TTTT ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
By Chick Evans.
M Y bu»lne«® takes me to many
offices throughout the city, and
these little visit® bring many
Interesting experience®. Not long ago,
as I was entering a certain office, the
boy near the door looked squarely at
me for a moment, then brightened up
and said: “Hello, Chick, don’t you
remember me 1 ’ I caddied for you at
Wheaton and you called me Walter.’’
It was a very pleasant memory that
the boy evoked and In a moment
he was recalling some particular lucky
shet that I had played and long ago
forgotten It was a great pleasure to
me to be remembered by this young
boy and It was a doubl? pleasure to
bring to mind once more a very happy
occasion
This little incident, however, mere
ly leads to a subject very near to my
heart—the future of the little caddie,
for this boy Is not the only saddle
that I have met In offices in my
tramps about the city. What becomes
of the caddy when the short, too
short, period of his school days Is past
and he must desert the links for other
employment?
Caddie's Work Healthful.
I do not think that there can be a
better all-around employment for the
small boy than caddying It is whole
some, outdoor work, and has brought
health to' many a delicate boy Almost
every other form of labor Is injurious
to the small boy. and. of course, caddy
bags can be cruelly heavy, but hs a
rule, the player with a heavy hag does
not choose a small caddy. The caddy
enjoys fresh air and interest In a
game which are all the advantages of
play. It has always seemed to me
that It Is more interesting to carry a
bag full of club® when a fine golf
match Is in progress than to occupy
a good seat at a game of baseball or
football. From a physical point of
view It Is certainly better for a boy
to tramp happily over yielding turf
than to sit in cramped attitude on
crowded stands to watch other men
exercise. The caddy 1® really a
part of the game; he has the same ex
ercise as* his employer; he sees the
play and is Interested, and Is frequent -
ly consulted as to choice of club.
Furthermore, he has the advantage
of association with the members of
the coif club, and these members are
usually the leading business and !*•».-
feesional men of the community.
Most of Them “Making Good.”
There Is a general belief that club
members are dissipated, mere club
rounders, In fact. My experience
flatly contradicts thin. The influence
of the golf links Is wholesome, physi
cally and morally, and the boy fullv
enjoys its* advantage®. When the
time comes for the caddy to go to
work he usually obtains his first job
through the good offices of a club
member. 1 should not like to think |
that the majority of caddies become
professionals, good as that work Is,
and I believe that only a small per
centage do so. It easy to trace from
caddy to office boy, but In higher posi
tion® the caddy Identity is sometimes
hidden. I believe, however, that cad
dies are to be found In every walk
of life, and 1 am sure that they are
“making good.’’

Frank Dons Mitts With Packey
C HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 7.—Has
Charley White, pound for pound
the best boxer In the game to
day, put one over on Frank Whitney,
the fighting carpenter from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa? This Is the question
fans who were at O’Connell’s gymna
sium yesterday are asking .round
sporting circles to-day. Whitney and
White meet in Atlanta next Wednes
day.
Several hundred fan® saw Whitney
and McFarland box three rounds at
breakneck speed yesterday. They were
also aware of the fact that Charley
was an interested spectator Proba
bly every one In the gymnasium, with
the exception cf Whitney, knew this.
Maybe, if Ftvik had known White
was present he would have ceased In
hi® grind. But, nevertheless, he
didn’t and the battle Whitney and
McFarland put up was worth any
one’s time.
• • •
THE two boy® had a merry battle.
* They mix* d It at close quarters
and boxed at long range. Packey
wanted the work-out, as he in train
ing for a busy fall campaign. Whit
ney Is a rough and tough scrapper.
Just the kind McFarland likes to work
with The rounds were full of action
and the crowd was on Its feet during
several stage® of the combat.
Two glaring eyes kept watching
e\ cry move made by the boy from
Cedar Rapid®. These same eye-’
also noticed that McFarland, who
knows White’s style of boxing better
than any other ringman in the world,
was mixing it with Whitney. He also
was aware of the fact that Whitney's
defense was kept high and that
Packey was having the time of his
life trying to get home his left hook.
* • •
VT OW, every one know ® that Char-
ley's best blow i® his left hook,
followed by a right cross. Whether
White beats Whitney or not the
writer does not care to predict. But
one thing Is certain, and that is that
Charley will have the time of his life
hitting Whitney with this punch.
Whitney knows White’s style, and
he has solved a defense for the Chi
cago boy’s favorite wallop. Charley
saw Whitney box yesterday. Frank
didn’t know it. He showed every
thing he had In his scrap with Packey,
and White was present to pick up a
few pointers. When Whitney jumped
out of the ring it was the first time
he knew that hi® coming opponent
was an Interested spectator. But
Frank 1® not one of those who wor
ries over things of this kind. He
simply smiled and stated that he
would stroll over to Lewis’ gymna
sium to-morrow and watch Charley
in action.
• * •
\UHEN White left the gymnasium
many of those who were pres
ent thought he was hound for home.
White evidently wanted them to think
so. but be had another errand on.
Charley does his boxing at Lewis’
gymnasium and that was where he
was bound for. The writer knows
Charley like a book and thought it
best to take a trip to the “gym” and
see just what the Chicago boy was
going to put over.'
Just as we sqrmised. Charley picked
up "Special Delivery” Hirsch, a tough
lightweight, on hi® way to work out,
and it wasn’t many more minutes be
fore he was hard at work. And it was
not long before Hirsch threw up the
glove® in disgust. But the blow that
made Hirsch quit was not a left hook
to the jaw. It was a left to the stom
ach. It did not take Charley long to
find out that he would have to per
fect some other punch if he hoped to
def a ( Whitney. H< w anti ! to try
out a new punch, and it is dollars to
doughnuts that it will be the left to
the stomach instead of a left hook to
the jaw that Mr. White uses against
Whitney in Atlanta on August 13.

