6 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. E Us Boys ^ * * R^f1w»^r^4 rrrlted AUhm Pst«nt OffW Skinny Hasn’t Much Room for More Medals M' By Chick Evans. fY business tak*»s me to many offices throughout the city, and these little visits bring many interesting experiences Not long -igo. ns I was entering n certain office, the boy near the door looked souarely 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 caHed me Walter." It was a very pleasant memory that the boy evoked and In a moment he was recalling some particular lucky shrt that I had played and long ago forgotten It was a great pleasure to me to be remembered by this young hoy and It was a doubl ■ pleasure to bring to mind once more n very happy occasion m 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 'addle that I have met In offices in my tramps about the city. What becomes of the caddy when the short, too short, nerlod 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 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 earn bag full of clubs when a fine g match is in progress than to orci a good seat at a game of baseball football From a physical point view It Is certainly better for a I to tramp happily over yielding t than to sit in cramped attitude on crowded Htands to watch other men exercise The caddy is really a part of the game; he has the same ex- ercise is 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 golf club, and thene members are usually the leading business and pro fessional 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 hoy fullv enjoys its advantages. 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 tha centage do so. It caddy to office boy. but in higher p< tions* the caddy identity is sometimes hidden. 1 believe, however, that cad dies ire to be found in every walk <.f life, and I am sure that they are "making good.” 61 GOLlAf IF l A/NT 50ME PUSKIM,THEN THEY AinT MO PDMKM*-6A6UEBEAK SAID I WAS hue’NEXT best pitcher TO HIN5 IN THIS HERE WORLD 1 f / EAGLE WHAf ■ DID YOU 60 AND l TELL SSinnt ' / $ ALL RIGHT, \ WAS JUST THE) AIN'T HALT AS $all Riirfi; KlDD/tf HIM- NO PlT| I that s the kind of a S /l l u lr i'm • — ,'Li-HAU6_To TAKE A , . 5k FALL OUTER, SKINNY / BE FORE HE 6£TS TOO FFtESHl ( 5EE.

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 al«o aware of the fact that Charley was an interested spectator. Proba bly every one in the gymnasium, with the exception of Whitney, knew this Maybe, if Frank had known White was present he would have ceased in his grind. But, nevertheless, he didn't and the battle Whitney and McFarland put up was worth any one’s time. .000 220 00* 4 .000 100 001— 2 liases Walsh, Bisland. Two- base hit Johnson. Three-base hit King.

Packey wanted the work-out, as he is 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 arid the crowd was on its feet during several stages of the combat. Two glaring eyes kept watching e\ pry move made by the boy from Cedar Rapids. These same eye*' also noticed that McFarland, who knows White's style of boxing better than any other rlngman 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. * * • N T OW. every one knows that Char- ^ lev's best blow is his left hook, 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 ids coming opponent was an interested spectator. But Frank is 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. Baby Cross a Real Boxing Fan *!•••!* *!•••!* Roots for Pa to Capture Title A \UHEN White left * * many of those followed by j White beats i right cross. Whitney or Whether not the the gymnasium who were pres ent thought he was bound 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 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 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 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 feet 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 be the left t 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 his 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 cln-'h that a new record will be established for the distance. This race is for the championship of the South. Richards wants that title, so does McNeil and all the others. And an Atlanta boy, 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 Purse will open the card. There will he three heats of one mile and a final of two miles. Following is tlie complete program for Friday night: First Event. Motordrome Purse (qualifying heats, one mile; final, two miles; win ners of trial heats and second man in fastest heat to qualify).

She is not familiar with left hook*' and right uppercuts, but she* does know her daddy is going to he the next lightweight champion of the world. And all one needs to be con vinced is a two-minute talk with her. Gross 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 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 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. Babv 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 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. 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 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 Frisco boy over the 20-round rotlte. 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, he 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 Grots Ss rooting for her dad to beconfe cham pion. And maybe she wouldn’t oe glad if Leach would permit her to sec a regular ring bout. But the hard hitting lightweight says that the baby’s charm might be broken if she occupied a ringside seat. Out-of-Town Fans Buy Boxing Tickets Three hundred seats have been taken by out-of-towners for tne 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 ancUtowns. 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.—Second r'-^niin John Rawlings, of Victoria, ire aorthwestern League, was sold yesterday to the Cincinnati team, of the National League, for $2,000. Rawlings will report to Cincinnati next spring. ED WALSH TO HAVE ARM EXAMINED AT YOUNGSTOWN CHICAG6. Aug. 7.—Ed Walsh, star pitcher of of Chicago American League club, left yesterday to visit a specialist at Youngstown, 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. NASHVILLE.
