was guilty Of three double faults, and
then Mclaughlin bought off the most
brilliant play Of tie match.
In the middle Of a thrilling rally,
with both men standing in their ser
vice courts, Mclaughlin suddenly shot
q low vOlley across the court so sharp
" that Behr was compelled 70 run at
least ten feet beyond the court limits
70 get il. He accomplished the feat
and sent his own return to the oppo-
site side Of the court, on the Callfor-
mans extreme backhand.
Mac Thrills Crowd.
To Behr and the crowd it looked
like a certain ace, and the Fastener
started 10 walk back TO his base line
for the next service. But McLough-
lin was not through and brought the
crowd to its feet by racing after the
ball, catching it on his racquet as It
was dying" and driving it back down
the side line. with Behr many feet
away and totally unprepared.
The match between Pell and Bundy
was devoid Of spectacular features,
and i was only because the former
was able to steady himself and keep
his deep drives within the court Inn
its that the East won a victory by
score of 60, e, GO, 3-6, "a.
Ii was only when he allowed Bundy
20 lure him into playing his strokes
softly that Pell was al a disadvantage,
and il was thus that he lost the second
and fourth sets. In the main, how
ever. the Eastern representative fol-
lowed the plan Of campaign he had
evidently mapped out before taking
the court. and earned his points by
hard and deep driving. Every time
Bundy succeeded in gaining mldcourt

shots short and catching his opponent

and although defeated in straight sets
at 6-4, 60, Cd, Williams and Wash
burn gave Johnston and Griffin live

pions came through VIGOROUSLY.
Johnston, as the first player IN the
land, received an ovation when he and
the stocky Griffin came forth from the
clubhouse and started to warm up.
The Pacific Coast pair clinched their
right 70 be regarded a ) the greatest
doubles combination Of the year by
their work yesterday.
Williams and Washburn made the
mistake Of lobbing quite frequently to
their opponents, but quickly regretted
the error when the "bantams' over
whelmed them by smashing Of the most
spectacular kind. Griffin usually
handled the short lobs, crashing has
returns between the Eastern pair, and
Johnston, staying in the back OF the
court, took complete charge OF the
deep variety, and there was no nope
for the opposing pair once the little
tornado Of the Coast" got his rae
quet on the ball.
There were only a few occasions
when Johnston and Griffin did not have
their court well protected, their team
work being well-nigh perfect, Inc

from md-court, and Williams and MS
partner found It practically Impossible
