All that is needed to clnch the Amer

three remaining matches, and experts LOOK
for this to be accomplished, tomorrow art

Hackett meet the Australiasian doubles
team, consisting of Doust and a. b. Jones
Should the United States combination WIN
the team will sail for England late TINS
month to meet the German team whlch

The play during the seven sets contested
today proved conclusively that the Amerl-
can players have the edge on the conT
tender. from. the Antipodes.
The United States champion MeLough-
lin, easily disposed of Rice, outplay1ng his
opponent to an extent not shown by the
scores To the surprise of the gallery,
there was none of the old slam-bang tao
tics for which the Californian has been
noted He used great force but ne USED
it with care and discretion.
AT the special request of the Australlas-
ian team, an English ball. thought to be
faster than the American sphere, was
used and this Handicapped the VISITORS
for the ball, propelled by the powerful
strokes Of McLoughiR IN particular,
bounded high ana far. to the great dis
comfort of the visitors. Rice and Doust
showed a tendency to play the bound too
late.
Although the play lacked the dash and
briliancy that has marked previous DAVIS
cup matches here, the 5000 spectators
found plenty TO applaud. The fact that
Rice was unable to adopt an aggressive
campaign against McLoushlin robbed
the opening match of much of its interest.
Rice could neither outgeneral not outplay
Mclaughlin In placement, also, the
American clearly outshone mis- opponent.
The matches which brought together
Williams and Doust proved more exciting.
Williams. recently recovered from an Ill
ness. found the Australian captain his
equal physically and tired badly under
the excellent defensive and offensive play
of Doust The latter's slow, twisting serV-
ice, which bounded to right or left at
the servers will, proved "A handicap.
Although Williams won three of the
four sets played, all the games were close
and when totalled showed narrow mar
gin for the victor
The youngster of the American team

proved his Tnettle at critical moments
Williams main advantage was gained

Montgomery, June 6.-(SpeciaE-The 1915
championship of the Southern Golf asso-
citation lies between Nelson Whitney of
New Orleans, twice southern champion.
and George n. Aldredgea of Dallas. Tex,
former champion golf player of the Texas
Golf association. Whitney today defeated
Reuben Bush of New Orleans in the semi
finals of the southern golf tournament
here by a score of up and to play. in
"a S6 hole match Aldredge won from
Herbert Tutwiler of Birmingham in a
closely contested match, the final score
being up and l to play.
| The feature of the day was the match
between Whitney and Bush. A large gal
lery followed the players around the
course both morning and afternoon, and
While neither player was doing good green
work.. it soon became evident that HShit-
ney was! outplaying Bush. At the end of
the first round, Whitney had Bush
thrown.
Herbert Tutwiler Loses
Aldredge had Tutwiler down by the
same score a the end of the first round,
though the match between the Dallas
nan and the Birminghasi player did not
attract the crowd that the New Orleans
match drew. While Whitney was conceded
a safe winner, it was expected that the
mat tch between him and Bush would be
much closer than it was Bush had de-
feated Whitney in five or. six matches
on the home grounds before coming to
Montgomery, and although the former
champion was considered the better match
player of the two, it was thought that the
contest would be more interesting.
In the afternoon round between Whit
eny and Bush, Whitney started off with
a safe lead of 8 up. This he increased
at the second hole to up, and at the
fourth hole he again won, playing the
hole in par At the end of the ninth
hole Whitney was up on Bush, due largely
to careless puts of the latter. Bush then
won fthe tenth hole by stymie. which
Whitney placed for himself, and the for
mer champion next won both the eleventh
and the twelfth holes. making him Z ur
and s to play He played number II in
four, one under Bogey and II in 4, two
under Bogey, or one under par
Whitney went out this afternoon in 36,
par golf, while Bush took a SO. The for
mer champion played a steady, consistent
game, and although weak on his puts,
recovered nicely on all of his drives. and
approach shots. Bush was erratic and
seemed nervous which was to some ex-
tent responsible for his early defeat
The match between Aldredge and Whit
ney tomorrow will doubtless draw the
largest gallery of the week Aldredge
played the course the first day in a Il

ney is again conceded the winner of the
southern championship, the match will
very likely be closer than today.
