I oan not evor adequately express how much I owe to the generous hearts of Mr. and Mrs. George Adair. Interest Jn golf has grown very rapidly in the last few years in the Southern States, and nowhere in the South do I think that golf enthusiasm is greater than in Atlanta. The natural result of so much enthusiasm has been the development of some very good Southern players, yet it is always a matter of surprise that these players do not go farther in the National Amateur, whose very efficient vice president, Mr. Milton Dargan. lives here, or In the Western, which has a deep interest in Southern Jplayers. One would think that the Southern player had eertahi natural advantages in the opportunity to play the year around, of course the game is young in the South, but the time is rapidly approaching when Southern golfers should reach a higher championship standard. At the present moment the very U*st Southern players are many shots behind the best players of the West and North, of course the Southern player must travel far to the big tourneys' and eonsequently comparatively few go. The Southern showing in tin* lbl.’l National was better than usual, and Nelson Whitney, your champion, qualified well up. but no Southern player yet has gone far in either Western or National. Many times 1 have heard tin* reason asked. In tne upbuilding of~ehampions, there are, 1 think, the followi/ig essen tials: First, enthusiasm and the type of enthusiasm that is the essence of patience. Golf looks so easy, and is in reality so hard, that it Is the most discouraging game at times in the world for the player. Then comes exam ple and instruction, and instruction should be either verbal or by example, for young players imitate readily. 1 think the best sort of instruction is playing with a lM*ttcr player. The next essential is a good golf course re quiring championship play. You can learn the shots on any course, provided Its condition allows the ball to fall and run the same every time. One must lx* able to judge tbe roll of a ball, and know' just what ground-behavior can Ik' expected of it. One can learn to hit the ball in the air, but unless the ground is right, he loses power to judge results. A good course aids good plaj -Mid penali7.es bad. I learned ray golf on a fiat 9-hole Wretch of ground, anl then I improved it l»y playing a groat deal at Chicago golf—a championship course. M R. O’DAY isn't the first one to tackle the problem of making a pitcher put it over -and it seems tr> ns that nobody will succeed In that undertaking without the aid of hyp notism. Certainly some manager-; owning wild hurlers with lots of stuff would be very grateful to Mr. O’Day if he would devise a plan to keep the ball over the plate. Also, if Mr, O’Day, by a juggling^ of the slag measurements, ran compel a pitcher to keep his product just over the cor ners of the pan. Mr. O'Day would bet ter give up umpiring and working *>n the rules committee, and start man aging another ball club. He would have some valuable pitching service—what? ♦ • t S O far as our research extends, only one rule aver has been proposed ihat seemed at nil likely to prevent the intentional passing of a heavy hitter in a pinch. We forget wh > suggested it but it had an air of plausibility entirely lacking from Mr. O Day's hunch, so far as understood. The idea was that the batter re ceiving four wide pitches had the op tion either of taking his base or of remaining at bat and allowing ‘he next batsman in order to take the base for him S UPPOSE. for example, that Har Welchonce was up, with Tommy Long on second or third and a right-hand pitcher on the slab. Sup- l pose the r. h pitcher had been pun shed severely by Harry, but bad been getting Wall} Smith and Bisland without difficulty. Then It might not be out of order to suppose that, with two out, the pitcher would rather see Harry on first than waving his Mg stick at tbe plate. AH right Four balls.

