fox as a nucleus for developing a
profitable fur bearing business.
DR.. McNabb has ten lots just above
st. Anthony's hospital fenced with
heavy wire and equipped with ken

Victory Over ThrOckmortOn Gives
Former Champion Good Start
on Upward Climb.

Los ANGELES, March 13.-Victory
over ThroCkmortOn in the final match
of the east-west tennis tournament
yesterday has encouraged Maurice
Mclaughlin. former national cham
pion, to consider trying to fight his
way back to the top again. Throck-
morton was ranged as No. on the
eastern team and regarded as one of
the best players in the world today.
Mclaughlin has played tennis since
1914, but never since his wonderful
defeat of the late Anthony +. Wild
ing and Norman II. BroolIes in turn in
the Davis cup series that August has
he appeared at the top of his game.
Mclaughlin is planning a strenu-
Gus training siege this spring prepara-
tory to a final invasion of the east. He
is working out daily at the Los An
geles y. G. and, according to report,
will very soon take up his residence at
the Bundy home at Brentwood, where
his former doubles partner will aid
him in gaining the preliminary prac-
tice for the eastern trip.
Last fall Mclaughlin, full of busi-
ness cares and worries, was unable to
leave for the eastern trip until Just
before the championships in August
and had less than ten days Of work on
turf before the title singles. This sum-
mer he plans on going east about tho
first week in July and thus will have
an opportunity of taking part in a
number of the important invltational
and open tournaments prior to the
start of the national singles and dou-
bles play and of becoming accustomed
TO the conditions of play on turf as
distinguished from that on the west
