fi By Harry Lewis.
: RANKIE CALLAHAN, the crack
' Gotham lightweight, who fought
: a slashing ten-round draw with
| Frank Whitney here on Labor Day
night, 1s peeved.
. Callahan, through his manager, Dan
. McKetrick, sends a lengthy letter in
| which he states that he wants another
| erack 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 1n their re
cent canto, but he ig 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 untfl\
he clashed with Whitney here, and
the Easterner considers the qraw with
Whitney pretty much of a setback to
his pugilistic aspirations. Ca]lahan‘
had his mind set on a Welsh mateh,
p Dut he feels that he will have to take
. Whitney to a lacing before he can
get a bout with the champion.
i * Just why Callahan should feel hurt
'Eer the draw verdict with Whitney
38 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
@t his best. Such hoys as Ad Wol
@ast, Joe Mandot, Frankie Russell,
Charlie White and Freddie Welsh will
agree with us here.
- - -
HOWEVER, we admire Callahan's
E sportsmanship in agreeing to
. ¢Come here to meet Whitney again,
t The bout would no doubt draw big,
f 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 erowd
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
81l he asks now is the chance to
show again with Mr. Whitney be
‘fore an Atlanta boxing gathering,
. . -
OHN 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 legitipate claimant
.of the honor on this side. He is by
L 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 provedl
. that he is good enough to give the
- erack 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.
Louls 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
& great crowd,

'RA.\'DOLPH ROSE, the Southern

gold watch fob from members of the
' Atlanta Federation of Trades for his
Work as vice chairman of the Labor

voted the best ever pulled off in thel

ton—l Jim Archer Splits Finger.
OSTON, Sept. 15.—Scott Perry,
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-lnning game.,
The Braves tried all their famous
tgvticg 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 hy pounding out two runms in
the eleventh session.
Saier started the Chicago rally by
Ssmashing out a single. He stole sec
ond. Williams drew a free ticket to
first, and then Knabe was purposely
bassed, 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 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.

INI ATULANTA GEORGIAN.
¥ REMIMAER
ALTER KING and I were partners in a handballatouma
\X/ 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. T 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
Bl U - - -
and Howard were in for a prae
tice romp. e 2B
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 days, trying
hard to better my game, i practiced
every time I got a chance. p
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, uwnfiy 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.
- - -
WELL. along came the night of our
big match, and 1 was there an
hour agead of time, all excited and
worried, 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
going up againet 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 ldea 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 shoes will do very
well: on canvas, but they used the
gym floor for dancing, you see, and
Waiter might just as well have had on
dancing pumps as news leather soles,
1 simply couldn’'t get my opinion
into words before the match started,
d - -
IRECKON it was the funniest mateh
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. | couldn't
see it then, because I was too anxious
to make a showing. 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. |
-- . ‘
WALTER was dead In earnest, for
once. He was all full of bananas
and ambition. And thßse 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
st himself on those roller-skate
shoes, to get any weight in his
Swings. And he had a way of snap
ping the ball on the returm, u\y‘uy.*
I would serve, and Nat or Howard |
would get it back, and Walter would
g 0 sliding back, yelling “Lemme have
it and then he'd skate around and
fult get his fingers on the ball, and
t would 10 slowly up to the hoard
and hit right at the floor and die
there. Bay-—his returns were so slow
they didn't bounce back Any more
than if that tennis ball had been a
ripe tomato!
' 8. @
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 & 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 bnlf—and the
upshot of it all was that we won the
fourth game and the match.
And there was nobody to "y 3
told you so”—not a soul.

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
‘los- 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
ccaches, will assist in the coaching.
Captain Thrash and guard QGar
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 gieen squad
together, ‘
- . -
THE reserves send the following
players up to the varsity: Pew,
fullback; Reynolds, end; Hutchinson,
quarter; Landon, from Randolph-‘
Macon, who was ineligible last sea
son; Davis, quarterback; Coleman,
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; BElkins,
quarterback, from Bingham School;
Fergerson, from the Clarksvilla A,
and M. School, who is a very promis
ing backfield man; Carter, who star
red at the Baylor School, at Chatta
nooga, as a halfback; Moore, a good
man from the Chattanooga High
School; Frank Ferst, who comes with
lthe reputation of bheing the best half
back in Savannah; Alex. Davison,
last vear's captain of Riverside, and
Talmadge, from G. M, C,

IT would be extremely hazardous to
venture an opinion econcerning the
prospect of a winning team, as the
squad will be In the major part com-~
Iposed of new men who lack college
experience. When these men are sea
’mned they will be a hard team to
beat. A good start will go a long
way toward having a sucessful sea
‘-nn. but such teams as the Citadel,
Clemson and Florida do not permit
lmuoh experimenting. And imme
'dilately 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 Georgia spirit.

THXR vear's camp is making a big

by the men and the source of much