he ought to be even better Friday.

another match race. He hasn't been
defeated yet in a two-handed, or
rather a two-machine event. But in
George Lockner he is going up against
a real racer this time. It will be a
two-mile affair, two best heats in

Baby Cross a Real Boxing Fan
►!«®v v®*F v • -1*
Roots for Pa to Capture Title
L OS ANGELES, Aug. 7.—Baby
Cross is a boxing fan.
She is not familiar with left
hook® and right uppercuts, but she
doe® know her daddy is going to* be
tlic next lightweight champion of the
world. And all one needs to be con
vinced is a two-minute talk with her.
Cross has won many friends
through his earnest work in the ring,
but he has no more enthusiastic ad
mirer than his little daughter. “When
daddy is champion” she will reach the
mecca of all her dreams, and plan®
for that day fill many of her waking
hours.
Of course, she never has seen daddy
in a real battle, but often during
training work she and her mother
are at the ringside watching him in
his practice bouts. She is fond of
the rope skipping and weight pulling,
and always is interested in the box
ing which form® part of the daily
program, hut most of all she loves
the frolic with daddy after his stren
uous work is done, and the kiss which
is sure to follow the fun.
Baby Has Warm Friends.
Many who have seen Cross work
will be glad to see him lightweight
champion if he attain® that honor,
but happiest and proudest of all will
be his baby daughter.
Baby Cross was at her father's
training camp while he prepared for
his bout® with “Bud” Anderson and
Matty Baldwin. The New Yorker won
both contests, and he says that in
future his little daughter will have to
accompany him on his tours of the
country. In thi® way he believes that
he will never be defeated.
Cross is not the first boxer who has
visited the coast that has had a baby
daughter for a mascot. Johnny Kil-
bane, the featherweight champion, has
two baby mascots and they are always
at hi® training camp when he is pre
paring for a match. It i9 a pretty
picture to see the Cleveland boy play
ing on the white sand at Venice with
his two children while hi® young wife
sits near by.
Cross has hopes of securing a bout
with Champion Willie Ritchie. Leach
claims that he would be able to de
feat the Frisco boy over the 20-round
route. He declares, that he would
surely knock out the champion if he
could land his famous right-hand
punch which ha® flattened many a
famous ringman.
May Battle Joe Rivers.
If Cross does not get a date with
Ritchie, be will probably be signed to
clash with Joe Rivers, the Mexican
lightweight.
Rivers is a favorite on the coast,
even though he was beaten by Ritchie,
and he would be a big drawing card
if pitted against a boxer of Cross’
ability.
In the meantime. Baby Cross i®
rooting for her dad to become cham
pion. And maybe she wouldn’t oe
glad if Leach would permit her to see
a regular ring bout. But the hard
hitting lighfweight says that the
baby’® charm might be broken if she
occupied a ringside seat.
RINGSIDE NEWS
Charley White, the Chicago sensa
tion. who meets Frank Whitney at the
Auditorium-Armory on August 13, is
doing his training at Nate Lewis’s gym
nasium in Chicago. Charley plans to
arrive in Atlanta Saturday morning, one
day later than Whitney.
* • •
This will give the fans several days
to look over the rival lightweights. Both
boys will complete their training grind
here Whitney will work at the Atlanta
Athletic Club, while White is expected
to train at Ponce DeLeon ball park.

Despite the fact that Gunboat Smith
has won every fight in w^hich he has
participated in the past year, experts
predict defeat for him when he tackles
Jim Flynn on next Friday r.ight at
Madison Square Garden, New York.
Most of the experts claim that Flynn's
experience will bring him home a w r ir.-
ner over the Easterner.

Both Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers w’ere
sidetracked by Willie Ritchie. The
champion has dec ided to defend his title
against Freddie Welsh in a 20-round en
gagement at Vancouver on September 1.
. it
Wolgast, however, appears to be the
Mg loser. The Mexican has signed arti
cles to meet Leach Cross in Tom Mc
Carty's arena at Los Angeles, and it
would not surprise many to see this
bout-draw’ as much money as the
Ritchie Welsh set-to. On the other
band. Wolgast must now look for a
suitable opponent to meet.
Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, and
"Knockout” Brown, of Chicago, may
wage battle soon. Nate Lewis, manager
of Brown, writes from Chicago that he
has signed his protege to box Dillon at
Indianapolis. The bout will take place
some time next month at Terre Haute.
Ind. They have agreed to weigh 15S
pounds at 3 o’clock.

Mike Glover, the Boston lightweight,
is earnestly striving to get a match with
Jack Britton. The former showed much
ass in his recent mills in the “Bean
Town” city. /
Packey McFarland wants it to be
known that there is no chance to drag
him into the welterweight class. Ho
says he is able to do 135 pounds-and will
continue to box at that weight.
Jack White has been made an even
money bet against Johnny Dundee for
the 20-round clash at Los Angeles on
August 12. Since Joe Levy has taken
hold of Jack he has shown a 50 per cent
improvement.
