MITCHELL IMPROVES
Milwaukee Boy Shows Class in
Defeating Joe Rivers.
ENTITLED TO FIGHT WELSH
BY T. S. ANDREWS.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. December 10
When Joe Rivers, the California light
weight. met Richie Mitchell, hope Of
Milwaukee fans. at Cleveland a year
ago there was much argument as to the
winner Of the ten-round contest, the
papers being divided and also many
of the fans. but when they met in the
Milwaukee auditorium last
week there was no chance for dispute
Mitchell fought like a champion and
defeated Rivers without the question
contest, considering the fact that Kiv-
ers came near taking the fun ten count
in the fourth round. and showed that
Joe is still there with his Eeneralship,
for that is all that saved him from
going to dreamland. 1t was pretty
much the case of Charlie White and
Willie Ritchie over again. the Chicago
lad having Ritchie down for the count
of nine and nearly out. but unable to
finish him. Mitchell put Rivers down
with n short right cross to the chin in
the fourth but ii did not quite get the
point or Joe would not have risen.
After the match Mitchell remarked:
inch. ! tried to get the point. but the
least shift made me miss by a frac-
ton. 1t was here that Rivers showed
his good headwork. The Mexican
rushed in close and put both gloved
hands on each side of his jaw, while
his elbows were drawn very close to his
body. forming splendid bar.
Mitchell did not lose his head as some
imagined. but used good judgment in
not taking chance smashing his
hands against Joe's elbows. That is
Why h" did not play for the body.
Richie tried several times to knock
Joe's gloved hands from his jaw and
cross with his right, but the Mexican
was too foxy to he caught that way.
Then came the bell and the minute =
respite saved the boy from the Golden
state. Mitchell had Rivers in a bad
way in the ninth again, but after
knocking him down he could not ge,
over the finishing punch. The Mil
waukee boy showed as much speed as
Freddy Welsh ever did with his left
hand and his footwork was good There
is no reason why Mitchell should no,
get a chance with Welsh over the
twenty-round route for the champion.
