CHARLIE WHITE
LACES WHITNEY
Gets Decision After 10 Rounds
of Battling in Atlanta
Arena.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug 14-Frankie
Whitney. The Fighting Carpenter
from Iowa, resembled a piece of raw
meat when he emerged from his ten
round "grudge" affair with Charlie
White of Chicago here last night On
the other hand, White appeared as
fresh and pink as a debutante, and
at that Whitney showed more class
against the Chicago lad than he did
with Joe Thomas, the New Orleans
Coffee Cooler" which speaks well
for White. r
frankie just managed to hold on
through ten rounds and he got the
worst lacing of his fighting career.
White weighed 129 when he reached
Atlanta from his training camp and
Whitney balanced the scales at 1872
at 6 o'clock.
Whitney covered in the opening
rounds to evade Whites left and from
the fifth to the tenth he hung on to
save himself from a knockout White
, used his left to jab Whitney's nose
back to his cheeks. In the eighth the
gong SOuuueu III Jiule 10 save VIM
ney from taking the count. In the
ninth Whitney complained to Referee
Castro that White had hit him low,
but as there was no serious damage
done Castro ordered the fighters to
continue. Whitney admitted after the
bout that he was fairly beaten and had
/ taken the worst lacing he ever stood
up under
There was no squabble about the
weight. Whitney got down to 1913 all
right Ps- looked as though the low
notch did not help him any.

ANDERSON WILL
DRIVE STUFF CAR
Pilots Plan to Start Practice
Early for Elgin Road
Races Aug. $3.50.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Robert f. May
pole, local agent for the Stutl Motor
Car company, yesterday entered a
Stut:;, to be driven by Gil Anderson
and 50. He will have one of the cars
built for the last 500 mile race at
Indianapolis.
The entry of Anderson will permit
a continuance of the warface between
the Stutz and Mercer companies. Both
have been contenders on speedway
track and road for several years and
the balance now favors the StutZ.
With Ralph De Palma and Spencer
Wishart handling MERGERS the battle
should be sensational, especially in
the light car race on the first day.
An attempt will be made to get Earl
Cooper, another Stutz driver, here for
the races. If Cooper should come
and win either of the two events he
undoubtedly would be selected at the
end of the season as the champion
road driver of the world. He already
has three victories to his credit this
| year. He won two events at Tacoma
and last Saturday was first in the
Santa Monica. Chairman c. G.. Sinsa-
/ baugh of the Automobile club contest
committee is making al effort to land
Cooper's entry.

coming races viii start practice earlier
than ever before in the history of the
classics. Harry Grant is expected to-
day with the Italian Isotta, while
Ralph De Palma and Spencer Wfshart
