EXPECT McLOUGHLIN SOON.
Tennis Fans Eager to Have Him in
East Against West Tourney.

NEW YORK. July 22.-Tennis enthu-
siasts in New York are eagerly awaiting
definite announcement from Maurice E.
Mclaughlin, who conquered the late An
tl,ony N. Wilding. regarding his decision
to come east to take part in the annual
east versus west matches, which will be
decided at the West Side Tennis Club,
Forest Hills, L. l.. August 4 and 5.
Some time ago word came from the west
that Mclaughlin had decided not to COM
pete in any matches. with the exception
of the national championships. but Nc
Loughlin never personally denied or af-
f1rmed this report. Many Of his friends
believe that he will be in the VESTS line
up when the intersectional matches are
contested.
Mclaughlin has always been a favorite
here, as much al in California, and there
is no doubt that interest would be added
to the series If the westerner were in it.
He would like to try his skill against R.
Norris Williams before the national cham
pionships, and the opportunity to do this
is offered to him in the coming series. II
Is doubtful, however, whether Williams
and Mclaughlin would meet, since Will
liams probably will be named as number
one man on the eastern team, while Will
liam H. Johnston. the present champion,
could not be overlooked for the same po-
sition on the western team. even if the
fans might rather see Mclaughlin drawn
against Williams
Those who have been watching tennis
closely feel that it would not be at all sur
prising If the doubles in the east versus
west matches should prove an unusual
feature. One of the Pacific coast teams
will be the national championship comb-
ma ton. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin.
while the other may be Mclaughlin and
Ward Dawson. a team made up of Willis
E. Davis and Roland Roberts. If Nc
Loughlin does not play, Dawson and
Davis may join forces.
Just what the eastern doubles combina-
ton will be Is still matter of doubt,
but 1t is known that those anxious to see
some of the tennis prizes remain in the
east have been bending every effort
toward forming team to give the Pa
cif1c coast stars run. Theodore r. Pell.
who played on many championship dou-
working out with Fred B. Alexander for
some time Alexander at his best is held
by many to be one of the finest doubles
players the world ever saw, and should
these two join forces the team should be
a hard one to beat. There is even the
possibility that Williams and Behr will
play together, but it is more likely that
Williams and Watson H. Washburn will
be partners, since they have had expert
ence in teamwork
That the west versus east matches are
attracting an unusual amount of inter
est is indicated by the fact that Harry
Parker. who has charge of the distribu-
reservations from all over the country
There are about 1000 reserved seats, and
the work of building the stands has be-
gun.

GOLF DUFFER FLED SCENE.
Discovery That He Had Been Crit
cising Champion Abashed Him.

Back in 1891, in the days when gen
tlemen went golfing in high hats and
swallowtail coats. the British amateur
championship was played over the
historic St Andrews course in Scot
land. the home course of the Royal
and Ancient Golf Club 1t is a far cry
from that famous course to the public
links at Van Cortlandt Park. but a
transplanted Scotchman who knocks
the links apart on either side of the
Atlantic with equal fervor is the hero
or the villain-of an incident that
occurred at St Andrews in 1891. He
will never forget it even if he succeeds
in his life's ambition to make a hole
in par at Van Cortlandt.
He approa ched the first tee at st.
Andrews. armed and ready TOT oattle.
and was in turn approached by another
player who requested the privilege OF
PLAYING round with him. On the
DAYS preceding the championship the
course was covered with all sorts or
duffers who had focked to the scene
To be ready for the great final matches.
The now exiled Scotchman astonished
himself by playing to the green per-
fectly, a thing he never did before or

reached the green in three. The party
of the first part ran up good approach

opponent in the act of putting he was
astounded to observe that the man
had taken a crouching attitude with
his hands gripping the putter almost
down at the blade, at the same time
going through the motions of man
irving to throttle a goose.
STAND up like a mon and putt.
Numbered the duffer, and thereupon
proceeded to discourse savagely upon
bad players in general and a certain
bad player in particular. The other
man did not stand up. but he ran down

pionship, but attended the dinner to

The fun ran high at the banquet. but
the hit of the evening vas scored by
the champion, J. E. Laidley, who had
lust won the title for the second time.
He recounted with glee how a duffer
had taught him to putt during a pre-
liminary round. and while the hall
rocked with laughter a man made his
way out silently and started for
America. He has been here ever since.

