LEAD Of M'L0UGHL|N
His Plan to Rest While at South
ampton Tourney Appeals to
His Rivals.

SOUTHAMPTON, L. l.. August "a
Play in >the opening rounds OF the
Meadow Clubs invitation tournament
on the clubs turf courts yesterday had
not the interest that attached to form
er events held by the organization
The first blow was the decision of
Maurice E. Mclaughlin not to play in
the singles and later on it was rumored
that Richard Norris Williams, I'd, the
national champion: William NJ. Johnson
of San Francisco and his teammate in
the challenging doubles combination,
Clarence J. Griffin, also would stay out
Of the competition for the cup won last
year by another Californian, Robert
Lindley Murray.
Chief interest in advance Of the tour
nament this year centered around the
possible meeting Of Mclaughlin and
Williams in another battle. The men
have met twice this season on turf
and each has won once, Mclaughlin at
Longwood and Williams at Newport,
and naturally the outcome OF third
meeting was q matter for much specu-
lation. Now that these men are out
of the running the tournament VIII set
tie down to be normal competition.
Unfortunately it comes at bad time,
following the Seabright and Newport
tournaments and preceding the nation
al championship.
Fears He May Go Stale.
Mclaughlin evidently has come to the
conclusion that he has had enough play
for the time being and rather than go
stale will rest until next week. The
rest probably will do him good deal
more good than any practice he could
have had down here. and it Is likely
that Williams and some Of the others
will follow his example. Griffin said
last week at Newport that he surely
would stay out and he thought the
other Californians might do so. too, be-
cause of the strenuous campaign out on
the Pacific coast this spring.
None of the matches yesterday proved
especially sparkling, although some of
the eighty-eight entrants put up a
pretty good fight and sent a number Of
sets along to deuce. There were a good
many squash players on hand trying
their hands at tennis. Eric S. Winston
of the Harvard Club. the national
squash champion, was beaten by 5.

not such whirlwind on the turf as
in the squash court. r. S. Stoddart.
A. NJ. Kidder, f. H. Hooker and L. Du-
pont Irving were some Of the other
squash stars in the tourney.

Considering the weather conditions
the Gala Day celebration on Saturday
had a larger crowd than was expected.
Much of the program could not be
carried out, owing to to the rain and
while the committees in charge would
have liked to put on everything as
advertised it was impossible to do so.
A hearty good feeling prevailed
however, everybody being glad to see
the rain and determined to make the
best of it. The addresses delivered at

Finally the umpire held up bis
