. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. July 6. That
Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers would meet
again, probably on Labor Day, ln the
Vernon Arena and attempt one more
to settle the question of superiority in
the lightweight division, was practical
ly decided upon today. 1
Both principals, their managers and
Tom McCarey, manager of the club,
were of one mind on this subject. All
agreed that another meeting was im
perative, all agreed to meet again, all
agreed practically that Labor Day was
the most logical date, and the question
of finances alone separated them.
The selection of a referee was not
mentioned. Another meeting, several
perhaps, will be held before the ar
rangements are placed into articles of
agreement, but the impression was left
that It would be but a matter of a
short time before the final stage had
been reached and that the two great
est lightweights now in the ring would
certainly meet again.
Wolgast maintained that he was not
helped to, his feet by Referee Jaok
Welch while Rivers lay on the floor
being counted out and asserted that
Rlver8 was knocked out and was glad
to quit. v
"He was not game; that lets him out,"
said the champion.
Ad also said that his winnings, count
ing in his 115,000 purse, and the bets
he gathered, totaled close to $40,000.
In accordance with the French minister
of war's settled policy of reviving the mili

been decided to reintroduce the traditional

There are a few points, however.
which can be explained here, and which
seem to cause considerable trouble to a
good many fishermen. Perhaps the
commonest mistake made by so many
casters is ln swinging their rod too
far behind on the back cast. In mak
ing the back cast your object should be
to keep the line as high as possible.
This keeps the cast clear of rocks and
brush, and allows the line to carry
out better on the next forward throw.
Therefore, it is well to remember the
following rule: Tour line will always The advance guard of the automobile

Start wour back cast, raising the rod
with gradually increasing force, and
ending with a decided snap as the line
goes over your shoulders, but allow the
rod to travel only a little beyond the
perpendicular. Give the line plenty of
time, and as soon as it straigntens out,
send It forward with an easy, rolling

Fielder Jones, asked yesterday if he
thought Bill James, the Seattle kid
pitcher, would make good ln the ma
jors with the Boston Nationals, replied
quickly: - .
"Yes, I think he has the makings of
a star. He possesses a good spltbali.
But James' arms' are, too short for a
big fellow. Walter Johnson has it on
him by three inches."
- Fielder says Portland lost the best
run getter in the league when Men so r
was sold to Pittsburg for $3000. And
good run getters, be It remarked, win
pennants.
