 Mehlhorn played superiatiye golf today and came in with 1SS for his two rounds.

DIXIE COLLEGE TEAMS
 OPEN SEASON TODA Y

Atlanta. September 22-The foot ball warriors of at. least half dozen of Dixie's major elevens will get into action tomorrow with the opening of the 1922 season. While their oppo- nents generally will be lesser teams, the games are expected to show to a certain extent their prospects for the later contests In which equal skill and weight will be matched.
 The last week of the training sea- son has been cool in most parts of the south and coaches have taken adyan- tage of 1t to drive their men harder than usual, according to reports from many colleges, so that most of the veterans and recruits on the peren- nially great teams should be able to stand the battering they are expected to receive.
 One of the outstanding elevens of the south and of the nation that will open its season tomorrow will be that of Centre college. The Ken lucky Colonels, whose dashing and varied attack led them to victory last year over Harvard and over every other rival played during the season. will try their prowess against the Carson-Newman team in Danville, Ky. While the Colonels have lost the "Bo" McMillin, they have many veterans back and will be led by Red" Roberts, acclaimed by many football followers as the equal of McMillin.
 Georgia Makes Bow
 Georgia university's team, which last season held Harvard to a 10 to

, ' score and lost to Dartmouth by virtue of single touchdown, made from forward pass after the New Englanders had been three times thrown back by the Red and Black line, will make its preliminary grid iron bow at home also. The Geor- gians will play the Newberry team. Many of the other Dixie elevens whose colorful attack and sturdy de- fense ranked them high among the nations best. will train for another week before engaging in even pre- liminary contests, but Virginia Mill tary institute will be among the early starters The flying cadets who were almost unconquerable two years ago, only to fall back last year, will open this season at Lexington, Va, against Lynchburg college. Their rivals, the Virginia Polytechnic institute eleven, will also get into action, playing at Blacksburg, Hampden Sydney team, which the Virginia Tech eleven bested 14 to 6 in an early game last year.
 Tennessee Opens
 The Tennessee university team, which ranked well as scoring ma chine last season and showed itself to have powerful defensive, will meet Emory and Henry college at Knoxville. The contest Is another that should prove a practice game. for the Tennesseans last season trounced the little Virginia eleven, 27 to O. In a preliminary game.

The game of golf Is a joy to all who can and do play 1t, and since 1t
 can mean so much happiness to so many people every effort should be
 made to enable everybody to play who wishes to do so.
 Many of us who have striven to further the popularity of the game often have wondered why some means could not be found to make golf available on wholesale basis, and now that phase of the game Is coming to pass. I happened to be in a store the other day, looking for new sky iron which I wished to take to
 this years national amateur cham pionship at Boston, and behold; the mall man who delivers mall to my of , flee was waist deep in golf clubs, picking out few new ones Things like that dispel the idea that @ man must be rich in both money and
 leisure to be able to play golf. The games popularity now has spread until all classes of mon and women
 are enjoying it's benefits, through
 more new clubs. public links, etc. We have now arrived at the time when we should begin reaching out for the children. starting them Into golf the way they now take to base ball and other outdoor sports.
 I shall not let pass in this conneo- | tion, the opportunity to express to the makers of all kinds of golf equip ment word of commendation for the
 great part they have played iIt help ing spread the games favor among the multitudes. Clubs, balls clothing everything now costs much less
 than it did years ago, and moreover. the buyer now gets more for less
 money because all the equipment is so much better made.
 One of the most promising tenden-
 cies that has developed in recent
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-09-23