Aquatic sports are very likely to
develop here within the next few years
to a much greater extent than at any
time within the previous history of
water games in the south. Greater in
terest is manifested in canoe regattas
than usual. much more is being done
by the swimmers, and the chances are
that the Middle States regatta will act
as quite a stimulus to the rowing in
terests.
The canoe regatta held little more
than a week ago by the Associated
Canoeists Regatta Association was
much better attended and had more en-
tries than the ordinary event of that
chara cter. Washington also sent en-
tries to the national championship in
that sport and captured several
trophies Some of the most capable
handlers of canoes in the country rep
resent local clubs. and they can hold
their own with the best: this Is due to
nothing other than the development
the sport has received within the last
few years.
Swimming in particular is becoming
much more popular. Not only are men
taking to the sport with much greater
readiness than in the past, but hun
dreds of women are developing rather
remark BILE capabilities. Various forms
of competition in swimming find no
lack of competitors among either sex
and the contests afford keen enjoyment
not only to those actually taking part.
but to thousands of spectators
Now that a determined effort is being
made by the Potomac Boat Club to put
rowing on the plane it should occupy in
the capital in relation to other cities,
there is strong proba bility that aquatic
sports will receive boom which will give
them much greater prominence in this
and future years than they have held in
bygone seasons.
Washingtonians have at their very doors
a river which affords the same sports for
which thousands go north every summer
and they are just beginning to awake
to the fact. The banks of the Potomac
offer sites for camping not excelled in
many places and few courses are better
for rowing. and the facilities for swim
ming and swimming races are not much
superior elsewhere than those offered by
the local boat clubs.

1t Is safe to say that II the war lasta
much longer. Canada will be turning
out some good boxers, which will mean
more international matches.
The report that Fred Fulton, Roches-
ter giant and challenger Of Jess Will
lard for the title, is endeavoring to
sidetrack his manager, Mike Collins,
seems incredible 1t has been a hard
fight for Collins to get Fulton to the
top of the ladder. and it has cost him
a great deal of money. No one knows
better than Fulton how hard Collins
not seem possible that the big fellow
would try to throw down" his man
ager when he is on the brink Of sue
cessful career. There have been nu-
make trouble between the fighter and
manager in order to get in" them
selves. but Fulton should be wise
enough now not to fall for, such stun.
During a trip through Minnesota this
week I had chat with Fulton. and
the big fellow Is much concerned over
the reports The trouble seems to
date back four years. when l. had
Frank Force as manager. said FREQ.
Mr.. Force dropped me, however, as 1
suppose he considered me of no &C
count. Then took up with Mike Col
Inns, and win say candid1y that he
has made me what am today. 1t is
fight between Collins and Force. OF
course, I want to do what Is right. and
feel that Collins Is the man who de-
serves all. the honors. They will have
to settle it in court. perhaps. but Col
Inns is the man I want to stick with.
From the statement of Fulton 1t
would appear that Fred has been
getting too much advice from near
friends. The big fellow realizes that
he is indebted to Collins for his ad-
vancement and really wants to stick
to the man who made him.
The suggestion of Chairman Fred
wenck of the New York state boxing
commission that decisions be given in
contests where a champion of any
class is one Of the participants meets
with favor in many quarters. Mr.
Wenck says he is sick and tired OF
watching some Of the champions get
away with one-sided matches without
ever risking their titles and even re-
fusing to take a chance in arranging
bona fide championship match. un-
tees and privileges. Mr.. Wenck does
not ask for decisions. in all bouts. but
only where champions are involved, SO
as to protect patrons Of the game. IF
such a rule Is passed the champions
will have no one to blame but them
selves They have been most un-
reasonable in their demand and the
commissions are just beginning to hit
back at them. It such a rule is passed
it will mean better contests where the
champions are involved, for the COM
missions will no longer sanction
bout that appears to be one-sided.

