FRIDAY, SKEPTEMBER 15, 1910,
Managers of the Three Leading Clubs Size Up 1916 National LLeague Pennant Race
Easterner Pleads for Another Crack
. ' .
at ‘Fighting Carpenter’ in Local
. ) .
Ring—Other Boxing Gossip.
By Harry Lewis.
RANKIE CALLAHAN, the crack
F Gotham lightweight, who fought
a slashing ten-round draw with
Frank Whitney here on Labor Day
night, is peeved.
Callahan, through his manager, Dan
McKetrick, sends a lengthy letter in
which he states that he wants another
crack at Whitney, so that he can show
the “Fighting Carpenter’s” friends
that he is Whitney’s master when it
comes to swinging the padded mitts.
The Easterner is also of the opinion
that he shaded Whitney in their re
cent canto, but he is willing to let the
question as to which is the better boy
be decided in another meeting be
tween the pair.
Callhan was going great guns until
he clashed with Whitney here, and
the Easterner considers the draw with
Whitney pretty much of a setback to
his pugllistic aspirations. Callahan
had his mind set on a Welsh madtch,
but he feels that he will have to take
Whitney to a lacing before he can
get a bout with the champion.
Just why Callahan should feel hurt
over the draw verdict with Whitney
is beyond us. Callahan simply clashed
with Frank when the latter was en
joying one of his good nights, and we
all know that Whitney is a mighty
hard customer to conquer when he is
at his best. Such boys as Ad Wol
gast, Joe Mandot, Frankie Russell,
Charlie White and Freddie Welsh will
agree with us here,
- - -
H()\\'EVER. we admire Callahan's
sportsmanship in agreeing to
come here to meet Whitney again.
The bout would no doubt draw big,
as their former scrap was one of the
best battles ever staged around these
parts.
Callahan also states that he fought
Whitney at a time that he was crowd-
Ing several fights together, with the
result that he claims he was not at
his best when he encountered Frank.
He promises to enter the ring at his
top fighting speed should he get on
with the local favorite once more, and
all he asks now is the chance to
show again with Mr. Whitney be
fore an Atlanta boxing gathering.

J”H!\' ALEX, the Ilocal GQGreek
Sportsman, brings us the news
that Jimmy Pappas, the popular
Greek glove wielder, is seriously
thinking of taking a trip to England.
“Jeems” wants to get a crack at Jim
my Wilder, the flyweight champion of
England, the match to decide the
world's title in that division.
Pappas is the legitimate claimant
of the honor on this side. He is by
far the best boy of his weight we
know of in this country, and in his
bouts against Pete Herman, Pal
Moore and Johnny Ertle he proved
that he is good enough to give the
crack bantams a tough battle, too.
Jimmy would like to get on with
Ertle here, according to Alex, and he
is willing to take the bout on most
any conditions to land the scrap.
Pappas thinks Ertle is one boy he
can whip, as he fought Johnny in St,
Louis early in the spring and has a
pretty fair line on Ertle's fighting
style.
Should Papas fail to land the Ertle
match the chances are he will con
tinue negotiations with promoters in
England for the Wilde match. The
latter is a big card there, and a bout
between the pair would no doubt draw
a 4 great crowd,

Former Cracker Hurler Blanksl
Scrappy Braves, 2 to 0, at Bos
ton—Jim Archer Splits Finger.
OSTON, Sept. 15.—Scott Perry,
B former pitcher for the Atlanta
Southern League team, gave‘
an exhibition of what a real Southern |
League hurler can do, when he let
down the scrappy Braves, 2 to 0, in
an exociting eleven-inning game. :
The Braves tried all their famous
tactics in an effort to get the big
right-hander to blow, but the Cub
pitcher held his ground wonderfully
well until his teammates came to his
rescue by pounding out two runs in
the eleventh session.
Sajer started the Chicago rally by
smashing out a single. He stole sec
ond. Willlams drew a free ticket to
first, and then Knabe was purposely
passed, filling the bases. Wortham,
the next Cub up, drove out a clean
hit, scoring two runs and winning the
game.
Jimmy Archer, also a former At
lanta catcher, was back of the bat
when Perry took the mound. He was
forced to quit in the fifth inning,
however, when he split his finger aft
er being hit on the hand by a foul
tip.
Pat Ragon opposed Perry on the
slab. Both pitchers gave up eight
hits, while the Cubs chalked up one
error. Perry walked one and fanned
one. Ragon gave six men free trans
portation to first and fanned nine.

