for the disgraceful acts of John

has known his place and been care
ful to keep it.
A well 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 4 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 his
antics, but in addressing a white
man Sam always held his hat in his

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

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.

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 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. Aid., 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 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.

Findlay S. Douglas, who came to Amer
