M'LOUCHLIN BEARS LAURELS
WELL AFTER CLINCHINC CUP
Californian Brings Davis Tro-
ply Back to America by
Vanquishing Dixon.
MAY MEET WELDING AGAIN
Wrenn Wants Him to Return to
Wimbledon for Match
Next Season.

LONDON, July 29.-Maurice E. Nc
Loughlin had little to say after beat
ing G. P. Dixon on the Vim bledon
court here yesterday. and clinching
the Davis Cup for the United States
One singles and one doubles match
had already been won by the United
States players, and 1t remained for the
California marvel to clinch the famous
trophy for the United States with the
one other victory necessary, (which he
did by beating Dixon, Sc, 6-3, 6--2.
r. Norris Williams was defeated by
John C. Parle, GO, 81, 81, Ga,
81.
When Mclaughlin was asked If he
thought when he started yesterday
that he would win, he tactfully said:
Il never know when 1 begin a match
whether or not | am going to win"
The only real expression that came
from the fair haired youth, who won
the plaudits of a truly sporting crowd,
was that he would like to come back
TO Wimbledon next year to play
Anthony F. Wilding for the All-Eng-
land championship, but he did not
think he could get away from his
duties in San Francisco.
Bob Wrenn said that the United
States Lawn Tennis Association cer-
tainly wanted Mclaughlin to make
the trip IL he possibly could.
After the match Dixon said he
thought Mclaughlin played the best
game he has shown on this side of the
Atlantic Ocean, and quite destroyed
the fallacy that the great American is
a two stroke player Dixon said: "Mc-
Loughlin's service was finely placed
either to my back hand or down the
centre line, while at all stages his top
spin driving was a glorious stroke"
Harold H. Hackett, the captain Of
the American team, although neces-
sarily pleased, was taciturn and
would say nothing at all. All of the
English newspapers yesterday acidly
criticised his play in the doubles on
Saturday, one saying that 1t was not
altogether good sportsmanship in
Dixon and Roper Barrett to play SO
consistently.
BY some unexpected kindness of
nature, England produced a regular
American summers day for the great
contest that was to return the cup 10
the land of it's offering after an abb
sence of ten years. 1t was the KIND
of a day that exactly suited McLongh-
lin and his style of game, which plays
best upon dry, hard courts.
When the two men came out ana
tested their strokes every seat in the
mammoth stands was taken, and hun
dreds of standees stood about outside,
always imploring the ushers TO tell
them what the score was.
McLoughlin's virility and lack OF
affectation appealed tremendously 10
the crowd, and Dixon, too. was
prime favorite, because he is a Won
derful man for his age and veteran
tactician who plays with charming
grace When he and Mclaughlin
after their match, dressed and came
out. the two sat in the committee box
to see r. Norris Williams and John
C. Parks play. The crowd cheered
them enthusiastically
This last contest did not have the
conviction of the first Parke and
Williams both played well, spasmod-
icalIy. williams's unconquerable ten
dency to knock the stuffing out or the
ball was always evident.