STROHOHTON, WIS., Dec 30 Sever Quale, of Stoughton, has accepted the challenge of August Raddatx. of Chicago. former champion walker of Germany, to a 26 mile hike on a six foot hardwood or sawdust track In some 'Rrg« city R&ddatr will have the ad vantage in age Quale recently nosed him out in a ten-mile walk In this city A T THE present moment Atlanta hits good instructors, among whom is Stewart Maiden, one of the best in the country—oceans of enthusiasm and a course to-be at Fast Lake that will doubly merit the title of the champion course of the South: indeed, it would lie called a good link in any part of America. And there are already some very good players hero. Some of you play very good wooden shots, some very good irons, and some putt extremely well: lu fact, the njore successful Atlanta golfer plays gen erally well, but I would suggest more practice of individual shots, a steady methodical attempt to round out one's game. • * * A MONG the best players at Fast Lake is the champion of the club, Mr. George \Y. Adair. He is truly a good, accurate, thoughtful player. 11 is chief trouble is with bis wooden clubs, and’is because the ascent and descent of bis club describe two different lines, and be does not throw the club head through the ball crisply enough. Mr. Tichenor plays well, and his shots all have a suggestion of a hook. Ferry Adair shows much promise, and Mr. \V. H. Rowan is another good player with a future. 1 noticed several younger men who take a deep Interest in the game, and it is very important that they In* encouraged to play. It is good for them* physically and morally, and it insures future champions. Wouldnt* it be tine to have the big National or Western cups in Atlanta?

THE EVANS CHEMICAL COMPANY, N ashville, tenn., Dec. 30 — The bitter factional feeling which has existed in the Nash ville baseball 1 war for the past two weeks reached a climax yesterday in an exchange of torrid statements be tween William Hirsig, majority stockholder in the Nashville club, and William C. Schwartz, last season’s manager of the local team. Hirsig emphatically declares in his state ment that under no circumstances will Schwartz manage the Nashville club next season since "he has been convinced that the ‘boy manager’ was not the bast leader the Vols could get for 1914.” Schwartz is charged by Hirsig of having approved of the Welchonce-! 'allahan deal, repeatedly denied by Schwartz previously, and published a letter from Schwartz in support of that contention. Hirsig Also attempts to saddle the responsibility for the Perry-Berger deal on Schwartz, offering to produce numerous witnesses in order to sub stantiate his accusations. ♦ * * UIRSIG insists that he is still presi- * *■ dent of the Nashville club, char acterizing the midnight meeting of a majority of the Nashville club’s stockholders, at which lie was de posed and Vice President Clyde Shropshire elected to succeed him. as a "rump” gathering, illegal and con trary to the by-laws of the Nashville club. Numerous legal decisions are offered to support the assertion that this meeting was illegal. Schwartz In his answer to Hirsig explains the Callahan-Welchonce deal by stating that the failure of the iNashville club to have him returned, after being drafted in 1912 by Wash ington. was due to the inability of the Nashville club to raise the nec essary $1,500 draft price to secure his return to the club from which he was drafted and to no lack of effort on his own part to have Welchonce re turned. Schwartz published a tele gram dated two days before Nashville released its claim to Atlanta, in which he asks Hirsig to meet him in Cin cinnati, In order that they might con fer with Garry Herrmann, of the Na tional Commission, relative to pre venting Washington turning the player over to Atlanta. Schwartz was in Cleveland, Ohio, at t*his time, and offers this message as proof that the deal was made without his knowl edge. • « * CQHWARTZ also denies responsl- bility for the Perry-Berger trade, claiming that lie had requested Hir sig not to make any de;*ls while in Atlanta. Schwartz charges Hirsig with being niggardly in supplying him with players of ability around which to build up a winning club, and charges that when he approached Hirsig last season he begged for new material to bolster up his faltering machine, he was denied any assistance by Hir sig. who refused to heed Schwartz’s warning that the club was "skating on thin ice," although later the Vols took a slump from which they were never able to recover.

