With 40 Per Cent Privilege
for No-Decision Contest Here,
ATE LEWIE, manager of Char
e White, has named his terms
for a White-Whitney bout. Yes,
Nate avers that Charile is willing to
box Frank, and all that, but the Chi
oago fight manager might just as well
get it settied in his mind that he isn't |
soing to hold up the Atlanta boxing |
public now or any other time with his |
outrageous demands |
Atlanta boxing fans have been !n,.:‘
and will support any topnotcher who
comes here for the express purpose of
giving local fistic followers a run for
their money. The writer has always
been a strong backer of White's, but
his present demands have turned
yours truly cold against the Chlicago
an, as any boxer who asks and ex
pects te battie under the conditions
that White wants to meet Whitney
s anything but a credit to the
game of hit and get away.
- - »
ACTI.\’G for Frank Whitney, I sent
White an offer to box Whitney
here during the first week in Febru
ary, the winner to get Welsh at a
Inter date. The terms offered White
for the Whitney match was an 500
suarantee and 30 per cent privilege to
g 0 ten rounds to a decision, with an
Atanta man to act as the third man
in the ring.
. - -
Y!ZSTEI!DAV the following answer
was received to the wire sent
Nate Lewis, manager of White
Harry Lewis,
“0"'!"\. Editor Atlanta Geor
an:
W:iu can box Whitney early in
February if Frank will make 135
ringside or 134 at 6 o'clock. The
lowest guarantee White boxes for
is l‘-SJ. but we will show in At
lanta for a SI,OOO "u.nntu. with
2 privilege of 40 PER CENT of
the gross receipts. The bout must
be ten rounds, NO DECISION.
Can not make terms any lower, as
White can fi.l all engagements for
$1.500 or more. Answer at once.
NATE LEWIS, |
Manager of White.
¥¥ N |
THE above wire was turned over to
Frank Whitney, who was quick to
shoot back his reply, telling Messrs,
Lewis and White that Atlanta did
not care to entertain any hoxers un
der the demands that White was will
ing to show under. And Whitney
acted wisely. |
- - - \
IT has always been my opinion that '
no boxer. unless he be a cham
pion, is worth one nickel more than
he will draw. Wolgast did not re
ceive a guarantes when he came here.
True, Welsh was guaranteed when he
boxed Whitney, and he also received
a biz percentage privilege, but Fred
die is the chamnion, and his terms at
least gave Frank a chance to make a
little money. |
S -h:» |
Bl'T White is no champion, and he |
or no other boxer who cames here
1s worth more than a percentage of
fer. This is the stand Frank Whit
ney has taken, and he should be up
held by every true lover of the sport
in this city and throughout this =sec
tion of the country. Charlie White
s n great fighter, but if he is demand
ing such terms now, then what In the
world wil! he ask if he should ever
win the title?
. - -
ATLANTA has proved that this city
will support clean boxing matches
hetween evenly matched boys, provid
ed the houts are staged in the proper
manner, During the last two years
the game has been regulated on a
high plane, and every boy who “has
shown here has been paid well for his
services, despite the fact that most of
the boys have fought on a percentage
basis. with no guarantee.
K. O. Brown, the Chicago middle
weight: Leo Houck. the Eastern 158-
pounder; Jimmy Pappas, Kld4 Her
man, K. O. Bggers, bantams; Ad Wol
gast, lightwelght; Frank Whitney,
Jake Abel. Eddie Hanlon, Yank
O'Brien and the lightwelight cham
pion, Freddie Welsh, are some of the
bovs who have shown here, and every
one of them is anxious to come back
to display his fistlc wares again. So
why worry about White?
* - -
NATE LEWIS also states in his wire
that he wants the bhout to be 2
no-decision affair. If this stand is
not uvnsportsmanlike. then what is?
Decisions are allowed in (Georgia, and
the rendering of verdicts at the close
of bouts is a life-saver to the game
here, ag it forces the tonnotchers who
show in this ecitv to step lively and
put np a real scrap instead of the
“ctalling” contests that are seen SO
mueh in the TMast, Tt lonks very much
as if Nate Lewis and his protege are
Jooking for some easv monev. and
thev would no doubt like to pick At
lawta as the soft svot. Tln this thev
wll have a hard time succeeding.
- - -
T White ever hoxes in Atlanta, he
L chould he made to battle under the
came conditione that other -leading
elove-wielders fight Indef here and if
he daesn't care to box under these
conditione, then local fistic nromoters
ahanla tall him tn @ alsewhere. 'Nuf

