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. 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 Auditoriu,m-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 ray 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. All Constipation Needn’t Worry Old People Hot Springs, Arkansas, Fur- Dishes Hot Springs Liver Buttons, a Remedy that has j Proved a Boon to all Who < Are Bothered With Slug-' gish Liver and Inactive' Bowels. Great discoveries are expected from the world’s greatest sani tarium which always has attract ed the foremost medical minds of the country. But in offering through the re tail druggists of the country the newest formula for constipation, Hot Springs. Arkansas, has out done all previous efforts. Don’t take chances any longer with calomel or harsh, violent ca thartics of any kind. If your liver bothers you or you have constipation the best remedy you can take is HOT SPRING8 LIVER BUTTONS. Take one to night; you'll know to-morrow that at last you’ve found a perfect, blissful laxative. Take one every night if you want to drive away that blue feel ing. banish pimples and sallow skin and be free from bad breath, coated tongue and headache. 25 cents everywhere. f i For sample write Hot Springs ^Chemical Co., Hot Springs, Ark. three of my pals agreed that White won. but none of them thought his victory was as impressive as di1 yours truly. I thought White had every round in a walk, excepting the second and fourth. While I gave White the edge in these 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 bark. Just bec^us^ 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 iieart. 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 harier 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. * * * OEARD an argument last 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 warfn’t a good one then there never was a good one. Next to the Ketch el-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 has* 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 thepe fellows who are claiming a right to flgbt for the title." Said Whitney: “White is a won derful fighter and has a grand chance of being champiori 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. t L BASEBALL SUMMARY SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Friday.

B oston, mass., auz. 15.—Look for the best 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 second in the big race. The word has been passed to the va rious members of the Cubs that Evers is manager, will lemain manager and that his word is law and must be obeyed, even at the cost of a whole sale shift. Advised to Make Trades. More, the players have been given the tip that President Murphy has advised Evers to trade or sell any member of the team he thinks isn r 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 shown 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 is* back of John in every move he makes. The Cub boss is pleased with the manager’s work and .says only those scribes w ho wish to run his baseball club are finding fault with John. ' 7HE- VAMFP BOU&Hr A HOBBLE skibt A/DP -She walk.

G ENTLEMEN, meet Senor Jacinto Calvo, clear Habana, perfect© 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 iSenor 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 lie 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 his six teenth year, however, his digestion or I something—the Spanish of which is obscure—got out of whack and some body suggested that he let up on the J school and take up some more out- doorish pursuit. 0 9 0 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. In fact, the youngster wasn’t long breaking Into the most select company on the tight little Island—the Aiman- dares club, which l>oasts 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 be 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 (’lark Griffith, and pretty nearly the next thing the Little Per- fecto knew’ he was In a large, white 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 bunted 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 i being no exact Spanish equivalent for “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 corning 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. 0 0 0 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 his first game with the Crack ers, getting a clean hit and showing a strong whip when he winged the bull in front deep right, attempting to get a runner from third. The hii looked all the better in that the lit tle Cuban got it after being beaned bv a foul tip from his own bat, from which he came back with an evident courage that won the crowd. Baseball runs In the Cairo family. Jacinto has seven brothers, two older and the rest younger, and they all play ball. Sports and Such THE EASE WITH WHICH "Muggsy” McGraw 1s 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 w championship team in New York. * • • WE OBSERVE THAT A bantam weight boxer won a two-mile run the other day. but then there were no White Hopes in against him. • • • OUT OF HIS LAST PURSE of 340,000 the inculcators of manli ness and fair play who had charge of Luther Mc< ’arty's affairs an nounce that 326 remains, “all ex penses being paid."
