M'LOUGHLTN DROPS
FROM TENNIS TILT
Californian Defaults at South
ampton-Thomas, Aus
tralian, Is Eliminated.
by EUGENE n. o,coNNELL.

SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 19.--The start of
the annual invitation tennis tournament
at the Meadow Club here. which was post
poned yesterday on account of the rain.
was made to-day and was marked by a
number of defaults. 1t was apparent
that number of players are of the idea
either that they are in good enough con-
dillon now to play in the national cham
pionship which starts next Monday at
Forest Hills, or that they need a rest
prior to the hard drive for the big title.
Prominent among those who elected
to remain out of the tournament was
Maurice E. McLoughlin Of Los Angeles
who for some reason or another has as
much interest attached to him now as
when he was classed the worlds leading
player. five years ago. There was not
a tennis fan in the whole of the South
smpton colony who had not looked for
ward to the appearance of the great
Californian in competition. Just as
when he arrived in Newport. Mac was
the big topic of conversation among the
followers OF tennis
His case was discussed by the chill
dren, the grownups and the parents of
the grownups. Surely 1t was right here
at the Meadow Club that Mclaughlin
would prove that he still has much of
the old comet stuff in him. That was
the opinion of every one around South
ampton who had been following the dope
on McLoughlins recent comeback.

White Badly Beaten.

Gardiner w. White of Nassau took
almost as decisive trimming as Tray
ers, getting his at the hands Of young
George Hoffner, team mate of the
man who gave Ouimet such a battle.
Hoffner went out in the morning in 80
and had White four down at the turn.
The feature OF this stretch of play was
the efforts OF the two on the long
fourth Both wero in the rough with
their tee shots, and neither got to tho
fairway on his second. Their third
found traps, and each pounded away
vigorously in these pits. Hoffner had
little the edge in this shuttle in the
trenches, getting on with his fifth and
winning the hole. to s.
Two down at this point, White pulled
of a Q on the short sixth to win. After
halying the seventh. ne lost the eighth

with a s when White again explored
one of the numerous traps along the
route. White took the long twelfth with
a mar 8, but was trapped on the THU
teenth and lost with I. Winning the
fifteenth with a par 4, he lost the six
teenth with that figure and then dropped
the eighteenth with a 9, to finish the
morning ( down.
The two managed to make clean
break on the hrst nine holes in the
afternoon. each scoring SO for the dis
lance. White lost the first third and
eighth. but won the sixth. seventh and
ninth. AS soon as they hit the last
stretch of nine holes. Hoffner shot away
like a streak, taking the frst three In

Anzacs Change Tactics.

When the Anzao players saw that
thew had a fight on their hands they
changed their tactics There was no
more trying to scare the young Yankees
away from the net by fast drives. In
stead, the Australians began to drop
the ball back to deep court and to
chase Tilden and Richards around. The
new tactics worked much better ana
the Anzac team carried OF the next
three games which brought them into
a tie at 1 all. Tilden and Richards led
at 81 and again at 6-5, but had
another bad streak which cost them the
next three games and the set at 8-6.
Heartened by their victory in the
opening set, Brookes and Patterson
showed the way in the early games OF
the second set and gained the lead at
al, Tilden and Richards had been
yerv loose on their teamwork up to
this stage but settled down and fought
hard. The best the Americans could do,
however, was to bring the score up to
"a, and then they lost the next two
games which cost them the second set,
too
With two sets in for the challenge
round, and not set lost In the whole
of the tournament, the Australians set
out TO make a clean sweep by taking the
championship on the third set. The
tennis was remarkably fast and all of
the players were working hard. The
games went along on service until the
score stood even at all. Then the
Americans fighting grimly for every
point won the next two games, In which
long rallies came one on top of the
other, and won the first set that had
been taken from the Australians In the

Australians Carry off
National Doubles Title
Patterson and Brookes Beat
Tilden and Richards in Chal-
lenge Round at LongwoOd.
Special Despatch TO THE Sun.

