BEHR DOES BETTER
 THAN BJNDY WHEN
 McLOUGHLIN'S PARTNER

In the New York state tennis tour nament Saturday, McLoughlin and Bundy opposed Hackett and Alcxan- der, and Mae and Karl Behr facing the same combination.
 Again did Behr make stronger his claims as the logical doubles partner for Mclaughlin, in the Davis Cup matches. With Bundy by his side, ths best the national champion could do against the veteran team of Hackett and Alexander was to split the two sets, taking the first at 6-2. but losing the second at 3-6.
 With Behr in his court, however, Mclaughlin took both sets from the same team, at 36-3. 6-3, showing smoother team work than on Friday, and a better understanding of Behr's peculiarities on the court
 Mclaughlin, too, raised his game several notches higher than 1t was 0n Friday bringing his favorite overhead strokes with greater freedom of ac tion and ma king fewer mistakes. His speed on the court was remarkable, and he caused gasps of delight from the big crowd by the brilliancy of his all-around work.
