Court No. . was assigned TO Nc
Loughlir and Noshell and little time
was wasted in warming up. The comet
started the service and lost his only
point in this game by making double

throughout the greater part Of the
struggle, occasionally charging Tor the
net, where he bewildered his opponent
By beautifully placed volleying strokes
that eluded, confused and discouraged
Voshell
A gasp Of establishment arose from
the orlookers when Noshell took the
third game on the Californlan.s ser
vice. Mclaughlin sent three Of his re-
turns crashing into the net, and one
sizzling drive ripped its way out t Of y
court. . sNy,<t1
The former national champion then
treated the spectators 20 rare Durst

forcing Voshell 20 stay couple OF feet
back OF the base line 20 receive his ter
rife forehand drives McLoughlin
would suddenly spring for the net and
work a change Of pace so swift and
startling that the Borough Park man
would be helpless.

Voshell would be expecting another mp

Again the red-headed demon from
the Pacific Coast would swing his
racquet in a wide sweep about his head
as he aimed for one Of Noshell's hlgh
iobs, only 20 tap the ball ever so softly
and let it trickle over the net Nosheil,
and the gallery. too, would be waiting
brcathlessly for one Of those deadly
kmashes. The point won by gentlcr
methods, Mac would smile delightedly
and the women would clap their hands
IN appreciation Of his cunning.
