Newport, R, T., Sept. 1.-Catching the cnampion in the doldrums and playing with sustained brilliancy, R MOTHS Williams, 2d, of Philadelphia ana I1aI ward today snatched the cniel aSS tennis honor of the country rom Mau- rice B. Mclaughlin of San Franc1sco' who had held it for two years.
 Williams victory was in stralgnt sets, the scores being 6-3, S-6, lo-e.
 Great Surprise to Followers.
 The result was one of the greatest surprises of the athletic year. Inat Williams might take a set rom Ine 1913 champion was generally conceded by close followers of the game. but that he could make it three sets ana match was regarded as entirely am- probable.
 His own explanation after the match was the one generally accepted py all who saw the contest.
 Mac was off his game" he said.
 Williams Solved His Problem.
 But Mclaughlin was no farther un- der his own game than Williams was above the brand of tennis which he had previously displayed. To be sure, there have been times since Williams entered tho American tennis area three years ago when his play was equal to McLoughlin's best. But his brilliancy has been only in flashes which 1t has been his hardest problem to ssutain He solved the problem today, and it was McLoughlin's misfortune that his opponents long sequence of successful rallies, perfect drives and unplayable aces found him far below par.
 All His Shots Came Through. All of Williams shots seemed to come through. Most of the champion's s landed in the net or out of court. Will liams carried off IF clean service aces to il for Mclaughlin. In addition, there were a score of services which Mclaughlin just managed to reach and which were leniently credited as nets or outs.
 Californian's Drives Lacked Sting. On the other hand. tte drives of the 1913 titlehoIder lacked the usual well known sting. His forceful smasl1es, which the wonderful Brookes could not handle, were easy for Williams, who drove them back with even greater vigor. And, to cap all, the tactics of the Harvard man were fully as good and at times better than those of the Californian. Mclaughlin was also un- fortunate in having eight foot faults called on him. three of them resulting in double faults.
 Initial Set Regarded as spurt. l The crowd of eager followers of the game accepted Williams capture of the 1 initial set as a Spasmodic burst al. l though his tennis then was compelling l for he scored nine placements and si, | service aces in 30 points, or 50 pel cent! earned shots.

 Tuesday. =

Manchester, Vt, Sept. 1.-The first of the favorites for the national anna teur golf title was eliminated in the first round of match play on the Elk
 wanok links this afternoon, when Charles Evans, Jr., of Edgewater, na- tional champion in 1911 and prom inent figure in the recet open cham pionship tournaments. was eliminated by Eben M Byers. of the Alleghany Country club, Pittsburgh, national champion in 1906 and runnerup in 1902 and 1903. by the score of one up.
 Byers won largely because of his ability to play his approach shots dead. At the turn he was in the lead two up. but Evans pulled up even on the twelfth, when Byers missed a short putt. Once more the Pittsburgh man went into the lead when he took a three at the fifteenth hole against four for Evans. At the seventeenth hole Byers got into difficulties and the fig ures here were only approximated when he picked up his bag, .conceding the hole to Evans. Byers topped his drive and went into the ditch. In try

 Mclaughlin. Found Himself Once.
 For a single game, when he cap- tured the first contest in the third set on Williams service, it was felt that Mclaughlin had found himself again.
 Then the net began catching his re-
 turns and Williams not only won the champions service but made it two
 games to one a moment later on his
 own After that the games alternated on the service until the 18th, when Mclaughlin broke through and gained
 a lead of to on Williams service.

The crowd saw the shift of the tennis crown from the auburn haired Californian to the black-pom- padoured Philadelphian without the slightest demonstration. The result seemed too amazing for words, much | less for cheers, and the two players, still the closest friends, walked to the clubhouse unaccompanied.