After Warning from
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Honus
Wagner, of the Pirates, took it upon
himself to give a Brooklyn fan a ver
bal beating during the Pirates-Dodg
ers game yesterday. The fan, who
has occupled a box near the Pitts
burgers’ bench since the series be
gan, grasped every opportunity to
‘heap abusive language upon the “Fly.
ing Dutchman.” Wagner ignored the
‘{un's conduct until the fifth inning
yesterday, when the fan again cut
loose as Wagner was walking to the
plate,
When Wagner fanned, he walked
over to the fan's box and gently but
very firmly cautioned him to remain
absolutely silent. And the fan did.

LB ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
REMEMBER
QL‘A. CWHEN—
ALTER KING and T were partners in a handball tourna
\x/ ' ment and Nat Thornton and Howard Arnold drew us in
the first round of doubles and everybody (ineluding How
ard and Nat) were figuring on whom they would meet next.
That was along in 1908 or 1909. Handball was at the top of
the wheel in the Athletic Club then, and Nat and Howard were
rated the best of the bunch in doubles. I reckon they were, too.
Walter and I were fourth-raters. We Just paid our entry fee and
got in to get the experience that comes with a licking by the cham
pions. We looked soft and harmless, and everybody thought Nat
-and Howard were in for a praec
tice romp.
And they might easily have
been all that—if it hadn’t been
for Walter’s new shoes.
- - -
YOU see, Walter was always doing
unexpected things. He never
would train, for one thing. I was an
enthusiastic dub In those daks, trying
hard to better my game. | practiced
every time [ got a chance,
But Walter——well, Walter didn't
lose any sleep over what he called his
game.
Walter would show up for practice
about half an hour late, usually with
a 4 paper bag of bananas under one
arm. He used to eat about six ba
nanas while undressing and getting
into his gym clothes. 1 don't know‘
what he thought they would do for
him, but 1 was always expecting to
see him curl up like a Saratoga chip
along in the second game.
s 9
WELL. along came the night of our
big match, and I was there an
hour ahead of time, all excited and
worried, and wondering how badly
we would be licked, a 1 we could
possibly make a dece; ight. You
know how it Is, maybe—when you're
going up against the Real Thing, and
haven't got very much, and know it.
. - -
AND here came Walter, half an
hour late—with his paper sack
of bananas under one arm, and a
brand-new pair of shoes under the
other. His idea of preparing fér the
desperate combat was to eat six ba
nanas and put on a new pair of gym
shoes,
And the blamed things didn't even
have rubber soles!
Now, sparring shoes will do very
well on canvas, but they used the
g&ym floor for dancing, {ou see, and
Walter might just as well have had on
dancing rump- as new leather soles.
I simply couldn't get my opinion
into words before the match started.
- - -
l RECKON it was the funniest match
ever played on those courts—to
look at. Howard and Nat couldn’t
see it that way, because they were
too much mixed up in it. 1 couldn't
see it then, because I was too anxious
to make & showing. But the way I
recall it now, and by what the spec
tators have sald about it, that must
have been the funniest handball mateh
ever played anywhere,
- . -
WAI.'I'I:R was dead In earnest, for
once. He was all full of bananas
and ambition. And those new, slip
pery shoes! He skated about that
court like a calf on lce—but he was
making shots that no human hand
baller ever made before or since, so
far as 1 know. - And Willie Keeler and
Carleton Bmith and Joe Gregg will
tell you the same thing.
You mes, Walter couldn't possibly
set himself on those roller-skate
shoes, to get any welght in his
swings. And he had a way of snap
ing the ball on the return, anyway.
rwould serve, and Nat or Howard
ould rt it back, and Walter would
ko sliding back, yelling “Lemme have
IL" and then he'd skate around and
Just get his fingers on the ball, and
it would ‘fi slowly up to the board
and hit right at the floor and die
there, Say-—his returns were so slow
they didn't bounce back any more
4
than if that tennis ball had been a
ripe tomato!
. - -
A ND it wasn't long before Howard
and Nat were simply wild. They
couldn’t seem to dope out that slow
ball of Walter's. And his skating
around, part of the time on all-fours,
Seemed to worry them, too. Add to
this the fact that I ran into a good
Streak of service, just clipping the old
corner, and you may see how we ran
off a couple of games before Howard
and Nat could mobilize. They won
the third, but Walter got hold of a
banana he'd overlooked and ate it be
fore the fourth game, and did some
more figuré-eight skating, and Nat
and Howard began fussing at each
other and fighting the ball—and the
upshot of it all was that we won the
fourth game and the match
And there was nobody to Ny "1
told you so”—not a =oul.

