DEFEAT OF DUNDY
TENNIS SENSATION
Famous Californian Succnmbs
to Prentice in AcheIis Cup
Play at Seabright.
.CLOTHIER HAS HARD TASK

The sensation on the courts of the
Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket
Club in the Davis Cup matches yes
terday was the elimination of Thomas
c. Bundy. of California, in the second
round Of the singles for the Achelis
Cup. Bundy was beaten by B. s.
Prentice, the Seabright Club cham
pion, 60, 2--6 6-S The famous part
ner Of Maurice e. Mclaughlin. for
the most part, played sluggishly. By
great effort he won the second set
on his crossfire volleys. He could not
sustain the effort however, in the
third set and Prentice won easily.
Bundy, after the match, declared that
the hot, moist weather had taken
every bit of energy out of him.
r. Norris Williams Cd and r. Lind
ley Murray were the only consistent
performers. Williams had plenty of
speed, and won from his opponent F.
G. Inman, in straight sets, 6-3, Ga
Murray was right on his toes against
Wallace f. johnson, and won, Ga,
6-3.
Robert Leroy who in the first
round put William M. Johnson out
Of the singles tourney, was eliminated
in the second round by George P.
Gardner, jr., in three sets, 1912, 6-1,
e.. William j. Clothier had a hard
time in defeating Lyle E. Mahan, the
former Columbia star. Clothier won
the match at "a, 20, 1913, but it
was by the narrowest of margins that
the 1906 national champion was able
to come through. An odd thing about
the match was the fact that each
player won the same number of
games. eighteen. and scored exactly
the same number of aces. 112.
The doubles in the first round were
also begun. The leading teams of the
East and West. with the exception of
Mclaughlin and Bundy, the national
champions, who play their first
match today against Touchard and
Washburn, were in action. Theodore
r. Pell and Karl Fl. Behr. the Middle

man at SO, Ga, So. Clothier and
Gardner and Dean Mathey and
George M. Church, the Metropolitan
titleholders. also came through in the
doubles at the expense of Prentice
and George L. Wrenn, jr,, and Walter
Merrill Hall and Lyle Mehan respec-
lively.
The failure of the newly formed
r. Norris Williams and
William M. Johnston, the Californian,
to get into action was disappoint-
ment. as the pairing was made with
a view to developing Davis Cup
doubles. williams and Johnston were
scheduled to play William A. Larned
and Robert D. Wrenn, but the latter
pair defaulted. The winners will play
