JOE RIVERS' LUCKY
STAR STILL RISING
Rematched With Wolgast for

Joe Rivers, the Mexican athlete not
of the variety mentioned In vaudeville
is an extremely lucky youngster.
When It was definitely announced that
he had been picked to meet Ad Wolgast
In a lightweight championship fracas
st Ixjs Angeles July 4 It was every
where conceded that Joey carried a
horseshoe to break Into the UJ-pound
dtvlMon against a champion. But now
comes the news that the men are prac
tically re-matched for another ;o-round
set-to on labor Day In the same arena.
Which means, without qualification,
that Rivers is an extremely lucky
youngster. But. when viewed from a
certain angle, the double match can
not be considered a boon to the box
ing public. To match the men for
J-abor Pay. necessitating a stiff guar
antee to the champion, means that the
Independence day affair will be an In
decisive one. No matter what the mer
its of the two men. the Labor day
lodestone will prevent accidents July 4.
MeTarey fr Clean BssJag.
It Is hard to figure how Promoter
Tom McCarey can foster clean boxing
in I.O Angeles and at the same time
practically fix a championship bout.
Vet the latter Is what he has accom
plished. If Wolgast Is himself again
and finds he Is the master of Rivers
and capable of delivering the quieting
glove at any time, the thoughts of the
labor day purse may minimise his
speed, strength ami punching power.
If Rivers finds he Is opposed to a man
who cannot "come back." he still haa
the Labor day bout, wtth another re
turn match following the entry of a
new champion Into the arena, and he,
too. will Join the stalling club.
Outside of Los Angelec. where Rivers
in popular, there Is little or no thought
of the unhorsing of the champion July
4. the majority of fans and critics
throughout the country figuring that
Wolgast doea not need to be the man
of a year ago to retain his title against
the Mexican.

of his financial Inclination Is likely

aklll and experience than the average
man has the time or patience to ac
quire. WHY THB Ol.ls-ST I.K HUSK IS
HARD TO I SK.
Tou must keep constantly testing the
edge. If you stop honing too soon, the
edge is not yet iharp. But If you give
even one or two strokes too many, the
delicate, thin edge commences to curl
over and form a Wlr-edge: the re
verse stroke only curls It back the other
way. and then the more you hone the
worse It gets.
WHY THB PCRFORATKn HOK IS
SO EAS1 TO I SI.
As the razor-edge gets thin and
sharp, a Wire-edge commences to form
as before. But see what happens: As
the razor Is drawn slantingly forward
across the regular rows of holes, their
deftly-rounded edges have sort of
undercut effect, shearing the Wire-edge
smoothly oft as fast as It forms, and
dropping It as fine steel dust into the
holes. The whole procrss Is automatic.
As fast as the Wire-edge forms. It Is
cleaned off by the perforations. Give
six strokes or a hundred you simply
can't hurt your raxor If you keep It
flat on the hone. In connection with
the patented Perforated Invention, a
specially hard but very fine stone Is
used, which leaves a smooth, keen-cutting
edge that Is a revelation even to
a barber.
STROPPI.NG IMF. NOT SHAItPK.X A
RAZOR.
It merely smoothes the edge, but
tends In time to round and dull It.
To really Sharpen a raxor, you must
bring ba-k the cutting edge to Its
original thin, wedge shape, like the
flale the bank account. Rivers might.
In the stress of the awakening, throw
discretion to the winds and clinch a
crown In his grasp, but the veteran
Adolphus Is not likely to forget him
self. So. If McCarey Is quoted correctly In
scheduling a Labor day bout between
the two, he Is guilty of clubbing an
already badly abused sport.
Joe Jeanette styles Jack Johnson the
"moving-picture champion" In a series
of lively and entertaining remarks
hurled at the champion. Joe declares
Johnson Is afraid to meet either Lang
ford or Jeanette. knowing he will lose
his crown won so easily at Reno If he
steps Into the ring with either one of
the dusky fellows.
The following Is a paragraph from
the verbal flaying:
Wn Fsalva. He Sara.
"I have whipped him decisively sev
eral times In Philadelphia, and he de
liberately quit me In one contest over
there. I say "quit." because when I had
him bad he maliciously fouled me In
order to save himself from defeat. He
has been offered 110.000 to box me six
rounds In Philadelphia, and 120.000 to
fight me ten rounds In New York, but
both these offers be has Ignored. He
knows better than anyone else that he
Is a fourflusher. and that his ability
has been overestimated by the news
papermen, and now that he haa a
chance to laud over his betters, he in
tends to hold his title as a club over
the heads of promoters and fighters
he knows can whip him. If he will get
up enough courage to box me 30 rounds
I will bet 500 I will stop him. I will
not say 'knock him out.' for I know he
has not enough courage to stand up and
fight and be knocked out."
Joe has departed for Europe, but says
ha will return to meet Johnson at a
moment's notice.
Joae Gets American Name.
Joe Rivers' real name Is Jose Ya-barra-
They tell the following story of
how he received his fighting alias:
The first time Rivers fought at Naud
Junction. Charlie McIIugh, the secre
tary of the Pacific Athletic Club, asked
Joe his. name. Joe said: "Jose Ya
barra." . "Holy Moses." said Charley. "I would
forget that before I could announce It.
Yon had better take another name.
Where do you liver"
"I live down by the river." said Joe.
"Well." Charlie said. "I will Intro
duce you as Joe Rivers." It went, and
he tacked it onto himself as his fight
ing name. They say Joe would never
agree to fight under any other name.
As a result of his -recent work In
the middleweight elimination series,
Howard Morrow. Tommy Burns' pro
tege, la rated as one of the best 158
pounders In the game, and many figure
he will wear the crown within a year.

