B ACK in *1911 I spent two happy month* in Atlanta, playing daily over the East Lake course. During almost the whole timen I stayed out at East Lake, making t only occasional trips to the city, for I | was industriously preparing to enter j the British amateur championship at Prestwick, Scotland, and I wanted to make as creditable a showing as pos sible. 1 had left Chicago frostbound much too cold for golfing, and 1 found Atlanta comparatively warm and golf playing in the open air a comfortable performs nee. I enjoyed every moment of mv visit a: East Lake, for owing to the kindly < ffiees of Mr. Thomas Paine,Mr. George Adair and Mr. Lowry Arnold, every courtesy of the club was extended to me, and 1 think my * hief 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 edlv kinder to Chicago this fa than usual, hut the ground is carpet- j ed with snow up there just now. and J even under the best conditions there is much difference in the temperature *>f i he 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 t£> the happy days during INDOOR SPORTS By Tad he spring mf 1911, and after a night spent under his hospitable roof I iwoke 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 East Lake in a violent rainstorm, where a match had been arranged between Mr. William Rowm and Stewart Maiden and Mr. Adair and myself. AM alwavs Interested in the roads traveled! and the one to East l>ake 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 Lakp 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. T FOUND the course 1 changed since 1911. wonderfully There were many pits and traps, and T 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 apd other things, I hope to be able to tell you what T 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 t*ie 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 cards were fair!v 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. 80 and S4 Mr Rowan.

D RNVER, Dec. 26.—"I lov 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 made possible by the constant swing ing of the sledge on some person who thrived and prospered under the Bhower of blows as they descended cn 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 fight—to the constant knocking that has been heaped on him from several direc tions. “I want people to speak well of me,” he said. “On the other hand, if they can’t say a nice thing about me, 1 pray and hope they’ll knock me. I want to have them always keep, my name before the ptiblic—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.” Knocking Means Something.

Naturally there will he 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 T am not mistaken, the Hast Lake course is the pioneer golf grounds of in athletic club, and the idea seems good enough to he more widely spread. r % BRETTON A n***y *nd moft Attractive White Satin Striped Madras model which will appeal ftronglv to the love* of good collar atyle Shapelv good fitting- ea»T to put ’ on a«d take off doean t apread apa»1 at the top.

The old adage about never knocking a sucker | is certainly true. When you see some j one in public life knocked, you know \ he amounts to something or the darts ! of the knockers’ arrow s would not j be aimed at him. More successes have I undoubtedly been tpade by knock- | ers than were ever created by boost ers. The records stand for that. Recently, when Jimmy Clabbj was in Frisco, llafry Foley gave him this advice: 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 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 w’ill 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 hank 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; Packey McFarland, the J. P. Morgan of the fight game; Tommy Ryan, a Syra cuse 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 well 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.

DENVER HAS NEW COACH DENVER, Hoc. 26.—It. G. Bucking ham. of Memphis. Tern., has been ap pointed coach for Denver University football team. c By James Clarkson. HICAGO, ILL., Dec. 26.—Tin' 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 r> 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 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 would be made a Cub again within the next few days. Cincinnati sent the story that Murphy was ready to give Bree nahan, Lavender and an outfielder for Tinker. There Is something strange In all this mixup and it wouldn’t he sur prising if it developed that Murphy boss of the Cubs, and Garry Herr inann, 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. You’ve got to hand it to Daniel Mor gan, of the firm of Morgan & McKetrirk, of New York, when it comes to pushing a fighter along the busy path. Dan loves an argument and can hand out language that Daniel Webster never heard of. hut at the same time always lias several words of praise for his fighter. Chicago Joe Thomas. Charlie White's j trainer, has been offered a job to travel i with the Washington Senators next sea- ! son.
