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-iufrequent 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 lively walker could leave East Lake when the car docs nnd beat it to Atlanta by ten blocks. , IIow eaclw car manages to consume 4.') minutes between East Lake and Atlanta only the motor-men and the long suffering patrons understand. But they do it every trip, whether they need the time or not. They have procrastination redneed to an exact science. It is reported among Athletic Club members now and then that the street car company has promised a better 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. Crescent City Wide Open Since Racing Season Began What’s Delaying You? YOU know you’ve got to get a * Suit, Overcoat or Raincoat. Why put it off until the inevitable rush ? The selection would be easy now, particularly so with the ample stocks, immense assortments, and popular prices. Why delay? Delays are danger ous, expensive, unnecessary. Ex treme cold weather is expeeded tomorrow. Be prepared. Neyv Orleans, La., Dec. B.—New Or leans Is Just now enjoying one of the seasons of winter racing ever In this country, dun principally the fact of scores and scores of own- who used to race In California having refrained from taking the risk attend ant on going out thero while turf mat ters are In such an unsettled condition. It appears the life of Ascot park, at Los Angeles, Cal., is all hut expired. The reformers have been after the pretty course for two years notv, with the result that a 30-day meeting, In stead of the originally arranged 90-day ierm, was announced somo time ago. Later the Los Angeles management declared racing would go on for the full 80 days. In tho meantime, while fretting and stewing over the prospect, many an owner wlm 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 San Francisco nlso 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 Orleans Is the spot to go to for a winter sporting vacation. This year the “lid" has been lifted, according to report, with the result that the old-time faro clubs are run ning every night and the cocking mains at Southport, Le., are to be revived In January. Tho only Sunday race track In Amer- lea—over at Suburban park, across from the city—Is In full operation— while corking geod boxlrg bouts arc being served to the army of sports once a week. With thirteen theaters, the French opera, the best restaurants In lho world, a mid-winter baseball league and two race tracks, New Orleans has Just about displaced San Francisco as tho premier “night town" and America's sporting paradise. This Is the Southern city's banner winter and no mistake. Special to The Georgian., Savannah, tin.. Dec. 5.—Football clr- vlee here arc agog over the statement to the. effect that on Christmas nnd New Year’s days there will come to 8n- vnmmh the most formidable football team ever gotten together In the South.

It Is stated that among those who will comprise the team will be Fur- tick. Derrick, Sadler and Forsythe, of Clemson; Shipp, of Sewanee; Dennett, of Virginia; Ketron, of Georgia; Sapp. Cheney.

FOOTBALL AUTHORITIES AT YALE FAVOR FEW CHANGES IN RULES New Haven, Conn., Dec. 5.—Frank Buttenvorth, Yale’* old football player and conch, yesterday came out emphatically against further foot ball change/*, except posslbly ordering seven men to stay In the rush line. He *akl: "It I* to he hoped that no further change* will be made In the rules for *everal year*, uni**** It should be to require seven men In the line and four back of It. "As to danger, that will l»e lessened through the replacing of a normal desire to play one** best, for the Intense effort to win." Walter Uapip, Yale’s athletic advisor, yesterday started from a week’* trip to Philadelphia, where ho conferred with prominent football of- ficialM nnd saw the cloning game* of the season. He said that no move hud been made to call a meeting of the rules committee. He Knew of no plnn to hold a general meeting at Harvard r-oon. Mr. Camp believes In making few changes in the rules, and la convinced that the public la pleased with the game ast it stands.

I Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 5.—The 1 Elm Ridge race track of Kansas City which waa closed os a result of the passing of an anti-pool sailing law, will probably reopen next spring because of a decision which has been banded down by the supreme court, holding that the anti-pool selling law docs not apply to races run In Kansas City when I lets arc registered by telephone In Kansas or another state. Governor Folk said today: "If an amendment Is necessary to cover the new scheme of the book maker to evade the law. It will be recommended by me to the next leg islature. Race track gambling Is dead In Missouri, and the bookmakers may as well realise that It cannot be resur rected bv the use of the telephone or any other device that a statute can be made to cover."

The world’s series brought back tho baseball fever to players who have tageen out of tho game for years. Men who In the press of business almost h/yl forgotten there was such a game a-» baseball, or that they evor had played It, suddenly were seised with the.old madness and became worse than a crowd of schoolboys. Etn Gross, the famous old Providence catcher, who, perhaps, was ono of tin* greutest hitters who ever swung a piece of second-growth ash against horse hide, suffered a relapse. Em only had seen one professional game since 1884, a few years after he quit baseball, and ho was lame on modern baseball. In the deciding game Em was In a box, two White Hox were on bases and two out. whefl Isbell slashed u tierce line drive over first. The ball curved, struck foul by a -few Inches and went Into the crowd. Strike two?" yelled, the umpire. What?" yelled Gro«s, who was on his feet yelling and swinging his hat. "Sit down, you Idiot," remarked hi* friend. "Don’t show your Ignorance." 'Was that a strike?" demanded Em. Yes." Well," remarked the, veteran slug ger, "If any umpire called that a strike on me I’d punch him In the nose.”-* Hugh Fullerton In Washington Star.
