ATLANTA WANTS
 DIXIE GOLFERS

Atlanta, January 1o-(Special)-Th At lanta Athletic club is going to offer the golfers of the south an invitation tourna- ment this year that will be a hummer.
 The date has not been set as yet nor have the conditions been decided upon, but the prizes will be handsome and the East Lake course, longest and sportiest in the south, will be in practically perfect condition for the first time in it's career.
 Not only will the Atlanta club give tournament open to all southern golfers, but it will also hold a special invitation event for Georgia golfers. Representatives will be here from Macon, Savannah, Au- gusta Athens and Darien, and while they are here playing for the championship they will organize the Georgia Golf asso- citation.
 This association will be the second state association of the south. Texas now has one that is very successful and holds a big tournament each year.
 The Atlanta club is also planning to play team matches with number of the best clubs in the south, and Is al ready negotiating for washington's birth day and Memorial Day dates with the Birmingham team.
 The same sad uncertainty about the place of the next southern golf champion ship still exists. he Memphis club has made formal application for the honor of holding 1t for a second time in sue cession, and as no other club in the southland seems to be ready for 1t this year. Memphis will doubtless get it. In 1910 there is likely to be scramble for the event. with Atlanta, Louisville, Chat tanooga and Nashville In the hunt for the honor

 Nashville of course. has not yet been heard from. They open the league with the Birmingham Y. M. c. A in Nashville on January 2e, and they may develop pen nant winning qualities. Montgomery ap- parently has one of the weakest teams in the league. They cannot play a scientific game, and are only able to win with football tactics.
 With anything like a decent referee the Birmingham Y. M. c. A. could have won from them Friday on their own floor. If President Fry removes Referee Green. as he no doubt will, and a competent. quick official acts in the future, both the Birmingham Athletic club and the Mobile team should get a walkover in the Cap ital City.
 Montgomery depends almost entirely on Susong, a guard, to throw goals, and when that is broken up, with a good guard on Meyers, who Is the best forward. they are surrounded. This seems to he the dope at present. Of course, any of the teams may be crippled by the injury of man, or they may be greatly strengthened unexpectedly. It is the big uncertainty of the result which makes basketball so interesting.
 One noticeable fact in connection with this season is that in every game which has been played between southern organ izations. with the one exception of Van derbilt-Atlanta, the home team has won. This, of course does not include the Notre Dame trip. There Is so much difference in the floors that the home team has big advantage.
 Results in the Southern league so far are as follows: Birmingham Y. M. c. A. 30, Montgomery 29; Birmingham Athletic club 45, Birmingham Y. M. c. A. 19 Mont gomery 30, Birmingham Y. M. c. A. 22: Mobile 72, Birmingham Y. M c. A. 26 The next game is on January IA, when the Bir- gomery

THE RANKING OF
 TENNIS PLAYERS
By PERCY H. WHITING.

