Williams Wins.
NEWPORT TENNIS
National Title Holder Defeats
Maurice Mclaughlin Three
Out of Four Sets.
"COMET" IS OUTCLASSED

Newport, r. l., Aug. 21.-Richard
Norris William. I'd, national tennis
chapion, defeated Maurice Evans Nc
Loughlin. number 1. on the ranking list
in the final round match of the New
port Casinos invitation tournament to-
day. The match went to four sets, the
scores being 81, s.. 6-3. 6-3.
Williams victory is the second he
has won over the conqueror of An
thony Wilding and Norman Brooks.
The two had met eight times previous
to today's match.
Mclaughlin was not the artist who
vanquished the worlds best players in
of playing with the all-conquering i'm
petuosity that was Characteristic of his
game in the past. Mclaughlin played
back court game. Against Williams.
however. these tactics were unavailing.
for the champion was at the crest of
his form and drove with unerring ac-
curacy. outclassing the player who. be-
cause of the sensationalism of his
game, was once called The Comet"
In the first set Mclaughlin showed
to better advantage than his opponent.
but in the following three sets he was
outclassed.
And at serving, too, did Williams out
class the great Californian. His ability
to draw Mclaughlin out of position, so
as to shoot through for uncanny passes
and mis- phenomenal skill at taking the
ball on the volley as he ran in toward
the net helped him to defeat the hero of
the past Davis Cup matches.
Williams went into the lead in the third
by winning at 6-3 and 1t was in this set
that the gallery got an inklins of the ul-
innate outco me of the match. McLouGh-
lin faltered and wavered, his supply of
energy seemed exhausted and he lost ct
U.s..
II was the same in the fourth and last
set though at times the gallery expected
to see the red-haired player from the
Pacific Coast rally, pull himself together
and finally win the set and even up the
match.
Clarence J. Griffith and William NJ.
Johnston, the Pacific Coast doubles
champions carried off the honor in the
doubles in the final match. which brought
the tournament to a close. The Cali
fornians defeated Norris Williams. 3D.,
and Warrior NJ. Washburn. the Eastern
