Whitney and Miller in Fine
Condition for Tonight’s Bout
FRANK WHITNEY and Chairlie
Miller wound up training this
morning for their ten-round
battle at the Gate City Athletic
elub tonight. Sizing up the dope,
this scrap promises to be the best
lightweight bout ever staged in At
lanta.
Whitney did not arrive until Sun
day. as he wa« late leaving Chica
go. where he has been training
with Jack Johnson. Frank sparred
dailt with the champion, and he
should enter the ring in the best
of condition. “T_.fl Artha" also
taught Whitney many tine points of
the game, which should aid him in
tonight's bout.
Miller will also enter the ring in
the best condition of his career, too,

■ Flanders “20” Roadeter, $750
*
I Some of our competitors guarantee their cars for 90 days.
I All right; that’s better than nothing and good enough for »
some people who don’t care. It is even a quarter as good as
s '\\ ’ the Studebaker guarantee. r \l
Then there is another kind of guarantee. A guarantee »
J ashamed of itself, we call it, because all the assurance you . !
ra have is the car’s “records.” That is about as good as a ts |
<1 premise that wasn’t made. The dealer knows his car better $1 ’
■;?l than you do and if he won’t sign a guarantee, be careful. ;
SS| This is where the Studebaker guarantee comes to the
Jl’j front. It is as good as gold—a signed warranty bond of The fflj
Studebaker Corporation. And it’s good for a year because ’S'j
*V every Studebaker E-M-F “30 ” or Flanders "20” is worth the
price you pay for it. We know what our cars will do and we

Miller’s greatest fights were
with Young Erne, of Philadelphia.
He received the decision in one of
the bouts, while the other one was
called a draw. Erne has the dis
tinction of holding Paekey Me-
Farlund to a draw.
Joe Mandot is scheduled to meet
the winner of tonight’s bout al
St. Joseph. Mo., in the near future,
'and this incentive should make the
fight a orket.

box six rounds in the semi-windup.

Cracker C/ub /Wakes Desperate Hunt for More Players
WANTED: SOME HIJRIERSAND MAYBE A SHORTSTOP
By Percy H. Whiting.
4 T TE4.E, the Atlanta pitching
\ Y staff will not do.
The sad truth has
come over Manager Hemphill. He
has given the men every chance. He
hat- b eked them up with a team
that fields fairly well and that hits ;
like a heavyweight. But they don't
win games.
If the Cracker pitchers had
hulled as well as the Cracker play
ers have batted, the Crackers would
be out in front, with a four or five
game lead.
Nobody at baseball headquarters
or elsewhere will mention the word
"pitcher” above a whisper. But
they are hunting for two or maybe
three—that’s a cinch; and they’re
hunting hard.
Whether the Crackers are also
looking for an infielder—specifical
ly a shortstop—or not remains to
be demonstrated. They will not

Before Fete O’Brien Dft At

me. If 1 find that 1 <.m t get in th*

he’ll never bo troubled. I'll resign

and his sincerity and native, inborn
sense, we believe he'll do it.
The show-down in the O’Brien
case is coming soon. If Pete is ever
to get right it is neaily time. The
season is more than a month old.
It is true the weather ha> been bad.
but there isn't any promise held out
that it is ever going to he much
better. And surely the Crackers
need a man in that short field who
