Each Finishes Training Confident; Coast Odds Shift to Mexican at 10 to 9.

Los Angeles, Nov. 27. If either Joe j Rivers or Joe Mandot possess nerves, each tried hard to conceal the fact when they wound up their training yesterday afternoon for their return engagement at Vernon on Thanksgiving day. Rivers called quits after he had laid a last Rlove against the rough cheek of Charley Daltan. Mandot coolly Jabbed his sparring partners about and then threw his gloves over the ropes with an air of relief. Rivers' only show of concern when it was all over was to visit the downtown office of the Pacific Athletic club and test out the ,-offlcial" scales. "I never worry, but I get pretty anxious some times." admitted Mandot. "I know I am ready for the Jump through the ropes, and it makes me feel uneasy that I have to wait a whole day with nothing on my hands but time." Rivers grinned when the subject was brought up. "No chance for me to get lonesome or worry with that big

clown tagging at my heels," and he pointed to Abdul the Turk. "That fellow was hired to stand guard over me and he's delivered the goods. I can't shake him for five minutes. I'll give him credit, though," continued the Mexican, "for houndingme into first class condition." As good as 10 to 7 could be had on Mandot today, but this does not represent the pick of the more careful critics. Men who have followed the coast game for years are of the opinion that Rivers, In his present condition, should figure as good as 10 to 9 over the New Orleans man. Advance sales of tickets indicate a record-breaking house. Advance sales have reached $8,000 and it is probable that the receipts from the fight will amount to nearly $40,000.

Nelson H. Xorgren, right half back of the University of Chicago football team, will lead the Midway eleven next season. He was unanimously chosen captain of the 1913 aggregation at a meeting of the Maroon players yesterday at Bartlett gymnasium. Twenty "t"s" were awarded.

Coach Stagg merely suy:g'sted the twenty names to the .Maroon board of control, which is expected to rtify the appointments at its next meeting.

the first legitimate middleweight championship contest in this vicinity since the days of "Bob" Kitzsimmons. Both McGoorty and Gibbons realize

that the approaching counter will have an

ing on their future. Georges Carpentier. former champion middleweight of France, is coming here shortly and will doubtless be matched to meet the winner. Furthermore, McGoorty has already been offered dates to finht in England and Australia, but it is rumored that a setback at the hands of Gibbons would in all probability result in the substitution of the boxer from St. Paul.

BASKET BALL NEXT WEEK

The next week will see the organization of a number of new basket ball teams in the various cities of the Calumet region, where the popular indoor sport is being taken up with much Interest. At Gary several teams belonging to the Y. M. C. A. are fast rounding into shape and hope to have a squad that will capture the championship of a county league which is being talked of. The steel city will also have other basket ball quintets. The Owl club of Whiting, claimants of the basket ball championship for a number of years, has already started active training and will evidently be amoiiR the top-notchers at the close of the season. Crown Folnt is also re

ported to have a fast alumni team this year. Although Hammond has not put a squad into the field Captain Weimer, veteran basket ball star, is busily engaged securing players and expects to have a fast quintet before the commencement of the season.

in Hammond and then have one open to the cueists of Lake county for championship honors. Would it not prove interesting to those who do not care for bowling, basket ball and other indoor sports? Maybe we might find a Willie Hoppe, Ora Morningstar or Sutton who might cover himself with glory.

A WARM BATTLE IS PROMISED

Football enthusiasts of Lake county will soon see the curtain drop on 1912 football, the last game of the season to be staged at the Fast Chicago baseball park Thanksgiving afternoon, when the fast Clabby A. A. of Hammond will face the crack East Chief go Tigers. Two weeks ago the Tigers captured the first game of the season by a small score of 6 to 0. and in order that they can demonstrate their come-back ability the Clabbys will battle every minute to place themselves on even terms. The outcome Is eagerly awaited by the football admirers of both teams, as the result will result in championship honors of Lake county and the Calumet region. If East Chicago loses to Hammond they will be tied and another game will have to bo played. With both teams primed for the occasion It will be a game that will be long remembered and will go down into the football history of this region.

RITCHIE CONFIDENT OF WHIPPING CHAMP San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 27. Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast, ruling a 2 to 1 favorite over Willie Ritchie in the betting on their twenty-round

bout here on Thanksgiving day, did his last boxing yesterday, and, apparently supdemely confident of the out

come of his fight, conferred with Promoter James Coffroth regarding future matches. Coffroth has promised Wolgast a New Year's flght here If the champion's terms are reasonable. Wolgast has trained in a leisurely way for this fight, and some critics have found fault with his condition. A sparring partner, Willie Hoppe, a local lightweight, knocked Ad down in their boxing on Saturday. Ritchie has worked quietly and has surprised the fight followers by the ease with which he trained down to 133 pounds. While Wolgast's manager, Tom Jones, has offered large sums at 10 to 6, Ritchie and his manager have not been in evidence in the betting ring. Even money is offered on Wolgast to win within eighteen rounds.

KRAFT TO LEAD NORTHWESTERN Walter W. Kraft, who played right end on the Northwestern university football team for two seasons, was elected captain for next year at a meeting held In Patten gymnasium yesterday.

On behalf of Eddie Morgan, the clever English bantamweight, who has won his only two fights here, has been matched to fight Champion Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland for the world's title. Jimmy Johnson, Morgan's manager, yesterdaf accepted the offer of J. W. Coffroth for the boys to fight twenty rounds for a purse of $7,500 at San Francisco on New Y'ear's day.

FAST BOUT AT P HILLY. Philadelphia, Pa.. Nov. 27. The windup at the Spring Garden A. C. last night, between "Battling Jim" Johnson of this city and Tom Overby of Scranton, was exciting at times. Overby seemed scared and took a good beating in the first, second, third and sixth rounds. In the fourth and fifth Jim refused to hit Overby, and only unloosened when the spectators demanded action.

SPORTING BRIEFS. New Orleans, La.. Nov. 27. Frankle Russell of New Orleans won a clean victory in his ten-round battle with

I Steve Ketchel of Chicago last night. Referee Barnes giving him the deci- , sion after a hard-fought but one-sided i contest.

TOURNAMENT

IS suggested!

Hammond has at least a half dozen excellent billiard and pool halls, but never has any one held a successful tournament. Why? is the question that has often been raised by the lovers of this popular pastime and is agai nbrought up In an effort to bring the cueists of Lake county together. In Gary billiard and pool tournaments are held with much enthusiasm. Prizes are given to tile winners, arid as a result much talent has been found among the cueists of the steel city. Again why not start city tournaments
