RICHIE MITCHELL
HAS BECOME A TWO
HANDED FIGHTER

Attention of the boxing world is be-
ing centercd on Richie Mitchell, the
Milwaukee light weight 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 gradual
ed from the ranks of left hand iabbers
into two handed fighter.
Mitchell has always been given cred
It with lightning left, without much
steam and has usually won his bouts
or points by using the left effectively.
Now he whips across his right with
telling effect and in recent bout with
Joe yelling used 1t sturdily enough
to send that husky battler to the floor
c. two occasions in ten rounds.
