The committee will also argue To the

TENNIS RUMOR DENIED.
Mclaughlin Says English Do Not
Wish to Handicap Americans.

SAN FRANCISCO, December ~
Maurice Mclaughlin, tennis champion
of America, and a member of the team
that brought back to this country last
summer the Davis international
trophy. discredits the published re-
ports that British tennis authorities
desire to change the rules for future
International play in such way as
to handicap him and other American
players who have a similar style. He
does not believe that British players
wish to require player to touch his
foot to the ground after each service
before rushing to the net.
Such rule would SLOW down Nc
Lougnllns play materially, for he is
essentially a net player, and the fore

catch Eddie Plank in a championship
game. The youth looked like a baby
alongside big Eddie. but he caught
wonderful game, proving that he could
peg to bases and hit the ball
Last Sc son Earl covered first base
for Raleigh. and July 9 made what is
declared to be a worlds record, when
in an eighteen-inning game he accepted
