Mexican Is Down to 134 For His Clash With Master of Ten Round Game
New Tork, Jan. 7. Joe Rivers, the latest addition to our pugilistic ranks, spent a busy afternoon at his training: quarters between training: and greeting: a host of newly-made friends who took advantage of the holiday to see the Mexican In action. Rivers went through the daily stunt of rope jumping, punching bag and when everything was cleared off the decks started in a four round melee with Packey Hommey. Packey Is not one of our greatest battlers as far as science goes. He Is there with the wallop and delights in getting slammed. For twelve minutes the pair of lightweights buffeted one another around with neither overlooking an opportunity to slam. The visitor showed up to great advantage. He worked faster than ever, showing that miserable weather did not bother him so that you would notice it. His wallops were straight and plenty and most of them hit the mark.
Rivers convinced the fans that he will give Leach Cross a strenuous time
and there Is no doubt he wil lenter the ring a hot favorite. He is now down to 134 pounds and says he could get down to the required poundage, 133,
any time he desires.
Joe has developed a slight fondness for Broadway and hates to leave the
bright lights In his wake. His train
ing: quarters form a strong: contrast to
the white way. Woodlawn Inn, where he is quartered, Is only a few steps away from the entrance to Woodlawn cemetery. Rivers la not stuck on the close proximity of dead ones. A more lonesome or desolate place after sundown could not be found. Cross started In work today at Lake wood, where he gets in shape for all important battles. Leach is a master at the ten-round game and figures his knowledge of the short bout will prove of Inestimable advantage.

In the United States McCarty. Palzer

Willard was the latest to announce his plan to fight Bombardier on. British soil and within a few weeks he will leave for England with his manager,
Charlie Cutler, In an attempt to beat
falser and McCarty to the punch.
If Wells was an American and pos
sessed of his same ability as a ring
j ster, a battle with him would not be I greatly sought. But being a subject of the king lends an International as
pect to things and permits any enter- . prising manager with a battler who can whip the Bombardier to annex the
championship of the world. Wells removes the sting on the world part. Cutler will be enabled to meet some of the best European wrestlers abrosu and the two plan to : make the tour something like the Jeffrles-Ootch cruise, which was quite successful from a box office standpoint. Willard will be forced to win by a big margin to get the decision before a London sporting club. But everything is with him. The referee at the National Sporting club remains outside the ring and clean breaks only are permitted. The battle, if before this club, might draw from $5,000 to $7,500. Eddie Santry, matchmaker of the Summit A. C. at Fort Wayne, Ind., has offered Willard a fight with Jack Leon,
CLABBY RE-ENTERS RING
TONIGHT AT FOND DU LAC
BY SPIKE. Tonight Jimmy Clabby, idol of Hammond and Milwaukee fight fans, will mix It with Ray Parker of Chicago In a ten-round no-declslon go at Fond du Lac, Wis. The outcome of their fistic encounter Is eagerly waited for, as his wide following of admirers are awaA-e tnat the battle Is only a feeler for James, who is preparing for his tilt with Eddie McGoorty the latter part of this month. . Many of Jimmy's friends are on the anxious seat though, as it has been noised around that Parker Is a clever youngster and Is liable to spring a surprise at Jack Brunkhorsfs arena tonight. But Jimmy has hung out the "we should worry sign" and word comes from his training camp that he Is In the best possible shape and not
to be .surprised if the pin feathers fly
as James Is going to mix it from start to finish. A number of Hammond fans left today to be at the ringside to
night.
. Whether Clabby trounces Parker or not, Eddie McGoorty will be his next opponent, the Buffalo, N. Y., promoters being the lucky bidders for the ten-
round tilt. McGoorty Is the only teal
contender for the welterweight cham
pionshlp. having defeated Mike Gibbons, who has also attempted to step
into the middleweight ranks. For the past year Clabby has been endeavoring to get a match with McGoorty. but every time his manager, Frank Mulkern, popped the question McGoorty took the short cut to the woods. Following the McGoorty fight Clabby will take on Mike Gibbons, this being the fourth time they have met.
Billy Shanks or any other good heavyweight who can be obtained for Jan. 2S, 24 or 25. Willard will give his answer today.

I want to wager $1,000 on the side that I beat him."

Roger Bresnahan is now a Cub. This was announced officially yesterday afternoon by President Murphy and Manager Kvers of the west side club." Evers arrived In the morning, and after completing plans for the spring training trip of the Cubs he and President Murphy called up St. Louis and had Roger Bresnahan paged. The former manager of the Cardinals soon responded and announced that he had come to a settlement with the St. Louis club, had the money In the bank, and was ready to accept the terms recently offered him by the Chicago club. What these terms were was not given out for publication, . but President Murphy wished It said that he had outbid Barney Dreyfuss, the Pittsburg owner, who paid - $22,500 for Marty O'Toole, the largest sum ever paid for a ball player. - That doesn't mean that Murphy paid more than that to get Roger. It means that he offered Roger more money than did Dreyfuss, and also more than Herrmann of Cincinnati. 1 It was only another case of money talking.

P. L. TO JET FARRELL TODAY Chance Due Here for Conference With Owner of Yankees.
Chance Is due to reach Chicago from California at 11:40 a. m., and Frank Farrell, owner of the New York club, is due at noon. It Is probable they will get together early In the afternoon, and many believe the papers will be signed within an hour after the two meet. A number of Chance's friends, headed by Charley Williams,' secretary . of the Cubs, are going out to Jollet to meet the California train and escort the P. I into town. Still others are planning to be at the Polk street station to welcome the former west side leader. According to reports Chance will be offered the biggest salary ever paid a baseball manager. Although Owner Farrell never has made public the amount he will offer. It Is understood it is to be $18,000 per year with 5 per cent of the net profits added. The biggest salary ever paid Chance by the Chicago club In the seven years he was manager was $10,000, and that was only for the last three years. Chance won four pennants and two world's championships In seven years on the west side, and then was released last fall by President Murphy.
Before sundown tonight Frank Chance, Peerless Leader, formerly with the Cubs, is likely, to be signed to a contract to manage the New York American league team for the next five yars. - '

IS FOR DEB ONLY Organization Formed as Old Elm Club Has Site on North Shore.
If you contemplate building or establishing a dairy farm along the north' shore, you had better hurry up or the golf clubs will get you. Links in that section are getting almost as common as burglaries in the city. Following
the formation of the Winnetka Country club comes the announcement of the formation of the Old Elm club, whose grounds Will be located 400 yards east of the railroad station and Chicago electric station on the Green Bay road at Fort Sheridan. The new organization Is something of a novelty In that It is to be a golf club for men only. Women players and Juniors may be Invited for special occasions, but essentially the club will be a place where the sustaining golfers
can enjoy themselves and be sure of getting a game at all times without much waiting. The club is In no sense a competitor "of any other organization, and while the majority of the 150 members will have other affiliations, these. It Is expected, will be continued. Many of the members 'will ute their other courses for daily play, but during busy periods they will be able to play at Old Elm. ' - The club has purchased 140 acres located on the famous ridge sloping to the west, and 80 per cent of the land overlooks the Skokle valley. Only a little of the Skokie marsh- is on the property and this will be used, for a i V. f nratA. liAla .nil 14