Atlanta, January 10.-(Special 1.-The ranking of the southern tennis players for 1908 is as follows:
 Singles: First, Nat Thornton, At lanta; second, M. c. Whitehead, Nor folk; third, Cowan Rodgers, Knoxville; fourth, B. M. Grant, Atanta fifth, s. C. Williams, Atlanta; sixth, J. o. Winston, Norfolk; seventh, Andley Post, New Or leans; eighth, Carleton Smith, Atlanta; tenth, D. V. Carter Jr., Atlanta.
 Doubles: First, Whitehead and Win ston, Norfolk; Grant and Thornton, At lanta Smith and Howell, Atlanta; Rogers and Farrell, Knoxville and Nashville; Lo- gan and Post, New Orleans; Carter and Middlebrooks, Atlanta.
 This ranking is not the official an- nouncement of the ranking committee of the Southern Lawn Tennis association, as that body has not published the ever-be- lated document.
 However, when the official ranking ap- pears 1t will be found pr' ctically Identical with this.
 Atlanta shows the same prominence in the tennis ranking that New Orleans does at golf Five of the first 10 in singles and three of the first six in doubles are Atlantans.
 These rankings were based on the re- suits of the tournaments of the southern circuit, and only those players and teams which took part in at least two events were ranked.
 Three men are ranked in singles this year who are newcomers among the first 10. They are H. G. Whitehead and J. o. Winston, the doubles champions, and F. V. Carter, Jr., the present intercollegiate champion Whitehead and Winston dropped out of the clouds into the last southern championship at Atlanta, and ir- ritated the talent by winning the doubles event, furnishing the runner-up in the singles. Carter is University of Georgia man, who blossomed out this year for the first time as real contender for south- ern championship honors. He won the intercollegiate title with ease, and will compete for it again next spring.
 A decided change in the doubles rank ing of this year resulted from two things, that the Norfolk team entered the south ern championship and that Charles Rodg- CTS did not play with his brother Cowan in the doubles event. Carter and Middle brooks also broke into the ranking for the first time on the strength of winning the intercollegiate title and of doing fine work in the southern championship. The year of 1908 was a fine one for southern tennis, the best one it ever had, by long odds. All the old tournaments were played with big success, the only change among the fixtures being that the Tennessee championship was played in Knoxville instead of Nashville. The new tournament was the championship of the Carolinas, which was played at Green vile, s. c.
 The prospects for the coming season could not easily be better All of the regular tournaments will be played and the southt circuit will attract more good players than ever before.

NO FEAR OF STATE
 WIDE PROHIBITION

New Orleans, January 1o.-tspT .dL)- While the people of Louisiap< Ire de- termined to restrict the polr influence of the saloon interests to that end the legislature has enacted a law known as the GayShattuck law for the regula- tion of saloons and tho reduction of their number, some further legislation will probably be found necessary before per manent solution of the liquor problems can be found. The law in question did not receive the careful consideration that should have been given it, and does not discriminate between a properly conduct ed restaurant, social club or cafe, and low-class dive or brothel. As a result much confusion now exists in New Or leans, the district attorney having brought suit against the Grunewald hotel. the Chess, Checkers and Whist clubs. the Boston club and the Pickwick club be- cause they are located within 300 feet of church, but as yet nothing has been done to enforce the law against hun dreds of objectionable saloons which the framers of the law desired to put out of business.
 The district attorney says he desires to begin at the top rather than at the bottom In the end probably 300 saloons will be closed in New Orleans as a re- suit of the new law, and at the next session of the legislature it is probable changes in the law will be advocated which will further regulate objectionable places, but which will be less harsh on properly conducted hotels, restaurants and on social clubs.
 The better class of people in New Or leans are determined that the sale of whisky shall be adequately regulated even if prohibition is necessary, but careful students of the situation do not think the commonwealth will have to go that far.

MR. HEFL|N URGES
 COTTON TAX BILL
Would Support Any Measure
 to Return Money
THINKS 1T DUE THE SOUTH
Mir. Heflin Expresses Confidence That Alabama Would Appropriate Her Surplus Share In the Build
 ing of Good Roads.

Washington, January 10.-(Special.) .)-Re- sponding to the call of Representative Clark of Florida, chairman of the cot ton tax committee, composed of one mem Der from each of the cotton states, the committee held meeting tonight to dis cuss the several bills before it. MT. lief lin of Alabama said in connection with the matter:
 'This is opportune time for this com mittee to go to work earnestly and per sistently to convince Congress that our cause is just, that this cotton tax was levied and collected in violation of the federal constitution, and that this gov ernment is too great and good to per init this money wrongfully and unlaw- fully obtained from our people to re- main longer in the federal treasury. My bill and several others for the return of this cotton tax are pending before the war claims committee. If we can't agree on any one of these bills let this commit tee frame bill and then let all of us get behind the bill and work in sea- son and out of season for it's passage.
 While the chairman of this committee did me the honor to say in his mag nificent speech on the cotton tax subject in the House that had brought the mat ter to the attention of the country, and had revived interest in the subject by introducing the first bill for the return of the cotton tax that had been intro duced in recent years, I want to say, that while 1t would gratify me personally for my bill to pass and become law, the paramount desire with me is to secure this legislation, and to that end l am willing to support any bill that this com mittee will recommend When the bill is agreed upon I think that this com mittee should prepare an address setting forth our cause, let 1t be brief and strong. and let us place a copy in the hands of every member of Congress.
 ''Let us acquaint them with the history of this cotton tax, with all the facts connected with it, and if we do that I believe that they will agree with us that this cotton tax money should be returned. I know that there is some difference of opinion among members as to how this money when returned should be used in. the several states. Ten million dollars of this money will go to Alabama, and while I want to see every dollar of it used for building and improving public roads, am willing to support bill which simply provides that the money shall be paid over to the states; that is, after individual claims have been paid. I am sure that the legislature of Alabama would appropriate this fund for road pur- poses"

