wood bowl, the famous tennis singles
trophy. Mclaughlin won in straight
sets, GA. Ga, 81. Mclaughlin needs
another victory to obtain permanent
possession of the trophy He won

Longwood tournament this year Nc

sets N. w. Niles, I. C. Bundy, A.
Dabney, r. n. Williams, r. L. Muir

than in any of the five previous con-
tests, with the exception, perhaps
of that with Bundy.
Johnston handled McLoughlin's can.

than either Williams or Murray, but
he was weak at the net when he

liams Even in the first set, when
Johnston took three games in success
sion and made the score four-all, the
champion captured the next two and
the set without jumping into the air
or making any unusual effort.
McLoughlin's only slump in the
match was in the eighth game IN the
second set when two nets, three outs
and failure to handle two of john
ston's service drives, gave the latter
the game and tied the score for the
set Again Mclaughlin came back in
the next two games with four place
shots, catching Johnston off his foot
in each case and rafting the younger
player into making double fault
The deciding point in this set was
sizzling cross-court drive by Nc
Loughlin.
Johnston was fading fast as the
third and last set started, although
Mclaughlin gave him some encour-
agement by handing over the second
game through errors The trophy
holder started the third game by get
ting q lead of 1910 on McLoughlin's
service, but this practically ended his
tennis for the day, as Mclaughlin
soon made 1t deuce and a few minutes
later took the game.
In the final game of the match,
after Mclaughlin had made three err
rors. he put on a little more steam
and settled the contest by four passes,
each one of which left Johnson
