Both, boys were In excellent condi tion, and both battlod like tigers from the first gong. Rivers was the aggres sor In a majority of the rounds, 'but Cross landed far cleaner and more ef fective blows, and took less punish ment thtin the Mexican. Neither man was knocked down. Rivers started well, outhoxing Cross (luring the first few rounds nnd ap pearing faster. Thoroughly warmod up, liowever, Cross wore down the Mexi can's early lend and with half the bat tle over, had transferred the balance in bis favor. Thereafter he was never headed.

New York, Aug. 12. Oeorgo Engel, manager of Frank Klaus, believes that Georges Carpentier will be tho best heavyweight in the world two years fropi now, but snys his manager, Dos camps, always tries to win battles for hismnn by claiming a foul. ''If Descamps tried to get away iu America with what he does in Europe, he would last about three seconds," said Engel. "He's full of tricks all thettime and the referees have to keep one, eye on him from the beginning of a fight until the end. 'when Klaus fought Carpentier' in Funis, Frank knocked him down in the sixth round. I thought he was going to finish him then and there, but ,1a the next round Georges came out all covered with oil. Frnnk was unable to land a good punch during the entire three minutes. "Finally a Frenchman came around to our corner and told mo that the only way Frank could win was to knock Car pentier out. The next round I sent Klaus in with instructions to wade in and take a chance. He did, In the 18th round he connected with two good punches and I thought Cnrpcnticr was going to be put away. Beforo Frank could land again Descamps ran up to the refi-ree and told him Klaus had fouled his man. As the referee was about to give the fight to Carpentier I got into the ring and, would not let him give a decision until I got one of the big men of the club and told him thnt Carpentier had lost because one of his seconds entered the ring before the referee gave his decision. We got the decision, but if I had not been right on the job we would have lost. "Smith should have defeated Carpen tier in their London bout. If he wants to bent Carpentier, he'd better hurry, for the Frenchman is only a youngster nnd is getting better nil the time. I expect him to win the heavyweight championship within the next two years." Ritchie Dodges White, fan Fmneisen, Aug. 12. Promoter Coffroth had about given up hope to day of securing Willio Ritchie's con sent to a 20-round bout here in Sep tember with Charlie White of Chiengo, and Harlem Tommy Murhy probably will meet White instead.

BARNUM AND BAILEY'S "GREATEST ON EARTH" The Barnum to Bailey "Greatest Show on Earth" is to appear in this city for two performances Thursday, August 27. From now on until the eventful date the hope that springs eternal in Ameri ca's youth will keep the fathers and mothers of this fair city on the tiptoe of expectancy as their dutiful offsprings have gotten them to promise to take them to the circus. Lives there a boy with a soul so dead that the typical American circus does not strike a responsive chord f It's a matter of ex treme doubt. For the first to greet the first ear of the incoming circus and the last to see the huge wagons depart with their beavv loads is thp boy whose love for circus features, novelties and sur prises dates from the time that he plays with tho stuffed animal hides or minia ture duplicates of tne animal kingdom he receives at each recurring Christmas. Barnum & Bailey's date here means a red letter day for the old as woll as the young and they, too, welcome the ex cuse to accompany the children to the Show grounds, as they find just as much fun and amusement as the kiddies who make sure that everything is seen in the big menagerie tent beforo they set tle down in their seats for the circus performance proper. To typify interest this year and to knock sky-high the belief that there's nothing new under the sun, the Barnum & Bailey show is offering a wonderfully new and realistic spectacle entitled, "The Wizard Prince of Arabia," which teems with life, action and color and has 1,250 persons taking part. It's an ingenious exhibition of kaleidoscopic splendor with startling climaxes and thrilling developments so arranged as to make the feature long remembered by all who see it. This mammoth pageant opens one of the biggest shows ever produced under the magic name of Bur mini & Bailey. ATTORNEY GENERAL PASSES ON SCHOOL BOOS QUESTION A legal question that might appear of more than usunl interest to the pa trons of rural school districts was put up to the attorney general's office by Superintendent of Instruction A. J. Churchill. It was asked by a county school district if they had any right or if there were any legal impediments in the way of running a co-operative book store ot the school for the pur chase of books at wholesale and dis posing of them at cost to the pupils. The legal phases of the question have not yet been fully investigated, but Mr. Crawford was of the opinion that there would be no legal objections to any school district purchasing books for the pupils at wholesale prices and selling them to the pupils at cost. It is explained, however, that a large firm of book dealers in Portland has the contract for furnishing the books for the schools of this state. The pub lishers of the books do not sell direct to the retail dealers. If the distribut ing firm in Portland should refuse to sell to school districts direct, the dis tricts would have no recourse but to purchase their supplies from the local retail book stores.
