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 happj
months in Atlanta, playing
daily over the East LhU;
course. During almost the whole time
1 stayed out at East Lake, making
only occasional trips to the c ity, for 1 |
was industriously preparing to ontei
the British amateur championship at
Prestwick, Scotland, and I wanted to
make as creditable a showing as pos
sible. I had left Chicago frost bound
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
offices of Mr. Thomas Paine,Mr. George
Adair and Mr. Lowry Arnold, **ver>
courtesy of the dub was extended to
me. and 1 think my chief regret at
not going further in the British am
ateur was that I had disappointed ray
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 with snow up there just now. and
even under the best conditions there
;s 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 your, and when Mr.
Chicago of the South. I was very
sound of hir pleasant voice carried
me back to the happy day a during
the spring of 191J, and after a night
spent under his hospitable roof r
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
<uarming family. Mr. Adair and I
wont out to Hast Lake in a violent
rainstorm, where a match had been
arranged between Mr. \\ 1111 am Row \n
and Stewart Maiden and Mr. Adair
and myself.
* * ♦
1 AM always interested in the roads
to clubhouses—how many I have
traveled! and the one to Hast Lake
wa* 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 the first
view 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 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 lav of the
land, traps, distances and other
things. I hope to 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
ing. 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, the ratals
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. Adair. St» and
M: Mr. Rowan. 83 and 85; Stew id
Maiden'. To and 81, and I, 75 and 76.
* «- •
1 AM much interested in the ronnec-
■ lion of the Hast 1-ake Club with
the Atlanta Athletic Club, and I hope
to lav the facts of the successful
working of a plan that provides a
country (dub for an athletic associa
tion before the Chicago Athletic As
sociation.
I have heard the members of that
club 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
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 ruler- 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 widely
spread.

Notable Successes of Prize Ring
Have All Made Enemies, Says
Pugilistic Expert.
I >\ ()t t o ('. Kioto.
D ENVER. Dec. 2G. ‘I love you
for theVnemies you’ve made,”
mo 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 lit accord.
Dlfe's path is strewn with successes
made possible by the constant swing
ing of the sledge on some person who
thrived and prospered under the
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 hut 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 ine.
1 want to nave 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 reap 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
lie 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 Flabby was
in Frisco. Harrs Foley gave him this
advice: “Say. Jimmy, are you in the
lighting game for the money?” asked
Harry. To which Clubby 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, hut 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 be 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; Rackey
McFarland, the J. 1\ Morgan of the
fight game; Tommy Ryan, a Syra
ruse house owner; Tom Sharkey, the
New York boniface; 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 fight follow
ers. But at the same time we ll sa>
“They’ll have to give no benefits for
any of that bunch because of old
;tg* and the down-and-out affliction.”
Then go over your list of popular
ones ami note the difference. For in
stance. Jack McAitliffe. Kid Lavigne.
George Dixon. Wilmington Jack Daly.
Tommy Wes Jem Hall, Young Grif-
fo, Buffalo Costello. Young Corbett,
Terry McGovern and others of that
ilk-what’s the answer? The first
named group were knocked, the last
named boosted.

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 go
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
lines that the chances of the Cubs
getting him back are mighty brjght.
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 would
be made a Cub again within the next
few (lays. 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 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 thi*
wrangle and talk was a lot of press
work to keep the National Leagun
before the public. Such things aro
often pulled in baseball.