SHERIFF VAN PELT GETS VERY BUSY Enforces Old Blue Laws to the
 Letter
BOTTLES UP PENSACOLA
Old Town Has Horrible Nightmare. The Officer, However, Is Limited In Operation By County
 Attorneys Decision.

Pensacola, Fla, January 1o-The Florida blue laws were strictly enforced today in Pensacola, Sheriff Van Pelt's or, der to arrest all persons attempting to perform Sunday work, being limited only by the instructions of the county solicitor who advised him yesterday that he would have no right to stop the operation of trains, street cars and public hacks, the solicitor holding that these were public necessities.
 Prominent business men, upon leaving their offices, where they had gone to read their morning mail, were placed under ar rest and tomorrow morning will be ar raigned on charges of violating the law prohibiting working on the Sabbath. All stores, including fruit stands, soft drink establishments, etc., were closed, and not even a cigarette could be purchased.
 Sheriff Van Pelt with a large number of deputies was out early this morning and decidedly close watch was kept in the business section, strict orders having been given the deputies to arrest every person observed working or who attempted 10 perform any work.
 The enforcement of the blue laws, some of which are more than 50 years old, is due to the announced determination of the sheriff to put stop to criticism which has been made of him for his alleged laxness in enforcing laws during the past two years. Having just entered upon a second term, Sheriff Van Pelt announced that he thought he would be able to put a stop to criticism of his official conduct, but the people of Pensacola never dreamed that he would close the city up as tightly as he did today.
 The action of the county solicitor in ad- vising the sheriff that he must not at tempt to prevent the operation of street cars, public hacks, etc, was not at all pleasing to Sheriff Van Pelt, as he was determined to put stop to absolutely everything pertaining to or calling for work on the Sabbath.
 Naturally, the sheriff has not succeeded by his actions today in putting stop to criticism of himself.
 There are some who approve or his de- termination to enforce the blue laws, but there are many who are opposed to any such action, and it is likely that there will be a bitter fight in the courts to test the constitutionality of the old laws.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE STANDING.


 The Southern Basketball league is now in full blast Four games have been played before great crowds. Enthusiasm around the circuit is running high. The league teams are composed of fine gentle manly fellows who know the game and can put up as pretty an exhibition as Is to be seen anywhere
 The Birmingham r. M. c. A. went east and suffered defeat on foreign floors. The association has not played without spirit as some might judge from the scores They have the disadvantage of practicing on their own floor, which is so entirely different from any other on the circuit as to make it difficult to work where there are no out of bounds. They have only one other visit to make, Nashville, and will then be on the receiving line, where they are certainly to be reckoned with for a stiff fight. There will be no piling up of scores against them on the local floor
 To one who has seen all the games yet played in the league 1t would seem from present indications that the fight for the rag will be between the Birmingham Ath- letic club and the Mobile boys. The locals have undoubtedly a strong aggregation and will probably defeat any team on their own floor.
 However, Mobiles squad is made up of giants, with center that can get the knock-off anywhere, and is coached by the captain of Wabash's winning team of last year. The Birmingham Y. M. c. A. played Mobile harder, more consistent game than they did the Athletic club, yet Mobile won by much bigger score. Be-
