Milwaukeean Has Excellent
Record in Bouts With
Able Boxers.
BY CHARLES F. MATHIsON.

The bout between Willie Jackson and
PinEey Mitchell. which is set for de-
cision at Madison Square Garden to-
night, should prove interesting from all
points of view. Jackson. one of the
hardest hitters in the lightweight di-
vision, can always be depended on to
inject excitement into any match in
which he is a contestant, and there is
insure count of ten over the lanky
Mitchell,
The Milwaukee boxers record is not
obscure and it entities him to the respect
of all opponents irrespective of their
achievements. A man who can hold the
peerless Jack Britton to practically a
draw must necessarily possess class.
Mitchell has also met other able light
weights and welters and has acquitted
himself in a creditable manner.
In view of these facts, the patrons of
boxing In this city will be anxious to
see the tall Wisconsin battler tested by
one of the most combatlve boxers and
hardest hitters In the East.
If Mitchell can withstand the Jackson
attack and make a good showing against
the leading contender for the lightweight
title, the Western boys future is as
sured
Owing to his peculiar physical con-
struction. which is on the order of the
string bean, Mitchell claims to be able
to make as low as 130 pounds despite
the fact that his match with Britton was
at 140 pounds. The contest between
Mitchell and Jackson Is to be at the
lightweight limit of 135 pounds eight
hours before ringtime, and both men
should be able to make the notch with
out special effort.
Viewed from any angle the match
promises to interest the onlookers from
start to finish Pinky Mitchell's brother,
Richie. will meet Benny Leonard in a
