Mclaughlin Wins a Spaitles
Match From Gardner on
Park Court
By Grant Smith

Maurice McLoughlin and Carl Gardner
met yesterday on the Golden Gate park
courts to decide the supremacy of the
first class. and the former scored an
easy victory. To say that the match
fell short of expectations would ba put
ting 1t mildly. For match between
champions IL was the poorest seen on
the public courts in many a day Nc
Loughiin. who recently sustained a
strained back. had hardly recovered
and was not in particularly good shape
Gardner had one of his off days and
played a weird game
Gardner's recent victory in the Ojai
Valley tournament, in which McLough-
lin was one of the contestants, led
many to believe that the champion
would be hard pressed to retain his
laurels. but such did not prove to be
the case. McLoughlin won three
straight sets. the first of which was the
only one that was close.
After the first set had settled down
to long deuce affair the spectators
had hope of a long hard fought match
Gardner, however. fell down badly in
the last two sets and his defeat was
due more to his own errors than to
any brilliancy on the part of McLough-
lin.
In the first set Mclaughlin took five
