Skinny Hasn’t Much Room for More Medals
By Chirk Evans.
M Y buslne** take* me io many
office* throughout the city, and
these little vifclt* bring: many
interesting experience* Not long ago.
a* I was entering a certain office, the
boy near the door looked squarely at
m^ for a moment, then brightened up
and said: “Hello, Chick, don't you
remember me 7 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
shot that I had played and long ago
forgotten It was a great pleasure to
me to be remembered bv th 1 *• young
bov and It was a double pleasure to
bring to mind once more a very happy
occ udon
This little Incident, however, mere,
ly leads to n subject very near to my
heart—the future of the little caddie,
for this bov is not the only caddie
that I have met in offices in my
tramp* 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 oth< r
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 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 irr 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 >r
football. Proin 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 i» really a
part o/ the game; he has the same ex
ercise in 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.
Moit of Them “Making Good.”
There is a general belief that club
members are dissipated, mere club
rounders, in fact. My experience
flatly contradicts this. The influence
of the golf links Is wholesome, physi
cally and morally, and the boy fullv
er.joys Its advantages. When the
time conies for the caddy to go t ■ >
work lie 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
professionals, pood as that work Is,
and I believe that only a small per
centage do so. It Iseasv-to trace from
caddy to office boy, but In higher posi-
tiom« 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.”

White Sees Whitney Work Out TWENTY-FIVE
Frank Dons Mitts With Packey HE It IT
Baby Cross a Real Boxing Fan
C HICAGO. ILL., Aug. 7.—Has
Charley White, pound for pound
the boMt boxer in the game to
day, put one over on Frank Whitney,
the fighting carpenter from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa? This is tin* 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
ard MeFarland 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 tb<* gymnasium, with
the exception of Whitney, knew this.
Maybe, if Flank had known Whit,
was present he would have ceased in
his grind. But, nevertheless, he
didn’t and the battle Whitney and
MeFarland put up was worth any
one’s time.
* • •
THE two boy» had a merry battle
* 'Whey mixed it at close quarter
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\ery move made by tlie boy from
Cedar Rapids. These same eye-
also noticed that McFarland, who
know* White’* style of boxing better
than any other ringman in the world,
was mixing It with Whitney. He also
was aware of the fact that Whitnev’s
defense was kept high and that
Packey was having the time of his
life trying to get home his left hook
• * •
MOW. every on* knows; that Char-
ley’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 that
Charley will have the time of his life
hitting Whitney with this punch.
Whitney knows White’s style, and
he has solved a defence for the Chi
cago hoy’s favorite wallop. Charley
9iiw 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 i
few pointers. When Whitney Jumped
out of the ring if was the first time
he knew that his corning opponent
wan an interested spectator. Blit
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.
* • *
\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 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 ns we surmised. Charley picked
up “Special Delivery” Hlrsch. 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 Hlrsch threw up the
gloves* in disgust. But the blow that
made Hlrsch 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 now punch, and it is dollars to
doughnuts that It will he the left to
the stomach Instead of a left hook to
th.- jaw that Mr. White uses against
Whitney in Atlanta on August 13.

championship in doubles at Newport. R.

by defeating in straight sets Gustave
Touchard and \V M Washburn, of New
York. Eastern tennis champions. The
scores in the games yesterday at On-
wentsia were 6-1. 8-fi and 6-4. The
Easterners were outplayed and outgen
eraled in every game.
Aug. 7.—Baby
g fan.
She is not familiar with left
hooka 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 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
♦raining 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 forms* 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 surf to follow the fun.
Baby Has Warm Friends.
Many who have seen Cross work
will be glad to see him lightweight
champion if he attains* 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 thin 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 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 Croats is
rooting for her clad 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.
Out-of-Town Fans
Buy Boxing Tickets
Three hundred seats have been
| taken by out-of-towners 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.
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 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. The
champion has decided to defend his title
against Freddie Welsh in a 20-round en
g&gement 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 Mc-
Carey’s arena at Los Angeles, and it
would not surprise many to see this
bout draw as much money as the
J Ritchie-Welsh set-to. On the other
, hand. Wolgast must now* look for a
j suitable opponent to meet.