years in the Chicago golfing district . now the greatest golfing area in the world-has brought forth something new in golf clubs, sort of middle ground between public links and pri- vate club. Many other communities can doubtless develop this plan ex- actiy as Chicago Is doing 1t.
 The new idea Is the pay-as-you- play club.
 One such club was launched in Chi cago this year and l hear it is doing much better than was planned. In this club the membership is some thing like $50 and then. each time the member plays, he pays fee of $1. The small membership main tains 8 clubhouse. locker and shower bath quarters and other necessary quarters. Needless to say. this ar engagement makes 8 Golf Club for Golf Only" The money derived from tho smaller membership fec is sui ficient to pay for the work of putting the course in high class condition and keeping it up to a high standard. and that, 1t Is explained, is all the true golfer needs.
 In the early days of the game in this country it was the social side of golf that made 1t costly. Joining a golf club was more a proposition of JolulHB hn cAclusiNe set than IL was a matter of tieing up with the great game. A new era has come upon us. however. Men show a greater and greater tendency to join clubs where golf as game is the main attrao- ton. I first observed this when noticed members of some of our fin- est clubs slipping away to public links to play round.
 As men and women become enam- cred with the game they seemingly care less about the social aspect of the clubhouse and more about the foot work around the links. This Is as 1t should be-the game is the Therefore, let us hope that the pay as-you-play club may flourish and prosper everywhere. It takes tho game to more men and women at less

as McNally was only a mediocre performer last year.
 And one of the biggest im- provements on the entire team is at first base. Last year Wally Pipp looked like the ragged end of misspent life. He couldn't hit and he couldn't field. When he got in the world series he was helpless. This year Pipp has been having one of the greatest seasons of his career, and has been dealing out terrific punish ment to the American league pitchers.
 From the present angie 1t looks like the Giants have stepped backward a bit all the way around and the Tanks have come forward. One of the biggest dis appointments on the Giant club, outside of the scandal raised by Phil Douglas, is the failure of Heinie Groh to come through in the way that was expected of him.
 Howard Busts Open Season
 The Howard Bulldogs have ceased to be playful little pets. They will start today off with a growl. and will continue to bark and growl until the ides of November pull 8 standing broad jump into oblivion. This after noon they take on the Jackson vile Staters at Berry Field. In that the football season is being officially pried open, quite little gathering of embryonic maniacs will journey out to see the fracas. It won't prove very strenuous for the Copers to down the Jack sonvillers. but football lover has just got to have his favorite dish. You know the early oysters are not all that Is to. be desired, but the oyster worshipper starts gulping 'em just as soon as the first R month appears.
 The Birmingham Southern Pan- thers get going just one week after their local rivals toe the tape. The faction coached by Charlie Brown and Jenks Gil- lem will hop off on their season next Saturday with the Jackson vile Normalers as their oppo- nents.

AAiAo HAAOS AAO AAeA6 RCAA(NSS4s
 Bad For Baseball
 If the Giants and Yankees go into another world series this year-and it looks like a "Yale" that they will-it's going to be mighty bad business for base ball. Last year when they tied up 1t was seen that two clubs from the same. town fighting for the highest baseball honors, did not create the interest that two separate towns usually do. This year it will be even worse.
 What a great thing for the na- tional pastime 1t would have been if Pittsburg could have snagged off the gonfalon in the National and the St. Louis Browns in the American.
 Still, there is some consola- tion in the fact that the Tanks have a much better chance of trimming the Giants this year than they did last. The mighty Phil Douglas is no longer with the Giants. In fact, the whole Giant pitching staff has been shot to pieces for greater part OL the SedSOn.
 And while the Giants have been going backwards in the pitching department, the Yankees have been going in the opposite direc- tion. They have a much more formidable array of pitchers to send against the enemy this year. Sa mJones, Bullet Joe Bush and Waite Hoyt are three depend ables. Last year Bob Shawkey was an in-and-outer. This year he has been mainstay for the Tanks. It means the Hugmen will be much stronger in pitching this year, and things look far more rosy for them to grab off the championship than last sea- son.
 Better All Way Around
 Not only do the American leaguers stack up stronger in the box, but all the way around. Ruth, Meusel and Witt make much better outfield combination than did Ruth, Meusel and Few ster.
 Scott is a big improvement around the short field.
