ATLANTA, GA-
}There's Always Danger of amm
~GEORGIAY SPORTS COVERED 4 EXPERTS:
Eighty Per Cent of the Improve
ment Must Come From Pupil’s
Own Industry, Says Chick.
. "
By “Chick” Evans.
HE poet tells us that at this sea
| son of the vear lh-"\unn;: man's
fancy turns to thoughts of love,
but we golfers know that our f:-nngw
players, whose love affairs are nicely
settled, have their minds, In the
springtime, fixed upon some method
whereby their skill in the game may
be largely increased. How it may be
done is the hurning question
“Here,” says John Jones, "1 have
been playing for ten years, and vet
John Smith, woh only began golf last
¥ear, is doing better than 1. Indeed, I
mysell played better the first year
. than | am doing now. '
The gqlfers who speak thus are le
gion, and they invariably decided to
do ceptain very strenuous things to
improve their game These resolu
tlons are rarely kept., The golfers
~dearn that it is not the man who plays
#yery day and many hours of the day
who improves his game. In fact, he
«Mmay be merely confirming some ex
tremely bad habits, Before the sea
~ BOn is half over our golfer who cher
ished mighty ambitions in the spring
8 saying: “1 only plaved. sos exer
clses anyhow.” Yet, we all know the
L exercise of skill gives a joy passing
understanding
The other day a friend, speaking to
Me in regard to his desire to improve
hix game for 1916, raired an interest
ing point. He said: “I am Just crazy
1o play good golf, and 1 want to take
lessons from the best professional
teacher in Atlanta. "Who g he?”
- - -
N,\'rl'n.u.lm the first thing one
thinks of In this connection is
gmc(lm\, and this golfer wanted the
] obtainable. He is a 4 member of
~one of thy big clubs in this district,
- but he had lost confidence in the in
- #tructor at his club-—and it is, indeed,
; mflut one instructor differs largely
e another in his abllity, to teach,
" L however, could not say who is the
" best teacher, even supposing that 1
q‘* a decided private opinion on that
o ject, for most of the teachers here
abouts are my friends
. The ambitious goifer surely should
: some instruction, but unless he is
& millionaire he should not use the
" merely as a means of practiong
(A good, honest pro can give one
;‘é»g:lh information In ten scattered
8 ns, after the fundamentals have
. Deen learned, to make a vast improve
_Wment in anyvone's game
i Between lessons, practice must be
up systematicaly, for 80 per cent

pupil's own industry; but this is

Q t o
.‘Q o
Jacob ADb€l, the Chattanooga glove.
wielder, is in our midst once more. Jake
arrived here yesterday morning, and
will be with us until Saturday afternoon,
when he will go back home.
Abel was vor‘y much surprised over
the outcome of the recent Britton-Lew
is bout in New Orleans. *“I thouih!
lewis would win sure,” chirped Jake,
“‘as he is by far the best boy I have
ever watched in action. Britton must
surely be a wonder to take his meas
ure."”
Jake says that his bout with Lewis
drew over ’2.000 in Chattanooga, which
is, indeed, a big house for the Tennes
gee city. This was the first fight pulled
off under the auspices of the new Ran
dolph Rose Athletic Club.
Joe Levy, matchmaker of the Ran
dolph Rose A. C., plans to stage two
bifi bouts next month. The first scrap
will probably be staged on May 17 and
will bring together Porky Flynn and
Jack Dillon. The other mill will be
K{ulled off on May 30. Jake Abei and
att Wells is to be the card for this
date.
You've simply got to hand it to this
Jack Dillon pnrt{;' Tuesday night he
took on, &mmh flmkr over the 15-
round route in nsas City, and Dillon
proved m‘t he is the Hebrew lad’'s mas
ter., Jack won the decision in fifteen
rounds.
Danny Morgan, who is managin e
vinsky, thoul‘\.l he would turn ou? rvo
winners in one week, as Britton, also a
Morgan battler, won over Ted Lewis
last Monday nlfm. Dillon, however,
would not have it that way, so Morgan
came through the fire with a 50-50 cut,
which is not bad, conlld‘rlns that Le
vinsky should remain a card despite his
defeat at the hands of Dillon. |
—— l
There are very few hea ights In
the game today who can flmflo this |
Dillon party, let alone u'im heavies.
Jack is a rcfulu' “man-killer,” and it
takes a vx:e of a ringman. to whip
him these days. i
Charlie Harvey, the former secretary
of the New York Athletic Commissiof,
i* now the local representative of!
Snowy Baker, the Australian fight pro
moter. Charley has been nu!hofl:‘J by |
Baker to send several good fighters to
Australia for battles. ¢ ‘
Mike Collins, who took Fred Fuiton
to New York for three fights, the first|
of which will be with Al Relch at the
Stadium A. C. on April 28, now demnndl‘
that Matt Henkle, the Cleveland ref
erce, be the third map in the rlnf. mn|
hasn't a chance of pul‘.lnf off this stunt,
because Henkle is not licensed to ref—l
eree in New York. Besides, Maxey
Blumenthal, manager of Reich, says that
he wouldn't consent to Henkle,
Johnny Griffiths, of Akron, and Willle
Beecher, of New York, will meet in a
10-round fight in Cleveland tonight. |
Having received a flattering offer MI
the manager of the Alhambra Theater,
of Harlem, for Benny Leonard to boxl
there during the week bheginning May
§. Billy Gibson, manager of Leonard,
has signed the contract for Benny's l‘-’
pearance there twice a day. It Is sa
that Leonard is receiving $9500 for one
week's work.
Vie Moran, whna founht Charlie White
% ‘Nooga, will face Shamus O'Brien In
one of the two 10-10und houts at Har
‘em, N. Y., on May 2. Moran has also
been matched by his manager, John
Relsler, to fight Johnny Pearson, the
Jersey City fighter, at the East New
York A. C. tomorrow night. This bout
was arranged as a workout for Moran, |

