BEHAVE OR FACE
Windy City Lad Has Everything Needed to Annex the Title
CHARLEY WHITE LOOKS LIKE COMING CHAMP
By W. S. Farnsworth.
C HARLEY WHITE is going to
come mighty close to annexing
the lightweight 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 five pounds to his present
weight. Tho 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.
Charley 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 titleholder
himself, excepting Rivers, and White,
in my opinion, has it on them in all
lines of the game that go toward mak
ing a champion.
m • m
D ESPITE the respect I hold for the
judgment of my fellow s»cribes,
Dick Jemison, Julian Murphey and
Fuzzy Woodruff. I can not agree with
their opinions as to the outcome. All
three of my pals agreed that White
won. but none of them thought his
victory was as 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 the!“« 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 is 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-
eved. sick and w'oak, he never once
thought of anything but fight. And
the harder White . c imashed 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.
* * »
TLJEARD an argument lasit night on
1 A 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 lias
^rouble 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.

B OSTON, MASS.. Aug. 15.—Look
for the beat there is In the Cub
team all through this Eastern
invasion, and for that matter from
now on until the close of the season,
and also look for the Chicago Na
tionals to climb. There is quite a
gap between the Cubs and the Phil
lies, but Manager Evers says that
will not only be closed, but it will be
overrun, meaning that his organiza
tion will finish necond In the big race.
The word has been passed to the va
rious members of the Cubs that Evers
Is manager, will iemain manager and
that his word is law and must be
obeyed, even at the cost of a whole
sale shift.
Advised to Make Trade*.
More, the players have been given
the tip that President Murphy has
advised Evers to trade or sell anv
member of the team he thinks isn’t
doing his best, or who disregards
John’s orders, no matter who it might
be. and this has thrown the scare into
the boys. The recent shifting of
Reulbach, Richie and Overall has
showm that Murphv means business.
True, the three named had lost much
of their effectiveness to the team, but
there was more than Just that back
of the changes.
Evers Will Have Order.
'Til have discipline and order on
the team, even if I have to get rid of
the disturbers," was a recent state
ment of John’s, and he certainly has
taken the whip in hand. It is known
that John was a bit lenient with his
men and some took advantage by dis
regarding hi3 say.
Murphy in back of John in every
move he makes. The Cub boss is
pleased with the manager’s work and
says only those scribes who wish to
run his baseball club are finding fault
with John.

G KNTIjEMEN, 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
the grandstand, the universe having
sprung a leak 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 caves 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, i)ut 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. f., Butch Weyler.
Jacky was started to school quite
early and kept at it until he had a
good education. Along about bis 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-
doorish pursuit.
• • •
T HAT spelled baseball with a large
B for Jacky, who was a bear-cat
on the town lots and would rath* r
watch the Almandares team play ball
than to hear “Cubanola” by a full
orchestra of guitars.
In fact, the youngster wasn’t long
breaking into the most select company
on the tight little island—the Alman
dares club, which boasts one of the
world's greatest pitchers, Mendez.
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, white
city, with the streets running skew gee
and everybody talking about some
body named Walter Johnson.
He played in twenty games for the
Senators and then he busted an ankb.
By the time the transportation facili
ties were in shape again th? Washing
ton outfield was going along at top
speed, and Jacky had to sit on a hard
bench and swear in Spanish at Eddie
Blank and other enemies of the S* na-
tors.

TACKY says ail the baseball talk on
J the field in Crb-i is done in the
American term.* of the game, there
being no exact Spai Ish equivalent for
"foul tip,” "fair ball,” "threebagger,”
or even "hit the dirt” and "take a
lead.”
When the Cuban teams arc 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.
• • •
IN 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 hlB 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.
