LARNED PASSES FROM THE LEADERS
IN TENNIS GAME AFTER MANY YEARS

where he disposed of Williams in a
great f1ve-set match at 6-2, 60,
81, 4-6, Ga Then came the crown
ing achievement SO far as Mclaughlin
was concerned, as in the semi-finals
at Newport he dashed Clothier's
hopes by winning at S-6, 60, 3-6,
GA, only to pull out a wonderful
hve-set battle by his superb physi-
cal powers for the national champion
ship against Johnson by the score OF
3-6, 1-6, 6-3, "a, Ga. 1t is the
first time in the histoary of the
American game that first honors have
gone to California.
Three Philadelphians rank second,
third and fourth. Norris Williams,
Wallace f. Johnson and William ].
Clothier. Those who are inclined to
place Johnson at No. 2 and drop
Williams back a number point to the
fact that Johnson only yielded to
Williams in the Pennsylvania State
championship final early in the sea-
son, 60, 6-1, rs, while at South
ampton, L. l., practically on the
threshold of the American champion
ship, Johnson smothered Williams to
the score of 60, 60. Furthermore,
he played Mclaughlin completely off
his feet at Newport, his game only
waning when he became too fatigued
to deliver the stroke which would
have placed him champion.
Those who favor Johnson also
point to the fact that in all previous
years it has been the custom to rank
the runner up in the national cham
pionship second to the winner of the
tournament, or the championship.
Johnson undoubtedly played a Won
derful game through the season.

was the opinion of many Saturday

seemed. He went out to the front at

soon, and when he last lap came the
little Australian was found in neat
pocket. Johnny Bedell. as usual, took
sleighride for second place. He
took Rutt's wheel at the very start

Aside from the remarkable perform
ance of Maurice e. Mclaughlin and
*i1is place of honor at the top of the
Dist, the most momentous thing tnat
lawn tennis players will notice IN 1917
Ranking is the passing of the name
.of William Augustus Larned, OF
Summit, N. J., from its accustomed
splace either as a leader or among
4he firstSten. For five years previous
IA this Larned had held the position
zcf No. 1. In 1906 he was No. to
William ]. Clothier, in 1905 No. to
EBeals c. Wright, and Holcompe
|Ward, in 1904 No. 8 to Ward and
|clothier, and in the three years previ-
Gus to that he held the place at NO.
III. From 1892 to 1900, with the ex-
cention of the season of 1898, when
|Larned was trooper with the Rough
Riders in the Spanish War, he held
place among tho first ten.
There is a touch of irony of fate in
the appearance of Larned's name at
the bottom of the entire column,
fianked by the phrase, Not ranked
ON account of insufficient data" The
absence of the great players name
from the head of the column indeed
marks the passing of one of the fore
most figures in American lawn ten
ais history.
Mclaughlin went through the sea-
son undefeated, winning in turn the
Pacific State title, the Western
championship, the historic Longwood
Gun at Boston, in which he defeateu

FINAL TURNER
BOUTS ON The
CARD TONIGHT
Some Interesting Battles Are
Expected Among the Rings
Amateur Stars.

The final bouts in the amateur
boxing tournament of the National
Turn Verein will be staged tonight
at the Turner's Clubhouse. in Bruce
street, and some good sport is prom
ised, as only the best men are left
after the weeding-out process of Sat
urday. There win be about twelve
bouts for tonight.
The final in the 115-pound class is
sure to be a hummer. It will have
Samuel Clark, the speedy and clever
Turner boy, and Arthur J. Coakley,
unattached, Of New York city, as the
principals. Clark ought TO prove an
easy winner, judging from the ability
displayed in the preliminarles, al
though Coakley will prove strong
contender. Four men are down to
fight it out for the prizes in the 125
pound class, and it is a difficult mat
ter to pick the winner. Fred Miller,
the Turner boy, is being heavily
backed by his clubmates to win.
Judging from the form he displayed
in the prelipinaries he seems to have
shade. John Richter of the Pen
nant A. c., Of New York, will prove
strong man in this event, while
Patsy Rose, Of the Piquart A. c., of
Newark, and John F. Doolan. of the
Jersey Harriers A. A., of Bayonne,
will bear watching
The final bout in the 135-poun5
class will certainly be the star bout
of the night, having Harry o. Rex,
of the Hollywood Inn Club, Yonlzers,
the present metropolitan champion.
and Benjamin Cohen, of the Orange
Y. M. c. A., as the attraction. While
Rex on form and experience ought to
prove the winner, still he will have to
go the limit to win from Cohen. wh9
in the preliminaries displayed consid-
erable skill and stamina, able to take
punishment without amy apparent
effect on him, and this bout is sure to
go the limit.
The 145-pound class has two slug
gers in the final who are pretty even-
ly matched. James L. Smith, jr. Of
the Newark Y NJ C. A, meets John
Gotch, of the Pennant A. c.. Of New
York. There will be something doing
all the time they are in the ring.
Smith seems to have little advan-
tage in this setto.
In the 160-pound class three mer
have to ight it out for the honors
William Barrett. of the Harlem Y. NJ
lC. A.: Edward Towers, unattached
of Newark, and I. Rosenberg of ths
Pennant A. c., are the contenders
On form Barrett ought to win, al
though the other two viii prove quite
troublesome, and some good milling
should result.
