the condition Of the courts. which were soft

was cool, however. and the sky somewhat
overcast. There was large gallery in at

IS the two Americans came ont, for they
were facing the invincible pair that had
won the world famous trophy from Eng

Wright and Frederick r. Alexander year
ago. Whether or not the two youngest
players that America had ever sent in
Guest Of the cup would hold their opponents
was probematical
Mclaughlin and Long At The beginning
showed some nervousness. The former was
at once mystifed by Brookes's swiftness Of
service. which the Victorian placed with
wonderful skill. So erratic were McI,ough-
Inns returns that the set was almost a
walkover except for the fast dsshing vol
leys which the American occasionally got
in. and n was in this manner that Nc
Loughlin managed 10 win his points and
the two games of the opening session.
Brookes worked his service even harder

Long demonstrated that he possessed
