creased interest. Perhaps it will
serve to wake up Atlanta players.
But anyhow, from now on Atlanta
will have to hustle for its position
in the Southern tennis world.
THE hope Of Atlanta in golf anS

players have learned to perform

age, male or female, in all the
South. But there are a lot of boys,
just getting into their teens. who
have been handling golf clubs and
tennis racquets since they were

they will be battling to uphold the
honor and glory of Atlanta in sec

In this younger generation will be
many, perhaps, who will be in the
leisure class-or, at least, in the
semi-leisure class. For it will take
several generations to work out of
Atlantans that spirit of hustle that
has made the city great in business
and weak in amateur athletics.

Juneau, July li-Under ex- .oeedlngly unfortunate eondi- tions the team lost to Juneau by score of nine Ia four to- day. The rain was boring down and the field which is dirt one was slippery and mud .dy. Harry Fisher of the Ju- neau Hardware Company um- pired the game and gave rot ten decisions from start to fin- ish. He was manifestly i'm partial because many even of the Juneau people were dis satisfied with his rulings. Don
 Atkinson pitched a good game and held himself together i'll fine style under difficulties al though the whole team hand led itself in fine form il could not defeat the combined ef- forts of the Juneau team and the umpire.
