TOMORROW night we have the

Luther McCarty at Los Angeles.
Flynn has been showing in Los
Angeles since the days of Noah.
During the last two years he has
developed the "punch," and this
fact has given him a second lease
on pugilistic life.
McCarty was unknown until he
blazed into the columns of the
sport pages by knocking out both
Carl Morris and Al Kaufman. It
wasn’t the caliber of the men he
whipped so much as the ease with
which the Nebraska heavy dropped
his victims that brought him into
prominence.
Al Balzer, the New Yorker, is to
meet the winner.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1912.
Among those who may be men
tioned at this time is our little
German friend. Dui’.y Unholz,
farmer of Denver. Colo., mid at
one time one of the best adver
tised fighters in the business.
Thanksgiving day Rudy was in
veigled into going to Memphis.
Tenn., to battle ore Joe Sehrman,
of Baltimore. Mil., at Willie Haack’s
chib. Rudy didn’t 1 mcy the match
particularly, but being anxious to
get started, he took it on at 135
pounds. Whin he got to Memphis
he found it was to be 138 pounds
instead. When it came time to
weigh in. Sherman was invisible
and never did show up. He admit
ted to 142, but looked all of 148.
Unholz took him on unhesitatingly
and fought so valiantly that he got
a draw, anil, if anything, had «a
little shade on the heavy work.
That made six straight victories
tor Rudy, which include the twen
ty-round draw he had with Yoak
um in Las Vegas, N. M., the night
before the Johnson-Flynn battle,
which contest Rudy really won, but
got no better than a draw. He
knocked out a tough one in Vic
tor, Colo., Labor day and thinks
he has done enough to demonstrate
that he is a real come-back.
There is no reason now why the
promoters shouldn’t take care of
Unholz. He is a sincere, honest
little fellow who gives his very
best efforts at all times. The game
would be vastly better off if some
of the knockers took cognizance of
him and tried to model themselves
accordingly.

AMERICANS MAY PLAY IM
BRITISH GOLF TOURNEY
NEW YORK. Dec. 9. It is likely that
several American amateur golfers will
visit England next spring t<» attend the
British amateur’ championship over the
St. Andrews course.
Findlay S. Douglas, who came to Amer
ica a dozen years ago and has been the
bolder of both the national and metropol
itan titles, became imbued with the idea
that he would like to vis.'i > Andrews,
his old home couise. This desire was
accentuated by the fact that this fa
mous course would be the scene of the
British championship. Douglas then
conceived the idea of asking several
friends to accompany him. When he
mentioned the matter they became en
thusiastic* and expressed a desire to make
up a congenial par ty fpr a six weeks’ trip,
visiting St. Andrews and possibly several
other courses in England. Scot land or on
the continent.
There is to be no regularly organized
attempt to get up a party with the ex
pressed purpose of making a raid on
British titles. Rather it is to be 4 num
ber of well known golfers making a pleas
ure ble trip together. Thee fforts on the
