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.

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 Then go over your lis: of popular] ones and note the difference.

Dan made a star out of Jack Britton when Jack was drifting about the coun try as a fairly good lightweight, and | he. did the same with Knockout Brown, who was never better than a good sec ond-rater Michael Saul, with his green kelly in hand, was an early caller yesterday. Michael has assumed the management of Meyer Pries and has some cruel words to say about "Kid” Young. “I see that Young is looking for a bout around here.” started Michael. “Well, I saw Pries hold Young practically to a draw at Athens, and 1 know Pries can beat him in a return go. If some promoter will match these boys, they can have a little of my money on Mey er, after w hich Mr. Saul went on j his way. Pal Brown, the Western lightweight, is a big favorite with the followers of pugilism in Australia. Since Brown has been there he has defeated every fighter he has met. In his first battle he fought Mehegan. The fans offered odds of 3 to 1. on the Australian champion, hut Pal gave him such a terrible beating that he was lucky to last 20 rounds. * * * George Chip delivered again. George repeated his knockout victory over Frank Klaus at Pittsburg Tuesday » night, this time putting Klaus away in five rounds. This Chip boy must be a wonder, and its about time for the pub lic to recognize him as the real mid dleweight champion. * * * Chicago Joe Thomas.

Joe deserves much credit for Charlie’s ring success, as he has been with the Chicago boxer for nearly’ three years. He is also a grand little fellow’. * * * "Kid” Williams, of Baltimore, and Eddie Campl. the San Francisco ban tam. have signed articles to fight twen tv rounds on Lincoln’s birthday, Febru ary 12. A year ago on this date Wil liams shaded Campl in a twenty-round go. and the San Franciscan has been after a return scrap ever since. LEVINSKY DEFE/.TS DRISCOLL. NEW YORK. Dec. 26—Battling Levin- sky, the Philadelphia fighter, is still mounting higher to the front ranks of the “white hopes.” He added another victory to his list last night w’hen he hammered Jack Driscoll for six rounds, despite the fact that the latter had ten pounds the better of the w’eight. Levinsky could have put his man out any time after the seventh round, but was content to keep his advantage. Leach Cross Favored Over Bud Anderson LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.-—Leach Cross and Bud Anderson are down to hard training for their fight here on New- Year’s Day. Cross is the choice of the bettors, although, so far, little money has been wagered on the result. Each man claims he will be in fine condition when the time arrives for action. DENVER HAS NEW COACH. DENVER, Dec. 26.— H. G. Bucking ham. of Memphis, Tenn., has been ap pointed coach for Denver University football ream. C 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. m Cleveland Will Hold Boxing Tournament CLEVELAND.
