AUK in 1911 I spent two happy
rtiontha in Atlanta. flaying
daily over the East lvake
course. During almost the whole time
I stayed out at East bake, making
only occasional trips to the city, for I
was industriously preparing to enter
the. British amateur championship at
Prestwick, Scotland, and 1 wanted to
make as creditable a showing as pos
sible 1 had left Uhicago froatbound |
much too cold for golfing, and I found
Atlanta comparatively warm and golf
playing in the open air a comfortable
performance.
1 enjoyed every moment of my visit
at East Lake, for owing to the kindly
office* of Mr. Thomas Paine,Mr. George
Adair and Mr. Lowry Arnold, every i
courtesy of the club was extended to
me. and I think my chief regret at
riot going further In the British am
ateur was that I had disappointed my
generous hosts in Atlanta

T HE weather man has been decid
edly kinder to Chicago thifwfall
than usual, but the ground Is carpet
ed with snow up there just now. and
oven under the best conditions there
is much difference In the temperature
of the Chicago of the North and the
Chicago of the South. It was very
glad to leave the Northern Chicago at
this time of the year, and when Mr.
Chicago of the South. I was very
sound of his pleasant voice carried
me hack to the happy days during
the spring of 1911, and after a night
spent under his hospitable roof I
awoke with a feeling. In spite of the
weather, that Christmas in Atlanta is
a most delightful occasion.
Soon after a delicious Southern
breakfast with Mrs. Adair and her
charming family, Mr Adair and I
went out to P'ast Lake in a violent
rainstorm, where a match had been
arranged between Mr. William Rowin
and Stewart \Maiden and Mr. Adair
and myself.

I AM always Interestedi in the roads
to clubhouses—how many I have
traveled!—find the one to East Lake
was suggestive of pleasant memo
ries. and although somewhat changed,
it is a very agreeable jaunt through
wooded stretches and roret beautiful
houses. As we approached East Lake
3 was watching eagerly for the first
view of Mr. Tom Paine’s pretty house
and perhaos a glimpse of the family,
including little Douglas, who had been
so good to me on my former visit.
• * •
I POUND tiie course wonderfully
* changed since 1911 There were
many pits and trap®, and I learned
that* they were for the new course
Mr. Adair has shown me a plan of
the new arrangement and after to
day’s familiarity with the lay of the
land, traps, distances and other
things, 1 hope to he able to tell you
what 1 think about It.
It'wns a great pleasure to play over
the present links yesterday, notwith
standing the blustery weather condi
tions, and our match was a most in
teresting one, especially in the morn
ing. when we had 4 close contest, for
we finished all square after each side
had been two up at one time.
In the afternoon, round Mr Ad tar
and 1 won four out of the first five
holes, giving us a load which our op
ponents were upable to cut dow n In
spite of the score-destroying wind
and rain, and even snow, the cards
were fairlv good, and although it was
a best-ball four-ball match, all putts
were holed out and therefore none
were approximated
The scores were Mr. Ad «ir. SO and
*4. Mr. Rowan. S3 and 95. Stewart
Maiden. /5 and 81. and 1. 75 and 76.
* * •
f \M much Interested in the t onnee-
* tlon of the East Lake Glob with
*■ <• Mlanin Athletic <*1ub. and I hope
to lav the facts of the successful
working of a plan that provides a
countr> club for an athletic associa
tion before the Chicago Athletic As
sociation
1 have h«*ard the members of that
!uh suggest many times the ndvls-
anilitv of a cauhtrv club for the as
sociation, but always the practicabil
ity of such an undertaking has been
doubted, yet here in Atlanta is the
very plan successfully carried out
Naturally there will be a congestion
on the course of a large association,
but stringent rules and a strict re
gard for the rights of the other fellow
ought to minimize the difficulties. If
l am not mistaken, the East Lake
course is the pioneer golf grounds of
an athletic club, and the idea seems
good enough to be, more widely
spread.

