[Y business takes me lo many offices throughout the city, and Ihese little visits 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’ 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 »h*n that I had played and long ago forgotten. It was a great pleasure to roe to be remembered by this young boy and it was a double 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 hoy is not the only caddie 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 as a rule, the player with a heavy bag does not choose a small c;»ddy. 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 hag full of clubs when a fine match is in progress than to occupy COOKED AND SERVED D FOR FANS aik JXi | <SQT TUJO MEDALS *)0U).

Aug 7—Has Charley White, pound for pound the bent 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 around sporting circles to-day. Whitney and White meet In Atlanta next Wednes day. Several hundred fans* saw Whitney and McFarland box three rounds at breakneck speed yesterday. They were ah’* aware of the fact that Charley was an Interested spectator. Proba bly every one In the gymnasium, with the exception of Whitney, knew this. Mavhe. if Frank had known White was present he would have ceased In his grind. Blit, nevertheless, he didn’t and the battle Whitney and McFarland put up was worth any one’s time • • • THK two boys had a merry battle * They mixed 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 stages of the combat. Two glaring eyes kept watching e\ cry move made by the boy from Cedar Rapids These same eyen 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 Poke?' was having the time of his life trying to get home his left hook XT OW ^ le> every one knows that Char- s best blow is his left hook, followed by a right cross. Whether White heats Whitney or not the writer does not care to predict. But one thing is certain, and that is thnt 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 thnt his coming opponent was an Interested spectator. But Frank is not one of those who wor th 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. • • • • \1THFN 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 he 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 hook 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 surmised. Charley picked up “Special Delivery” Hirsch, a tough lightweight on his 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 gloves in disgust. Rut the blow that made Hirsch quit was not a left hook to the jay.’. 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 defeat Whitney. He wanted to try out a new punch, and It Is dollars to doughnuts that it will he the left to the stomach instead of a left hook to the jaw that Mr. White uses against Whitney in Atlanta on August 13.

TWENTY-FIVE-MILE race is to be the feature event of a swell-looking program that Jack Prince has scheduled at hip sau cer Friday night. All ten of the fa mous riders now here will start, and the way their machines are travel ing these days It Is almost a cinch that a new record will be established for the distance. This race Is for the championship of the South. Richards want** that title, so does McNeil and all the others. And an Atlanta hoy, Harry Glenn, has a fine chance of copping this event, too. Harry showed marked improvement last Tuesday night, and he ought to be even better Friday. By the way. Glenn is to be seen in 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 three. The Motordrome Purne will open the card. There will be three heats of one mile and a final of two miles. Following is the complete program for Friday night: First Event.

The president of the Federal League haa retired on account of overwork, but there is no truth in the rumor that he was overworked In the act of counting ! gate receipts. )S ANGET.ES, Aug. 7.—Baby Cross is a boxing fan. She is not familiar with left hooks and right uppercuts, but she does know her daddy is going to be the next lightweight champion of the world. And all one needs to be con- vine.-.1 is h two-minute talk with her. Gross has won many friends through his earnest work in the ring, hut 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 plans 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 formM part of the dally program, but 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 Gross work will be glad to see him lightweight champion if he attains! that honor, hut happiest and proudest of all will be his baby daughter. Baby Gross was at her father’s training camp while he prepared for his bouts 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 this way he believes that he will never be defeated. Gross 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 his training camp when he Is pre paring for a match. It is a pretty picture to see the Cleveland boy play ing on the white sand at Venice with his two children while his 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 FYlsoo 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 has 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 w’ith 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 Crons is 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 lightweight says that the baby’s charm might be broken if she occupied a ringside seat. Three hundred seats have been taken by out-of-tov\ nern for the Whitney bout which takes place at the Auditorium-Armory next Wednes day night. One hundred and twenty- five of these have been secured by Macon fans. The other 175 are well scattered throughout other neighbor ing cities and towns. The tickets went on sale this morn ing at Shepherd’s Segar store, corner of Edgewood and Pryor. REDS PURCHASE INFIELDER. SEATTLE, WASH..

Aug. 7.—Ed Walsh, star pitcher of of Chicago American League club, left yesterday to visit a specialist at Youngstowm. Ohio, where he will un dergo an examination to ascertain whether his career as twirler is at an end. His last apearance with the White Sox was in Chicago July 19, when he was obliged to retire after pitching two innings against the Philadelphia Ath letics. He declared that if he finds himself unable to pitch again, he will make an effort to become an outfielder. SCHWARTZ RELEASES TWO.

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 tight in which he has participated in the past year, experts predict defeat for him when he tackles Jim Flynn on next Friday night at Madison Square Garden, New York. Most of the experts claim that Flynn's experience will bring him home a win ner over the Easterner • * * Both Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers were sidetracked by Willie Ritchie.
