TOUCHARD AND GARDNER LOSE

BROOKLINE, Mass, July e.
Maurice McLoughlin defeated Beals C.
Wright, ex-champion of the United
States, in the semi-final round of the
Longwood tournament this afternoon
in one of the greatest exhibitions of
whirlwind tennis that the historical
court of the world-famed Cricket club
has ever seen. The westerner played
unbeatable tennis after dropping the
nrst set and outgeneraled and out
played the veteran Wright.
Both players realized at the start
of the match that victory would be
the result of fast tennis and shrewd
play and began the match carefully.
Mclaughlin showing his usual nerv-
BUSINESS and being inclined to net tho
majority of his kills. Wright started
serving and annexed the first game in
easy fashion, Mclaughlin PLAYING
carefully and allowing the veteran too
many chances for the aces. McLough-
line took his own serve and the score
ran evenly, with each player taking
his own service to four-all Wright
then won his own service and broke
through McLoughlin's for the set
at Ga
The second set began with Wright
In the service position and the score
alternating to five-all. McLoughlin
broke through the eleventh game with
some fast angle work at the barrier
and took the game from deuce. The
Westerner had an easy time in run
ming out the set on his own serve, rs.
The second set for McLoughlin did
not greatly surprise the galleries, but
as the last year internationalist kept
up the pace and met Wright at his
own net game the re-thing" proph-
cts in the front rows began to be
anxious and when in the thirteenth
game Mclaughlin pressed the score
from deuce to vantage and finally an
neXed Wright's own service, following
this with win from his own un-
returnable initial driving the CALLER
les settled back in their seats with the
disappointment plainly depicted upon
their faces, but the hope in their
hearts that the great court general
would come in with rally for the
final sets.
With lead of two sets to one Nc
Loughlin began the fourth set with
the winning determination, but could
not break through the fasteners
service until the ninth game, which he
won after hard struggle and some
fast interchanges of volleys at the net
that brought both players round after
round of applause. The tenth game
of the final set was a walkaway for
the western player, Wright making
scarcely any defense and going to
pieces in his overhead play.
So ended one of the most sensational
matches of the dope overturning kind
that the Longwood tournament has
ever developed, and there are few who
doubt that Johnson rs slated for defeat
at the hands of the spectacular racquet
wielder from san Francisco.
The winner of the Johnson -McLough-
lin affair will be lined up with w. A.
Larned. the national champion, in the
challenge match for the Longwood cup.
If Mclaughlin plays in the form he
showed today the cup will go west
and the national title holder will have
to look tot his laurels if they meet
again at Newport.
The eastern doubles championship
also furnished an upset in the sched-
uled results when L. II. Whitney. the
Boston Interscholasic singles champion,
and Richard Bishop of the Longwood
club defeated @. F. Touchard and Carl
r. Gardner of New York in a four-set
match in the semi-finals. Whitney and