Notable Successes of Prize Ring
Have All Made Enemies, Says
Pugilistic Expert.
By Otto Kioto.
D ENVER. Dec. 26.—“I love you
for the enemies you’ve made.”
so spoke a well-known man
of the world the other day to his
warm particular friend. Never was
there an expression with which the
writer is so thoroughly in accord.
Life’s path is strewn with successes
mad* possible [ly the constant swing
ing of the sledge on some person who
th rivet! and prospered under the
shower of blow’s as/they descended
<n bis person. Of course we mean
that a man must have his contin
gent of friends. However, the fel
low who has nothing but friends and
registers no enemies—well, put him
down as a failure.
While in New York recently Willie
Ritchie and myself dined on Broad
way one night and he told me that he
attributes the great cause of his suc
cess next to his ability to fight to
the constant knocking that has been
heaped on him from several direc
tions. *1 want people to speak well
of ni^’ he said “On the other hand,
if they can’t say a nice thing about
rne, 1 pray and hope they’ll knock me.
J want to have them always keep my
name before the public- if they'll do
that either In saying good or bad
things about me well. I'll reap the
harvest and my future is secure.”
Knooking Means Something.
How true all this Is and how often
have we seen It exemplified. The old
adage about never knocking a sucker j
is certainly true. When you see some
one In public life knocked, you know j
he amounts to something or the darts
of the knockers’ arrows would not
be aimed at him. More successes have f
undoubtedly been made by knock
ers than were ever created by boost
ers. The records stand for that. ^
Recently, when Jimmy Olabby was
in Frisco. Harry Foley gave him this
advice. "Say, Jimmy, are you in the
fighting game for the money?” asked
Harry. To which dabby replied in
the affirmative. "Then go out and
make all the enemies you can When
you have done this your popularity
has suffered some, but your bank ac
count will have swelled to great di
mensions. You can’t eat three squares
on popularity, but the coffee and
sinkers will come with great regular
ity if you have the old certified check
at your command."
These Are Well Fixed.
Just look back on your memory a j
bit and note how many fighters that j
have got a bank account enjoyed j
popularity. John L. Sullivan seems i
to be the only exception and lie only I
got hold of his bank roll after he I
ceased being a good fellow and bank - .
ing on popularity at that. Jim Cor- |
bett. who is well fixed; Ad Wolgast.
who has several hundred thousand '
dollars' worth of real estate; Packey
McFarland, the J. P. Morgan of the
fight game; Tommy Ryan, a Syra- j
cuse house owner; Tom Sharkey, the
New York bonlface; Tommy Burns, ;
a rich Canadian merchant, and others ;
too numerous to mention, were at
tacked almost daily either in the
press or by soma of the fight follow
ers. But aj the same tftne we’ll say;
“They’ll have to give no benefits for
any of that bunch because of old
age and the down-and-out affliction.’’
Then go over your list of popular
ones and note the difference. For in
stance. Jack McAuliffe. Kid Lavigne.
George Dixon. Wilmington Jack Daly,
Tommy West. Jem Hall. Young Grif-
fo. Buffalo Opstello, Young Corbett.
Terry McGovern and others of that
ilk what's the answer? The first
named group were knocked, the lAst
Trained boosted.

Crack Shortstop Flatly Refuses
to Join Brooklyn Club—Mur-
phy in Cincinnati.
By James Clarkson.
C HICAGO, ILL., Dec. 26.—The
Tinker case is still as mud
dled as ever, but from behind
all this mixup comes a voice that tells
the writer that the veteran shortstop
and recently manager of the Reds
will be back with the Cubs next sea
son. In a way the entire matter has
take/i on a different aspect.
To-day Tinker flatly refused to go
to .Brooklyn, declaring that Chicago
is fiis favored berth and that it is
with the West Side team he wants to
play next year. * He seems to disre
gard the $10,000 bonus offer en
tirely.
This stand by Joe and the fact that
President Murphy is in Cincinnati,
where he and Garry Herrmann have
held a conference lasting # hours,
makes it appear as though Joe knows
more than he cares to say, that if he
dared say it it would be along the
lines that the chances of the Cubs
getting him back are mighty bright.
From one closely connected with
the Cub chief comes the story that
Murphy yesterday offered Bresnahan
and one other Cub in one deal and
Bresnahan and two youngsters in ex
change for Tinker and that Joe w’ould
be made a Cub again within the next
few days. Cincinnati sent the story
that Murphy was ready to give B,es-
nahan, Lavender and an outfielder for
Tinker.
There is something strange in all
this mixup and it Wouldn’t be sur
prising if it developed that Murphy,
boss of the Cubs, and Garry Herr
mann, chief of the Reds, had closed
.long ago for Tinker and that all this
wrangle and talk was a. lot of press
work to keep the National League
before the public. Such things are
often pulled in baseball.

Umpire's World May Not Reign
Supreme Next Season as in
Former Years,
By Prank G. Menke.
N EW YORK, Dec. 26.—Strict di;
cipline on the baseball field
one of the things Presidei
Johi> K. Tener, of the Nation
League, will demand of his umpire
according to his secretary, David Li
roy Reeves, with whom he has di:
cussed the umpire problem.
. ^fcsident Tener's idea of wh\t tl
ideal arbiter should be was ei
pressed as follows:
'T do not wish to be understood i.
meaning that an umpire should be
law unto himself: that his manm
should be dictatorial, his attitude a:
rogant and his entire demean*
evince a self-satisfied air that wou
brook no argument or intercessio
Right to the contrary, l,think an un
pire should be conciliatory, but fim
positive, but polite; quick, but ui
demonstrative; strict, but reasor
able.
"One of the cardinal principles ■
justice is that every’ man should ha^
an opportunity’ to be heard, to pr<
sent his side of the case. If a play
is guilty of the charges submitted t
the umpire and ha^ no equitable <
reasonable defense, the ends of jui
tice and the morals of discipline ca
be served just as well by suspendir
the players three or four days af f <
the violation has occurred as by; a
immediate suspension following tl
report of the arbitrator.
“There is no reason why such cas<
should not be considered in the mo
lenient attitude possible and by a
means obtain the facts in the cai
from both sides before the player
punished by suspension.”
