That lets out the postman, the
policeman, the farmer and some
other folks; but it includes
lot of us, most of us, in fact.
Therefore, be it suggested to
us of sedentary habits that we
make and stick by the following
resolution thru the new year,
which will have begun before we
get another shot at you in this
justly execrated column:
"I agree to get more outdoor
exercise this coming new year
than I did in the twelve months
just past.”
We live in an age that de
mands efficiency.
If anybody charges that that
is a “bromidism” it will get
them nothing. We admit that it
it. But it is a good one.
The men who are' getting
ahead are studying efficiency.
But the trouble with a lot of
them is that they are trying to
develop all the efficiency in their
office systems, their machinery,
their equipment and their em*
plovees. And they Bre forget
ting that they must take especial
pains with their personal effl*
ciency.
To gain personal efficiency a
man must develop a quick brain
snd- a healthy body. Certainly
he isn’t likely to have the for
mer without the latter. They go
together. •
yourself and tell yourself the
truth.
Some of the greatest enemies
to brain and body are too much
food and drink, too little exer
cise.
Most of us cither eat too much
or drink too much—some of us
carry both to excess.
And most of us exercise too
little.
The average man, tho, passes
up exercise for lack of time.
“I haven’t time to fool with
any games or exercises,” each
man tells himself. But hasn’t he t
A lot of folks could get good
exercise by walking. The num
ber of people who ride back and
forth to* their offices and stores
each day is a crime. Your av
erage man will sleep until the
last possible minute, grab a hur
ried breakfast and then swingVm
a ear for a ride of five or ten
blocks. If he would get ,up n
half hour earlier, eat his break
fast at a comfortable rate of
speed and walk to his business,
he would be a more efficient
worker.
To the man pressed for time
there is nothing better than a
few minutes’ exercise morning
and night in his bed room. But
admittedly it takes a world of
determination to go thru the
usual setting-up drill that is at
tempted at such times.
By grabbing off a couple of
pages of some school hygiene we
could give you a lot of excellent
reasons why exercise is neces
sary to promote the desirable
functions of the human body.
But you all know some of them
already. If you don't, then tak«
our word for it.

The best form of exercise is
the playing of some game, for
this combines exercise with
pleasure. Every man who can
get the time ought to put in a
couple of afternoons a week at
some sport—baseball, golf, ten
nis. or the like. ^
It is a revelation to go to the
Athletic club grounds at East
Lake on a nice Saturday after
noon and to see the class of
men who are going in for golf
and tennis. You will find pro
fessional men, bankers, big mer
chants and all sorts^of “leading
citizens” engaging in these
games with the gusto of collego
boys. Some of them' arc there
merely for the “fun of the
thing.” But more of them are
taking these pleasurable forms
of exercise because it makes
them stronger physically, quicker
of brain—in fact, more efficient.
VANDERBILT BASKET BALL SQUAD.
From this husky collectlcn«of humanity the team will be selacted that will play the A, A. C. five Saturday night.
The Vanderbilt basket ball team will
make It* annual appearance In Atlanta
Saturday night and will meet Its old-
time rival, the Atlanta Athletic club.
Both v teams have been a bit up
against It this season, but both are
rounding Into form now and the game

GREAT SPRING’ TOUR PLANNED;
ROUTE PASSES THRU ATLANTA
To meet the Increasing demand for
the latest and most accurate read data
In the Southern states, and principally
to put up sign posts on the part of
the road which has not been posted, a
Nashvllie-to-Augusta tour of owners'
cart has been announced for the early
? art of April under the direction of the
ourlng Club of AmerlBa.
Since the opening Of their Southern
headquarters at the Georgian Terra dp
hotel, Atlanta, the Touring Club of
America has received hundreds of let
ters from Northern and middle West
ern automobile owners requesting in
formation In regard to roads In the
middle Southern territory. The major
ity of these Inquiries have been as to
the condition of roads from Nashville,
Tenn., to Atlanta, Ga. A great part
of this road has never been officially
mapped, nor are there at present any
sign posts, and so, aside from the pleas
ure of a run between Nashville and
Augusta In the early spring, this will
be a good opportunity for the Tour
TWO MOGULS YOU ALL KNOW
On the left is James McAIttr, the new part owner of the Boston Amer
icans. MeAleer led the Washington team last aaaaon and before that was
manager of *hs St. Louis Brown*. On th* left la Harry Davit, the new
manager of the Cleveland team In the American leagua, who to anxious to
msko oome dealt in the hop* of strengthening tho Naps for next year.
Let’s all take the exercise wei
need thru this big year of 1912
that stretches ahead of us. It
will make us better able to carry ]
the burdens.
CURLEY WANT8 FLYNN
TO MEET THE CHAMPION
Chicago, Deo. 30.—Jack Curley la
speeding eastward from Balt Lake City,
determined to aee Jack Johnson per
sonally and challenge him to meet
Fireman Jim Flynn. Incidentally the
promoter will talk over the terms and
other details of a possible fight.
Johnson was pleased when he heard
of the coming of Curley. ‘Til fight
Flynn," he said. "If the proper Induce
ments are made."

