THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1912.
Among those who may be men
tioned at this time is our little
German friend, Rudy Vnholz.
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.
Vnholz 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 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 IN

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—lt is likely that
several American amateur golfers will
next spring to attend the
British amateur championship over the
St. Andrews course.
Findlay S Douglas, who came to Amer
ica a dozer years ag<. and has been the
holder of both the national and metropol
itan titles, became imbued with the idea
that he would like to visit St. Andrews,
his old home course. 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
iriends to accoippany him. When he
mentioned the matter they became en
thusiastic and expressed a desire to make
up a congenial party for a six weeks’ trip,
visiting St. Andrews and possibly several
other courses in England, Scotland or on
the continent.
There is to be no regularly organized
attempt to gel up a party with the ex
pressed purpose of 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
