Of these, nine represented the east, six the Pacific coast and one the south. The eastern contingent com prised Wallace F. Johnston, Philadel- phia; W. Merrill Hall, New York; E. H.

Mclaughlin, Los Angeles, champion in 1912 and 1913, and R. I4indley Mur- ray, formerly of California, now a resi- dent of New York. The south's repre- sentative was Douglas $. Walters Of New Orleans.
 Almost without exception the sur vivors played strictly to form. The nearest to an upset was in the match between $. H. Voshell and Johnston. Voshell in the third set was within point of winning, but lost in long drawn out five-set struggle Clothier won a match that consumed three hours, defeating Lyle E.

INTEREST IN M'LOUGHLIN

The principal interest of the gallery centered in the first appearance Of Maurice F., Mclaughlin on the grand stand turf Mclaughlin was drawn against T. Roosevelt Pel1 and won in straight sets at 6-3, 6-4, 6-3, but there was a wide difference of opinion re- garding his chances of reaching the finals Much of the spectacular was missing from the Californian's game today and only in spots did he flash with the brilliant drives that made him famous
 Mclaughlin piled up .an unusual number of nets and outs for him and appeared to be in doubt at times as to just where to play. Most of the time he stayed near the base line, driving with fair success past Pell when Pell attempted to take the net. Occasional ly he would come up to the net him. self and there he was the old comet. hammering the ball with terrific force for sure points Mclaughlin uncovered a change of pace new for him by sharply chopping the ball from mid court just over the net. Pells most effective stroke was back-hand, cross court shot which appeared to puzzle Mclaughlin.
 Johnston, the playing through champion, disposed of Nathaniel w.. Niles He played fully up to the games which won him the title a year ago and completely outclassed the Boston expert. He played equally well from the base line or close to the net and his footwork indicated that he was in excellent physical condition.
