umphs IN which the players from Cali

The American players viii have plenty

very keen about coming over for the
Davis cup. and l am quite sure Anthony

two Australians. viii also make visit 10
this country unless something unfore-
seen changes their plans
Mclaughlin is only twenty-three years
OF age and no player Of this nation OF
any other. for that matter, has ever APP
preached his brilliant record.
Williams easily played the best match
he has shown in this country this season
He WAS much more formidable than IN
any other II the ar-comers matches here
and he was at all times unsparing OF hlm-
self so Tar as battling for the points was
concerned II was his dashing footworK'
that was so good as 10 surprise even ms

saved him from being passed in the car

II was when Williams could no longer
stand up under the cannonading OF the
champions heavy artillery that his game

peatedly finessed his rival out OF POSI-
ton sent the ball drilling through his
court and had himself revealed an
ability to hit hard and to give McLougn-
IA taste OF his own medicine. But as
the latter by sturdy blows began 10 forge
the wedge that was to split Williams
defence asunder the fastener found II
impossible TO make his returns with any
degree OF certainty. Even then the mar
sn between the two was not great for
on the final analysis Mclaughlin made
total Of 30 outs 10 A. for Williams, and IS
nets to the defeated players 40. Each OF
me men served six service aces. but
Williams was a frequent offender at
double faults. due chiefly 10 his attempts
10 place the service. Most OF his faults
came al critical stages. and proved costly
10 him. Altogether Mclaughlin won
total Of . games and l31 points. to mis-
opponents 10 games and l25 points.
While the match lacked some Of the
sensational features of the final Of the
tournament OF year ago, when Wallace
r. Johnson threatened To overwhelm Me-
Loughlin from the standpoint Of brilliant
paying il really far surpassed that
memorable match. From the beginning
williams advanced upon the net even
against McLoughlins opening service.
The powerfully driven bali had not any
terrors for him. As Mclaughlin re-
marked after the contest, Williams had
played against him so much in practice
'hat he was thoroughly acquainted with
his game. and therefore took II much as
matter OF course, and without expert

oiseoneerting 70 any other competitor.
