S. Farnsworth. HARLEY WHITE is going t*t come mighty close to annexing the iightweight championship within the next year or eighteen months. There are only two obstacles In the way. One is that he will have to add about live pounds to his present weight. The other, chilled pedals on the part of Messrs. Ritchie, Cross, Wolgast, Murphy, Rivers, etc. If any one of the quintet had seen Charley in action against Frank Whitney at the Auditorium-Armory Wednesday night I doubt very much if the young Chicagoan would ever be furnished the opportunity of enter ing a ring at the same time said ring was decorated with their presence. Charles is a top-notch boxer, a hard and sure hitter, a wonderful judge of distance, a marvel at just escaping punches, either by side-step ping or blocking, and an expert in sizing up just what his opponent^ stock in trade amounts to. I have seen Cross, Murphy, Britton. Wolgast and all the other claimants of the title. Including the tltleholder himself, excepting Rivers, and White, in mv opinion, has it on them in all lines of the game that go toward mak ing a champion. • ■ • D ESPITE the respect I hold for the judgment of my fellow scribes, Dick Jemison, Julian Murphey and Fuzzy Woodruff. I can not agree with their opinions as to the outcome. Al! three of my pals agreed that White won. but none of them thought his victory was asi impressive as did yours truly. I thought White had every round in a walk, excepting the second and fourth. While I gave White the edge in thes«e two,’it was very close. The other eight were Charley’s by a mile, in my opinion. But the vanquished came in for a heap of credit. There isn’t another man of his weight who would have taken the beating that Frank did and still fight back. Just because a man takes a beating without flopping doesn’t show that he is stout-hearted. It fs the man who will fight back when he is being beaten that is really possessed of a stout heart. In the seventh round Whitney was given an unmerciful walloping. With legs sagging, head hobbling, glassy eyed. sick and weak, he never once thought of anything but fight. And the harder White smashed his tot tering frame and his clouded head, the harder did Whitney try to fight back. He is the gamest, grittiest, nerviest fighter in the game to-day. IJEARD an argument las»t night on * * Peachtree about the fight. One fan claimed it wasn’t a good one be cause there wasn’t a knock-out. Well, if that scrap wasn’t a good one then there never was a good one. Next to the Ketchel-O’Brien fight in New York about five years ago. it was the fastest young affair I have ever been fortunate enough to wit ness. The fact that there wasn’t a K.O. landed, like the one poor Jake Abel suffered in no time against White, doesn't show that the fight was slow. If anything, it points just the other way. White fought at top speed all the way. So did Whitney, but Frank has a wonderful defense and White was unable to land as he did on Abel, Thomas and the many others that he has floored for a “ten.” To get right down to facts, there is only one punch that Frank haf trouble blocking and that Is a straight left jab. And nobody was ever knocked out with a jab yet. It is a stinging punch that discourages and wears down a man. but it very sel dom topples him over. • * • W HITNEY and White are two grand little fellows. And both praised the other as soon as the scrap was over. Said White: “Whitney is the tough est, gamest fellow of his weight in the world. And, believe me, he can beat a lot of these fellows who are claiming a right to fight for the title.” Said Whitney: “White is a won derful fighter and has a grand chance of being champion some day. Jack Britton is the only boy I know of who might beat him.” All of which shows that Frank Whitney and Charley White are mighty high-class persons.

Calvo Looks Like Regular Player •I’t’l* •!«•-{* •!•#’!• 4* • *1* Some Notes on the Cuban Star RADER IS LET OUT. LINCOLN, NKBR. Aug. 15.—Pres ident Jones, of the Lincoln Western League Club, announced the acquisi tion of Inflelder Donald Rader, of the Chicago Americans. Rader was re cently purchased by Chicago from the Pendleton, Oreg.. club. G ENTLEMEN, meet Senor Jacinto Calvo, clear Habana, perfecto shape, rising 21, and some left- handed outfielder from Washington. When first visible to the admiring populace, our brand-new right fielder was engaged in batting practice under tne grandstand, th© universe having sprung a lea*k to the tune of bull frogs croaking in the marshes around second base. About six hundred damp but appreciative fans were looking over Senor Calvo with a steady cascade from the eaves of the smoker coasting down their spines. It was an heroic sight. • * * S ENOR CALVO still is a few chips shy on the United States lan guage, but he is popularly reputed to be death on a fly ball. And it gener ally is taken for granted that a 10- second clip on the old towpath more than makes up for a split infinitive. At that, Senor Jack’s conversation al powers are fully equal to the nar rative of his brief but entertaining career. He let it out somewhat as follows: Jacky is 20 years and a pair of months old. He was born in Havana and has an abiding dislike for Span iards. When a mere boy he used to put in days and days just hating our o. t., Butch Weyler. Jacky was started to school quite early and kept at it until he had a good education. Along about his six teenth year, however, his digestion or something—the Spanish of which is obscure—got out of whack and some body suggested that he let up on the