Tom Shovlln should stand as a. great boost for an extended life on beyond tho grave. It Is Impossible to figure n soul ns vlild nt his blotted out by as small a thing as death. The best preparation for any new year Rtart Is to get set against the bumps. If there Is any possible chance, the American League should protect Charley fomets, the Cleveland magnate.

M'LQUGHLIN, STAR OF COURT, SEEKS FAME AS GOLFER Former Tennis Champion Shows Good Form in Play on Links Slaurlco Hvans McLoughlin, who has for a goodly number ot years been one of the world's foremost tennis players, bids fair to maka a, high mark for him self at another form of sport. Mclaughlin's new, hobby Is golf. "The California Comet," as McLough llu Is known to the tennis world, first took a golf club In hand and decided to take up tho gamo of tho links two yenrs ago. This was when he was here In the Hast during a cession of strenuous tennis tournaments. Ho took a whirl at golf laigely because of tho fact that "too much tennis" was his trouble. Maurice took a decided liking to the gamo and since then he has practiced freoucntly. Expert golfers who have watched Mc Loughlln In action predict that he will take his place among the stars of the country In this form of sport. These cx puts base their opinions on the fact that McLoughlln has gained such n tine knowl edge of the game during his two years of practice. They go on to say that If Maurice can show the fine game ho pla;s ut present nfter so short a time, golfers must "wntch out for him when he gathers all tho technique."
