10 . THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Us Boys * ^ United HUtaa Patent Office. ERT 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.” ST (SOLLX IfTA/nT 50MF PUHKIM/THEN THEY) Ain't NO PUNKIN9- £A6tEBEAK SAID I WAS / THE ’NEXT 0EST PITCHER L A jTO HlfO IN THIS HERE/i AiGRLD 1 r —' PLAIN NUTTY.

I You ffi/wi VboT) 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.

Old King Cole looms up like a world beater In the American Association. So, also, did Laverne Chappell. \ TWENTY-FIVE-MILE race Is r\ 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 cinch that * 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, lias a fine chance of copping tills 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 Pursue 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. Second Event.

McLoughlin and Thomas Bunda> lor the nation.il tennis championship in doubles at Newport. R. I., on August 18. They wen this right 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. 1 Opium WhUkey «nd I>ru* H*bU« treated B at Home or at S»n1t*riuuj. Book on BiO*l*»d I fVee. OR. B. M. OOU-EY, 44-N.
