Boys for All-Star
Show Here on Feb. 6

Harry Staten is not to be denied
in his effort to secure the very best
boys for his all-star show on Feb
ruary 6. Harry has signed Eddie
Hanlon to meet Mickey Cannon, tha
tough Pittsburg welterweight, in his
ten-round bout, and the boys should
put up a merry battle.
Eddie is coming TO the front in rap
id strides lately, and II he beats Gan
non he will be in line for matches
with the best of them. Cannon is a
tough boy and will make Eddie step
at his best.
Staten made another good move
when he secured Jimmy Grant, the
fast bantam, and kid" Young. the
newsboy champion, for bouts. Grant
will probably meet Spider" Britt
while Young fights kid" Goldman
Grant and Young need no introduce
ton here, as both boys have put uY
great fights before Atlanta boxing
followers before.
A four-round opener win also be
put on, which means that four good
bouts will comprise the card. All. the
boys are training hard and should be
in great shape. kid" Young, who
has won his last three fights, is work
ing hkeSa beaver in an effort to gel
in the best of condition.

EVANS LAUDS GOLF
As AID To HEALTH
Expert Declares 0pen-Air Sport
Provides Needed Relaxation
for Business Men.
By Chick Evans.

TT is a firm belief OF mine that golf
is a life saver for the average
business man. 1t Is on the links
that the mental tension that precedes
nervous prostration is relaxed and
the physical exercise and fresh air so
needed by the office worker are found
Very few men can be induced to take
long walks with no special object in
view, but a pleasant game in pleasant
company appeals to, the play instinct
in man and gives him use of all his
muscles and invlgorating draughts
of pure air and good circulation Of
blood will free us from most bodily
ills.
1t is always agreeable to have ones
beliefs confirmed, and q speech OF
DR.. Mackenzie in proposing the toast
of Golf at a dinner given by the
Yorkshire, England, golfers shows
that the special view OF the medical
men supports that of the unscientiic
observer.
Golf Prescribed by. Doctors.
II seems that some one had said
that golf was responsible for many
nervous breakdowns DR. Mackenzie
said he thought the originator of that
sentiment must have been an inventor
Of patent medicine, for the doctor as
serted the therapeutic value of golf
was greater than any drug in the
British Pharmacopoeia. He himself
frequently prescribed golf for his pa
TENTS, and whenever they followed
his prescription, taking their medicine
regularly and in increasing quanti-
ties. he had never seen them In bis
surgery again.
DIR. Mackenzie also told an interest
ing story of George Lascelles, who
played golf until he was we'll over
80. One day while playing at St.
Andrews with Old Tom Morris he
said: you and would play any two
men In the world whose combined
ages reached 100 years"
"Ah. mon. we'd play 'em for thou
sand poonds," responded Old Tom.
Professional Men Need 0anne.
DR.. Mackenzie also said that almost
every successful man OF his profess
sion was golfer; that it was always
the truly busy that had time for
everything.
81 He mentioned the case OF an old
friend OF his who was accustomed to
say that he was worth more to his
family alive than dead, and therefore
he was careful never to allow bust
ness to interfere with golf.
