HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR TICKET FOR THE NEXT BIG REUNION? :: :: By Tad Chicago Boy Rule WHITE BAH s Favorite rLES WH Over Fighting Carpenter From ITNEY IN AUDITORS Cedar Rapids TO-NIGHT By Fuzzy Woodruff. T "T THEN the gong clangs that sends \\ Charley White, of Chicago, against Frank Whitney, of Cedar Rapids, in their 10-round struggle at the Auditorium-Armory to-night, Atlanta patrons of fls*tiana will have the opportunity of witness ing their 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 ^he most dangerous man in the lightweight division. Beyond doubt he 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 133-pound class knows. He has yet to feel a knock-out punch. He has yet to be knocked down. Both men have appeared before in Atlanta rings. Two more popular boxers have never been irtroduced 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. • • • I F White should stop Whitney in 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 and in New Orleans. If Whitney should stoo 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 men. White has met such men as Mor- rie Bloom. Frankie Conley. Abe At- tell, Joe Mandot. Danny Webber, Boyo Driscoll. Johnny Kilbane, Tom- mv Dixon. Johnny Dundee, Owen M. ran. Young Shuerue. Pal Moore, Ad Wolgast and Joe Thomas. With the <= ; ngk 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. Well, if he will only swap with me Pll 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 auess coming. He is NOT going to knock me out. In fact, 1 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 boy the finest lacing ever handed out in a ring.

There is no doubt about his ability to make the weight. When he ha-d finished his work yesterday afternoon, before an admiring throng at the Atlanta Athletic Club, he weighed exactly 133 1-2 pounds and he says he will be at this poundage this afternoon. Whitney has 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 to Gilbraith Springs. Tenn., to complete his training in the mountain air of that section. • • • OUT tho White-Whitney battle will not b<* ihe only affair to rouse the enthusiasm of the fans*. As a cur tain-raiser, there will be a six-round 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 to 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. thnr A NOTHER grudge battle will be ** of Kid Young, the new „ champion, and Charley Lee. The last time these boys met, Young lost on a foul when it seemed that Lee had hi.n 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 Le<* this time, but Lee is just as confident that ho 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 hou?*e. Tickets can be purchased at Shep herd’s Segar Store, Pryor and Edge- wood, and at The Rex. TIME, PLACE AND BOUTS FACTS CONCERNING CARD Place—Auditorium - Armory. Time—First bout at 8: 30 p. m. Main Bout—Frank Whitney vs. Charley White, ten rounds. First Bout—Mike Saul vs. Terry Nelson, six rounds. Semi-wind-up—Kid Young vs. Charley Lee, ten rounds. Referee—Lou Castro. Prices—$1.C0. $1.50, $2.00. To-night’s battle between Frank Whitney and Charley White threatens to be one of those old-fashioned grudge affairs. Neither boy has much love for the other and it wouid not surprise the writer to see the bout end long before the tenth round. • • • The Charley Lee-Kiri Young scrap should also be full of thrills. Ever since Lee won from Young on a foul in seven rounds the boys have been arch enemies. They are scheduled to go over the ten- round route. • • • Tom McCarey, the well-known Los Angeles tight promoter, is planning a welterweight tournament for the fall He intends to give the winner a cham pionship belt. At present, there is no champion in this class, and if Uncle Tom can only round up enough worthy candidates for the honors he’ll surely hold the carnival. • • • Boston fans are to see a real middle weight scrap on August 26. Frank Klaus and Jack Dillon will get together in a twelve-round engagement on this date, and the fur should certainly fly. Klaus defeated Dillon in San Francisco, the bout being a twenty-round affair, and Dillon squarely beat the Pittsburg champion in a ten-round mix-up at In dianapolis. • • • Terry Nelson has been substituted for Bridie Hanlon against Mike Saul. Han lon had his chin cut early in the w’eek and is now threatened with blood poison. Nelson, however, is in great shape and should give Mike a tough argument. • * * Three bouts are scheduled to take place to-night. Young Brown and Jim Coffey will clash in a ten-round tilt at New York, Tommy McFarland will take on Joe Azevedo in a twelve-round set to at West Oakland, Cal., while Frank Whitney and Charley White clash in the Auditorium-Armory • • • Jack Britton is another Chicago boy who will get into action to-morrow night. Frankie Burns is to be Jack’s opponent and the battle is to be staged at Denver, Colo. • • • Carl Morris is the champion lemon picker of the country Morris is to be sent against Fred I^achlan on Friday night and it Is a good bet that the lat ter has never taken part In a profes sional bout before. They are to mingle at Winnipeg, Man. • • * Joe Rivers and Leach Cross are to start light work to-day for their twenty- round mill at Los Angeles on I^abor Day. This bout means much to both boys, as the winner will probably meet Willie Ritchie, while the loser will have to seek a place among the lesser lights. 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 distance into the ninth round, fell to the floor from two stout rights to the chin, 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 tho chin White’s head 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 same Jolt, sending Jack flat to the canvas. HOUSE, SOX RECRUIT, HURLS NO-HIT BATTLE MUSCATINE, IOWA, Aur. 13.— Pitcher House, of the Kewanee CMub, whose sale to the White Sox was an nounced by Manager Richards, pitched a no-hlt game against the Muscatine club yesterday, winning 6 to 0.