school and take up some more out- dooiish pursuit. • • • T HAT spelled baseball with a large B for Jacky. who was a bear-cat on the town lots and would rather watch the Almandares team play ball than to hear “Cubanola” by a full orchestra of guitars. Jn fact, the youngster wasn’t long breaking into the most select company on the tight little island—the Alcpan- dares club, which boasts one of the . world’s greatest pitchers, Mendez. I The only thing that has kept Men dez outside the Big Top in the Land of the Free and the H. O. T. B. is the fact that he is a couple of shades too brunette even for a Cuban. Well, Jacinto showed speed on the bases and in the field, and more par ticularly did he wallop that old pill. And so—Jacky can’t explain just how this part of it happened—some scout or othe rgot a line on him and tipped off Clark Griffith, and pretty nearly the next thing the Little Per fecto knew he was in a large, w’hite city, with the streets running skewgee and everybody talking about some body named Walter Johnson. He played in twenty games for the Senators and then he busted an ankle. By the time the transportation facili ties were in shape again the Washing ton outfield was going along at top speed, and Jacky had to sit on a hard bench and swear in Spanish at Eddie Plank and other enemies of the Sena tors. • • • J ACKY says all the baseball talk on the field In Cuba is done in the American terms of the game, there being no exact Spanish equivalent for DONAHUE LEAVES FOR HOME. MOBILE, ALA., Aug. 15.—Catcher Donahue, of the Montgomery club, who has been out of condition on ac count of malarial fever, did not go ?o •Memphis with the team, but left last night for his home In Ohio to remain until next season. It is reported that Dobbs will get tjto new payers. maxfnt < y k r. of the most obstinate casus guaranteed in from 3 to 6 days ; no other treatment required. Sold by all drnggists. "foul tip,” “fair ball,” “threebagger,” or even “hit the dirt” and "take a lead.” When the Cuban teams are playing American clubs they use Spanish for coaching purposes, so their opponents won’t know* what is supposed to be coming off. When two Cuban teams are playing, the classic Castilian is employed mainly to tell the umpire what manner of burglar he is. That innovation might be recommended for use In this country, as Spanish is said to contain a number of highly explosive phrases and decorative ex pressions. • • • TN person, Calvo is a good-looking 1 little chap, 5 feet 6 in height, well set up, and desperately quick on his feet. He made an excellent impres sion in his first game with the Crack ers, getting a clean hit and showing a strong whip when he winged the ball in from deep right, attempting to get a runner from third. The hi? looked all the better in that the lit tle Cuban got it after being beaned by a foul tip from his own bat, from which he came back with an evident courage that won the crowd. Baseball runs in the Calvo family. Jacinto has seven brothers, two older and the rest younger, and they all play ball. Sports and Such THE EASE WITH WHICH "MuKssy" McQraw Is able to make a trade for any player he desires just now has nothing to do with the fact that all players used in the world’s series must be under contract before September 1, and that the National League doesn't want a world’# championship team in New York. • • • WE OBSERVE THAT A bantam weight boxer won a two-mtle run the other day, but then there were no White Hopes In against him. • * • OUT OF HIS LAST PURSE of $40,000 the inculcators of manli ness and fair play who had charge of Luther McCarty’s affairs an nounce that $26 remains, "all ex penses being paid.” This, gentle reader, is the reason that incul cating is such a popular business. • * • HARRY PAYNE WHITNEY’S race horses are being sold. If !s given out that the offic ial handicap ping makes it impossible for Trainer Rowe to Improve the breed as rapidly as he would like. • • * MUCH TROUBLE AND railroad travel Wbuld he saved if matters were 90 arranged that the Califor nia State championship carried with it all other tennis* titles. • • * SPEAKING OF MEXICO WE observe that In athletic games re cently long runs in full accounter- ments are growing popular among the citizen-soldiery. BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip The annual meeting of the American League will be held in Chicago in Oc tober instead of December, according to an announcement from Ban Johnson. • • • William H. Locke, president of the Phillies, who died yesterday at Vent- nor, N. J., will be buried in Pittsburg, his old home. • • • Double-headers were thick in the Na tional League. The Giants won both games with the Cardinals and the Phillies defeated the Reds twice. The Cubs paid the Boston Braves back in their own coin by drubbing them twice, thus breaking the deadlock with the Pirates. The Dodgers went flown to defeat before the Pirates. • • • First Baseman Konetchy of the Car dins Is nearly got three home runs. Two of his four-baggers were counted as such, but Umpire Quigley ruled that the third drive was a blocked ball and sent Konetchy back In spite of the pro tests of the Cardinals. The ball went Into the left field bleachers then bound ed out. 0*0 The Yankees began their Western trip by beating the White Sox right handily. The Red Sox shut out the St. Louis Browns, while the Athletics lost ground by being deefated by the Naps The Tigers celebrated their return to Navin field by walloping the Senators. 2:90 8:30 FORSYTH To-day KEITH VAUDEVILLE RALPH HENZ---WM.
