Chicago Boy Rules Favorite Over Fighting Carpenter From Cedar Rapids
WHITE BATTLES WHITNEY IN AUDITORIUM TO-NIGHT
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
V T THEN the gong clangs that sends
yy Chariey White, of Chicago,
against Frank Whitney, of
Cedar Rapids, in their 10-round
struggle at the Auditorium-Armory
td-night, Atlanta patrons of fistiana
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 the 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 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
A 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
Whitnev has fought successfully in
every town in the Middle West and
ill 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 men.
White has met such men as Mor
ris Bloom. Frankie Conley. Abe At-
tell Joe Mandot, Danny Webster,
Boyo Driscoll, Johnny Kilbane, Tom
my Dixon. Johnny Dundee Owen
Moran. Young Shuerue. Pal Moore Ad

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 I’ll
guarantee to stop him in about five rounds. I am better to-day than I
was the night ! 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 tall; 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.
was outpointed by Webster in twenty
rounds in a coast battle when he fir?»t
started.
And most of his victories have beer,
by knock-outs. Joe Thomas twice
felt the force of his sleep punch. The
great Owen Moran fell before it and
so did a half-score of others.
• • •
W HITNEY, though an older man.
I has been boxing a shorter time
than White. He went into the ring
game to earn a better living for his
invalid wife than he could with saw
and hammer. He took the glove busi
ness as a vacation, and he has tried
as hard to succeed in it as ever did
financier in conducting the big af
fairs of a great commercial firm.
Whitney has boxed Jerry Murphy.
Grover Hayes. Tommy O'Keefe. Bat
tling Nelson. Clarence English and
many other tough boys, and most of
his engagements have resulted in vie.
tories for him.
\17TTH these two men matched, At-
lanta fans should se~ as good an
engagement as is staged anywnere in
this broad land.
White will probably rule a favorite
His defeat of Abel has convinced At
lanta fans of his cleverness and hit
ting powers, but* Whitney will not
be without a horde of supporters
Whitney hi always coming in. an ex
cellent fighter at close range, a cool
and effective ring general, and a
capable man on the defensive
White will probably weigh about
128, while Whitney has agreed to
make 133 pounds at 6 o’clock this
afternoon. There is no doubt about
his ability to make the weight.’ When
he had 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 the White-Whitney battle will
not be the only affair to rouse the
enthusiasm of the fans. As a cur
tain-raiser, there will be a»gtx-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
crow’d a run for their money. Their
next meeting is sure te be a whirl
wind affair.
ANOTHER grudge battle will be th'ir
of Kid Young, the newsboy
champion, and Charley Lee. The last
time these boys met, Young lost on
a foul w’hen 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 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, w’hile 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.

SPARTA COMES BACK AND
DEFEATS EAST POINT CLUB
SPARTA, GA., Aug. 12.—After hav-
ing played a 12-inning tie yesterday
afternoon with the East Point club,
the locals clearly outplayed the visit
ors this afternoon in the presence of
the largest crowd of enthusiasts that
ever witnessed a ball game in Sparta
The final score was 8 to 2. The play
ing by- both teams was brilliant a. f
times but the locals clearly had the
class.
L 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
the 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.

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 r 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 the
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.
• • •
YT7HILE in a mood for general re-
vv joiclng, kindly note the benefi
cent arrangement by which the hap
less Gulls and Billikens have been
cutting each others’ goozles* while the
Barons were getting theirs.
*Goozle—Early English for wea-
sand.**
**Weasand—That part of the hu
man aqatomv most in danger dur
ing a sword-swallowing performance.
• • •
V\7 E note with mingled emotions* the
** addition of an operatic star lo
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 *«ing right field the rest of
the season, or as much of the period
as Holtz Is unable to warble near the
.300 mark.
But Holtz is holding on pretty well,
we notice.
• • •
AUR information is that Signor
Calvo is a Cuban and came from
Washington to this country. Clark
Griffith thought wel. 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 slugger, he will
debut at a happy juncture.
• • •
DEFORE letting go the Birming-
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 los' 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.
• • •
W HILE 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-
i
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.

T HREE Musketeers have been sent
A home to rest up for the ap
proaching struggle—Price, Dent and

ing and began the restihg process at

It is not understood that Gil Price
is home on suspension this trip, either.
• • •
TF the Frank trial continues being

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, 1910, 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
twirler who started the duel against
Hearne.
Toronto got eight hits.
