vislded after forcing MAC" TO St IN
10 opening set and 10 "a IN the last,
and he was always dangerous. The
rs5.headed champion looked distinctly
relieved after sending the winning
poipt OF the match through tottrell 5
court
The Younger player uncorked a ser
vice that brought gaSps OF astonlsh
meut from the gallery and frown OF
vorriment 20 the rudy brow OF Nc
Lourhlin. The ball bit into the turf
WITH 4 viciousness and a speed that
ssused "Msc" many serious moments
nd II was not until well into the
pcond set that the national champion
could handle il with any great success
Fottrell proved fiend, too, at get
ting about his court, and has great
height gave him a distinct advantage
over Mclaughlin when it came TO bring
ne down the soaring variety OF balls.
However, the champion, tghtlnlg
tsenlv for every pCsnt, eventually
ssiDed the victory. bringing into the
contest all his wide experience and all
he little tricks Of the game that inter
NATIONAL lawn tennis has taught him.
Bundy Beats TOUchard Easily.
Then followed surprise No. ,. The
redoubtable BundT faced Gustave T.
Touchard. the in.oor national cnsm-
mon. iu the third Sund, and while few
eonceded him more than an even chance
o. taking a set. McLoughlin's doubles
psrtuer came out Of the fray with a
straight set victory at 6-S, Cd to his
credit.
Bundy mystifed Touchard by the IN,
vsrvinc twist strokes he used. The bail
fairly buzzed as IL went sailing over
the net and IL never took the same
bound Touchard often found himself
cut OF position because OF this pecu-
lisrity and it gave him just cause for
Texstion.
Then, too, Bundy proved a master at
tfieking his opponent into false leads.
Az one moment Touchard would De
r,cinr 20 his base line after high lobb
md in the next, while still awaiting
Ae ball in the rear Of the court, would
ind that the Californian had tricked
him bv shooting the ball 10 the side OF
tie court and almost parallel to the net.
z. Lindiey Murray, who is fancied by
Rsn1 - face Mclaughlin in the final
roula. as he did at Longwood last
week, took on Frederick G.. Anderson,
The veteran Long Island champion, in
the sane round. and only allowed his
opponent q single game, defeating him
a. 5-i, 60.
Anderson found his hard drives TO
deep court Of little avail against the
California boys meteoric style Of play,
FOR Murray. gaining the net with great
speed, brought down those drives and
plaStered AndersOn's court with place
ncnt shots TO the four corners.
Among the sixteen players left when
darkness closed in on the Crescent
court were Allen Tobey. S. Howard
Noshen, L. K. Mccormick, another
product Of the Coast: Hoffman Nicker-
sen, Louis Graves, Frederick c. lnman,
Hugh Tsllsnt and G. A. L. Dionne.