AINESVILLE, Sept. 15.—Some
‘ ; 256 men of the Georgia football
squad have been at White Sul
phur Springs since Sunday. The
squad is due to leave early next week
for Athens to be present at the open
ing of college on Wednesday. 'The
purpose of the camp is to get the
men together and have them in con
dition for the hard games that come
early on the schedule,
Only four regulars from last sea
son's squad are expected back. The
loss of seven regulars of four years'
experience will be severely felt, es
pecially as there were numbered
among them such sterling players as
Paddock, Henderson, Thompson, Mc-
Connell, Garrard, Conyers and Pow
ell. Powell will return to college,
but the four-year rule will prevent
his engaging in intercollegiate
sports. Paddock and Henderson, in
accordance to the established custom
of having the captains return as
coaches, will assist in the coaching.
Captain Thrash and guard Gar
many, of last year's team, have re
ported to camp. Nevlllg, is helping
his old school at ClarksVille to get
started and will not report until the
latter part of the week. Dezendorf
is somewhere on the road, and, un
less he has lost his way, will be here
in a few days. The regulars ex
pected back are good players and are
sorely needed to hold the green squad

I'r would be extremely hazardous to
venture an opinion concerning the
prospect of a winning team, as the
gquad will be in the major part com
posed of new men who lack college
experience. When these men are sea
soned they will he a hard team to
beat, A good start will go a long
way toward having a succssful sea
son, but such teams as the Citadel,
Clemson and Florida do not permit
much experimenting. And imme
diately after the team runs up
against Virginia, Navy and Auburn.
So, summed up, the season’s prospect
shows four regulars, a hard schedule
and much of that old Gesrgia spirit.

hhree more star athletes from Chat- A
tanooga ‘perp” schools left for for

Revington and *“Alf” Mclsaacs, of
Central, and Charley Hurt, of City
High, boarded an Alabama Great
Southern train for the Alabama Poly

Donahue's squad last fall, but Rev- (e
ington and Melsaacs are brand-new '
additions to the ranks of the Plains
men. ; i
In Revington, Mclsaacs and Hurt, -
Mike Donahue has obtained from °
Chattanooga as choice a collection '
of football flesh as was annexed by
Alex Cunningham when he penudod;i
J. B. Carter, Mack Moore and Big-
Johnson to matriculate at Georgia. .
Revington is probably the greatest
line plunger that the local “prep”
schools have ever produced, Mclsaacs
ranke secon donly to J. B. Carter as
an all-round ground gainer last fall.
Although handicapped by a lack of
poundage, Hurt while at City High
was one of the most competent cen
ters in the business.