TERRY NELSON WILL BOX A FEW MORE TIMES,
AND THEN RETIRE AND 00 INTO BUSINESS
Terry Nelson, the little Greek lad who did so well In his bout Friday
with Young Joe Grim, will leave at once for Chattanooga. He will go
on there January 9 with Mike Saul or Jake Abel. He also has an en
gagement In Charleston on January 19, but does not know whom lie will
meet there. He hopes also to get on In Memphis with Young Swords.
Nelson Is putting on every bout lie can get these days—and saving
the money. The little Greek lad lives well und travels In style, but lie al
ways salts away some of the coin from every’ engagement.
“I'm going to quit pretty soon." says Terry, "nnd when I do III have
money enough to buy a nice buslneas In Chicago. I'm going to get mar
ried, too. There's a' girl up In Philadelphia who promised to marry me If
I’d beat Jake Abel. I beat him, and she says it’s all right. I'm going to
quit while I'm good and start In making money right." Bo says T. Nelson.
And he means It, too.
HICKEY MEETS 8TONE.
New York, Dee. 30.—Should “Young
Hickey"' defeat Harry Stone In their
ten-round bout at the Falrmount Ath
letic club tonight he will be matched to

during the second week of January. ' ■

Johnny Dobbs Will Have a
Mighty Strong Club This
Year for Sure.
Real estate of all kinds can be disposed
of thru The Georgian. The Georgian real
estate columns can be profitably used by
people who wish ‘ " *
property, of any
ing'Club of America, who will send an
official car here In charge of D. D. Arm
strong, of Atlanta, to map and "sign
post" tjie road.
Just a Sociability Run.
The start will be from Nashville.
From there the cars will go to Chat
tanooga, then to Atlanta, and from
there to Augusta. While this will fiot
be exactly a contest of merit or speed,
already some ten cups have been offered
for the best run of owners’ cars between
these different points. In fact, aside
from the sign-posting and mapping of
the road from Nashville to Chattanoo
ga, the affair will be purely social. This
run Is but one of a series of similar
road scouting trips thru the South,
which will be made within the next few
months, principally to secure the latest
road data for the automobile blue book,
the offtolal guide of the Touring Club
of America, and this will, no doubt, be
the means of opening up a much
larger section of the Southern territory
to motor tourists.
Road Will Be Improved.
The road from Nashville to Chatta
nooga, with the exception of one short
stretch, which will be Improved pre
vious to this tour. Is In very good con
dition. The chambesr of commerce,
the boards of trade, and other civic or
ganizations along the route arc show
ing a great deal of Interest In this good
roads demonstration, and assistance to.
ard Improving many sections of the
highway has been promised. Neither
Is It Improbable that a number of cart I
will continue the trip thru to New Or-'
leans, oh a more desirable road to that
city has been sought by thousands of
motorist* especially desrlous of visit
ing this city during the Mardl Gras
festivities.
Those who will look after the details
of the tour are D. D. Armstrong, vice
president of the Touring Club of Amer
ica, who Is In charge of their Southern
office at the Georgian Terrace; J. May
nard Waite, who represents the Hotel
Hermitage, the Georgian Terraco and
the Hampton Terrace, and Houston
Harper, of the Patten House, Chatta
nooga, who Is also the Chattanooga
manager of the Touring Club of Amer
lea.
Montgomery, Ala., Dec, 30.—With the
coming of Manager John Dobbs early
In January there will be a hum In the
local baseball camp preparatory to the
1912 season of the Southern league.
President Charles B. Jones expects
Dobbs here In a few days, a* he says
the manager must be on the spot a
month earlier this year, owing to the
new rule requiring contracts to be for.
warded to ball players by February 1
Instead of March I, as heretofore.
President Jones feels confident that
Montgomery is going to have a team
