THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
COVE
By Chirk Evans.
M Y butrinem takes me lo many
offices throughout the city, and
these little visit* bring many
Interesting experiences. Not long ago.
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 9 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
shm 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 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 boy 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, 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 he 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 he cruelly heavy, hut 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 carry a
bag full of clubs when a fine golf
match Is in progress than to occupy
a good seat at a game of baseball or
football Prom 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 elands to watch other men
exercise The caddy is 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 golf club, and these 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 boy 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. I should not like to think
that the majority of caddies become
professional*. good as that work is,
and I believe that only a small per
centage do so. It Is easy to trace from
caddy to office boy. but In higher posi
tions the caddy identity is sometimes
hidden. I believe, however, that cad
dies are to he found in every walk
of life, and 1 am sure that they* are
making good.”

Oh
Sees Whitney Work Out J
■!•#»!• 4*e*h *he*h “»*e4*
Dons Mitts With Packey
AGO, ILL., Aug. 7.—Has
harley White, pound for pound
the bert 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
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.
• • •
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 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
and the crowd was on its feet during
several stages of the combat.
Two glaring eyes kept watching
e\ erv move made by the hoy from
Cedar Rapids These same eyes
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
Pat-key was having the time of his
life trying to get home his left hook.
• * *
N OW. every one knows that Char-
lev’s best blow is his left hook,
Cross a Real Boxing Fan
for Pa to Capture Title
followed by a right cross.
White beats Whitney or
Whether
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 kpow 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 his 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.
• * *
UfHEN White left the gymnasium
* * many of those 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 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 \\p 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
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 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.

And wrote him a gladsome lay
Of fish that gleam in the woodland
stream
And leap in the silver spray.
He sang of musky and bass and trout
And his little canoe of birch,
liut the only fish he had ever pulled
out
Was a little anemic perch.
He sang a song of the virgin wood,
Of the forest old and sere
Where the hunters ereep in the run
ways deep
And wait for the nimble deer.
He sang of the moose that he longed
to pot
[s it called in its far-flung tones,
But the only thing he ever shot
Was a pair of the rolling hones.
He sang a song of the bounding main
Where the gulls and the mi rmaids j
play.
Of tlo whistling gale and the bulging
sail
And the tang of the drifting spray.
Hr sang of the joy as he tightly
tripped
O'er the sea on his bounding bark,
But the only boat he had ever skipped
Was a rowboat in Piedmont Park.
The rush for shelter in the American
League Is due to the rumor that Jimmy
Callahan Intends to perpetrate another

should be annoyed, as It were.

SPEED.
Old Joe Dunn smote it to the fence.
It was an airful binglc %
And by a burst of fearful speed
He almost made a single.
The president of the Federal League
has retired on account of overwork, but
there Is no truth in the rumor that he
was overworked In the act of counting
gats receipts.
While there are skeptical persons who
do not believe that Mr. Dunn Is fast,
It Is a well-known fact that he can cling
faster to a base than any athlete In
baseball.
We are indebted to the Federal
league for the custom of granting mag
nates an occasional leave of absence.
If the practice only spreads to the Na
tional League all will be well.

TWENTY-FIVE-MILE race is
to be the feature event of a
swell-looking program that
Jack Prince has scheduled at hi* sau
cer Friday night. All ten of the fa-
mbus 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 boy, Harry
Glenn, ha* 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 be three heats of
one mile and a final of two miles.
Following Is the 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). First
Heat—Richards, Lockner, Graves.

OS ANGELES, Aug. 7.—Baby
Cross is a boxing fan.
She is not familiar with left
hook* 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
vinced is a two-minute talk with her.
Cross lias 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 thpt 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, 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 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 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 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
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, 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 Cross 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-tow ner* for the
Whitney bout whiclw 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.

letics. He declared that if he finds

Charley White, the Chicago sensa

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
dav 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

Despite the fact that Gunboat Smith’
has won every fight in which he has
participated in the past year, experts
predict defeat for him when he tackles
Jim Flynn on next Friday night at

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. The
champion has decided to defend his title
against Freddie Welsh in a 20-round en
gagement at Vancouver on September 1.
* * *
Wolgast. however, appears to be the
big loser The Mexican has signed arti
cles to meet Leach Cross in Tom Me-
Carey’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
hand. 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 158
pounds at 3 o’clock.

Mike Glover, the Boston lightweight,
is earnestly striving to get a match with
Jack Britton. The former showed much
class 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. He
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.
