ATLANTA OPENS
On THE ROAD

~HATTANOOGA. TENN, Jan.
27,-The schedule for the
1913 season of the Southern
league has been drafted, but this
one statement is the sum total of
the information which can be
gained from the members of the
schedule committee as regards
their assiduous lSbors in the Hotel
Patton from 10 o'clock Saturday
morning until the wee sma' hours
of the sabbath
The schedule has been drafted,
and. according to President O. 3.
Andrews, of the local club, drafted
in such a way that all will be salts
fed.
The demand of the Atlanta Base
ball association that the schedule
be so compiled as to eliminate short
Saturday games gave the commit
tee no little trouble. but the com
pliers believe that all has been ar
ranged satisfactorily.
one item upon the schedule which
Atlanta and Chattanooga fans and
to the league in general, because of
the intensity of the hostilities
which win ensue, is that the Crack
ers are reasonably certain to open
the league season in this city. There
has been no positive assurance of
this fact other than the remark of
President Andrews that the local
club got all the scheduled favors
it asked The chief favor wanted
by the "Noogans." however was al
ready known to be an opening date
with Atlanta and holiday games
away from this city.
Holiday games will no longer be
secured for this burg, because of
the lack of adequate street car ia
cilitieS. 1t was further assured
that either Atlanta or Nashville
would be the opening attraction
and with but these two to pick
from it is not surprising that the
Crackers were the attraction want
ed by the local club for the first
day.
one other bit of knowledge
which was gained was that the
Chattanooga club would be at home
during the Confederate reunion on
May 81, % and 30, and that the
Dobbers will be the opposing team.
Those that attended the schedule
meeting We're President Andrews,
of the local club; President Cole
man, of Memphis Cholly Frank, of
the Pels; Secretary Colssen, of the
Mobile club and Secretary Jacob
son. of the Southern league. John
ny Dobbs, the Montgomery mogul,
was also present at the sessions.

Chick Evans Writes
On What It Costs to
Playthe Game Of Golf
BY "Chick" Evans.
Western Amateur Golf Champion,


4 AUTOMATICALLY inclined
~ golfer has furnished me with
an interesting table setting
forth the cost of playing golf, per
hole, per game and per stroke for
the average player. Every item of
expense is ca fully set down and
nothing extenuated.
Whether such a table is an en-
courag cement to play more or less is
a question leave others to decide,
The table, repeat, is interesting
and suggestively instructive. and
we can readily see there is "A chance
to reduce the expenses somewhat.
and a very great opportunity to in
crease them.
Lightning caIculators can now
get to work and see how they
stand Following are the mans
figures;
Season. 1912; April IS to Deem
Der IA, inclusive:
1872 .9-hole games equals LIPS
holes.
1,72S holes equals 1885 strokes.
1885 strokes equals 3,542 puts,
1,75S drives and 1855 irons.
3,542 divided by LES makes an
average of 2.04976 puts per hole.
1895 divided by LIPS makes an
average of 6.299 strokes per hole.
1885 divided by 1872 makes an
average of $1,000 strokes per game.
The expenses at two clubs and
one mercantile association and as
a guest, including dues, three lock-
ers, railroad, house accounts, cad
dies, balls, clubs, repairs and guests,
for eight months play We're $216.2O.
The real figures follow:
Average cost per 9-hole game,
$1.12.
Average cost per 1S-hole game,
$2.25.
Average cost per stroke, $0O196S1.
For an exceptional player the
cost per game and per hole would
be the same, but the cost per stroke
would be more, since he would take
few strokes.
