THE STANDARD OF PURITY.
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
The East Lake property of the Atlanta Athletic Club is not
going to have the great popularity it deserves until the Georgia
Electric and Railway Co. gives some sort of service to and from
that point. Just at present they have an incipient, would-be,
near-service which would make a bishop cuss and an ordinary
mortal weep.
Barring the not-iufrequent occasions when the “junction
car” jumps the track or rattles itself to pieces there is a reason
ably regular schedule between East Lake and Atlanta.
But any lively walker could leave East Lake when the car
docs nnd beat it to Atlanta by ten blocks. ,
IIow eaclw car manages to consume 4.') minutes between
East Lake and Atlanta only the motor-men and the long suffering
patrons understand. But they do it every trip, whether they
need the time or not. They have procrastination redneed to an
exact science.
It is reported among Athletic Club members now and then
that the street car company has promised a better service.
Far be it from any of us to ask them to hurry, but:
That East Lake schedule is one example of what the public
gets under the present ownership of the traction lines and one
so-far unanswered argument in favor of municipal or any other
ownership but the present one.

Delaying You?
YOU know you’ve got to get a

Why put it off until the inevitable
rush ? The selection would be easy
now, particularly so with the ample

Why delay? Delays are danger

Neyv Orleans, La., Dec. B.—New Or

seasons of winter racing ever
In this country, dun principally
the fact of scores and scores of own-
who used to race In California having
refrained from taking the risk attend
ant on going out thero while turf mat
ters are In such an unsettled condition.
It appears the life of Ascot park, at
Los Angeles, Cal., is all hut expired.
The reformers have been after the
pretty course for two years notv, with
the result that a 30-day meeting, In
stead of the originally arranged 90-day
ierm, was announced somo time ago.
Later the Los Angeles management
declared racing would go on for the
full 80 days. In tho meantime, while
fretting and stewing over the prospect,
many an owner wlm had intended go
ing to Ascot park decided to take some
thing surer and nearer home, so New
Orleans was selected as the wintering
spot.
The earthquake upheaval -it San
Francisco nlso drew an army of pro
fessional race followers to New Or
leans.
Down In the old Creole metropolis,
the town Is Jammed full of racing and
sporting people, while some of the best
racing ever enjoyed In the South Is
being seen every day.
Undoubtedly. New Orleans Is the spot
to go to for a winter sporting vacation.
This year the “lid" has been lifted,
according to report, with the result
that the old-time faro clubs are run
ning every night and the cocking mains
at Southport, Le., are to be revived In
January.
Tho only Sunday race track In Amer-
lea—over at Suburban park, across
from the city—Is In full operation—
while corking geod boxlrg bouts arc
being served to the army of sports once
a week. With thirteen theaters, the
French opera, the best restaurants In
lho world, a mid-winter baseball league
and two race tracks, New Orleans has
Just about displaced San Francisco as
tho premier “night town" and America's
sporting paradise.
This Is the Southern city's banner
winter and no mistake.

FOOTBALL AUTHORITIES AT YALE
FAVOR FEW CHANGES IN RULES
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 5.—Frank Buttenvorth, Yale’* old football
player and conch, yesterday came out emphatically against further foot
ball change/*, except posslbly ordering seven men to stay In the rush
line. He *akl:
"It I* to he hoped that no further change* will be made In the
rules for *everal year*, uni**** It should be to require seven men In the
line and four back of It.
"As to danger, that will l»e lessened through the replacing of a
normal desire to play one** best, for the Intense effort to win."
Walter Uapip, Yale’s athletic advisor, yesterday started from a week’*
trip to Philadelphia, where ho conferred with prominent football of-
ficialM nnd saw the cloning game* of the season. He said that no move
hud been made to call a meeting of the rules committee. He Knew of
no plnn to hold a general meeting at Harvard r-oon. Mr. Camp believes
In making few changes in the rules, and la convinced that the public
la pleased with the game ast it stands.

I Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 5.—The
1 Elm Ridge race track of Kansas City
which waa closed os a result of the
passing of an anti-pool sailing law, will
probably reopen next spring because
of a decision which has been banded
down by the supreme court, holding
that the anti-pool selling law docs not
apply to races run In Kansas City when
I lets arc registered by telephone In
Kansas or another state.
Governor Folk said today:
"If an amendment Is necessary to
cover the new scheme of the book
maker to evade the law. It will be
recommended by me to the next leg
islature. Race track gambling Is dead
In Missouri, and the bookmakers may
as well realise that It cannot be resur
rected bv the use of the telephone or
any other device that a statute can be
made to cover."
John Qansel, tho new captain of the
Cincinnati Heds, is a much talked of
Ilian about the Red city. He Is expected
to make the team u big factor in the

WASN’T UP ON RULES!
The world’s series brought back tho
baseball fever to players who have tageen
out of tho game for years. Men who
In the press of business almost h/yl
forgotten there was such a game a-»
baseball, or that they evor had played
It, suddenly were seised with the.old
madness and became worse than a
crowd of schoolboys.
Etn Gross, the famous old Providence
catcher, who, perhaps, was ono of tin*
greutest hitters who ever swung a piece
of second-growth ash against horse
hide, suffered a relapse. Em only had
seen one professional game since 1884,
a few years after he quit baseball, and
ho was lame on modern baseball. In
the deciding game Em was In a box,
two White Hox were on bases and two
out. whefl Isbell slashed u tierce line
drive over first. The ball curved,
struck foul by a -few Inches and went
Into the crowd.
Strike two?" yelled, the umpire.
What?" yelled Gro«s, who was on
his feet yelling and swinging his hat.
"Sit down, you Idiot," remarked hi*
friend. "Don’t show your Ignorance."
'Was that a strike?" demanded Em.
Yes."
Well," remarked the, veteran slug
ger, "If any umpire called that a strike
on me I’d punch him In the nose.”-*
