I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,WEDNESDAY EMBER 5,1906. Football's Finish Brings Baseball to Life Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. - 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.

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. S|h-,IoI lo The Georgian.
