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.” AS TO BASKETBALL NOTICES.

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. LOCAL BASEBALL MOGULS OFF FOR THE METROPOLIS 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 | with Us great tennis courts, golf course. | 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.

(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.
