NAY FIGHT TONIGHT

Threatening clouds lowered ovel
Ebbets field in Brooklyn, scene OF
the conflict, throughout the day bu'
promoters had declared that only
a cloudburst could prevent the hos
tilities. After long hours of appre-
hension the "cloudburst" came JUS
under the shadows of evening. lr
half an hour the seats around the
ring were awash. A few hundred
intrepid fans had moved into the
arena before the downpour came,
rushing for the low priced seats.
They were notified that their ticket
stubs would be honored tomorrow
night In case of another postpone
ment, the fight will take place Sat-
urday night.
Berlenbach, the champion, weigh
ed 174 1-2 at the official test three
hours before the postponement. His
manager announced that some hard
work had been necessary to bring
him to the scales under the 175-
pound limit. But the champion S
worries in this regard are over for
a time at least, as the state athletic
commission rules allow postponement
of "a hours without further weigh
ing.
Delaney, the challenger, tipped the
beam at 166 IL, six pounds under
what had been predicted. In his
last meeting with Berlenbach, he
scaled 169. Observers believe that
the postponement will be of special
benefit to- the champion, who ap-
peared somewhat drawn by his last
minute efforts to come in under the
limit. He actually has outgrown
the light heavyweight class and
after the Delaney battle, according to
friends will take his fling at catch
weights, with Jack Dempsey, Harry
Wills and Gene Tunney in view. The
rest undoubtedly also will help De-
laney, who has trained steadily and
reports himself in the greatest con-
dition he ever has known. But the
weight difference very likely will
bring the betting hitherto favoring
the challenger, down to even money.
The delay inconvenienced thousands
of out of town fans who rushed
into the city on late trains.

MITCHELL Will
MEET WHITE IN
JUAREZ SUNDAY

Ell PASO, July 15.-Pinkie Mitchell
of Milwaukee, and Tommy White, of
San Antonio, will fight IL rounds in
Juarez Coliseum, Sunday, and the win
ner of the battle will make his next
appearance in Madison Square Gar
den.
Should Mitchell, who now holds
the Junior welterweight title of the
world, be successful in withstanding
the attack of the San Antonio boy,
he will battle Pete Latzo for the
welterweight championship of the
world Chicago, New York and Mil
waukee are bidding for the match,
but Billy Mitchell indicated before
leaving Milwaukee for Ell Paso that
the Madison Square Garden offer
has the inside track. Pinkie now
weighs lat pounds and is confident
that he can beat Latzo anytime that
he gets him into the ring.
A White victory, however, will
throw the Texan into Madison Square
Carbon on August IL. Jack Zivic
is the next opponent picked out for
White in the event that he beats
Mitchell and the fight will be stag
ed as the semi-final to the Tiger
Flower-Harry Greb fight.
In spite of Nitchells advantages
of height and reach, many Ell Paso
fans are picking White to win the
contest as he has made a vivid inn
preston during his two appearances
here. Early last spring he Knocked
out Young Gonzales, considered the
most likely fighter in the Ell Paso
district and unbeaten until he met
White. This match was followed by
the White-Clyde Hull match for the
championship of the southwest. White
won decisively in the opinion of
sport writer's and spectators, beating
Hull in 9 of the IL rounds, and
furnishing him badly about the body.
The fight was called draw but
since that time the San Antinio boy
has been recognized as the uncroWn-
ed champion of this district.
During the last two weeks White
has beaten Speedy Spuarks, a mid
dleweight, and knocked out Young
CLANCY in two rounds at New Or
leans His forte is punching,
and Mitchell is said to be particular
ly susceptible to this form of at
tack.

MISSIONARY TELLS OF CAPTURE

Grim pictures Of the fortunes of war
among Chinese bandits are drawn in
9 letter received from Rev. Otto
RauSchenbach, Catholic missionary.
who was held prisoner on St. John
Island tSancian) by the bandit leader
Chan Chuk Saam, about a year ago.
Saam, says the letter, was forced to
hide in the mountains, fearing ven
geance from the brother Of one of his
murdered victims if he returned to
his own district. He spent months
gathering forces for an attack on the
city OF kWonghOi, with a population
or 10000 Situated on the mainland
opposite Sancian Island.
When S3am and his 500 followers
entered the city they found them
seit IN a trap. kwonghoi was sur
rounded by 1000 picked soldiers, who
captured the bandits in less than three
weeks.
"Chan Chuk Saam," the letter con-

trial He and nine of his men were
executed at Honeymoon. On the same
day at kWonghoi 236 of his men were
executed, and on the following day, 73.
Two days later 124 more went to their
reward.
"One of the 10 leaders, with his
wife and child, in an effort to escape
had sought refuge in a cave in the
mountains. 1t seems the child be-
came frightened and began to cry,
and, fearing they would be detected,
the bandit strangled the child with his
own hands; but he was shot by his
