Lewis simply outcIassed the CIeVe-
land man and was master, of the sit

Lewis came to this country as a
lightweight, but when he got beyond
that class physically he was square
enough to admit it and did not con-
tinue to pose as lightweight, pick
ing up battles with lighter opponents,
as so many local men have done.
Lewis would make good opponent
for Packey Mcfarland, who was a
weller months before he retired from
the ring, despite the fact he continued
to fight the 135-pounders.

Starting at the top of the art perfected

we find Jess Willard. While we may be
skeptical as TO the ability of Jess in one

probably one of the greatest circus per-
formers extant. One cannot deny Jess
his accomplishments. 1t is inspiring-it

vTTHAT has 1915 in view for Maurice Nc
w Loughlln7 Just year and half ago
this California Brilliant in the Land Of
Lawn Tennis had reached the highest
height ever known by an American
player.
Just a year and a half ago he had within
less than a week overpowered Norman
Brookes and the late Anthony Wilding,
two OF the supermen of the game.
This was feat unparagoned In lawn
tennis play. That was only year and a
half ago, and yet Mclaughlin, still
young man. is rated by most of the lead
ing experts with only an outside chance 10
bag another championship.
McLoughln's slump stands as one Of
the quecrest athletic turns on record.
Since beating Brookes and Wilding In
19l4-where he reached the top-his game
has never been the same.
That same season he was beaten by
Norris Williams, but to many this defeat
was merely "one of those things" 1t
was something more. That defeat was
prophetic of the shadow gathering above
McLoughlin's game; still fine game, but
not the smashing game Of old
1915 proved we'll enough that California
Mac had lost something from his best
days. According to George M. Church,
part of this slump was due to McLough-
Inns service. Mac" says Church. hits
the ball on the left corner in place OF the
right corner. This shift puts an over
whelming strain upon his stomach mus
cles, as It isn't normal method. 1t was
the most effective service ! have ever
seen, when at It's most. but 1t was quite
evident that such service could only
last so long. The last blow came when
Mac met Brooke and Widing. The can
non-ball stun has never been In evidence
Since"
There is a general feeling among lead
ing tennis players that Mclaughlin will
not reach the height again. Perhaps
they are right. They all say that young
William Johnston is the best lawn ten
mis- player America has ever produced.
They figure that he should be the logical
favoritc for the next title campaign.
But there is n general feeling among
those not so closely adjacent to the ex-
pert dope that Mclaughlin isn't yet
through. They still believe he can make
one more return trip. They believe he
will be a good bit better in 1916 than he
was last year. Here's hoping they are
right For Mclaughlin has done more
for lawn tennis in America, in the way
of popularzing great sport than any
other single entry.
Case of Ouimet
Francis Ouimet attained the bulk of his

length of time. It will take another wear
or two to bring a needed steadlness to his
game, fer the polss of the old campaigner

who is under twenty-three.
Ouimet hasn't quite come to his best
game yet. But he has come to a gams
good enough to carry him far and high
and to hold him there most of the time.
One example of Ouimets bad 1915 slumo
came to mind as we were examining
score card of the East-West four-ball
match where Evans and Gardner beat
TraverJ and Oumet. In this eighteen.
hole match Ouimet helped Travers on
only one hole-the 3S0-yard thirteenth.
where Francis sunk 3. He was in with
a half on several other holes with Tray
ers, but this was the lone spot where his
play was of any assistance. The score
alone shows how far the Bostonian was
below his normal game. But In 1916 We
are in possession of n fine young spiral
hunch that Colonel Ouimet will be quts
different affair.