Did you ever see a barber using a
Safety Razor? He uses the old. reliable
hollow-ground razor, a good strop, and
above all. the very finest Razor Hone
that money can buy.
Most safety razors arc wrong In
principle, because practically all of
them operate like a hoe. Instead of
cutting cleanly with the proper sliding
stroke. Pld you ever try to shave with
one of them when you had let your
beard get a little longer than usual?
It Is a painful experience.
Then there Is the continual expense
of new blades a perpetual tax. Worst
of all. they are never really sharp after
the first shave or two, because, as al
ready explained, both stropping and
honing are required to enable any blade
to retain a perfectly sharp edgo.

EVEN" BARBERS I SB THE PERFOR
ATED HONE.
If there is any one class of men that
could get along with the old-style hone,
and keep their razors In proper con
dition with It, surely It woulc be the
barbers. But they know from experi
ence the. supreme importance of a good
hone, and they always use the very
best they can buy. even If it costs them
125.00. So we find that the barbers
are always among the very first to
adopt the Perforated Hone wherever
it Is introduced. Here in Portland it Is
already regularly used In many barber
shops, saving time and trouble, and
producing a keener edge.
If the expert barber, after learning
how to use the difficult, old-style
hone, throws it out and adopts the
Perforated Hone, surely the average
man. without his special skill, needs It
much more. You simoly cannot afford
to do without one any longer.
WHAT VSERS SAYl
Mr Geo. M. Taylor, manager of H. W.
Petrl'e (B. C.) Ltd., writes that he Is
now enjoying Tne Only genuine Shav

In his opinion, has all the hosts of
safety razors and stropping machines
hopelessly outclassed.
Mr. H. J. McLatohey. manager of
"The Multlgraph People." Vancouver,
says: "The Perforated Hone is giving
great satisfaction. I con shave myself
now la three minutes better than any
barber ever did. It is the only real
solution of the shaving problem. No
man will be without ona when he learns
what It will do."
Mr. D. Weir. North Bend, B. C, writes
that he is Hard to Shave, but that the
Perforated Hone really does Make
Shaving Easy for him.
Mr. A. H. Young, of the San Fran
cisco "Call." wrote: "I thought I knew

What appealed to me most in the

was the concentrated excitement it is
possible to get. One does not have

And so we could go on. but they all
say about the same thing In a little
different way.
HOW TO HO.XB A RAZOR.
A razor must always be.hcned edge
foremost, the opposite of rtropping.
Lay the hone flat on the palm of the
hand; then taking the razor between
the thumb and first finger of the
other hand, lay it perfectly flat on
the hone, and draw it edge foremost
clear across the holes, in a slanting
direction from heel to point, as shown
w I .
I
In Cut 1. Without lifting tne razor
from the hone, roll it over carefully
onto its other side, and draw it back
again over the holes, as In Cut 2. Re
peat these strokes, using a little water
If the razor Is very duil or hard, until
the edge is keen enough to "stick" or.
"cling" when drawn lightly over the
wetted finger-nail. Then strop it thor
oughly ready for shaving.
HINTS OX SHAVlSG. .
Before shaving, wash your face in
warm water to remove all particles of
grit from the pores of the skin. Then
dry your face, and also your hands,
for wet hands cannot handle a razor.
Make a good, creamy lather, using

