A great deal of interest II attached
to the meeting of Mclaughlin, erstwhile
king OF the courts, and the tempera-
mental BChr. because OF the result OF
their last contest. Behr played about
the best tennis OF his career when he
downed Mclaughlin and naturally the
New Yorker Is anxious to show that
there was no fluke in that victory. Nc
Loughlin, who was testing the back
court game when Behr beat him. prob
ably will return to his old style Of
game. the kind that proved effective
against every one but Johnston. in an
effort to square the account. AS a mat
ter OF fact. the winner of this match
will have the edge on the loser. for the
players have met only twice In their
court careers and each has gained
a victory. BESIDES the settling OF the
personal difference, the match will
have n great bearing on the rating OF
the tennis triumvirate, which was eN-
ended to a quartette during the tour
nament just finished.
The Pell-Bundy match does not look
as IL IL should be a very startling af-

a great bid for the first ten and has
victories over Johnston. Griffin and
Washburn to Jack up his bid. ought TO
score n point for the East over Bundy,
who has had very little practice this
year. There il no reason why the ma
tional champions should not win the
doubles. They havc beaten the Will
iams-Washburn team hitherto this sea-
son.

has a good nance OF beating the cham
pion. but II the y~ourEster plays the way
he did against the Philadelphia in the
national championship the outcome
should he the same. The other singles
match will bring together Griffin and
Nat Niles of Boston and should prove
an even AFFAIR. The doubles in which
Mclaughlin and Bundy will strive
against last years Eastern champion
ship pair, Pell and Behr. ought to he

ton as to which is the better team.
