TACKHOLE LEE TO
 TRY HIS LUCK IN "BARNYARD GOLF"
Athletic Club Bills Great Pro- gram For Wednesdays
 Stag

"Tackhole" Lee, the champion rifle shot of the world, like Alexander of old, has now gone out In search of other worlds to conquer. The lat est escapade of Tackhole Is in quest of the horseshoe pitching champion ship of the Birmin8 8nam Athletic club. The master marksman called Secre- tary Roberts over the phone Satur- day and entered his name as one of the participants Tn the "Barnyard Golf" tourney, which is to decide the champion at the club.
 Lees venture in this line will be watched with interest by his Birming- ham admirers. They will get a chance to see whether it is the eye or the ability to gauge distance and keep his nerves uufet under strain that Is the secret of Lees success. In rifle shooting there is little mus cular activity brought into play. The muscles are more or less taut, steady nerve and good eyesight being the secrets. In horse shoe pitching the eyesight gauges the distance. to be sure, but, the ability of the mus cles to perform properly after the distance has been gauged makes up .he secret of success.
 Tourney Popular.
 A number of others have already entered the competition, too, even though the club officials have not officially announced that date for the beginning of the tourney as yet. Secretary Roberts stated Saturday afternoon that the interest in the coming tourney was at such high ebb that he would go into a confer ence with club officials at an early time this week and decide upon the date to start the competition. He has already entered the compe- tition, and there are many who think that Uncle Joe is a veteran of the game, and the real odds-on bet to win the tourney.
 The Athletic Club stag, which is booked for Wednesday night, In con nection with the expansion campaign to boost the club membership to the 700 mark, promises to be one of the most entertaining ever staged at the popular institution, and new and old members. juniors, intermediates and adults are invited to the jubilee.

Red Thornton is also on the program for a. black-face monologue, while | Herbert Cobbs and Curly Lambeth will impersonate Mister Gallagher and Mister Sheehan" in a laughable sklt
 Dave Evans has charge of the athletic features to be introduced at the Wednesday night program. and Dave never worked harder in his life to drum up 8 good boxing and wrestling card than for this attraction. He promises to give the new an. old members some real action when his glove gladiators start to mix ing things in the ring.
 The membership drive has been highly successful and 1t is thought that the 700 goal will be reached in a short while now.
