- eres Always Danger of a Big Blowup When Yol Start to Bubblé Over With joy
+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-
I son of the year the young man's
fancy turns to thoughts of Mw',!
but we golfers know that our fflllnwi
players, whose love affalrs are m(c]}"
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 hurming question
“Here,” says John Jones, “I havm‘
been playing for ten years, and yet
John Smith, who only began goif last
year, is doing better than 1. Indeed, |
myself played better the first year
than I am doing now.' '
The golfers who speak thus are le
glon, and they invariably declded to
do certain very strenuous things to
improve thelr game. These resolu
tions are rarely kept. The golfers
learn that it is not the man who pluyn'
every day and many hours of the dayt
who improves his game. In fact, he
may be merely confirming some ex-|
tremely bad habits, Before the uoa-'
son is half over our golfer who cher
ished mighty ambitions in the spring
is saying: "I only played for exer
elses Anyhow.” Yet, we all know the
exercise of skill gives a joy passing
understanding. .
The other day a friend, speaking to|
me in regard to his desire to improve
his game for 1916, raised an Interest
ng point. He said: “I am just crazy
10 play good golf, and ll'want to take
Jessons from the best professional
teacher in Atlanta. Who is he?”
- . .
NAT['RAI.LY. the first thing one
thinks of in this connection is
instruction, and this golfer wanted the
best obtainable. He is a member of
one of the big clubs in this district,
but he had lost confidence in the in
structor at his club—and it Is, Indeed,
true that one instructor differs largely
from another in his abliity to teach.
I, however, could not say who is the
best teacher, even supposing that 1
Pold a decided private opinion on that
subject, for most of the teachers here-
Abouts are my friends.
The ambitious golfer surely should
rt some instruction, but unless he is
millionaire he should not use the
“pro” merely as a means of practicing.
A good, honest pro ecan give one
- #nough information in ten scattered
lessons, after the fundamentals have
. Been learned. to make a vast improve-
Mment In ahyvone's game,
Between lessons, practice must be
kept up systematicaly, for 80 per cent
of the improvement must come from
the pupil's own Industry; but this is
the matter for a future article
» - .
THI: interesting point with my golf
ing friend was whether a mem-
Ber of one elub could enjoy the in
g’uemm of a professional employed
another club. If John BSmith has
g confidence In the “pro” employed
his club, i= there any good reason
why he should be denied Instruction
By A teacher at another club?
Yet If a large number of the mem
bers of one club were uklng lessons
from the instructor at another club,
. the club members would object vigor
ously, for there is no doubt they would
e greatly inconvenienced

SCORE CARD FOR TODAY’S GAME
Jacob Abel, the Chattanooga glove.-
wielder, is in our midst once more. JaKe
arrived here yesterday morning, and
will be with ug until SBaturday afternoon,
when he willigo back home.
Abel was vO7 much surprised over
the outcome of the recent Britton-Lew
is bout ip New Orleans. “1 thou{‘ht
lewis would win sure,’”” chirped Jake,
“as he Is by far the best bo{ 1 have
ever watched in action, Britton must
surely be a wonder to take his meas
ure.'”
Jake says that his bout with Lewls
drew over ‘2.000 in Chattanooga, which

off under the auspices of the new Ran
dolph Rose Athletic Club,
Joe Levy, matchmaker of the Ran
dolph Rose A, C., Pluu to stage two
blfi bouts next month. The first ncnp‘
will probably be staged on May 17 and
will bflnr together Porky Flynn and
Jack Dillon. The other mill will be
g‘ulled off on May 30. Jake Abel and
att Wells is to be the card for this
date.
You've simply got to hand It to this
Jack Dillon ?arty. Tuesday nll':u he
took on Battl n‘( bevlnnk{ over the 15-
round route in Kansas City, and Dillon
rroved that he is the Hebrew lad's mas
er. Jack won the decision in fifteen
rounds. y
Danny ™M n, who is managing Le
vinsky, mom he would turn uu? two
winners in one week, as Britton, also a
Morgan battler, won over Ted Lewls
last Monday nifht. Dillon, however,
would not have it that way, so Morgan
came through the fire with a 50-60 cut,
which is not bad, considering that Le
vln-k{ should remain a card despite his
defeat at the hands of Dillon.

As election day draws near I desire to express my sincere thanks to
the people of Fulton County for the trust and confidence Whl(:h have begn
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 elaim no especial eredit for having done our duty; that is what we
were elected for, what our oath of office preseribes, 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 prescribe the duties of a Sheriff, and leave him
practically without diseretion; the law is plainly laid down to him, and
when he fails to track it he does so at his peril. To be sympathetice, 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. X
We pitched our campaign on a high plane and have kept it there, al
though at times we are being unjustly assailed by irremonnaible parties
and the provocation to strike back has been great. y misleading
statements have been and are being made in the hoPo of accomplishing
our defeat, and I desire to state here and now that am informed that
within the next day or so’certain parties are preparin* to come out more
boldly with charges and insinuations that are absolute y without founda
tioz, 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 ma jority than we have ever received be
fore.
We have not neglected the duties of the office to further our ecam
paign, nor are we promising jobs that we know we ean not deliver. Our
promise to all the people is to serve vou 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 suprn‘t of nine-tenths of
those with whom we have had business dealings. his is 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 county, but we have felt that our first duty was to attend to
the business placec{ in our keeping by the people. We are truly thankful
and grateful for rut support, agg assure you that, if re-elected, we will
render the same faithful, conscientious, 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 tm to the glb 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 vou to re
member that a vote for me is a vote for them. Again we thank you for
past support and earnestly solicit your vote and influence on election dax
~—Friday, April 38th. ~ :
Very respectfully yours,

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 Commissioper.
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 rogd work on the County Board.
I shall use every possible effort in affording immediate relief
to the many neglected 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. g
-1 own no land ot 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,
