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. Now knowing liow necessary outdoor exercise is, to promote an efficient body and an efficient GUNBOAT 8MITH WINS.

PUBLIC STENOGRAPHER. 527 Austell Building. 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 Saturday will be for blood. The £ommodore squad Is made up of husky performers and they know tho game thoroughly. When their South ern trip started they wdre a bit wabbly on team play, but they have done a lot the season. of work lately under Are and they are playing -better together. Vanderbilt teams always draw big crowds in Atlanta, and the Commodore basket ball five will doubtless be greet ed by ohe of the largest gatherings of 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 box Packey McFarland, of Chicago, during the second week of January.

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. NELSON AN!

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.
