CL0THER TO- PLAY
lARNED FOR HONORS
Philadelphia Tennis Expert to
Battle for the National
Championship.

NEWPORT. r. l., August 27.-By tax.
ing three out of four hard-fought sets
from Maurice F. Mclaughlin, the Pacific
coast champion, in the final round Of the
twenty-ninth annual tournament Of the
United States National Lawn Tennis AS
sociation on the Casino courts here yes
terday, William J. Clothier OF PhiIadel-
phia won the right to play William A.
Larned for the national championship.
Larned and Clothier. who have met
many times during the past few years
will play this most important match of
the year this afternoon.
Mclaughlin, who has startled the fol-
lowers of the game by his speedy and
brilliant playing throughout the tourna-
ment, made game fight yesterday and
was loudly applauded by the large gal
lery for his work in the third set. Cloth
ier had taken the first set by narrow
margin, 10. and when he had capturned
the second Ga, the match seemed easily
within his grasp. but Mclaughlin showed
no signs of discouragement.
Playing at his top game, and again
and again passing the former champion
terrific serves, he forced the games to
deuce repeatedly and finally succeeded in
getting two games i'll succession and TAX
ing the set. 11-9.
HIS strenuous work In this set, how
ever, tired him greatly. and although he
made good start in the first part of the
fourth set, he was unable to maintain his
accuracy, and he drove the ball out and
into the net so often that Clothier had no
difficulty in winning the set, 6-3, and
the match.
Seldom has there been more intense In
terest in a challenge match than in that
to be played today. Only the first Ameri-
can champion, r. d. Sears. who main
tanned that position for seven years. has
exceeded Larned's record in national
title holding, and only one other, r. d.
Wrenn, has equaled 1t. II Larned wins
he will enter on his fifth year as cham
pion.
