What Has C.
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
T tt r HEX the gontr clangs that senijs
yy Charley White, of Chicago, |
against Frank Whitney, of
Cedar Rapids, in their 10-round
struggle at the Auditorium-Armor.v
to-night, Atlanta patrons of flstiana
will have the opportunity of witness
ing |heir first battle that will have
a weighty bearing on a world’s title.
White is not a champion, but fistic
experts the length and breadth of the
United States are unanimous in de
claring him the most dangerous man
in the lightweight division. Beyond
doubt ho is the hardest hitter in the
division.
Nor can Whitney be called a cham
pion, but he is* universally regarded
as one of the most reliable ringmen
that the 1 Id-pound class knows. He
has yet to feel a knock-out punch..
He has yet to he knocked down.
Both men have appeared before in
Atlanta rings. Two more popular
boxers have never been introduced to
an Atlanta audience. In White’s only
battle here he stopped Jake Abel, a
boy who Atlanta believed had the
earmarks of a coming- champion.
Abel had been beaten but once be
fore in an Atlanta fight and then
Frank Whitney shaded him in a 10-
round affair.
There have been shady battles ga
lore staged here in Atlanta, but when
ever Frank Whitney was scheduled to
box. the fans knew the bout was on
the level, and Charley White is too
near the championship for him to
countenance even a suggestion of
crookedness.
* * *
T F White should stop Whitney in
I their affair to-night, his reputation
will be so enhanced that he will be a
drawing card of monumental propor
tions throughout the country, for
Whitney has fought successfully in
every town in the Middle West an 1
in New Orleans. If Whitney should
stop White, he will have proved what
he has contended all along, that he
has been underrated by the experts
and has a right to a high place among
the top-notchers. ^ ^
C ONSIDER the records of the ra#n.
White has met such men as Mor-
rie Bloom. Frankie Coaley. Abe AH -
tell. Joe Mandot, Danny Webster.
F.oyo Driscoll. Johnny Kilbane* Tom-
my Dixon. Johnny Dundee, Owen
Moran. Young Shuerue, Pal Moore, Ad
Wolgast and Joe Thomas. With the
jingle exception of the Danny Web
ster battle his .record is clean. He
WHAT WHITE AND WHITNEY SAY
By CHARLEY WHITE
I am confident of stopping Whitney. Of course, should he cover up
and run I will have a hard time getting over a decisive punch. But they
tell me that he is a great mixer, //el if he will only swap with me I’il
guarantee to stop him in about five rounds. I am better to-day than I
was the night I stopped Jake Abel here.
By FRANK WHITNEY
If White thinks he is going to stop me he has another guess coming.
He is NOT going to knock me out. In fact, I am confident that I will win
the decision. I am hitting better now than ever in my life. I am sore
over some loose talk that White's manager, Nate Lewis, pulled in Chi
cago. and I am going to square accounts with Mr. Lewis by giving his
bey the finest lacing ever handed out in a ring.

White will probably weigh about

his ability to make the weight. When

I at the Atlanta Athletic Flub, ho
weighed exactly 133 1-2 pounds and
he says he will be at this poundage
this afternoon. Whitney l?a«i not had
to dry out and is sure to be at top
strength when he enters the ring.
White, after strenuous work with
sparring partners in Chicago, went in

his training in the mountain air of
that section.

DUT th< Wh^te-Whitney battle will
not be the only affair to rouse the
enthusiasm of the fans. As a cur-

Mike Saul and Terry Nelson. Saul
was to have met Eddie Hanlon, the
promising Atlanta welterweight, in a
ten-round affair, but in training, Han
lon had a gash opened on his chin
and blood poisoning set in. Yester
day his doctor refused to allow him to
go on and a substitute bout was ar
ranged.
Saul and Nelson boxed tc a draw at
their last meeting and they gave the
crowd a run for their money. Their
next meeting is sure to be a whirl

earnestly to regain his laurels and has
put in some hard licks. He is confi
dent that he will halt Lee this time,
but Lee is just as confident that he
will win.

SPARTA COWES BACK AND
DEFEATS EAST POINT CLUB
I OS ANGELES. Aug. 13.—Jack
White of Chicago, brother of
Charley, proved no match for
Johnny' Dundee of New York, and
after going a short distan e into the
ninth round, fell to the floor from
two stout rights to the chii* a beat
en lad.
Weary of mind and body, worn
from the ewenty-odd minutes of high
tension of slugging, White came out
for the ninth. A couple of harmless
exchanges and Dundee sent home a
straight from the shoulder right to
the chin. White’s he^td sank low on
his chest and his knees teetered un
der him.
He half turned around in a blind,
staggering way and Dundee repeated
with the i-ame jolt, sending Jack flat
to the canvas.

Now that the Crackers’ hatting eyes

T>EFORE letting go tie Binning-'

fact ihai Carl Thompson, who ouldn't
win for losing while with tin Barons. I
is going to get the last crack at iii.s I
ex-pals on their own lot this year.
It sticks in our memory that Bert I
Maxwt 11 never lost a game against 1
Atlanta after he went from the (’rack- !
era to the Pelicans. If he did, it was j
entirely an oversight. Pitchers noto- j
riously are strong against clubs they
once have played with. This is ex- ,
plained by two things—they work
harder against them for one, and they j
are excessively familiar with their |
batting characteristics for another.
Now it is up to Carl to bear out i
these pleasant arguments.

W HILE passing around the boquets |
quets, let’s not forget that Har- j
ry Holland, who was off on the wrong *
foot in his five games played here,
has been batting crescendo ever since j

J ERSEY CITY. N. J.. Aug. 13.—
Toronto’s fall< n champions and
Jersey City’s unhappy tail enders
made baseball history at West Side
Park of this city by playing what
proved the most remarkable game
of all time. These International
League clubs went 20 innings to a
scoreless tie, the darkness halting the
pastime.
The game proved a world’s record,
for previously the longest scoreless
battle was one played at Oakland,
Cal., on August 6, 1910, of eighteen
innings duration.
Hcarne, the Toronto pitcher, has
the distinction of the.world's cham
pion for number of scoreless innings
in a single battle. He worked the en
tire twenty innings against the
Fkeeters, and what is even more re
markable, allowed Jersey City only
seven scattered hits.
Brandon, formerly of the Pirates,
who was a rival of "Rube” Mar-
guard in the American Association,
was sent to the rescue of Thomp
son in the fourteenth inning after
a pinch hitter had batted for the
twirier who started the duel against
Hearne.
Toronto got eight hits.