Of course, there are quite a number
of details which I have not yet grasped
after seeing only one game, but pro
vided sufficient candidates for the
cemetery or the crematorium are forth
coming in the near future in those who
spell their names with any semblance
to mine. It won't be long before I can
handle my score card with the best
of them.
Just where does it have cricket
skinned? Well! Here's one thing.
Three men out and the whole side's
a stiff 'un. What's more, a man can
not remain in two or three hours at a
time. He has only got a few balls
coming to him and then he is either
on one of the bases or back in the
pavilion or whatever you call the pill
box where they wait their turn. Then
the other side has a shot to see what
it can do. .
But. all said and done, it was the
greater excitement that appealed to me
and than fact that the game does not
last so long that one has become tired
of watching ; or gone to sleep on the
bleachers.
some good standard shaving soap or
cream. The Shaving Cream in tubes is
the best, as an exposed cake collects
dust and grit. Don't let the lather get
dry on the face; lather your face well,
and rub well in with the finger-tips
to soften the beard.
In shaving, be sure to hold the razor
almost flat to the lace and you need
never be afraid of cutting yourself. It
will cut much easier if you shave witli
a sliding or diagonal stroke.
After shaving, a little Cold Cream
or Witch Hazel rubbed well in will
prevent chapping, and keep the skin
soft and smooth.
Follow these points and your morn
ing shave will be no more trouble to
you than combing you' hair.
HOW TO BUY A RAZOR. .
A good quality razor is necessary
for best results. There are many cheap,
"tinny" razors on the market which
would be dear at thirty cents. A good
quality razor cannot usually be bought
for less than $1.50 to $,2.00. A safe rule
Is to buy only from a reliable dealer,
and to pick out a razor stamped with
the name of some well-known maker.
Ask for a Medium Steel. Hard steel
is so brittle that it- chips or crumbles
away, and will not take a fine edge.
Soft steel, on the other hand, will not
stand up firm enough to cut the stiff,
hard bristles when shaving.
After honing your razor on a Per
forated Hone, give It a thorough strop-

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. April 27.
(Special.) There has been quite an ado
the last few days in San Francisco be
cause of the suspensions imposed by
President Baum on ballplayers who
have been getting into arguments with
umpires.
Both Bud Pharpe, now In Portland,
and Happy Hogan have been howling
that their clubs are being broken up,
and one of the San Francisco papers
came out flatfootedly the other day
with an assertion that it was done to
knock over Oakland and Vernon, lead
ers in the race, so that the contests
would be more exciting.
Such a statement Is absurd and out
of all Justice to the head of the league
and his umpires. What Baum wants to
do Is to stamp out rowdyism and back
talk from the start, and he Is going to
do It, even if teams are temporarily
weakened. Sooner or later the play
ers will .awake to the fact that they
are hired" to play ball, and not to wran

"Some of the fans may have a wrong
impression," said the league leader the
other day, "about the suspension of
players. It is not entirely because of
language they may have used, but to a .
large extent a discipline against de
laying the game. The spectators want
to see baseball and not wrangling, and
that sort of thing must be stopped. I
dielike to weaken any of the clubs, but
I am not going to play fa-orltes."
Sharpe criticized Umpire Mertes
rather severely in Portland, but the
Oakland manager forgets that Mc
Greevy and Hildebrand. two of the vet
erans, have thrown him out of the
game, as well as Mertes,
Generally speaking, the public is
with Baum in his crusade, and he is
deserving of support.
If that sort of thing is to be stopped
entirely, now is the time to do It.

Jess Baker, who has been counted

last Wednesday, when he played three
innings at short. He handled his three

He Is simply careless of his welfare, so

Hap Hogan has some crazy idea to
spring on an unsuspecting public. Last
year, you remember, he had those

neck sweaters of black, with wide
orange stripes on both sides, to give
the suggestion of the name Vernon

AH this week he has engaged a rubber-neck
automobile wagon to carry his
ballplayers to and from the grounds,
the men dressing at their hotel. I don't
suppose that he intends to keep it up.
however, as the novelty of the advertis
ing stunt will wear off.
Hngan'a Team Looks Good.
Hogan looks to have a good team
this year, although with Patterson and
Burrell suspended and out of the game,
he has not been able to show his full
strength so far. His pitching staff
looks to have been Improved, and he
has unquestionably a team that is com
posed to a large extent of heavy hit
ters. That sort of thing, as tho aver
age baseball fan is well aware, ought
to keep him up in the race.
