his judgment with many Is final. He
says McPhilomy Is great young

McPhilomy IL barely out Of his
teens. He Is a tall, slender youth
with a graceful, sweeping delivery
and a straight ball. Three years
covers his bowling experience and
the present season his career as a
star.
Twice this season he has beaten
400 for a league set. with three
game scores Of 401 and 402. His
high game is TIA, made In his Sec

he has been watched closely all sea-

thought he might be q flash. Nc.

He IL usually an optimistic crea.

looking at his calendar that the
time of high-piled snowdrifts will
soon be ended, and II he has the
gift Of wisdom he will begin now to
get himself in readiness for the
playtime Of the year.
am convinced that one of the
best methods of recovering from the
lnaction of the long winter is care
ful practice at the indoor schools
during this season Of the year
The plan 10 particularly advanta
eous, If one knows little about the
game, and has a sensitive feeling
when it comes to displaying his lack
or form in all its weaknesses In the
bright light surrounding the first
tee Of his own golf course.
To such q player my advice Is:
Get q good professional, and take
o few lessons before the outdoor
season begins, and after taking
the lessons practice what you have
been taught as often as you can.
Get your stance and your grip
and your swing right.
1t will give you a feeling Of conf
dence. put your game on q firm
foundation and timber up YOU
muscles. Stiff muscles are a grea
enemy to good g.ff. and there II
bound to be a grGAGS ReAI OF sore
ness when they are first put to ust
after a considerable period of rest
Why, then. should one waste tn,
glorious spring weather getting him
self in trim.
Rather let him begin now and b,
the time April rolls around hi
muscles will be firm and supple, ant
his golf form will be something III
need not be ashamed Of. That is
II he has chosen the right sort o.
professional and given an intelli
gent interest to his shots.
There Ii no reason I'm the world
why one cannot learn the proper
grip In an indoor school, or the
right stance or the drive.
These are fundamental things
over which the beginner feels mos
sensitive, and they can be Learned
just as easily indoors as out. It is
OF course. very important to choose
a first-class teacher, and to follow
up his tuition with az much prac
tice as your time win permit. Then
when good weather arrives, carry
your indoor game outside. I an
sure you will be pleasantly surprised

$4,000 JEWEL USED
AS PAPERWEIGFIT

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Declared to
be the largest sapphire in the
world, jewel, once used as a COM
mon paperweight, has been
brought from india and is now be-
ing offered for exhibition in Lon
don. The jewel is worth more than
$35,OO0, weighs 916 carats and is
in the form of a plucked flower
with a short stem. 1t was acquired
by a government official in India
who, ignorant of its value, used ii
as a paperweight in one of the
guard huts on the Indian frontier.
The discovery of the jewel was
made by the director Of Indian Rev
enue when he visited the outpost.
Its history has been traced to the
twelfth century when one of the
Bellalla kings, while on pilgrim
age to Ceylon, was given the sap
phire by a Buddhist monk. Dur
ing the reign of this king the stone
became the object of much ven
Grafton and was afterwards cap
tured by Malik Kaffur, the great
general of Allandan. Later it came
into the possessio nof a state off
cial, but was lost about 1875.
Experts are Of the opinion that
the jewel was hair ornament Of
an ancient deity and there is, it is
believed, a companion stone in eK-
istence.

in starting, buggy manufacture aid

of mechanical aid does not figure
