West Side Tennis club, at Forest
Hills, I. J., in August.
The depleted ranks Of title holders

naments has cost the game consider
able in interest during the past few
months. Fans do not care TO witness
matches Of an inferior grade. Those
which have been played in most OF
the local series to date have been a
trifle below standard True il is that
the entries 20 most OF these tourna-
ments have been confined more or
less 10 youngsters This does not
draw large crowds to the courts
Word that the hero OF the
Davis cup matches would stage n
comeback has already created in
tense interest in tennis circles.
No player ever achieved more
popularity among all grades OF
athletic fans than the sorreI

mat MS EANAE WAS American

win him a foremost place in the
affections Of sport followers.

against his foreign rivals. 1t was
the whirlwind style which IS most
Characteristic OF our American cham

were thrown entirely of their games
by his terrific service. He was the
fastest and sWiftest athlete on a
court the game ever knew One had
TO be almost as fast as creased light

flashy style OF play which made him
the idol Of every American lad during
his championship days
Those who witnessed Mclaughlin
play some OF his practice games dur
ing the past winter are sure that he
could essay a comeback with assur-
ance Of victory. The fact that he has
been living the life of a sailor in the
service Of Uncle sam for the last few
months has done much 10 give him
his old speed back

Of a friendly nature. Mclaughlin
displayed much Of his old time
speed which earned him the cham

showed much OF the power which

The only thing which appears 20

EAST IS SHOWN To HAVE SHADE
ON WEST IN G0LLEGEATHLETIC5
Drew and johnson Only Representatives Of Western
Colleges Who Have 0utdone Eastern Stars; Raymond
and Erdman Without Peers in West; Shaw FORCES
as a Half Miller; johnson Has Great Future.

THE cast won the decision from the
i west in track and field sports in
intercollegiate competition the past
season. In only two particular in
stances did the westerners display a
superiority over their eastern rivals.
Howard Drew, present American rec
ord holder at the century and fur
long distances. and owen Johnson,
the Michigan star all around per-
former. are the individuals who bet
tered the best efforts Of the best east
ern collegians. In all other events
the westerners were hoReIessly out
classed for the first time in many
seasons.
The sensational comeback scored
by Howard Drew was the big feature
Of the season. All knew that he was
possessed OF phenomenal speed but
had their doubts as 10 his ability TO
maintain it over the century and fur
long distances. That he did so caused
them 70 open their eyes in amaze
ment.
Had Many 3Iisfortunes.
No athlete ever met with the
amounts OF misfortune that has
marred DreW's career as a champion.
Injuries TO his underpinnings have
caused him 10 abandon athletics on
rheumatism threatened TO finish his
career. Each time patience and long
courses OF light training have
brought him back 10 his former self
Today he is our fastest century man.
No one in the east appears 10 be in
the same class with him for the short
distance. andy Ward. national A. A
e. title holder. and a brother west
erner, is the only Splinter who has OF
late displayed nearly as much ability.
In Creel Raymond, the University
of Pennsylvania furlong champion.
the east has a Splinter whose record
Is slightly superior TO that OF Drew's
over the longer sprinting distance.
This lad has developed into title
holder in record time. Two months
ago he was considered an ordinary
Splinter by Philadelphia authorities.
No question arises in the mind OF
the track followers as to the right
of Frank Shea to rule as the quarter
mile speed king for the present sea
son.
Eriman Best HurdleE.
Erdman. OF Princeton. is the best
timber topper OF the present season. I
