Getting Out of Town; Thirty
Minutes to Municipal Border

Judge Church suggested to Coones
that there was Il great demand fol-
harvest hands in The country distric,
at present. and thai it might be a good
thing for all parties if he would AID
the farmers in their work Of feeding
the world.
Cooney didn't show any great en-
thusiasm over the idea. but finally
decided that it was preferable t.
spending twenty days in Jail.
The Judge told him that he had
just thirty minutes in which to get
out of town. and when last seen Coo
ney was hitting n ten mile an hour
clip along westward Alpha avenue
while Chief Lowe held the stop watch

Athens MayLose Grid
Game Between Georgia
And Louisiana S.U.

ATHENS, GA, Jan. 31.-The foot
ball game that Georgia has scheduled
with Louisiana State university for
Athens on October II will probably be
transferred to New Orleans, according
to authoritative reports here.
This game was scheduled under an
excessive guarantee and it is feared
that on account of 1t coming so very
early In the season that Athens will not
give it the support necessary and that
1t would were it on the schedule later
on IN the season when the really big
games are being played all over the
country.
If this game is transferred to New
orleans it means that the local football
lovers will not be afforded, but one
hrst-class game. the one with North
Carolina, and, despite the heavy guar
antee, there will be an effort made to
retain the game for the local field.

GOLF DEVELOPS
EVERY MUSCLE,
SAYS EVANS
Bv "Chick'' Evans.

western Amateur Golf Champion0
1T always has been considered one
of the advantages of golf that
all the muscles are more or
less exercised in that game and
none unduly developed. Certainly
golfers as a class have not large,
knotty muscles, and it has even
been said that excessive muscular
development is a handicap in golf
l learned in this connection some
very interesting facts from D. e.
Sawyer, Western amateur cham
pion in 1908. He has been doing
good deal of wrestling this winter
and has taken daily exercise in a
gymnasium. Wrestling is sup
posed to uncover ones weakest
points and Mr.. Sawyer was rather
curious about his. For years he
had. taken no physical exercise ex-
cept golf and he had often Won
dered what muscles play the most
important part in that game.
Sawyer an Original Player.
To Mr.. Sawyer's surprise, he
found in wrestling that his fore
arm and wrists tired first and that
the shoulders and upper arms were
the strongest. l can not believe
that would be true of the majority
Of golfers.
Mr.. Sawyer is a fine golfer and he
plays in a most original manner.
He plays his long drives and his
brassies with his right foot back of
his left, which is done by few
other golfers. At the time of exc
cution he sways more than any one
l know, and that brings in play the
muscles of his shoulders and upper
arm. Furthermore. his long, hard
shots are all played with a palmed
grip and l think in that fact lies
much of the development of those
upper muscles. / use the finger
grip and l feel my strength in the
forearm. The baseball player grips
his bat in the palm, and in conse-
quenCe the upper arm is largely
developed.
The man who fingers his club
uses his sense of touch to a great
degree. and l aIn very sure that in
such players the forearm and wrist
are stronger
Golf Requires Smooth Muscles.
l have never tested my strength
by wrestling, but l fancy that l am
stronger on my right side than the
left because when l am playing
well l feel my whole light side 60
ing into the ball 1t is interesting
to know what muscles are affected
by golf playing. Yet, enormous
muscular strength is not nearly so
great a factor in golf as in other
games.
Smooth muscles like wires Of
steel that mean endurance are nee
essary to good golf but beyond that
judgment, touch and rhythm rule
supreme.

STRANG IS NOW A REGULAR
SINGER; COMES HOME SOON

PARIS, Jan. 31.-Samuel Strang Nick
lin. of Tennessee, has developed from a
baseball trainer in America to lyric ar
fist in Paris
He began playing ball in Cedar Rap
ids and later. as Sammy Starang, played
with the Chicago team. In 1905 he
played with the New York Giants, being
one of the greatest of pinch hitters.
He used to cheer the team with song
and got the reputation of having a good
voice. Finally he gave up baseball. came
to Paris and studied singing with Oscar
Seagle and finished with Jean DeReszke.
In order to get money enough to pur-
sue his studies without asking his rich
father, he coached the West Point team.
Under his training West Point won its
big game four years in succession from
the navy team
In February Nicklin will visit his
home town chattanooga and in March
he will coach the West Point team for
the last time

pounds They were to have gone
six rounds
The day before the match was to
have been decided public announce
ment was made that the affair was
called off because Johnson could
not make the weight. This was
good way of getting from ,under.
but didn't represent the real facts
in the case.
AS a matter of cold -blooded real
lty, 1t was the governors quiet in
huence with the board of governors
of the Olympic club that squelched
the ambitious and athletic Archie.
-Four days before the contest the
governor, in Sacramento, hap
pened to see a story in a San Fran
cisco paper about his sons inten-
tions. The governor said nothing
publicly, but called Archie on the
long distance phone and a stormy
interview is said to have resulted
The boy reiterated his intention of
going on with his plans, said he
was in fine shape, there was moth
ing to fear, that he could win that
it was too late to withdraw, and
when his father insisted that he
wanted the thing called off the
young man made the fiat statement
that he was of age and would do as
he pleased.
The governor closed the inter
view with the statement:
But always remember that am
your father"
Two days later Archie was called
before the board of governors and
told that he bout was off The
boxer stormed about and raised a
terrible fuss said it couldn't be
done, he was his own boss, etc, But
just the same, a few hours later,
the announcement was made pub
licly that the bout was off because
Johnson was overweight Now, the
fight fans are wondering what the
governor said when he called up the
club officials.

MURPHY MODIFIES HIS

CHICAGO, Jan. S1.-Modifications of

Murphy. Drinking to excess will not ,be

that h. d yer been dreamed Of by
most people. He went duck shooting
down the Potomac River. He started

and reminded his grandpapa that he
had promised TO go hunting with him
and that he was already late. Mr..
BRYAN looked over his desk. found
nothing important and then left the
department with his grandson.
There is hope in Washington tonight