Auburn Willing To Play Indians Here Next Season Famous Plays—By Heisman +•+ +*+ 'r • v +•+ +•+ No. 2—The Old Flying Wedge By J. W. Heisman.* I N THE fall of 1S92, after tbe “V” from a standing start had been In iis for over half a dozen years Harvard came forward with something distinctly new-—the “Flying Wedge.” This play was invented by a Cambridge man by name of Deland, and was copied far and wide until legislated out of existence by the rale re quiring that on the kick off the ball would have to be kicked an actual dis tance of at least ten yards. Deland had never played football himself, but had been watching it for rears on Soliders’ Field, and had often wondered why teams did not get more variety into their attack. The first time it was ever exhibited “on any stage” was in the game between Harvard and Yale that year at Springfield. It fell to the lot of the Crimson to kick off. and the Blue lined up ten yards away from the ball, and prepared to attack the expected “V” in the usual way. What was their amazement to see the Harvard team line up in a crazy, new-fangled way to which there seemed to be no sense whatever. Instead of the center getting over the ball the Crimson quarterback was guarding it. About -0 feet to his left and-somewhat back of him was stationed the right half, and to the rear of this latter and also back further was stationed the other half. And then there was an Indian file of five, and another of three, widely separated from each other. But the queerest thing about it all was the fact that the eight men in these two files did not come up to the middle of the field and toe the scratch there, but seemed content to take station some 20 yards back of midfield, as though they intended to luce nothing whatever to do with the ceremonies incident to the opening of hostilities. The Yale players stared blankly, and the Yale coaches looked their college color: no one of them could form a guess as to what might be coming off or what should be done: tbe stands were awed with dumb, suppressed excitement. The officials themselves stared and procrastinated, and asked the Harvard and Yale captains twice each if they were ready. It appeared impossible that the Harvard team could be ready, but each time Captain Dudley Dean, of Harvard, calmly insisted that lie was quite ready for the dogs of vvat; to be unleashed, and so at length the whistle sounded its shrill blast. Auburn has accepted the offer to meet Carlisle on an Atlanta gridiron next fall, asking that.the game be staged two weeks after Thanksgiving Pay. It is probable that the contest will be held at either Grand Field or Poncy Park. GOLF PLAV POSTPONED. PIXEHUR8T, N. C., Dee M k!a> in the holiday golf tournament was por tioned iosurviay oil account of ram. Cicotte Returns His Contract Unsigned CHICAGO, Dec. 30 —Eddie Cicotte who ranked next to Walter Johnson as a pitcher In the American League last season, is said to be the first hold out of the 1914 crop. Cicotte is re ported from his Detroit home to have said that although the figure named in the contract was not satisfactory he would have refused'to sign at present under any circumstances because he had not been given permission by the players' fraternity. f A T ONCE the two lines of Harvard men started forward, seemingly aim- n ing to come together at the point M. On they came, faster and faster, gathering momentum with each stride, but the quarter and the halves stood stock still, while the ball had not yet moved a hair’s breadth. And until it did move the Yale players could not charge forward;.they could do nothing but wait in anxious doubt and indecision. But just before the right-hand column reached the point “P,” Dean, at quarter, picked up the hail and passed it rapidly to the right half. The latter at once shied it over to the left half, then turned and also made for | the point M. Meanwhile Dean, after passing the ball to the right half, j sprang forward and tumbled under Yale’s right guard. After the ball had bcmi scraped over Dean’s toe. in fake conformity to the ! kick-off requirement, it took but an instant for the two defiles of Harvard ! players to effect a junction with the right half back at their apex, and wjth j all steam up the way they hit the Yale right tackle was something to remind : everybody of what a playful thunderbolt is like. With all that aroused ! momentum it was out of the question for the defensive team to Rnp things | in their track, and a good 25 yards gain had been chalked off in favor of the Crimson cohorts before Halfback Lake was finally brought to the sod. * * * i.N THIS particular instance the play owed some of its effectiveness i” 1 (ho fact that to Yale it was a. new stunt, and they could form no guess as to what was coming. But the next year everybody was playing it. an ’ all teams knew what to expect. Nevertheless, when well performed the tiling had such a terrific momentum whooped up by the time it came Into collision with the defensive players that there was no stopping il short of a substantial gain. ” / But if you think it must have taken nerve to fire into one of the o"l “Vs” that operated from a standing start what would you say to the nerve it took to wade into the flying wedge? The fact is it was a very dangerous play for everybody concerned, an” that was the 7'eason why the rule makers decided to eliminate it by insist!! - on an actual kick for the opening of a game. Much was expected of Deland in the way of new plays after this ini!! sueoess. but. so far as I have ever heard, lie never invented anything great importance in the game after that. “THE VICTOR ’ DR.
