Maurice Mclaughlin of San Fran
cisco at the age of Is years.

Johns, 16; VOORHEES, Henry. Is; Leon
Strauss, 16; Bowie Detrick, 18. The
last named is now Junior coast cham
pion.
1t is the opinion of Manager Marvin
that from among these lads will be de-
veloped other players of the caliber Of
those who have achieved fame in the
tennis world.
The boys above named play regularly
and are developing rapidly into skilled
stars in tennis.
McLOUGHLIN'S NERVE
Speaking of McLoughlin's wonderful
successes, Manager Marvin of the Gold
en- Gate club said:
II would like to say, in addition to
what have said, OF Maury Mclaughlin,
that he Is never beaten until the last
point goes against him. He plays to win
to the finish. and that is why he has
pulled many desperate looking match
out of the fire.
s'Maury will fight all the harder when
the odds are against him. This he ac-
cuired as q member of the Golden Gate
Junior Tennis club, where. owing to his
skin, he was forced to give odds. And
he played many an uphill game to VIC
tory without once losing his well known
good natured smile. You can not anger
or rattle him. His nerves are OF steel"
GOLDEN GATE CLUB
The Golden Gate Junior Tennis club
was organized IN 1904, and Mr.. Marvin
was at that time, as now, the prime
mover in it's interest. 1t might be truth
fully said that 1t was a sort of fad with
Mr. Marvin and one that he has got
much satisfaction out OF.

Champions Who Began Playing in Golden Gate Park
and Man Who Developed Them

Just because several OF the oldtime
members of the club have developed
into world champions does not in the
least lessen the interest of Manager
Marvin in the club and it's present mem
bers. He gives much time and applica-
tion to the furtherance OF the club and
is very popular with the boys who COM

artist--the painter. the musician-his
tennis skill seems part of his nature

1T would be unfair and unjust for
me to permit you to credit me with

developed himself. So did Johnnie

Hall shot a cross fire bender at Snod-

was still smiling. but Hall won the
applause of the great crowd by send

Snod missed. Then the center fielder

ANOTHER LOCAL STAR
William Johnston. age Is. whose
father is connected with the Pacific
Gas and Electric company. and whose
home is at 7a2 Clayton street. is an
other product of the now famous
Golden Gate Junior Tennis club. He
began playing tennis about seven years
ago. OF his performances Manager
Marvin said.
while William Johnston was a good
tennis player at the outset of his career
he has developed into a much better
one. In fact, his development is much
greater than his start gave promise
of. and he developed very quickly
Young Johnston has won many
titles. He is now Pacific states cham
pion in singles. He has won the junior
coast championship, the interscholastic
championship, and Is now champion of
oregon in both singles and doubles
HOLDS OTHER TITLES
Johnston holds other titles won in,
the northwest and is Longwood cham
pion through his recent victory there
Young Johnston was a bright good
boy and was educated in the public
schools of San Francisco. He attended
the Crocker. Polytechnic and Lowell
schools. His father and mother are
proud of their son and have just reason.
With all his successes, his head has
never been turned, and he is young
man of the highest character.
Young Johnston is devoted to the
game of tennis. He likes to play as
well now as he did when a mere youth,
and that is saying considerable
CLARENCE GRIFFIN
Clarence Griffin, who has been
thrilling tennis galleries with his bril-
liant play. is a native son. but is not
member of the Golden Gate Junior
Tennis club.
Griffin was prominent in tennis
when a boy, and has been prominent
in the east for several years. He has
won titles. but was never coast cham
pion. He dropped out of the game for
two or three years. and it is only in
the recent couple of years that he has
been playing regularly.
Griffin has shown that tennis
player can come back, for he is again
among the most prominent of tennis
stars. He is a son of B. Griffin. His
parents live at 1861 Baker street
Young Griffin attended the Crocker
school. He went into active business
service at an early age"
PROMISING YOUNG PLAYERS
Mr. Marvin mentioned a number Of
promising young tennis players who
are members of the Golden Gate Junior
Tennis club. Among the number are

CA THER|NG Of
TRAP SHOOTERS
Shoot at State Fair This
Year Expected to
Eclipse All

A notable gathering of trap shooters
will be attracted to Sacramento by the
interstate blue rock shoot, which is to
be held during the state fair in Sep
tember
California has been selected by the
Interstate association as the shooting
grounds for one of the five big tourna-
ments that are to be held throughout
the United States this year.
Last year the Pacific coast shoot. un-
der the auspices of the Interstate asso-
citation. was held at Portland. Many
of the crack shots of the country who
visited the blue rock meet at Portland
also participated in the 1912 state fair
shoot.
The shoot this year at the state fair
will undoubtedly eclipse the successful
meet a year ago. as many of the
worlds greatest trap shots have signi-
fed their intention of participating in
the exhibition shooting that comprises
part of the tournament.
The real competition, however, will
be between the amateur shots, for
which several thousand dollars will be
offered in prizes
The amateur events will be held un-
der the money back system, in which
each entrant who pays his entry fee of
s25 is certain of getting his money
back, minus the cost of blue rocks and
shells actually used.
Silver trophies will be offered to the
high shots in various classes. but the
majority of prizes will be for cash.
The shoot will open on the third day
of the state fair, which is Monday,
September Is. and will continue dur
ing the two following days. making a
three day meet in all. Approximately
100 marksmen participated in the shoot
last year, and more will enter this year
on account of the greater Importance
of the meet.

HANDICAPS AN ADVANTAGE

In the development of young

than to engage in frequent handicap

odds in these handicaps that gave him
the heart to meet reverses brave1y in
his later and more important contests.
And Mclaughlin is not self-asser-
tive. He is modest to degree. Let
him get behind in a set, however, and
he will assert himself from a tennis
standpoint. And just because he is far
behind need not cheer an opponent into
the belief that he will lose heart and
the set.
This applies in almost equal mea-
sure to the other boys mentioned.
though Mclaughlin naturally stands
out in the limelight at present be-
cause of his recent brilliant games and
victories"
BENEFITS OF TENNIS
Tennis" said Mr.. Marvin, els good
for the development of both mind and
body. 1t is also a developer Of char
acter.
Tennis can not be played with two
hands 1t is a right handed game. But
it is game that develops everything
good there is in a boy. 1t gives him
self reliance. In singles he Is thrown
upon his own resources. He feels the
responsibilities Of his position. and he
quickly learns to strive for the goal.

better calculated to develop the mind
