RVERS-M|TCHELL BATTLE
feature BOUT THIS week

The boxing calender for the current
week contains three bouts that should
sppeal especially to ring followers.
On Monday night at Cincinnati, Joe
Rivers, the swarthy Greaser, will en-
gage Richie Mitchell. lightweight SEN
sation of Wisconsin. in a ten-round
bout. On Tuesday night Ted Lewis
and Willie Ritchie are slated for q re-
turn engagement of ten rounds. and on
Friday night Fred Fulton and Porky
Flynn will step through twenty rounds
OF less at New Orleans.
Cincinnati boxing fans have develop
ed a great liking for Richie Mitchell as
q result of the youngsters mastery
work against Johnny Kilblane not 50
very long ago. Mitchell has fought
and made a fine showing against such
topnotchers as Dundee, WOlgast, AZe-
Nedo and Kilbane, and he is looked
upon as a sure conner. He will have a
hard test with Rivers. as little Joe
showed in his recent match with Dun
dee that he stIll Is a formidable factor
In the lightweight division.
The return bout between Lewis and
Ritchie is expected to furnish many
thrills as their first battle was a hum
mer for ten rounds. Perhaps Lewis
will score enough points to again Sc
cure the newspaper decision. but Mid
dle-Western boxing patrons, now that
they have seen Lewis in action, do not
believe that he is a better fighter than
the California Dutchman. Lewis is a
flsshy boxer and a speed marvel over
the ten-round route. but it is doubtful
IL he can stand the gaff of a long
fight as manfully as Ritchie has proven
that he can. In a twenty-round bout
between Ritchie and Lewis, Milwaukee
and Chicago boxing sharps would go
in hook, line and sinker on the Cali
fornian to cop.
They have sidetrscked the Minnesota
reed, Fred Fulton, In the negotia tions
for a worlds heavyweight champion
ship match, but they can't discourage
the big fellow. Realizing that he can
not combat against the pressure Of
public opinion, Fulton has lnstruced his
manager, Mike Collins, to accept matches
with all the leading heavies mentioned as
prospective opponents OF Jess Willard. the
Idea in Fulton's mind being to eliminate
these men and thereby prove he Is the
logical heavy to stack up against the
title holder. Whether these plans will
successfully materialize is a question
AS a starter to his campaign, Fulton
Is signed to meet Porky Flynn at New
Orleans II he emerges victorious, Full
ton will go to New York, where Il Is
proposed that he meet Jim CofTey in
ten-round bout. A match with Moran will
follow then. providing Coffey is disposed
OF, and II Moran likewise is beaten,
Fulton believes that the public will be
ready TO accept him as a legitimate
challenger.

American Bankers Fail to
Agree on Terms of Lend
ing 100000.
International News .,ervice :

International News nervice:
WASHINTON, Aug. Hope for
a large Chinese loan by American
bankers has been practically aban-
dOned by the state department.
officials today admitted that they are
greatly discouraged over the failure
lending the 100000 balance of a
$4,000. 900 loan already arranged.
The Chinese government has been
informed fatty that the terms of
the $3O,0OO,OO0 loan, which would
have followed the smaller one, was
not sufficiently attractive. on be-
half Of the American bankers, the
state department pointed out that
the collateral offered-Chinese treas
ury notes-is not satisfactory.
In this connection, American
bankers are dissatisfied with the
scheme Of attempting to handle an
other large consignment of foreign
securities. Much of the huge loan
to the allies is still on the hands Of
the bankers and the market is flood
ed with foreign securities.
The planned Chinese loan has
been aided in every possible way by
Acting Sec'y of State Polk and Third
Assist. Sec'y Phillips. who have
been anxious TO put it through TO
strengthen this country's position in
China.
They now are negotiating with
another group of American bankers
to renew the negotiations.
