RIVERS IS AGAIN M TRAIUJF RITCHIE Refuses to Entertain Demand for Return Bout With Cross.
tha easterner. Waco, Tex., Nov. 29. Lieut. E. D. Johnson, Third Cavalry, V. S. A., from Fort Sam Houston, was badly beaten about the face by students of Baylor university following a football game Thursday between Baylor and Southwestern university. In which ha . had
acted as referee. Charles V. Braun of ! Waco, umpire, received a Bcalp wound ; when he went to Johnson's assistance, t Johnson put three players out of thee I game for slugging.
Los Angeles, Nov. 29. While Joe Klvers and Leach Cross have nothing but kind words for each other after Thursday's grueling battle their managers are at outs. Sam Wallach wants a return go for his brother. While Joe Levy cannot fee matters in this light. "Why should we box you again?" said Levy to Wallach when they met at the. Washington building offices. "We have boxed you three times and Rivers won so decisively here that you can have no complaint. We took Cross on because Joe was out to re-establish himself. To do so he had to beat some topnotcher. We turned the trick and now we are after Ritchie and will keep after him until we get a return match." Wallach argued that Cross' game showing and the fact that he was "stale" from overwork entitled Leach to another chance, but Levy would give him no satisfaction in this regard. , "Leach will rest for three or four weeks," said Wallach. "We have several good offers, but I feel that we can trim the Mexican if Leach is right and I'm going to say in California long enough to press my case." When asked If he would make an offer for a Ritchie-Rivers match here. Promoter McCarey called attention to the fact that the lightweight champion is now matched to meet "Harlem" Tommy Murphy in San Francisco and added that he could make no plans for using Ritchie Vintil this bout has been decided.

wired that the pitcher was released yesterday to the Venice club by the White Sox. White is appearing in his musical sketch at the Avenue theater in Chlcago the last half of this week, and received the news with mingled gladness and regret. It will be tough, he says, to sever friendships which have been knit by eleven years of association, but he is pleased with the opportunity to retire to the minors with so
good a chance to better himself by working for a managerial berth. White is the veteran of the present slab staff, having Joined the White Sox in the spring of 1907, just prior to the close of the baseball war. Only Billy Sullivan antedates him as a member of the south side team. White plans to take his family and household goods to the coast, with a view to making it his permanent home. He Is booked for four weeks on the vaudeville circuit In California, beginning: in the middle of January, and this will fill hs time until the training season arrives. Th two former guardians of the Cubs' keystone sack met yesterday in the Cubs' headquarters and held an ex- , tended conference, open to the public, and the only definite outcome was the ' certainty that the tentative efforts of the New York American league team '. to secure Joe Tinker to play for Frank Chance next year will be unavailing.
Manager Evers of the Cubs made It exceedingly plain that, the Chicago club would not waive claim to Joe so long as he had breath left in his lungs with which to object.

Sadly the porters put him out into the bleak night, and after contemplating the gloomy exterior of the Astor in a reflective manner for some time, the gent chartered a taxicab and went to the Vandeibilt. There the midshipman squadron lays at anchor. The tuneful gent invaded the glittering lobby of the Vsnderbilt and offered three cheers for the Navy, giv
ing them himself. Again the porters sorrowfully removed his person from the premises.
