E\T YORK, Sept. 13.—The man-
agement of the Atlantic Gar

been promoting boxing matches' of
late, helped the manly art of self-
defense considerably by slipping it
a shot of ground glass and then wal
loping it over tuo head with a sledge
hammer.

The management of the Atlantic

had their bout advertised as one of
the greatest boxing matches of the
age. They drew an enormous crowd.

The trouble with tins high British
thought, however, is that for a time
after a lost match even the best plav-
er doubts his own skill; it has un
doubtedly failed in a great emer
gency and hat not met a test of
utility.
But there i? a pleasure in a con
sciousness of skill that no mere win
ning can ever give, for golf is not a
business with a deal to be put
through at any cost at n certain mo
ment, but a great sport, perhaps an
art, in which a high average of abil
ity gives an ever and increasing
tente of pleature as the days go on.
I suppose, furthermore, that most
of us w'ill acknowledge that medal
play demonstrates the highest skill
in the game, while match play, not
to be underrated, shows a business
like quality of "getting there.” some
time? regardless of the means. Tt
demonstrates skill, of course, but riot
always of the highest degree. It is
a contest between man and man.
where skill for skill’s sake frequently
gives \va> to various experiences.
If I were not afraid of being mis
understood I should like to say that
match play bears about the same re
semblance to medal play that the
"best seller" does to a oil or real
literature.
One is a triumph of the very ex
cellent and useful American faculty
of "getting there.” while the other,
untouched at its best ay the condi
tion of another man’s work, can be j
made an approximately perfect ex
ponent of mire skill: and the pursuit
of the perfect round is the joy and

Lieut. Devore Will

Of Interest to football f»na in this sec
tion is the announcement coming Friday
from Fort McPherson which states that
Lieutenant Devore. United States Army,
former West Point football captain, and
all-American tackle, is to coach the
Fort McPherson eleven this fall. Lieu
tenant Devore was recently assigned to
the Seventeenth Infantry, and arrived ln
Atlanta Friday afternoon.
Tho largest and best squad In some
years has turned out for the fall prac
tice at Fort McPherson, and under the
coaching of Lieutenant Devore, who b
considered by a number of gridiron ex
perts to be the best tackle of bis time,
an eleven to be feared by all contenders
for Southern honors will probably be
developed.
The first game on the schedule for the
soldiers is set for September 27. when
