WRIGHT HAS TROUBLE
TO WIN AT TENNIS
Holden, YaIe's Captain, Forces
Ex-Champion to Play Hard
on Newport Courts.

NEWPORT, r. L., August l9.-Beals c.
Wright and the young Californian. Maui
rice e. Mclaughlin, afforded parallels Of
comparison yesterday in their fourth
round matches in the thirtieth ali-comers
National championship tournament on
turf courts Of the Casino. Wright had as
opponent the western doubles ex-cham-
pion. Reuben A. Holden. jr., the Yale
champion. on the grandstand courts. To
the surprise OF a large and .appreciative
gallery the younger wielder Of the racquet
| forced his famous adversary to show his
| topmost flights before Wright captured
the match. 6-3, us. 81. Mclaughlin on
| the court beside the theater building
porch. where a good-sized gallery also as
| sembled. lost . set to the New Jersey
state champion. Richard H. Palmer, be-
fore he won at 81. Pc. 63..e2
AS Wright and Mclaughlin both loom
| large In the field of championship pos
| sibilities there were points In the play Of
| each that offered the experts opportuni-
| ties for Weighing the prospects of each.
There never was a moment when Wrigs<
dared let up against Holden. The Yale
| champion controlled pace and direction SO
skillfully that only for persistent footing
Wright would have been overwhelmed.
and for q player of Holdens caliber to
lures Of what Mclaughlin would accom-
plish when the two met In the round be-
fore the finals.
AS for the Californian's match against
Palmer, there were many periods when he
seemed to be fathoming the strokes OF his
left-handed opponent and storing the
knowledge away for future use, for both
Palmer and Wright WELD their racquets
with the left hand. The match was fairly
close. but there was no stage in which
| McLoughlin could not make the points
when he needed them
| On the other matches of the day. which
narrowed the original record OF the field
OF ISL competitors down to sixteen sur
vivors, the most notable were the defeat
of the Californian. Trowbridge w. Hen
drick. by the New York state champion.
Frederick c. Inman. Then d. Mathey of
| Princeton defeated Charles NJ. Bull. jr..
the Crescent Athletic Club expert. Carl
ton r. Gardner. another of the California
group. disposed of Percy d. Siverd OF
| Pittsburg; Thomas c. Bundy OF the Pa
cific coast defeated H. Nickerson. and
\ Ames.
There was something Of a surprise in
| store for Mclaughlin in his match against
Palmer. Like all left-handed players in
battering ram. While Mclaughlin is
| considerable OF q hitter himself, he got
some new angles at the game from the
| New Jersey player.
i
terscholastics were only played as two
| sets Wednesday. The error was discov-
cred yesterday morning. and both George
NJ. Church Of Princeton and E. H. Whit
ney OF Harvard met their opponents and
scored another set as required. In the
| final Whitney defeated Church for the IL
| tie, 6-S, g., O., SO.
