CHICK EVANS’ STORY OF FIRST DAY’S SPORT AT EAST LAKE COURSE
A. fl. C. GDLF \^ LK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT
O-o-o-only J-j-j-just Oc-oc-oc-occasionally
The Georgian's Expert Greatly
Admires Association of Town
and Country Club Functions.
By "Chick” Evans.
B ACK in 1911 1 spent two happy
months in Atlanta, playing
daily over the East I m k <
course. During almost the whole turn
1 stayed out at Hast Lake, making }
only occasional trips to the city, for 1 |
was industriously preparing to cntei
the British amateur championship at
Prestwick, Scotland, and 1 wanted to
make as creditable a showing as pos
sible. 1 had left Chicago frost bound
much too cold for golfing, and I found
Atlanta comparatively warm and golt
playing in the'open air a comfortable
performance.
1 enjoyed ever> moment of my visit
at East Lake, for owing to the kindly
offices of Mr. Thomas Paine,Mr. George
Adair and Mr. Lowry Arnold, “very
courtesy of the club was extended to
me, and 1 think my chief regret at
not 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 this fall
than usual, but the ground is carpet
ed »\ it 11 snow up there juvt now. and
even under the best conditions there
ns much difference in the temperature
of the Chicago of the North and the
Chicago of t lie South. It was very
glad to leave the Northern Chicago at
this time of the year, and when Mr.
(’hicago of the South. 1 was very
sound of liis* pleasant voice carried
me back 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
wont out to Last Lake in a violent
rainstorm, where a match had been
arranged between Mr. William How in
and Stewart Maiden and Mr. Adair
and myself.
* * *
I AA1 always interested In the roads
to clubhouses—how many I have
traveled! and 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 past beautiful
houses. As we approached East Lake
I was watching eagerly for tile first
v iew of Mr. Tom Paine’s pretty.house
and perhaps a glimpse of the family,
including little Douglas, who had been
.so good to me on my former visit.
* * •
I FOUND the course wonderfully
* changed since 1911. There were
many pits and traps, and 1 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 lav of the
land, traps, distances and other
things. 1 hope In b»* able to tell you
what 1 think about it.
It was 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-
tig. when we had a close contest, for
we finished all square after each, side
had been two up at one time
In the afternoon round Mr. Adiar
and 1 won four out of the first five
holes, giving us a lead which our op
ponents were unable to cut down. In
spite of the score-destroying wind
and rain, and even snow, tin* cards
were fairlv good. And although il was
a. best-ball four-ball match, all putts
were holed out and therefore none
were approximated.
The scores were: Mr. Adair. SO and
M: Mr. Rowan. 83 and 85; Stew.iri
Maiden* 75 and 81, and 1. 75 and 76.
* «- •
I AM much interested in the connect*
1 lion of the East l^ake Club with
the Atlanta Athletic Chib, and I hope
to lav the facts of the successful
working of a plan that provides a
country club for an athletic associa
tion before the Chicago Athletic As
sociation.
1 have heard the members of that
dub suggest many times the advis
ability of a country club for the as
sociation, but always the practicabil
ity of such an undertaking has been I
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
1 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 w idely
spread.

ENVER, Dec. 26.—“I lov
for theVnomlos 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
made possible by the constant swing
ing of the sledge on some person who
thrived and prospered under t li**
shower of blows as they descended
< n his 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 light—to
the constant knocking that has been
heaped on him from several direc
tions. “1 want people to speak well
of me.” he said. “On the other hand,
if they can’t say a nice thing about
me, I pray and hope they’ll knock me.
1 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. T’ll leap the
harvest and my future is secure.”
Knocking Means Something.
How true all this is and how often
have we seen it exemplified. The old
adage about never knocking a sucker
is certainly true. When you see some
one in public life knocked, you know
he amounts to something or the darts
of the knockers’ arrows would not
be aimed at him. More successes have
undoubtedly been made by knock
ers than were ever created by boost
ers. The records stand for that.
Recently, when Jimmy dabby was
In Frisco. Harry Foley gave him this
dviee: “Say. Jimmy, are you in the
fighting game for the money?” asked
Harry. To which Flabby replied in
the affirmative. “Then go out and
make all tlie enemies you can. When
you have done 111 is your popularity
l.as 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
bit and note how many fighters that
have got a bank account enjoyed
popularity. John L. Sullivan seems
to he the only exception and he only
got hold of his bank roll after he
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; Lackey
McFarland, the J. 1*. Morgan of the
fight game; Tommy Ryan, a Syra
cuse house owner; Tom Sharkey, the
New York bonifaee; Tommy Burns,
a rich Canadian merchant, and others
too numerous to mention, were at
tacked almost daily either In the
press or by some of the tight follow
ers. But at the same linie we'll say
“They’ll have to give no benefits for
any of that bunch because of
age and the down-and

By James Clarkson.
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
taken on a different aspect.
To-day Tinker flatly refused to g»>
to Brooklyn, declaring that Chicago
is his 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
lilies 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 Bres-
nahan. Lavender and an outfielder for
Tinker.
There is something strange in all
this mixup and it wouldn't be sin
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.
