M'LOUGH[|N BEATS WOMAN bR00KES Wilding Evens Up Matters By Defeating Norris
 Williams

Forrest Hills, August 13-The I,ni- , ted States and Australasian broke even here today in the first tennis match of the challenge round for the Davis cup. Anthony F. Wilding, Australasia, de- feated R. Norris Williams II, 7-5. s-2 6-S Maurice F. Mclaughlin, United States, defeated Norman E. Brookes l7-l5. 6-3, 6-3. The doubles win he played tomorrow. Mclaughlin and Bun- dy representing the United States against Brookes and Wilding. The Brook es sMcLoughlin match marked history making epoch in the sport For one hour and 20 minutes these two masters of the game battled through the first set under broiline. sun before Brookes was forced to ac- knowledge that at last he had met his superior. The score 17-15. set a new worlds record for cup tennis, sup planting the 1614 match. played be- tween Wilding and Lowe at Boston last week
 The play in this opening encounter was so perfect that the 5000 specta- tors were tense with excitement and enthusiasm from the opening service until Mcl-oughlins final smash pro- claimed him winner. The stroke exc cution, skill In placement and change of pace were evenly apportioned that at times the racquet masters ap- peared to play like machinery.
 The advantage of service was the edge that gave each the lead in turn and for 30 games each won on serv- ice. It was not until the score stood lo-15 that Mclaughlin broke through the tiring Brookes' defense and win ming on his opponents service, easily took the next game and the set.
 Physical endurance played promi- nent part in the match. While Brookes was fresh he held his own against the American, but the Californian always appeared to have a trifle in reserve After the terrific first set Brookes be- came leg weary and he could not fol- low the pace set by Mclaughlin Ex- cept for a desperate and final rally in the third set he always was facing a superior player, being outspeeded and outseneraled in most of the games Williams showing against Wilding was disappointing. The Philadelphian opened with binding assortment of | that bewildered his opponent com pletely during the first three games. Williams however failed to hold the plane he had set for his play and Wild ing soon had him back to the cratic game for which he Is noted. Melted re- turns, outs and double service faults far outnumbered his few brilliant flashes.
 Aside from the wonderful play of Mclaughlin and Brookes the opening matches chiefly were remarkable for the brilliant assembly that witnessed the contests. Several hundred late ar rivals were unable to obtain admis- sion to the enclosure at the Westside Tennis club. Society, as represented throughout the Long Island country colonies and eastern cities, was much in evidence.
 The Americans must win tomorrows doubles match or take both singles Saturday to retain the cup, since the conditions call for the best three out of five matches.

 The Wilson administration is a wise administration," he said The Ameri- can farmer will be protected. Means will be devised for relieving the farmer against losses in the form of decreased prices in cotton. There is every reason to believe that the farmer will not be forced to sell at present prices. Some thing will be done by the administration and it should cause no surprise were the government to advance money and thus permit the farmer to live and hold at the same time his cotton until next spring when the war will be over, and prices will be again at the normal"
 MT. Heflin stated that he would re- turn to Washington immediately.
