An eminent painter was once asked If he thought art sfudents did well to go fo Europe to study. He said that undoubtedly the atmosphere was more artistic. in Europe than anywhere else. but that Paris as city to study and work 4n was overrated
 To illustrate his meaning he said that a certain rich mans son after three years in Paris wrote home to his fa- Eher:

TRANK WHITNEY. the Fight
n ing Carpenter" has finally
landed match with Joe Man
dot. pride of New Orleans, in the
Pelican City. d. j. Tortorich closed
the match to-day, and the pair will
clash Saturday night in a scheduled
ten-round bout.
Although Frank has been forced to
take the scrap on at short notice. he
will be in good shape when he tackles
Mandot. Frank has been doing light
work at his home and Mandot will
have to be at his best to win.
Local promoters have already wired
Whitney and Mandot, offering the
winner a match in Atlanta with either
Charlie White. Freddie Welsh or Ad
Wolgast. Mandot has been anxious
to come to Atlanta for some time,
and this is a good chance for him 10
get a good bout here.
Whitney, however. does not intend
to let this Mandot boy get away with
him without putting up a stiff argu-
ment This bout will be a good test
for the French baker boy and the
fans will know Saturday night wheth-
er Joe is still good or gone back.

that he's even better than when he
was in his prime.
George Dixon and Joe Cans,

than sixteen years; George McFad-

fifteen years of service; Joe Choynski
batt1ed increasingly for sixteen years;

Joe Waleott saw fourteen years of

MELVIN SHEPARD. the middle

years, yet to-day seems as good as

William Larned has been playing

was shown by cap" Adrian Arson

did Young-truly remarkable records.
Yet, there are in active baseball to-

in the big leagues eighteen years and
looks good for several more at the

seventeen years and shows no real
signs of slipping" Jimmy Callahan,
of the White Sox, began his big
league career twenty years ago, and
still plays the game, but he dropped
out OF big league baseball for few
years, and so can't be counted as q
consistent performer in the exclusive
circle.
Tommy Leach, with the Cubs, be-
gins his eighteenth season this spring,
but Tommy is about through. Willie
Keller lasted nineteen years in the big
leagues: Hughey Jennings was an ac-
tive baseball man for sixteen: Bill
Sullivan lasted seventeen Harry Da-
Wis held out seventeen; Fred Clarke,
manager OF the Pirates, has been
connected with the game for twenty
years. but part OF this time he has
been bench manager. Johnny King,
after seventeen years. has announced
his permanent retirement.

BY Left Hook.

NLD POP TIME is a mighty for
I midable foe, but records show
that many athletes. in many
different divisions, have given him
some long and fierce tussles before
the referee finally counted them out,
while others, after nearly score OF
years in active service, are still wag-
ing q merry little battle against their
unbeatable enemy.
There is no division in athletics
that uses up a mans vitality so much,
none that makes a young man age so
fast, none that is so strenuous as
pugilism. 1t calls for everything
there is in a man every moment he is
in battle and practically every bat
tie robs him of little more of his
natural strength, and leaves him just
q little easier for Pop Time to con-
quer.
VET, here is Bob Fitzsimmons, now
/, nearing his fifty-second mile
stone, back in the ring again, and
showing much of the speed and the
ability that made champion. Bob
began fighting in 1891. yet few
nights back, just about 20 years after
his first entry in the ring, he snapped
punches with youthful and husky
white hope" and gave that white
hope" q very impressive beating
Then there's Jim Corbett another
ex- hampton, who defied Old Pop
Time for seventeen years, and quit
the fighting game, not so much be-
fore Pop forced him out of 1t, as to
avail himself of an opportunity to go
on the "stoige."
Kid Mccoy. who began fighting
soon after the fall of the Roman en-
pire, and who recessed in his efforts
a few years back, is in Paris now at
tempting a come back" despite the
fact that loving friends are trying to
lure him into the Old Mems Home.
Some months before going to that
gay European city. Mccoy coaxed
three alleged fighters into the ring in
the United States. and, according to
reports, disposed of the trio In 81 total
of eight rounds--allowing one to re-
main on his pedals three rounds, an
third party to the mat In less than
two minutes.
Battling Nelson, who began retiring
about six years ago, is still walking
around with his chin exposed, with a
terrible look in his lockers. and VOW
ing that he can wallop the best men
in his division, despite the fact that
he has been lighting for fourteen
years.
philadelphia Jack" O'Brien is an.
other gent who, after fifteen years OF
service in the ring, has decided that
old Pop Time hasn't conquered him

ing, and vows that soon he'll get a
match and show the world at large
