GOLF SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Merely Taking a Peek, ’s All The Georgian's Expert Greatly Admires Association of Town and Countrv Club Functions. By “Chirk’' Evans. B ACK in 1911 I spent two happy months 1n Atlanta, playing; dally over the East Lake course. During; almost the whole time 1 stayed out at Bast Lake, making only occasional trips to the city, for I was industriously preparing; to enter the British amateur championship at Prestwick, Scotland, and 1 w*anted to make as creditable a showing as pos sible 1 had left Chicago frostbound. much too cold for golfing, and 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 courtesy of tlte club was extended to me. and I think my chief regret at not going further In tlie 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 with snow up there jus’t now. and even under the best 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 happv 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 went out to East Lake in a violent rainstorm, where a match had been arranged between Mr. William Rowan and Stewart Maiden and Mr. Adair and myself. • • • T AM always Interested in the roads ' to clubhouses—how many I have traveled! and the one to East l^ake was suggejstiv#} 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. * • • 1 FOUND the course wonderfully t 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 t « new' arrangement and after to day's familiarity with the lay of the land, traps. distances and other things, 1 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 l ad been two up at one time In the afternoon rdund 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 fairly 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. Adsil*. So and s4. Mr. Rowan. S ’, and S'. Stewur Maiden. 75 and SI, and I. 7,1 and 76. • * • 1 AM much interested in the connec tion of One East Lake Ulub with the Atlanta Athletic Flub, 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 l ave 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 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 course Is the pioneer golf grounds of an athletic club, and the idea seems good enough to be more widely •pread. GEE.

By Otto C. Kioto. 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 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 shower 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 tiling about me. I pray and hope they’ll knock me. j 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. I'll reap the harvest ami 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 j is certainly true. When you see some j one in public life knocked, you know he amounts to something or the darts I 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- j ers. The records stand for that. Recently, when .Hmmy Clabby was j 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 tnis 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 will come with great regular ity if you have the old certified check at your command.” V These Are Well Fixed. I Just look back on your memorv 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 lie only got hold of his bank roll after lie 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; Raokey McFarland, tlie J. T\ Morgan of the fight game; Tommy Ryan, a Syra cuse house owner; Tom Sharkey, the New' York bontf&ce; Tommy Burns, a rich Canadian merchant, and others too numerous to mention, were at tacked almost dally either in tlie press or by some of the fight follow ers But at the same tint* well say: ‘They'll have to give no benefits for Athletic Club Five Battles Miss.

DENVER HAS NEW COACH. DENVER. Dec. 26.—II. (J. Bucking- | j ham. of Memphis. Tenn.. has been ap pointed coach for Denver University football team. By James Clarkson. C 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 with the West Side team he wants to play next year. He seems to disre gard the $10,000 bonus offer en tirely. Thi$ 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 he along the lines that the chances of the Cubs getting him back are mighty brigh: 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 nex: 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 sur prising if it developed that Murphy, boss of the Cubs, and Garry Herr mann, chief of the Reds, had rlosed long ago for Tinker and that all th.s wrangle and talk was a lot of P r * 99 work to keep the National League before the public. Such things are often pulled in baseball.
