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.

VI7ITH these two men matched. A 1 lanta fans should se~ as good an engagement as iy staged any w ,.tx\ in this broad land.

There is no doubt about his ability to make the weight. When he had finished his work yesterday afternoon, before an admiring throng 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 (iilbraith Springs. Tenn., to complete 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- go between those ancient enemies, 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 wind affair. • • • A NOTHER grudge battle will bo thar ‘ * 0 f Kid Young, the newsboy champion, and Charley Lee. The last time these boys met, Young lost on a foul when it seemed that Lee had hi.ii all but out. Young went to work 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. • * * A BANNER crowd will witness the event. Delegates to the South ern Merchants’ Convention will attend by hundreds, while the great nature of the card is sure to pack the house. Tickets can be purchased at Shep herd’s Segar Store, Pryor and Edge - wood, and at The Rex. RINGSIDE NEWS TIME, PLACE AND BOUTS FACTS CONCERNING CARD Place—Auditorium - Armory.

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.

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 leaving home.

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.
