ยป, Hemingway Pays Tribute To Friend, Evan Shipman Ernest Hemingway,* who dedicated his book "Men Without Women" to Evan Shipman,- columnist for Daily Racing- Form who died Monday, yesterday cabled a tribute to his longtime friend to the publisher of this newspaper. The, cable, sent from Hemingways home at San Francisco de Paula, Cuba, follows: "Evan Shipman was not only a first rate racing journalist and a student and historian of racing. He was a very fine poet and a good writer of prose. He had no ambitions ever for his writing except to write as perfectly as it is possible to write and most people knew neither his poetry nor his prose. He loved horses and he loved racing, but he also loved painting and all of the arts. He was a fine man and the best of friends and he lived gallantly after he had almost no body left to contain his great spirit. He was one of the bravest men I have ever known and no one was a sounder critic nor better company."
