Golfer Loses His Skill.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 24-"Big
George" Nicholson, popular and fire.
quent golfer at East Lake, is off his
drive. George has mighty arm and
a powerful swing, and it used to be
that when he took his stand and yell
ed ''Fore!" caddies 800 yards away
would look ofor cover until the danger
was over, for while George could hit
'em mile he was what is technically
known as wild"
Well, the other day he lost his
skill and began to tear up the dirt
with his driver, hitting under the ball
so that the force was lost and instead
of going straight, the ball would shoot
skyward. Since he developed the new
fault George has been knocking moth
ing but nearly vertical pop-fiies, and
yesterday afternoon coming sadly off
the course he was heard to remark in
chastened and softened tine:
81 used to hit em straight down
the course, but now before drive,
feel like looking straight up into the
sky and whispering:
