The Georgian's Expert Greatly
Admires Association of Town
and Country Club Functions.
By “Chick’' Evans.
B ACK in 1911 I spent two happy
months in Atlanta, playing
daily over the East Lake
course. During almost the whole time
1 stayed out at East Lake, making ]
only occasional trips to the city, for I
das industriously preparing to enter
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, snd I found
Atlanta comparatively warm and golf
playing in the open air a comfortable
performance.
I 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, every
courtesv of the club was extended to
me. end I think my chief regret at
not going further In the British am
ateur was that I had disappointed my
generous hosts in Atlanta.

THE weather man has been decid-
1 edly kinder to Chicago this fall
than usual, but the ground is carpet
ed with snow up there just now, and
even under the beat 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 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 idtif and her
charming family, Mr Adair and I
went out to EG,st Lake in a violent
rainstorm, where a match had been
arranged between Mr. William Rowan
and Stewart Maiden and Mr. Adair
and myself.

1 AM always interested in the road*
to clubhouses how many I have
traveled! and the one to East l^ake
was suggestive of pleasant memo
ries, and although somewhat changed,
it is s 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.

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 r.ew arrangement and nfter to
day's familiarity with the lav of the
land, traps, distances and other
things, I hope to be able to tell you
what I 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 cards
were fairh good, and although it was

were holed out and therefore none

to lay the facts of the successful
working of a plan that provides a
country club for an athletic associa

1 have heard the members of that

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,
hut stringent rules and a strict re
gard for the rights of the other fellow
ought to minimize the difficulties. If
I am not mistaken, the East Lake
nurse is the pioneer golf grounds of
an athletic club, and the idea seems
good enough to be more widely
spread.

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 la 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
shower, of blows as they descended
on 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---nkxt to his ability to light—to
the constant knocking that has been
heaped on him from several direc
tions. “1 want people to speak w’ell
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.
I 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."
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 j
he amounts to something or the darts
of the knockers' arrow’s would not j
be alined at him. More successes have
undoubtedly been made by knock
ers than w’ere ever created by boost
ers. The records stand for that.
Recently, when Jimmy flabby was
In Frisco, Harry 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 hank ac
count will have swelled to great di
mensions. You can’t eat three squares
on popularity, but the coffee and
sinkers will come wdih great regular
ity if you have the old certified check
at your command."
Theie 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 j
to be the only exception and be only
got bold of his bank roll after lie I

DENVER HAS NEW COACH

HICAGO, ILL... Dec. 26.—TX,
Tinker case Is still as mud
dled as ever, but from behind
all this mixup comes & 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 $f0,000 bonus offer en
tirely.
This stand by Joe and the fact that
President Murphy is In 'Cincinnati,
where 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 Bre^
nahan, Lavender and an outfielder for
Tinker.
There is something strange 1n 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 Leagus
before the public. Such things are
often pulled 4n baseball.
