Rivers and Chip Arrive to Prepare for
Milwaukee Fights.


Chicago is the temporary head
quarters for a pair of crack boxers,
both being here to prepare for Mil
waukee fights. They are George
Chip, the Scranton middleweight, and
Joe Rivers, the California light
weight.
Chip arrived today and imme-
mediately went to work in prepara-
ton for his go with Gus Christie in
the Cream City Monday night. The
Gritty Creek is in good condition
now, as he is practically always in
training, and his work of the next
two days will be light.
Rivers, who fights Ad Wolgast in
Milwaukee Jan. %, arrived here last
night and went to Milwaukee today
to lamp the arena where he will tan
gle with the former champion. Joe
will take things easy until Monday,
when he will begin steady grind at
one of the local gymnasiums.
He has never exhibited in these
parts before and will be a big attrac-
ton.
IF Rivers is willing he will be
matched with Charlie White after he
finishes with Wolgast The Chicago
boy is eager for the battle, and,
though terms have not been definite
" agreed on, it is believed PROPOSE
ton can be made to Rivers that will
prove attractive enough to land him
for the second set-to.