'Never Call a Man a ‘Quitter’ in Golt
\ f(,l IAMPION TRAVERS '\N NEW ANGLE »
GreatestPlayersin WorldHaveHadUpsets
By Jerome D. Travers,
Open Champion and Four Times Win.
ner of the Amateur Golf Title,
VO examples were offered in
I my last article by way of
encouragement to Mr.
Smith, duffer at large. For 1 can
tell him truthfully that no golfer
ever lived who was not harassed
at one time or another by &
nervous upset that wrecked his
game. It is simple enough to call
a man & quitter. But that ex
pression would never be used if
it had come from a man who had
never lost his nerve or control of
his nerves in his life,
There are no exceptions to this
statement. And by all odds the
most interesting study of golf
is the study of golf nerves and
golf temperament as applied to
individual cases.
In the first place, just what is
golf temperament? Is it power
of concentration? Is it mainly a
lack of nerves, or a control of
nerves, or possession of nerve?
1 have seen some of the nerviest
men 1 have ever known miss
short putts in tight matches
through sheer nervousness.
But there must be some ingre
dient here that decides the bat
tle where two golfers of equal
skill meet, and one is always the
winner through a greater steadi
ness against the test. The best
temperament has been called the
“wooden temperament,” wlich
means lack of nerves. This may
be true, but who Is possessor of
this so-called “wooden tempera
ment,” save at rare intervals?
. . -
I N my own case I am supposed
to have very few nerves at
work, to have nothing but ice in
*my veins when at play. On the
contrary, 1 am often highly ner
vous and have made some of my
best shots when my nerves seem
ed to be jumping sideways. That
day against Palmer I could not
have made a three-foot putt if
the hole had been twice as large.
Yet in other tournaments I have
gone in feeling nervous and have
managed to keep myself well In
check, which means that 1 man
aged to keep my eye on the ball
and to keep control of my tim
ing.
The same is supposed to be
true of Walter J. Travie. Tt is
the general opinion that he hasn't
a nerve in his body, that nothing
upsets him., He has played in
more tournaments than any
othrer golfers in America, but for
all that, Travis is full of nerves.
It is only by wonderful powers
of concentration that he Kkeeps
these nerves in check. And he
turns the trick lr: th.il faghion:
.
I:\7 playing a friendly match,
with _ absolutely nothing at
stake, Travis plays as grimly as
if the championship of the world
depended upon each shot. He
schools himself to concentration
day after day, and year after
vear, and xo, when he enters a
~ tournament. he is trained in nerve
control, But there are occasions
recorded when his nerves, even
under all this schooling, broke
away from his grip and left him
as helpless against the test as
others known to be nervous.
| One of the most: quadrangular
. cases of nerve tests or tempera
ment tests, might be shown in
the rivalries of four great Eng
lish golfers—Hilton, Harris, Ball
and the late Freddie Tait. Har
ris is a great golfer, yet he could
never nlay his best against Hil
ton. who beat him repeatedly.
Hilton is one of the greatest of
all amateurs, yet he always
fsund both Tait and Ball, almost
impossible to beat.
Tait could beat Hilton, but he
could rarely beal Bail. When
Hilton went against Harris he
played with supreme confidence,
‘W win, and always
won. he played against
Ball, although a much better
player than Ball is > was, he
generally came in beaten. Why?
He could never explain it. He
o:ldy felt that he could heat one
a that he could not beat the
other.
» - .
TO my mind, if there was ever
a man in golf possessed of
so-galled iron nerve, or lack of
nerves, it was John Ball, eight
times amateur champion of Great
Britain. He was as stolid as a
rock at all times. Apparently a
tournament means nothing to
him. It has been recorded how,
on one occasion, just before a
final round for the British cham
pionship was to be started, he
was found working in his garden,
with no thought of goif In his
head, and he only came away to
play his match with great reluc
tance,
Yet | saw even the iron
hearted Ball show the effect of a
nervous upset. In the British

stated that the number of men in that \nf» who would be a lu he

Joe Tinker, of the Cubs, and Flelder Jones, of the Browns, have |

If they go to the Glants, there are only a few of them who could

them who can be rated better in their reshective positions than the [
now occupying those positions. Benny Kauff is one. Beuny can
center fleld, and assuming that he can show in organized baseball
like the ability he displayed with the Feds, he would be of
value.
Rousch is anothe: ex-Fed who is said to belong to this Mr.
collection. Lee Magee Is another. Bill Rariden, a catcher, formerly of the
Braves, is still another. Now Rousch was once examined by a Glant scout

Dayy Robertson, .nnung.nm Kauff could make good in center, and as
both George and Davy have their futures before them, they would mot
easily be displaced.
About Lee Magee.
Lee Magee plays the outfield better than he does the infleld, but he
plays both positions with considerable ability. Now, if Lee intends keap
fnug up the pace he established with the Feds, he could grad a job in either
the outfield or the infield from almost any man in baseball, but if he is
going 1o fall back to his original baseball form, he will create no great
furore
i On that form and on his infleld play generally, he could not displace
{ Doyle, leader of his league in hitting last season, nor could he win a situa
| tion away from Burns or Robertson. On that form he would help a lot of
lother clubs, but not the Glants.
| As for Bill Rariden, accounted one of the star backstops of the Feds,
| Willam would have to continue the work that made him great in that
