MLOUGHL|N LIKED
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
English Critics Believe Ameri-
can Will Win from DOust in
Final Round.

WIMBLEDON. England, July q
Maurice e. Mclaughlin, the Amer
lean, and Stanley N. Doust, captain
of the Australian team, will cross
racquets for the All-England lawn
tennis championship, play in which
has been going on for more than a
week. This match comes about
through the efforts of both McLough-
lin and Doust in the preliminary
rounds, and the winner will meet
Anthony F. Wilding, the clever Aus
tralian player, in the challenge round.
The McLoughlin-D match is
scheduled to be played tomorrow, al
though there was some talk about
playing it today.
According to the form displayed in
| the All-England competition, Nc
| Loughlin Is looked upon as an al
most certain winner. He has dis
played such remarkable skill that he
mas become the rage in tennis society
and the praises are many and high
| for the Yankee expert. In DouSt, Nc
Loughlin will meet the man he de-
] feated in the Davis cup preliminary
round in New York in three straight
| sets, the scores being 6-4. 6-4, Ga
So it doesn't seem as If the American
has much to fear. Wilding, who will
be the one to beat in the challenge
round is a rare tennis player. but
the opinion in England is that Nc
Loughlin is about the best ever seen
| here.
Captain Doust was competitor in
| the semi-final round yesterday, his
opponent being Oscar Kreutzer, the
| German champion Doust won easily
in straight sets at 6-3. 60. 6-3.

awarded to the country scoring the
most points in the recognized features
of the Olympic meet at Berlin in 1916,
and that additional trophies be award
ed to the winning team in each divi-
sion of the sports as emblematic of
the championship in that particular
department of competition.

Los ANGELES, Cal, July "A

bring Roy Mercer. one of the best
all-around athletes turned out at the
Quaker College for a number Of
years, here to take part In the Pa
cific coast championships.
Mercer captained the football team

an all-American fullback of Walter

So, but for his American driver,
Heinrich Schmidt, not Harold Hilton,
would now be the English or worlds
champion golfer. 1t would seem
strange to have German as the golf
champion of the world, for, even with
Schmidt displaying sufficient form to
give Hilton close match. there was
much joshing and joking over the
name. On some courses Heinrich be-
came byword for excellent golf,
and down at Deal the boys had rare

G
Our pro golfers are no match at
all, 1t would seem, for the French
knights of the links. In the team
matches of four men on each side
we have failed miserably in our eff
forts. In the four-ball matches we
| were beaten easily, and in the In
dividual matches we didn't score a
point. We have little to offer in the
way of excuses for our poor showing
for the simple reason that we have
our very best pros over there. When
such men as Jack McDermott, Tom
Mcnamara and Alex Smith can't win
single match, why our golfing ex-
pertness is not to be rated too high
ly. The links are said to be against
the American style of play, being not
sufficiently difficult to penalize erratic
golf. The long drives of the Yankees
went for naught, 1t seems, as the
Frenchmen came down the course
without any interference and played
a delightful short game. We were
beaten, though, SO badly that not
even excuses will suffice.
c.
1t is perhaps a little too soon to
crow over the success of Maurice Nc
Loughlin In the All-England Gentle
mems singles championship, but even
on the other side of the ocean our
foreign cousins are openly confessing
that there is nothing to it but the
American.
@
So 1t Is quite natural that we should
feel cocky over the prospects, but
for fear there might possibly be a slip
Of the lip we will hold our congratu-
lations and our encomiums until after
the battle is over. There Is no harm,
though, In singing the praises of the
great American expert who has so
startled the British that they are

the same time. The writers on tennis

as a glide" He advises the Eng
lishmen to observe him and follow
him and thereby improve their game
by their learnings. All this seems
very strange to us. in that it was
England who has generally led in
tennis, although occasionally she has
faltered and now and then even
fallen. Such seems to be the case this
year. England proper didn't have a
man in the semi-finals of her own
championship There was an Ameri-
can first of all and best of all, We
was considered very formula BILE, but
who proved rather easy. A German
won his way into the semi finals also
and so did an Australian. But not a
single Englishman saw the light of
day after the preliminary matches
were over.
G
Now we come down to the final
round, with Captain Doust, the Aus
tralian, and Mclaughlin, the Amer
lean, as competitors. The outcome of
this match does not appear to be diff
cult to predict. The men have met
for one thing, and this gives one
line on their prowess. On previous
form, Mclaughlin has the call in
many ways. He defeated Doust in
the Davis cup preliminary match
over here in straight sets, and his
superiority was always in evidence
Nothing short of a fluke. 1t would
of the running. Then, If victorious,
Mclaughlin will meet the clever
Wilding in the challenge round As
to this match, too, the English con-
cede the Yankee mans strength,
although Wilding is famous player
and has won his spurs on numerous
occasions.
C
It's tennis everywhere now. The
visit of the Australians here earlier
in the season has stirred up the ma
tives to great interest In the game.
AS an evidence that there was keen
desire to see the big matches is
Cleaned from the fact that more
than $4,000 was taken in at matches
between the Australians and Amer
leans, which We won, as everybody
knows. Over in England. where the
all-England championship is now on,
and where the final matches In the
Davis cup championship will be
played, the attendance at one has
been exceptionally large and at the
other 1t Is sure to be tremendous.
And Americans will very likely shine
all down the line. for with such a
crack as Mclaughlin to depend upon
the worry is mostly after and not
before the competition. But the
great interest in tennis games has
been a big surprise. for the game
while played. in a way, by, many, as
played according to the book and the
rules, the matches are not so nu-
merous The bigness of the affairs,
however, is about. the answer, for
Americans, and others, too, for that
matter, will patronize classy events
whenever they are on the bill of fare.
