New York, Sept. 16.-Maurice f. Nc
Laughlin, who twice won the tennis
singles championship of America, and
is admitted to have been the great
est tennis player this country ever
produced, stands as a living proof of
the oft made and seldom believed state
ment that tennis is the most strenuous
game played in America.
After his failure to last in the ma
tional championships finished Septem-
her ) at Forest Hills, Mclaughlin de-
clared it was his inability to sustain
: his game that put him out of the run
ming He said his fierce work of two
years ago when he performed the feat
of defeating Brookes and Wilding, the
Australian players, had simply taken
everything he had.
Il have tried hard to come back ~
Mclaughlin declared, "but | simply
WASH t able to play the game in the
same old way. The strength in service
and return drives no longer was there.
L have tried to develop a different
sort of game but it was no use. l

the most strenuous sort. He never ad-
mitted point was lost until he HAD
expended every ounce of energy he
could command in an effort to make
a get. His entire strength was thrown
into every stroke and it was this that
finally burned up his muscles. Tennis
has been toos strenuous for Mclaughlin
to play and last. In spite of the fact
that he was crowned as the king of all
tennis players his record is not SO good
as some others who are considered me-
diocre. William A. Larned, for in
stance, seven times won the American
championship.
Two years ago it first became evil
dent that Red Mae had come to the
point where his effectiveness was suf-
fering After he had beaten the Aus
tralasians in the Davis cup matches
Mac went into the American champion
ships and after making a great fight
went down before the scientific play
of r. Norris Williams, ii, the present
champion. The next year ne tried to
come back and he made pretty fair
lob of it, for he went into the finals
and was beaten by William M. John