that the seven other clubs must reckon
with for .first division honors. He has
a deal on foot with a major league club,
he says, whereby he Is to get two first-
class pitchers, an outfielder of high or
der and one of the snappiest first base-
men that Dixie has seen. He says he
wants to get this deal cinched before
making an announcement.
From last year's bunch President
Jones has to choose froin for his pitch,
ing department Joe Bills, Doctor Thom
as, Lllllvelt, Manning Smith and
Sparks. It la doubtful whether Bill
Bailey, the star left-hander, will be
with Montgomery. Atchison, the south
paw who was with Nashville part of
last season, has been scoured for the
Climber*. This staff, together with the
pitcher Included In the pending deal,
will furnish good material. President
Jones states that Joe Bills will pitch
exclusively the coming season and will
not be used as a utility man, as was
done last season.
No new men are needed in the back
stop department, with such players as
Moran. Grlbbcns and McAllister to se
lect from.
Graham, who played first sack last
year, will not be here. His place Is to
be filled by the closing of the trade
previously mentioned. President Jones
says that ha has his line on a “peach”
of a second baseman to replace Dcrrlll
Pratt, who Is no longer a Climber.
Humpty McElveen and BUI Elwert will
be In their accustomed places at short
and third. ,
The outAeld, as doped out so far, will
Include Happy Smith, Stengel and the
so-far-unknown outfielder who Is In the
deal with the major league club. Sten
gel comes from the Ullnots-Wisconsln
league, where lie hit .353 last season.
Manager 'Dobbs wll lalso play In a gar.
den If necessary.
It Is announced that Jud Daly, who
covered left field for Montgomery, will
be with Brooktvn In 1912.
Altho It had been doped out for sev
eral months that the baseball park neit
season would be moved to Pickett
Springs, the nrogram has Just been
chanced, and the old grounds at Canl-
lol Heights will bo used again during
1912. A lease of these groilnd* for an-
bther year has Just been closed.
It had been planned to move the nark
to Pickett Spring* and lay a double
track to the grounds. Richard Tlllls,
owner of the street car system and also
of the ball club, had an agreement with
the cltv commls-lnn to do this, but
there has been a hitch.

Interest In the "Silent Knlgltt". motor
Is steadily on the Increase, and as the
show season draws near, It appears
that the sleeve valve type ot englnt
will attract more attention than any
thing else at the shows. Three Amer
ican companies will this year ahow
Knight motored models, while one, the
Stearns, will ahow nothing but Knight
engined models, as this company has
abandoned the poppet valve entirely.
There Is a certain automoblld agent
In Hanford, Cal., who has the laugh on
a number of his acquaintances because
of the (allure of their predictions re-
gardlng a recent test he made of one
of his machines. Several months ago
he loaded one touring enr on top of an
other by means of scaffolding, hitched
five more cars on behind, and after
the bystanders had finished prophesy
ing It could not be done he paraded
the whole caravan up Maln-st„ using
only the power of the four-cylinder en
gine In the first auto.
The machine was a 30-horsepower
Model T. Mitchell and after the critics
had seen what It would do some of them
wagged their heads and declared that
the severe strain it had undergone
would cauee weak points to develop
later. However, the car was a little
later sold to a local driver, who used
It In rent service, and since that time
It has traveled (.00? miles and today
Is practically ae solid as when It was
put into service.
The cause of good roads has been
espoused with particular v|m by the
Ford Motor Company and a systematic
campaign will be waged by that noted
concern In this roost Important crusade.
The Ford company has always been
striving tn advance the good roads
movement, but has lately hit upon an
especially potent scheme to arouse In-