Among the Indians of America the
custom of having a Thanksgiving feast
was practically universal-at least
among those who had any amount of
planting. As corr was the. main arti-
Gle grown, their dances and feasting
were generally In honor of the har-
vesting Of that food. The writer's of
several hundred years ago who first
studied the Indian on his native heath
all speak Of these festivals and the
elaborate ceremonial with which they
were attended. While most Of the
tribes have vanished as such, there are
still some left on government reserva-

in a modified degree, the ancient Gus

The change Of climate and milk
should not cause q calf to scour, nm
less too much milk Of poor quality is
given to the calf en- route or after 1t
arrives Scours are generally caused
by heavy feeding or by the use Of cold
or sour milk fed out Of unclean
buckets. In q $ the calf scours. I
would cut Its amount Of milk to about
one-half and give a dose Of castor oil,
or d mixture of salol and bismuth sub
nitrate. The latter is a common rem
edy and Is very effective.
The best practice is to feed the calf
twice a day. II you are milking your
cows three times a day, the calf IAN be
fed as often. Good results are had by
feeding the calf warm sweet milk i'm.
mediately after the COWS r MIXED.
II the calf is of the Jersey or Guernsey
breed, eight to ten pounds Of milk n
day for the first few weeks will be
enough. If you have no way Of weigh
ing the milk. 1t would be a good idea to
feed just a little more than half q gal
Ion Of milk twice a day.

some liquid to make n wet mash which

At night. scratch feed was given
again and the birds were given all they
would eat to send them to rOOst with

WHERE THE WILD TURKEY cALLs-THE REAL THANKSGIVING BIRD

The earth is In process, and we still
have earthquakes and volcanic erup-
lions.
Humanity, too, Is In process, and
strife and sorrow and death will con
tinue to be Its lot. We must face life
resolutely and meet destiny undis-
mayed.
This year we will not be thankful
SO much for the blessings we have re-
ceived, for the things that have been
given to us-for being pampered by a
prodigal Providence-and being re-
lieved Of our burdens, as we will be
thankful for the strength to bear them.
In the shrine Of our hearts our deep
est prayer Is not that we shall be re-
lieved of our burdens; but that we
shall be given the strength to bear
them, for we are great in the. degree
and the manner in which we face our
tasks and perform them. The Great
Souls are those that have suffered
and endured.
Our Thanksgiving this year will be
no perfunctory, infantile prattle be-
cause Of safety.
This is a year of reckoning with
fate; of being thankful If we, our
selves, have not fallen In the wreck
age. We are thankful not for what
has happened; but for what has not
happened.
Life Is not q trivial pastime. It is
deadly earnest. It is the course that
destiny takes, and let us be thankful,
not for less of life, but for more Of 1t,
and the courage, the fortitude, the
strength, and the persistence to meet
its difficulties and continue Its course
undaunted by disaster and unspoiled
by success.
We are thankful for Character, not
charity, and for iron wills that have
not been broken by the inevitable =

KEEP YOUNG CALVES THRIFTY
Ration consistina Of Cracked Corn,
Whole Oats, Bran and OIL 10
Considered Excellent

A very excellent ration for keeping
young calves in good, thrifty, health
full, growing condition is n con-
sisting Of equal parts cracked corn,
whole oats, bran and oil meal. This
fed regularly and literally in commune
ton with clover hay will make them
thrive well. The cracked corn fur
nishes carbohydrates in sufficient pro-
portion to keep the calves in excellent
flesh and 1t furnishs heat for warming
their bodies Ia cold weather. Whole
oats are very excellent for impartng
bone and muscle-growing material;
also stamina in young calves. Cracked
or shelled corn and whole oats will be
digested Just as readily and efficiently
by calves under one year as will these
grains when ground, and calves seem
to. prefer them unground.
