New York, 2)ec, 7.—The one topi,
on vernation among horsemen today
was the sensational attack made by '*5.
K. Smathers, the millionaire sportsman
who has just been absolved of all sus
picion of unsportsmanlike conduct In
the famous trotting race between Ma
jor Deimar and Lou Dillon, on C. K. }
Hillings, also a millionaire. The latter
wns Lou Dillon, while Mr. Smathers
us*l to point to Major Del mar as
choicest of his equine pets.
HmaUiers was charged with having
hired a man to dope Lou Dillon, but the
National Trotting Association could not
see It that way, and vindicated him.
Jubilant over his victory. Smathers,
surrounded by friends, made the fol
lowing declaration:
‘‘Hillings Is a counterfeit and a four-
flusher. He has a wider yellow streak
in him than there wus in Lou Dillon.
He Is no sportsman. He always played
the baby act. He did it at the horse
show. I say all these things because I
want Billings, who Is in New York, to
know that I am here.
“The testimony showed that Billings
was dealing with a gang of perjurers
and crooks, and he got his just de
serts.”

frowned on the fighting game and it Is

BY PERCY H. WHITING.
The writer is informed by George Adair, president of the
Atlanta Athletic Club, tlint the Georgia Electric and Railway
Company is nt present completing plans, rearranging schedules
and improving equipment with a view pf giving a first class serv
ice from Atlanta to the Atlanta Athletic Club's great amusement
plant nt East Lake.
Sir. Adair states that the street railway company is expend
ing considerable time and money in its effort to give the Athlet
ic Club a good sendee and that when the new schedule is put in
operation it will be the fastest possible under the existing con
ditions.
This news is welcome.
The athletic club has at East Lake as fine a country club
“proposition” as any organization in the South and as fine an op
portunity as any in the country.
Nearly $20,000 has already been subscribed toward a club
house and the money is rolling in fast. Tho wealthy members of.
the club have subscribed liberally and those to whom money is
something more of a novelty are also doing their share, aided by a
subscription plan which provides for small monthly payments.
When the club house is built and the new golf course put in
the perfect condition in which it will be before a great while the
East Lake department of the Atlanta Athletic Club will be the
most popular country club in the South.
The tennis courts arc completed and in perfect condition, tho
golf course is nearing perfection with leaps ami bounds, and the
work of raising the money for the club house is progressing with
noticeable rapidity. All these factors are fast combining to as
sure the club’s success.
With the new car service, the new club house, the best golf
course and the best tennis courts in the South the East Lake Club
is going to be the greatest the South has ever known and u suc
cess beyond even the expectations of its founders.

Members of Athletic Club
Will Form a Summer Colony
Atlanta Iium seen all aorta of real
estate booms, but one of the most re
markable Is tin* one which ban hit the
land around the Atlanta Athletic Club’s
property at Hast Lake.
As soon as the members of the club
saw that the new elub was going to be
a success, there was a dash for land
and on the many lots bought during
the present summer and fall neat little
houses will be erected and used ns
summer residences.
Among those who have bought lots
who will build houses before warm
weather hits Atlanta next summer are
George Adair, Forrest Adair, Thomas
Paine, R. M. Grant, R. A. Pulmer and
Lowry Arnold. These men wore the
pioneers and they will no doubt be*fol
lowed by a large number of others.
All those who have recently bought
lots intend to build at once and have
their houses ready for occupancy next
summer. Most of these houses will
face the car line and the athletic club’s
grounds.
This colony promises to be a great!
success. The residents In Bust Lake
will have the advantage of a delightful
location with a good car service to the
city, the use of the Athletic Club plant |

trap shooting grounds and the boating j
and bathing privileges of the lake. {
At the rate plans are being mude now |
It will not be surprising to see fifteen
or twenty houses going up around tho
club property next spring.

’Savannah. (Ja., Dec. 7.—At a meeting
of the Savannah football team yester
day afternoon It wan decided to se
cure, If possible, the services of Coach
Whitney, of the University of Georgia
n, to drill the men In preparation
for the game which they will have with
Charleston on Christmas and New-
Year's day.
•ouch Whitney has many friends
among the alumni In Savannah, who
appreciate tho work which he did for
the Georgia squad during the college
ason Just past. It Is believed that
‘ will accept the proposition to conch
the tenin for the three weeks. The ma
terial Is very much better than that
which* he had at Georgia and It is
thought he can work a wonderful
change in the team.
Couch Forsythe Is busy marshalling
the all-star team which will represent
Charleston on the dates mentioned. Un
less Savannah plays a very remarkable
game she will not be able to score on
the aggregation which Forsythe prom
ises to bring over, but the populace
here has grown weary of Savannah’s
continuous victories and would rath
er see her defeated by a line team than
have her win ugainsl a team of medi
ocre caliber.
