing running after crossing the 800-meter mark. He broke the world's record for a half mile, doing the distance in 1:52 "4The final in the running high jump was won by A. W. Richards of Brtghara Young university, who beat the other Olympic record by three-fourths of an inch. Richards' Jump was 6 feet 3.37 Inches. The old mark of 6 feet 3 Inches was made by Porter, an American athlete, at London four years ago. Llsche of Germany was second with 6 feet 3 Vi Inches, which also exceeded the old mark, and George Horrine of Leland Stanford university was third with 6 feet 2 inches. J. E. Sullivan, United States commissioner to the games, united with G. T. Klrby and Bartow S. Weeeks of the American Olympic committee in declaring the 800-meter final to be the greatest ra.ee they ever saw run. The winning of the high jump event by Richards was a sensation. The American is a tall, raw-boned youth from Utah, and bears none of the distinguishing marks of a finished athlete. He wore a straw hat while Jumping, presenting a spectacle which caused many among the specta
tors to laugh.
Sheppard looked like a winner in
the 800-meter final. At the crack of the gun he shot out of the starting line and Meredith at his shoulder. C. S. Edmondson of the Seattle A. C, hit It up around the first turn. Braun of Germany spurted desperately. Shep
pard kept in the lend until next to the
last turn, when Braun again spurted.
But Meredith shot ahead and In the stretch Davenport crowded out Brock of Canada in one of the most terrific spurts ever seen here on a track.
