A yyell behaved little man was
Joe Gans. At Goldfield, day after
day. Joe would slouch into the Hot
gymnasium, go through his work,
and leave without having looked at
his audience. Unless he was spoken
to first, Gans was a mute while
among white men.
The same can be said for little
George Dixon and the giant. Peter
Jackson. Sammy Langford, a
clown at heart, sought to convulse
his training camp crowds with iiis
antics, but in addressing a white
man Sam always held his hat in his
hand.

Luther McCarty at Los Angeles.
Flynn has been showing -in Los

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.

xHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1912.
Among those who may be men
tioned at this time is our little
German friend, Rudy Unholz,
farmer of Denver, Colo., and 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 one Joe Sherman,
of. Baltimore, Md„ at Willie Haack's
club. Rudy didn't fancy the match
particularly, but being anxious to
get started, he took it on at 135
pounds. When 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, and. if anything, had a
little shade on the heavy work.
That made six straight victories
for Rudy, which include the twen
ty-round draw he had with Yoak
um in Lae 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 cate 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.
A Nelson-Unholz mill here in At
lanta might prove mighty inter
esting.

Ban Johnson was a sporting writer
once and was one of the few experts who
really saw the Sullivan-Kilrain tight.
Dode Birmingham, of the Naps, was a
wonder football kicker when lie was in

a class game, played through snow and

three drop kicks, one from the 50-vard

leaguer, with Pittsburg, split a telegraph
pole with his automobile the other day
it was supposed that he escaped with
only a few scratches. Later internal in

he may. Here’s hoping.

AMERICANS MAY PLAY IN
BRITISH GOLF TOURNEY
NEU YORK, Dee. 9. —It is likely that
several American amateur golfers will
England next spring to attend the
J/ptish amateur championship over the
St. Andrews course.
Findlay S. Douglas, who came to Amer
ica a dozer years ago and has been the
noider of both the national and metropol
itan titles, became imbued with the idea
liiat he would like to visit St. Andrews,
his old home course. This desire was
accentuated by the fact that this fa
course would be the 1 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 party fora six weeks’ trip,
visiting St. Andrews and possibly several
other ''ourses in England, Scotland or on
the continent.
There is to be no regularly organized
attempt to get up a party with the ex
pressed purpose <»f making a raid on
British titles. Rather it is to be a num
ber of well known golfers making a pleas
urable trip together. The efforts on the
part of American players in Britain have
been attended with failure with the ex-
