Easterner Ple. ;5 for Another Crack
at ‘Fighting Carpenter’ in Local
ng—~Other Boxing Cossip.
By Harry Lewis.
-« RANKIE CALILAHAN, thecrack
P Gotham lightweight, who fought
v slashing ten-round draw with
Frank Whitney here on Laber 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 1A 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
itween the pair,
Callahan was going great guns until |
he clashed with Whitney here, and
the Easterner considers the draw with
Whitney pretty much ofi: sethack to
his pugilistic aspiration 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
&el a bout with the champion.
Just why Callahan should feel hurt
over the draw verdict with Whitney
is beyond us. !'alla.hllgllmply clashed
with Frank when ths latter was en-
Joying one of his gooz‘ nights, and we
all know that Whitney is a mighty
hard customer to conquer when he is
at his best. Such bOyYs as Ad Wol
gast, Joe Mandot, Frankie Russell,
Charlle White and Freddie Welsh will
agree with us here,
o i - .. -
Howmvx-:n, we admire Callahan’s
Sportsmanship In agreeing to
eome here to mest Whitney again.
The bout would ne doubt draw big,
as their former scrap was one of the
best battles ever gtaged 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 w he was not at
his best when encountered Frank,
He promises to enter the ring at his
top fighting & should he get on
with the local favorite once more, and
all he asks W is the chance to
show again m Mr. Whitney be
fore an Atluth‘boxln( gathering.

- JOHN ALE the local QGreek
gl Sportsman, brings us the news
_Jimmy Pappas, the popular
L glove wielder, is seriously
. g of taking a trip to England.
Jee _Wwants to get a crack at Jim
m ” flywelght champion of
England, the match to decide the
world’s title in that division,
Pappas 18 the legitimate claimant
of the honor on this side. He is by |
far the : i Doy 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 *% ood enough to give the
crack bantams a tough battle, too.
Jimmy w d like to get on with
Ertle 0 According to Alex, and he
is willing t 0 take the bout on most
any cond@itions to land the scrap.
Pappas thi Ertle is one boy he
can &8 he fought Johnny in St.
Louis in the spring and has a
pretty fg line on Ertle's fighting
atyle. &
Should Papas fail to land the Ertle
match Jr ces are he will con
tinue nege ong with promoters in

latter ;&N‘ card there, and a bout
belweel the palr vould no doubt draw

el REMEMBER
e WHEN—
L {'.P:“ ‘ / i
ALTER KING and I were partners in a handball tourna-
O(/ 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 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 prac- (have been the funniest handball match
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. 1 practiced
every time I 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
4 paper bag of bananas under one
arm. He used to eat about six ba
nanas while undressing and getting
into his gym clothes. I 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.
- L -
WBLL. along came the night of our
big match, and T was there an
hour ahead 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 against the Real Thing, andi
haven't got very much, and know it
. . .
AND here came Walter, half la.nl
hour late—with his paper sack
of bananas under one arm, and a
brand-newgpair of shoes under the
other. Hlfildu of preparing for the
desperate Yombat was to eat six ba
nanas and put on a new pair of gym
shoes.
And the blamed things didn't even
have rubbergsoles!
Now, sparring shoes 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.
1 simply couldn't get my opinion
into words before the match started.
- . -
I 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 I was too anxious
to make a showing. But the way I
recall it now, and by what the spec
tators have said about it, that must

WALTER 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 I know. And Willle Keeler and
Carleton Smith and Joe Gregg will
tell you the same thing.
You see, Walter couldn’t possibly
set 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 return, anyway.
I would serve, and Nat or Howardl
would get it back, and Walter would
go sliding back, yelling “Lemme have
it,” and then he'd skate around and
just get his fingers on the ball, and
it would go 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
than if that tennis ball had been a
ripe tomato!
g. - -
AND 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 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
teld you so”—~not a soul.

ST. LOUITS, Sept. 15.—Derrill B. Pratt,
the big second baseman of the Browns,
has been engaged to coach the Wash
ington University freshman football
team. Pratt will assume charge of the
first year men as soon as the baseball
season ends.
In addition to coaching the freshmen
Pratt will also serve as an aid to Coach
Bill Edmunds of the varsity team. The
Browns' star will be available for the
la‘ter games of the Washington sched
ule.
As a student at the University of Ala
bama several years ago, Pratt ranked
as_one of the greatest halfbacks that
ever sunk his cleats into a gridiron.
lßesides being a daring, plunging, line
ripping back, he was quite a drop
kicker.

Ex-Giant Capt. Has
Praise for McG
In discussing his transfer to the Chi
cago Cubs, Larry Doyle, former captain
of the Giants, sald: “I don't blame Mec-
Graw for trading me to Chicago. It was
coming to me. I could not get going
when my hits were most needed. 1 pre
fer Chicago to any other place because
my home is in Illinois. 1 don’t forget I
was pretty raw back in 1908, and I re
member that on my first Western trip
I booted so many in one series in St.
Louis that we lost three games. I
wanted to quit and go back to Spring
field, but McGraw just laughed. He
told me not to worry, and to keep hus
tling. 1 4did, and 1 got by. T went as
far as I could for him, and now that [
can't go any further, I want to express
these sentiments and to wish the Giants
all the luck in the world.”

AINESVILLE, Sept. 15.——Somel
‘ ; 25 men of the Georgia footballi
squad have been at White S\*—*
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 Hendersen, in
accordance to the established custom
of having the captains return as
ccaches, 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, |

I’r would be extremely hazardous te

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

Clemson and Florida do not permit
much experimenting. And imme

So, summed up, the season’s prospect