f Fulton County:
®
As election day draws near I desire to express my sincere thanks to
the people of Fulton County for the trust and confidence w}n(:h have been
reposed in me and my deputies by our election to the Sheriff’s office, We
have made a concerted effort to render a service unequaled, and those
having business with the Sheriff’s office daily testify to the promptness,
courtesy and efficiency with which we have transacted the same.
We claim no especial eredit for having done our duty; that is what we
were elected for, wilat our oath of office prescribes, what the people ex
pect, what we have done and what we will continue to do so long as we re
main in office. Had we not done so in the past and did not intend to do 80 in
the future, we would be unworthy of the high trust placed in our keeping.
The laws of Georgia preseribe the duties of a Sheriff, and leave him
practically without discretion; the law is plainly laid down to him, and
when he fails to track it he does so at his peril. “To be sympathetic, gen
tle and kind is his duty and privilege, vet firmness is the mandate of the
law. A Sheriff can not make or ignore the law; he is sworn and bonded to
execute and abide it, and any man who promises to do otherwise is un
worthy the office or confidence of the people.
We pitched our campaign on a high plane and have kept it there, al
though at times we are being unjustly assailed by irresponsible parties
and the provocation to strike back has been great. Many misleading
statements have been and are being made in the ho;»e of accomplishing
our defeat, and I desire to state here and now that I am informed that
within the next day or so certain parties are prep to come out more
boldly with charges and insinuations that are absolutely without founda
tioz,g and are to be made for the sole purpose of bolstering up a losing
ticket.
I trust that our friends will be on their guard and not allow these
eleventh-hour charges to influence them in the least. Neither myself nor
associates have said an unkind word about our opponents—we do not
know enough about them one way or the other to judge of their fitness or
ability to fill the office of Sheriff—nor do we propose to enter into any
mud-slinging contest.
Our record is before vou, it has been passed upon and indorsed by
the people in the past, and we feel absolutely sure that it will be indorsed
again on election day by a larger majority than we have ever received be
fore.
We have not neglected the duties of the office to further our cam
paign, nor are we promising jobs that we know we can not deliver. Our
promise to all the people is to serve you under the law to the very best of
our ability, and for proof that we have done this in the past we proudly
point to the fact that we are receiving the hearty support of nine-tenths of
those with whom we have had business dealings. +his I 8 a record of
which any set of men should be proud, and should spur them on to nobler
efforts and greater achievements.
Much to our regret we have been unable to see personally all the
voters of the count(, but we have felt that our first duty was to attend to
the business p in our keeplng by the people. We are truly thankful
and grateful for rut support, and assure you that, if re-elected, we will
render the same faithful, conscientio us, prompt, courteous and efficient
service in the future that we have in the past.
We are absolutely confident of our re-election if our friends will not
neglect t:_&o to the &lh and vote. The question is not who will be the
next Sheriff, but what will be Mangum's majority.
My deputies join me in the above assurances, and beg of you to re
member that a vote for me is a vote for them. Again we thank vou for
past support and earnestly solicit vour vote and influence on election da

Very respectfully yours,

a
To the Voters of Fulton County
On Friday you will vote for two Commissioners.
As a candidate for one of these two places, I am soliciting
your vote and influence—while it is true that I have lived in the
Second Ward, on the South Side, for 30 years—l will under
take to represent all portions of the city and county impartially
and fairly, as is the sworn duty of a Commissioner.
During my service in the City Council, it was a part of my
duties to pass on the street work, hence my experience will be
of great value in handling road work on the County Board.
I shall use ever{ possible effort in affording immediate relief
to the many negwf.cted sections, in grading and paving the roads
and streets NOW in bad condition, while favoring the prompt
paving of the neglected main roads and thoroughfares; espe
cially do I intend to see that the main roads or streets leading
to our cemeteries are paved promptly and kept in first-class con
dition after they are paved.
I own no land or property which needs developing!
I am in favor of reducing the taxes—which can be done by
a businesslike and economical administration of the COUNTY
AFFAIRS. Respectfully,
C. D. KNIGHT
