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. ■Johnny Aiken Injured In Motorcycle Spill: Savannah Race Off SAVANNAH GA.. Dec. 26—John ny Aiken, of Atlanta, manager of the Southern Motorcycle Company, and w ho entered the 300-mile grand prize motorcycle race last night, which was ro*tponed until Saturday, was hurt w idle rounding one of the turns. Aiken is not seriously injured and may be entered in the event Satur- ll FI9HTER-FL0T0 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. 'WH-I Ll .STEM ip- i oiOur MOW AiOUT tv 46 - JuJives'.

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. TENEH THUS PtAYERS NEED Umpire's World May Not Reign Supreme Next Season as in Former Years, By Prank G. Menke.
