Tourney for State Lawn Tennis
Title Goes Along Apace.

Attention was divided between Maurice T.
Mclaughlin, the brilliant Californian, and
w NJ. Washburn, the ffteen-year-old boy.
Of Bridgeport. Conn, III the opening rounds
of the New York State lawn tennis cham
pionship tournament yesterday on the turf
courts of the Crescent Athletic Club, at
Bay Ridge The tall and youthful inter-
nationalist from the Pacific Coast revealed
his speed and untiring energy against z.
E Perry. OF the Crescent Athletic Club,
whom he defeated 6-I. S-3 The boy
Washburn, who earlier in the season
created a sensation by easily winning the
Columbia University interscholastic cham
pionship, drew a bye in the first round, but
in the second he defeated T. Pyne, Of
Princeton, 6@, Glove.
Under the direction of Otto ". Heinigke.
the referee and Henry G. Martin. the
chairman of the committee, tWenty-seven
scores were posted the board as tke
result of the first day of play in the twen-
tieth annual tournament for the state
title The field was reduced nearly one
half.
The match in which Mclaughlin COM
peted held a large gallery. His wonderful
service that breaks sharply TO the side
caused Perry considerable trouble in the
L
It with better results. There was some
sharp rallying but McLoughlin's terrific
pace held him in the lead throughout.
Washburn for so young a player re-
vealed a powerful wrist He made many
of his shots with hardly any arm motion
TO speak of It was this 10 a degree that
covered his intentions. Pyne. the Prince
ton player was unable to anticipate the
direction Of the ball and so. by covering
up his shots Washburn was successful in
whipping the ball across the net for the
needed aces almost at will. In the second
set he srnothered Pyne. as he had appar-
emily sized up his game and worked 10 its
wea aknesSes.
