THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,WEDNESDAY

Football's Finish Brings Baseball to Life

YALE STAR IN ACTION I NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
The East Lake property of the Atlanta Athletic Club is not
going to have the great popularity it deserves until the Georgia
Electric and Railway Co. gives some sort of service to and from
. that point. Just at present they have an incipient, would-be,
near-service which would make a bishop cuss and an ordinary
mortal weep.
Barring the not-irifrequent occasions when the “junction
car” jumps the track or rattles itself to pieces there is a reason
ably regular schedule between East Lake and Atlanta.
But any live^ walker could leave East Lake when the car
does and beat it to Atlanta by ten blocks.
IIow each car manages to consume 45 minutes between
East Lake and Atlanta only the motormen and the long suffering
patrons understand. • But they do it every trip, whether they
need the time or not. They hare procrastination reduced to an
exact science.
It is reported among Athletic Club members now and then
that the street car company has promised a bettfer service.
• Far be it from any of us to ask them to hurry, but:
That East Lake schedule is one example of what the public
gets under the present ownership of the traction lines and one
so-far unanswered argument in favor of municipal or any other
ownership but the present one.

CHARLESTON FOOTBALL AGGRE
GATION WILL BE ONE OF
BEST EVER.
New Orleans, Lot., Dec. 5.—New Or
leans Is Just now enjoying one of the
greatest seasons of winter racing ever
known In this country, dun principally
to the fact of scores and scores of own
ers who used to race In California having
refrained from taking the risk attend
ant on going out there while turf mat
ters are In such an unsettled condition.
It appears tho life of Ascot park, at
Los Angeles, Cal., Is all but expired.
The reformera have been after the
pretty course for two years now, with
the result that a 30-day meeting, In
stead of the originally arranged 90-day
term, was announced some time ago.
Later the Los Angeles management
declared racing would go on for the
full 90 days. In the meantime, while
fretting and stewing over the prospect,
many nn owner who. had Intended go
ing to Ascot park decided to take some
thing surer and nearer home, so New
Orleans was selected as the wintering
spot.
The earthquake upheaval -it Son
Frnnclxco also drew an army of pro
fessional race followers to New Or
leans.
Down In the old Creole metropolis,
the town Is Jammed full of racing and
sporting people, while some of the best
racing ever enjoyed In the South Is
being seen every day.
Undoubtedly. New Orleaps Is the spot
to go to for a winter sporting vacntlon.
This year the "lid" has been lifted,
according to report, with the result
thut the old-time faro clubs are run
ning every night and the cocking mains
at Southport, La., are to be revived in
January.
Tho only Sunday race track In Amer
ica—over at Suburban park, across
from the city—Is In full operation—
while corking good boxing bouts arc
being served to the army of sports once
u week. With thirteen theaters, the
French opera, the best restaurants In
I ho world, a mid-winter baseball league
und two raco tracks. New Orleans has
just about displaced San Francisco as
the promler "night town" and Amerlca'a
sporting paradise.
This Is the Southern city's banner
winter and no mistake.

FOOTBALL AUTHORITIES AT YALE
FAVOR FEW CHANGES IN RULES
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 5.—Frank Butterxvorth, Yala’s old (oolball
player and coach, yesterday came out emphatically against further foot
ball change*, exftpt possibly ordering seven men to stay In the ruth
line. He said:
"It Is to be hoped that no further changes will be made in the
rule* for several year*, unles* It should be to require seven men in the
line and four back of It.
"A* to danger, that will be lessened through the replacing of a
normal desire to play one's best, for the intense effort to win."
Walter Camp, Yale'* athletic advisor, yesterday atarted from a week's
trip to Philadelphia, where he conferred with prominent football of
ficial* and *aw the closing game* of the season. He said that no move
had been made to call a meeting of the rules committee. He Knew of

In making few change* in the rules, und Is convinced that tho public
Is pleased with the game a* it Htands.
