FORE CRIES
BILLY SUNDAY
famous Evangelist Bal Ties 0M
Man Bogie to Nineteenth
Hole at Golf Club.
VIM, VlG0R AND VITALITY
;BY HAYS ClARK.)


Today is the day OF rest for Billy
Sunday and his party: the great
evangelist and the men of his party
are spending it as they always do
when the opportunity affords itself,
on the various athletic fields.
Mr.. Sunday, himself. spent the en-
tire morning on the links at the Golf
and Country club, playing with a
number of business men of the city.
He warned his guests to start with,
that he was not much of golf player
but after the first round the Chat
tanoogans found out this was false
tip, for they learned that the evan
gelist swung a wicked club. Mr.. Sum
day was accompanied to the golf
links by Mrs. sunday and Albert Pc
tersen, Pete" being the watchdog of
Mr.. Sundays health and welfare.
Never a moment when the evangelist
IS in public, that "Pete" is not right
around somewhere waiting and abid-
ing his time to do his masters call
ing.
While their "boss' as they all love
to call him, is enjoying golf, Robert
Matthews, Mr.. Sundays secretary;
H. H. Pitzer, his assistant and
"Rody" Rodeheaver. his choir leader,
were engaging in game of tennis at
the University Of Chattanooga cam
pus.
All three of Mr.. Sundays helpers
are athletes of the first magnitude.
and it is hard to tell who Is the cham
pion tennis player of the bunch. The
athletics engaged in by Mr.. Sunday
and his party go long ways towards
the successfulness of the meetings, as
one outdoor day week tones them
plum full of vigor, vim and vitality,
together with happiness of mind
which always accompanies the fitness
of the body. Never an opportunity is
missed by the party to accept an in
vitation on the fields of sport.
Mr.. Sunday says 1t makes no differ
ence how tired he is, any kind of ath-
letic exercise, it makes no difference
how vigorous, is restful to him, and
added, Il recommend it to all young
men,"

Preliminary Sketches
of Auditorium Ready

q good view OF the rostrum. The seats
at the rear of the rostrum are advan-
tagious in case of conventions or large
gatherings of any kind. as they tend
to surround the speaker with his au-
dience and make it possible for his
voice to be heard in any part of the
huge room.
Removable seats.
These seats are portable. thus pro-
viding for a large stage suitable to
grand opera or any any gathering re-
quiring such space. The idea is to pro-
vide means of partitioning off the au-
ditorium in order to suit conventions OF
any size. Another important feature
is that the inclined floor and all seats
In the arena of the main auditorium
are laid in sections and can be re-
moved preparatory to an exhibit. large
ball or any similar occasion.
A secondary auditorium or banquet
hall is provided on the second floor over
the main lobby. The room will lseat
about 1900 and is equipped with stage
and adjoining service room for use
when banquets. are given. Adjoining
is large committee room. fitted as a
meeting place for civic organizations.
On the third floor, fronting on McCallie
avenue are two other large rooms.
which are suited for similar use.
On each side of the auditorium un-
der the first balcony ample room IS
provided for cloak and checking rooms.
as well as for exhibits. storage and
other similar uses.
The floor of the basement, which en-
tends under the entire building, is on
a level with Oak street. Entrance is
made through a large vestibule on the
Oak street front, from which inclines
lead to each floor of the main audi
forum The basement contains a large
kitchen, cafe, rest room, storage rooms
and a large exhibit room, making il
possible for the building to take care
of a large exhibit of any kind and two
conventions ranging In size from l,2O0
to $500 at the same time.
The preliminary sketches being the
first to be submitted to the auditorium
commission. are TO be further studied
and perfected in every detail. They
give, however, a very acurate idea OF
the building contemplated, according to
Mr.. Hunt.
The alley on the west side of the
auditorium is to be enlarged to a width
Of at least thirty feet. thus surround
ing the building by streets on all four
sides.
