NORRIS WILLIAMS AGREES
TO MAKE TRIP TO COAST
Probably Will Head Eastern Tennis Four, Composed of
Washburn, Church and Another Man
to Be Selected.

II will he remembered that ever since
Williams first arrived here in 1912 the
American season has centred around
the struggles between these two players
for supremacy. In 1912. 1918 and 1914
the Californian has been officially rated
first and the Harvard man second, and
last year the friendly rivalry was IN
tcnsifcd by the success Of Williams at
Newport when he won tho National
championship from Mclaughlin. al
though the Westerner had by far the
better record for the season.
Williams and Mclaughlin are almost
certain to meet again In the Panama
Pacific tournament July 10 and In the
special East VS.. West series of matches
planned TO take place between the two
teams, and possibly also at Pittshurg
for tho National clay court champion
ship. which is scheduled for the week Of
June 2s The plans OF the Eastern team
are to stop over in Pittshurg on the
way West. while It is reported as pos
sIble that the california Comet" may
come East for this meeting also and 20
back home with the visiting team.
The Eastern championship tournament
At I>ongwood has been moved along a
week later than usual this year so that
the pilgrims will have time to get back
East again to take part In this meeting
and qualify for the intersectional
doubles matches at Chicago, Should any
OF the four men on the Eastern team

fore he completes his schedule. lie

to Chicago for the sectional doubles
August 10. and then East again for the
singles championship and final doubles

itinerary will rival the pilgrimages OF
