The Real National Bird.

Many vain regrets have been ex.
pressed over the selection Of the eagle
in preference to the turkey as the ma
tional bird. If the matter could now
be put to a vote there is but little
doubt that the barnyard bird would
wear the crown. The finer feelings of
our forefathers may have revolted at
the idea of eating the bird Of freedom,
but the patriotism of the past was
made of different clay from that Of
the present practical patriotism. Eco
nomical principles at once suggest the
advisability of combining love Of coun-
trv and love of turkey

WANTS
To GET WOLGAST
INATLANTARING

FRANK WHITNEY, the fighting
carpenter from Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and one of the most pop
ular fighters that ever donend a pair
Of boxing gloves is now on the trail
of AID Wolgast, ex-lightweight cham
pion of the world
Frank has not done any boxing
since he met Charley White here a
couple of months ago and is simply
aching to get into action again. Whit
ney dropped us a few lines yesterday
from his home in Cedar Rapids and
stated that he is feeling better than
ever in his life.
THE Fighting Carpenter stopped
of in Chicago on his way home
from New York in an effort TO get a
return bout with Charley White, but
the latter will be busy for the next
six months. Whitney thinks that by
fighting as often as possible he will
be able to keep in great shape by
the time White meets him again, and
then Frank hopes to reverse the YER
dict.
White admits that Whitney gave
him the toughest scrap he has had in
some time and expects to see Frank
whip many of the tough 1873 Founders
in the game to-day Charley said,
after his fight with Whitney, that the
Cedar Rapids boy was the equal OF
Bat Nelson when It came to taking
punishment.
A BATTLE between Whitney and
a Wolgast would be one OF the
best bouts ever staged in Atlanta,
so let's hope some local promoter gets
busy and brings the boys together.

would also grab a chance to box down
