'J'OMORROW night we have the old warrior, Jim Flynn, boxing 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 leasb 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.

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. A Nelson-Unholz mill here in At lanta might prove mighty inter esting.

(Advt ) AMERICANS MAY PLAY IN BRITISH GOLF TOURNEY 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.
