The final and championship round for the
New York State lawn tennis doubles title
took place yesterday on the courts Of the
Crescent Athletic Club. at Bay Ridge, and
the honors fell to Raymond d. Little and
Gustave r. Touchard, who are the chal-
lengers for the national championship at
Newport. They won from Thomas c.
Bundy and Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the
Pacific Coast champions, after four-set
conflict, which literally bristled with the
most exciting rallies, and which produced
the most brilliant sort of lawn tennis The
score in favor of the winners was 1911,
1O--12 6--2, 6-3, or thirty-fve games TO
twenty-eight and 213 points 10 1871.
II took nearly three hours TO decide the
match but the big gallery did not care, for
It looked on and cheered such contest as
is seen rarely in a lifetime singular
thing about Mclaughlin was that he made
very little use Of his service, and during the
whole four sets did not win a single service
ace. Otherwise he was the pillar of
| strength for his side and snatched many a
game out Of the fire. Bundy. who is a trihe
off FORM did his best playing better in the
! times at intervals he tried a series Of nigh
/ lobs to Little. in all Of which the Californian
came off second best for after each ex-
change Bundys shots became softer and
/ softer until Little got a chance for kill.
/ Why the Californians played so much to
| Little. who is a seasoned old slayer was
hard TO understand. If they had intended
to tire the veteran they were fooled for
/ from the way Little finished he could have
played on for another hour
OF course. Little and Touchard directed
the main part of their fire to Bundy keep
ing Mclaughlin ont Of range as much as
possible. Occasionally Mclaughlin would
( slip around Bundv for a smash which was
hardly ever returned II was a clever move
on the part OF Little and Touchard. and
they deserve all credit, for it gained them
the match
The analysis Of the point score shows
that Touchard made more points on play
than the others, yet his faults were also
the greater. and he made two service aces,
while Bundy and Little made one each and
| Mclaughlin tailed none. To say that Lit
tie and Touchard won by three sets TO one
means considerable, but the match was
much closer than the score indicates. The
. first two sets were terrific The point tally
or the sets was @-77 SO, Z-l9, S2-25.
The order Of service was: Touchard, Nc
Loughlin Little and Bundy. The opening
games were spent I'm sizing one another up
and the four were careful Touchard lost
the first service, but his side won the next
two games. making the score 81 The
fourth game was won by the Californian
string Of alternating wins on service until
the tally was 1l-all Little won his ser
vice. making 12-11 and the Eastern conf
bination broke through Bundy for the next
which gave them the set.
