*GEORGIAN SPORTS COVERID 4 EXPERTSS
Fasterner 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
Framk 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 Basterner 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.
Callahan 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 pugilistic aspirations. Callahan
‘had his mind set on a Welsh match,
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.
. - -
HOVV‘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
}hnst 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.

JOHN ALEX, the local Greek
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
J/Inow of in this country, and in his
“Lbuts against Pete Herman, Pal
Moore and Johnny Ertle he proved
that he is good enough to give the
crack bantams a tough battle, too.
Jiflm_\' would like to get on with
Ertledhere, according to Alex, and he
Isawilling to take the bout on most
ary 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
&tyle. .
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.
RANDOLPH ROSE, the Southern
sportsman, received a beautiful
gold watch fob from members of the
Atlanta Federation of Trades for his
Work as vice chairman of the Labor
Day amusement committee. The box
ing card which Mr. Rose staged wa#
Voted the best ever pulled off in the

Former Cracker Hurler Blanks
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 exciting 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 wonder€ully
well until his teammates came to his
rescue by pounding out two runs in
the eleventh session.
Saier 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. Wortman,
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 oppesed Perry on the
slab. Both pitchers gave up eight
hits, while the Cubs ehalked up one
error. Perry walked one and fanned
one. Ragon gave six men free trans
portation to first and fanned nine.

EilTo W
ALTER KING and T were partners in a handball touma-‘
W ment and Nat Thornton and Howard Arnold 'drew us in
the first round of doubles and everybody (including 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 1 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 prae
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. 1 was an
enthusiastic dub in those days, trying
hard to better my game. i practiced
every time I got a chance,
But Walter—well, Walter didn't
lose any sieep over what he called his
game.
Walter would show up for practice
about half an hour late, usually with
a 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 I was always expecting to
see him curl up like a Saratoga chip
along in the second game.
| ST
‘ WELL, along came the night of our
| big match, and 1 was there an
hour ahead of timé, all excited and
}Worrled. and wondering how badly
we would be licked, and if we could]
possibly make a decent fight. You
know how it is, maybe—when you're
Boing up against the Real Thing, and
haven't got very much, and know it.
v » . .
A.\’D here came Walter, half nn“
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 for 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 shoeés will do very
well on canvas, but they used the
gym floor for dancing, you see, and
Walter might just as well have had on
dancing pumps 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. I couldn't
see It then, because | was too anxious
to make a “howing. But the way |
recall it now, and by what the spec
tators have sald about it, that must
have been the funniest handball match
ever played anywhere.
A . .
WAL'I‘ER 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 Ice—but he was
making shots that no human hand
baller ever made before or since, so
far as | know. And Willie Keeler and
Carleton Smith and Joe Gregg will
tell you the same thing.
You see, Walter couldn’t possibly
#ot himself on those roller-skate
s#hoes, to get any welght In his
swings. And he had a way of snap
ping the ball on the return, anyway.
I would serve, and Nat or Howard
ww‘d f“ it back, and Walter would
g 0 sliding back, yelling “Lemme igve
IL” and then he'd skate around and
Just get his fingers on the ball, and
|l! would go slowly up to the board
and hit right at the floor and die
"there. Hay-—his returns were so slow
they didn't bounce back any more
than if that tennis ball had been a
ripe. tomato! ’
. L - - \
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 Hf the time on all-fours,
seemed to worry them, too. Add to
this the fact that T 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 figure-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 say “I
told you so"—not a soul.

pecially as there were numbered
among them such sterling players as
Paddock, Hepderson, 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, Neville 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
together,

THE reserves send the following
players up to the varsity: Pew,
fullback; Reynolds, end; Hutchinson,
quarter; ILandon, from Randolph-
Macon, who was ineligible last sea
son; Davis, quarterback; Colemnn,l
quarterback; Wingate, tackle; Petrie,
guard; Tate, end: Beasley, halfback:
Everett, guard; Rigdon, end or tac
kle; Carpenter, half; Parks, half.
The following new men have re
ported to camp: Jim Reynolds, the
star halfback from G. M. C.,, who is
expected to win a regular berth on
the squad his first season; FElkins,
quarterback, from Bingham School;
Fergerson, from the Clarksville A.
and M. School, who is a very promis
ing backfield man; Carter, who star
red at the Baylor School, at Chatta
nooga, ag a halfback; Moore, a good
man from the Chattanooga High
School; Frank Ferst, who comes with
the reputation of being the best half
back in Savannah; Alex. Davison,
last year's captain of Riverside, and
Talmadge, from G. M, C.

IT would be extremely hazardous to
venture an opinion concerning the
prospect of a winning team, as the
squad will. be In the major part com
posed of new men who lack college
experience. When these men are sea
soned they will be 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 vld Georgia spirit.

Preps Join Auburn
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Sept. 15.
Three more star athletes from Chat
tanooga ‘“prep” schools left for for
elgn football fields when “Harkey”
Revington and “Alf” Meclsaacs, of
Central, and Charley Hurt, of City
High, boarded an Alabama Great
Southern train for the Alabama Poly
technic Institute, better known as
Auburn. Hurt was a member of Mike
Donahue's squad last fall, but Rev
ington and Mclsaacs are brand-new
additions to the ranks of the Plains
men.
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 persuaded
J. B. Carter, Mack Moore and Big
Jolinson to matriculate at Georgla.
Revington is probably the greatest
line plunger that the local “prep”
schools have ever produced, Mclsaacs
ranked second only 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.