Bv 0. B. Keeler. T RULY It has been sawed: “It’s a long worm that has no turning.” Now that the Crackers’ batting eyes have slanted back into something like focus, they don’t know where to leave off. The exhibition at Slagville yester day must have been positively im modest—from a Baronial viewpoint. But there is the Hon. Prough in tha offing. That probably will be where we get off. Even then, the Town Boys will have got better than an even break on the last road trip of 1913. • • • \17HILE in a mood for general ro- Jolclng. kindly note the benefi cent arrangement by which the hap less Gulls and Killlkens have been cutting each others' goozles* while the Barons were getting theirs. ♦Goozle—Early Ehigliyh for wea- sand.** **Weasand—That part of the hu man anatomy most in danger dur ing a sword-swallowing performance. • • • \X7E note with mingled emotions the addition of m op< ratio star to the Cracker troupe. Signor Calvo, who might reasonably be expected to take the leading role in Carmen, probably will be on hand to-day to Ming right field the rest of the season, or as much of the period as Holtz i3 unable to warble near the .300 mark. But Holtz is holding on pretty well, we notice. • .• • O UR Information is that Signor Calvo is a Cuban and came from Washington to this country. Clark Griffith thought well of him. but not quite well enough to bench Clyde Milan in his favor. Still,-*that oughtn’t be held against the new hand. Par ticularly if he is a olugger, he will debut at a happy Juncture. • • • DEFORS letting go the Blrming- ham situation we beg to note the fact that Carl Thompson, who couldn’t win for losing while with the Barons, is going to get the last crack at his ex-pals on their own lot this year. It sticks in our memory that Bert Maxwell never lost a game against Atlanta after he went from the Crack ers to the Pelicans. If he did, it was entirely an oversight.' Pitchers noto 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 are excessively familiar with their batting characteristics for another. Now it is up to Carl to bear out these pleasant arguments. • • • \1MIILE passing around the boquets * * quets, let’s not forget that Har ry Holland, who was off on the wrong foot in his five games played here, has been batting crescendo ever since leaving home. Harry has boosted his stick aver age to the .300 mark in spite of the big handicap of getting only one hit in the first five games. In Birming ham the Tech star has got five hits in two games, being charged with only six times at bat. The sixth time he reached first on an error and the other four appearances, when he did not hit, he got on by being walked or hit by a pitched ball. * That coincides with our Idea of a useful citizen. • • • THREE Musketeers have been sent 1 home to rest up for the ap proaching struggle—Price, Dent and Conzelman. They got here this morn ing and began the resting process at once by hitting the hay for a long snooze. It is not understood that Gil Price is home on suspension this trip, either. • • • TF the Frank trial continues being * tried for the next two weeks, as appears likely, either the ball park or Judge Roan’s courtroom is going to lose some patronage. Our guess is that it will be the c. r.

SAVANNAH. GA. J ERSEY CITY. N. J., Aug. 13.— Toronto’s fallen 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, i910, of eighteen innings duration. Hearne, 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 Skeeters, 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- quard 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.
