Richie MITCHELL VOW
A TWO HANDED FIGHTER

Attention Of the boxing world is be-
ing centered on Richie Mitchell, the
Milwaukee lightweight, who has de-
veloped more surprisingly in the last
year than any other boxer in that
class
The reason for the development
lies in the fact that Mitchell has
graduated from the ranks Of the left
handed iabhers nto a two-handed
fighter.
Mitchell has always been given
credit with lightning left. without
much steam and has usually won his
bouts on points by using the left eff
fectively.
Now be whips across his right with
telling effect and in a recent bout
with Joe yelling used Il sturdily
enough to send that husky battler

BREITENSTEIN SHOOTS
AT THE AGE OF 81

Trapshooting is becoming the real
sport Of contrasting ages.
Recently a golf critic discovered the
remarkable fact-to him-that in the
United States golf championship tour
nament the ages OF the entrants ran
from II to 60 years-and right of the
reel make the statement that no other
sport could produce such an age
iefying combination"
His trouble was that he only was
Interested in golf. It would have
paid him to give a few minutes to
trapshooting. He would have found
many little things ia interest him. In
the Grand American tournament in
st. Louis in August there were 6S3 en-
trants and the ages of the contestants
ran from IA to 7S years. The young
est was as young as the youngest in
the golf championship and the Oldest

Years but not in spirit.
And as in the golf championship the
youngster was a real star. Master
William p. Phillips. Jr., is the lad. He
nails from Chicago and is the son OF
William =. Phillips. who won the
Grand American Ave years ago. Young
Phillips was back on the IS yard
mark-which is the best evidence that
he Is an expert. He broke 90 per cent
all week. and in the consolation tour
nament broke 81 and tied for first
place. Tieing for first place in com
petition with 200 trapshooters isn't al
all bad for a lad of IA years. The
senior Phillips was also in the consola-
tion handicap but when he discovered
hat his offspring was hitting the
clays so well he retired and watched
he youngster.
Now we come 10 the real veteran
There were dozens Of men past thu
threesoore mark in the Grand Ameri
can, but the only two past the three
score and ten were Andy Meaders o
Nashville. Tenn. and Capt. J L. Brett
enstein Of Oskaloosa. Ia. The veneI
able captain is IS years young. H
broke better than 50 per cent. through
out the week He isn't the oldes

and Breitenstein at the traps cause

ell Sherman declares the new
nbenom easily IS as good as Frank
iotch, also an IOwan. when that Won

IA public.
Considering the fact that it was
sherman who first recognized the
ability OF Joe Stecher and literally
boosted him into prominence. his
endorsement of the farmsr youth he
calls Earl Caddock carries some
weight.
Caddock, says Sherman, is a farmer
boy from Anita, Iowa. and has been
in the ranks OF the professionals only
a year. His rise. it is stated. has
been just as phenomenal as that
which shot Joe Stecher into the lime
light. and. like Stecher. the Iowa
youth, never has lost a fall in a
match.
Sherman writes he was most i'm
pressed with Caddock's performance
when that youth met and defeated
Mort Henderson, the original mask
ed Marvel" Henderson, in his time.
has met and held his own with some
of the best in the wrestling game,
and for that reason Caddock's back
ers were somewhat reluctant to allow
the youngster TO meet the time-ried
veteran OF the mat game. Their
doubts were dispelled within a very
short time after the bout started,
when Caddock sped behind the east
ern wrestler and pinned his shoulders
10 the mat in just ten minutes. The
second fall was achieved in six min
utes.
The versatility and variety OF holds
with which the young farmer boy
fought his adversary was astounding
sherman writes. mot even Gotch. In
his palmiest days. ever smoihered an
able opponent with such ease as did
Caddock IN flattening Henderson,

Sherman concludes a letter with
the assertion that It is only a CUES

and Stranger Lewis. must meet and
decide who is going 10 take Frank