BOSTON, Aug. 19.--1t is. only short
time since those who guide the destinies
Of American tennis decided not to chal-
lenge for the Davis Cup. as it probably
would be unsportsmanlike TO take advan-
tage of the tennis players of the rest OF
the world who had been engaged in war
work for four years. To-day America
stands bereft of her national doubles
tennis championship, and It was carried
Off by Norman f Brookes and Gerald l..
Patterson, a couple Of Australians who
were very active in the war and who
Furthermore stopped of in America only
casually on their way home, where they
will defend the Davis Cup taken from
America in 1914.
The Australian pair defeated william
T. Tilden I'd of Philadelphia and Vincent
Richards of Yonkers, the American
champions. in the challenge round for
the doubles supremacy of the United
States at the Longwood Cricket Club
courts here to-day in I'VE hard sets.
The scores which attended the triumph
of the visiting Antipodeans were Sc,
ca, 4-6, 4-6. 6-2. There is little
consolation In the fact that the Yankee
team put up a hard fight, for as the
holders of the championship they were
expected to DO that.
The contest was watched by one OF
the largest crowds that ever went to see
a tennis match in this vicinity. In the
old days when Boston practically was
the home of American lawn tennis some
fairly large sized galleries came out to
see feature matches, but the gallery to-
day was considerably greater than any
other three that has seen tennis here
about.

Richard. shows Goodness.

Patterson made most of his earned
points, twenty-six placements, by MS
brilliant overhead play. The young Aus
tralian showed his ability to smash the
ball from any part OF tho court, but he
did not have to go far back for many
of his kills, as both Tilden and Richards
showed tendency to drop their ioos
back short. Richards was brilliant
throughout the match and his GOODNESS
was commented on In all sections OF the
gallery.
The American pair started on with
rush which made 1t appear that they
would sweep tho Australians on their
feet. They took the hrst three games
in rapid style and with the loss Of only
four points. Surely things looked bright
for the home folks at this stage OF the
match. The Americans still seemed TO
have the bulge when they divided the
next two games and held the lead at
Al.
The speed OF the Tilden Richards
combination was dazzling. 1t seemed
to have the Antipodeans stopped before
they could get started. Brookes and
Patterson, however. steadied down The
Australians had been trifie oYercon-
adent because they had not lost set
in the tournament and did not feel that
| they would have much trouble continu-
| ing In their winning stride.

Ouimet Plays Cleary.

IN point of interest the attention of
tne Dig gallery was split between the
apoVe pair and the Ouimet -Cleary match
win reports current that Ouimet was in
very weak condition physically II was
anticipated that he would be somewhat
on his game: but even SO, few doubted
put what he would take care of E C.
Siesry OF Bala, whose reputation already
hao reached 30 far. It was stated that
ne had learned his game as a caddie
around Philadelphia and that he was a
member OF the S57th Infantry in France
ana Germany, and that he had captured
nrst honors among golfers of the Army
OF Occupation. Further than this demo-
sitions were lacking.
But some surprise was occasioned
when the Pennsylvania entry led the
Boston star home by one hole in the
morning round, and that in spite of the
Iact mat ouimet had shot a par 81 on
the first half of the round. Cleary had
picked UP one hole Of that half, but
had played great match golf. Ouimet
got rather sensational s on the par
hrst to start. His long second shot
missed hcling out by inches only and left
him a putt OF foot.
He won the second and third with par

'birdies" with a 8 and 1. The next
two were halved, but Cleary took the
lead on the fourteenth. when Ouimet

Big Gathering Sees Play.

Long before the scheduled time Tor
starting the match every seat and every
thing that looked like a seat was filled
Furthermore, there were hundreds and
hundreds who stood around the courts
craning their necks to see every stroke
Nor was It the quiet type of crowd that
usually watches tennis. In fact, the
gathering bore n greater resemblance 70
crowd at a baseball game, for there
was not good stroke that was no,
cheered to the echo. However, the gath
ering was not in the least partisan. Al
though practically every one was anx-
ious to see the Americans win, the work
of the Australians was generously ap'
plauded.
Some idea OF how the men shaped
up may be gained from what theii
individual scores showed. Tilden wa'
the greatest offender in the matter o.
errors. His total of misplays was sixty
but he offset this somewhat by earn
| ing 80 points. Richards had forty-foul
errors and IS earned points in the nv
sets Patterson made forty-one errors
| and 81 earned points. while Brookei
had only twenty-eight errors and q
earned points.
AS shown by this. Brookes was re
markably steady. The veteran Aus
tralian in fact was playing the bes

Garland Beats LIE Roy.

Charles S. Garland of Pittsburg who
recently reached the semi-final round of
the British championship singles at
Wimbledon. won his first round match
from the veteran Robert lie Roy, in
straight sets, at Ga, 6-3, and in the
second round eliminated Walter Wes-
brook OF Detroit, at "a. e.. Garland
played wonderfully steady tennis in both
OF his matches and made 1t evident that
he will be a hard man to beat In this
tournament.
Another feature was the defeat OF
r. V. Thomas Of Australia by Theodore
R. Pell, famous for his remarkable skill
with the back hand stroke. Pell downed
the Antipodean In straight sets without
a great deal of difficulty at Ga, e..
Thomas had come through the first
round by defeating Gerald Donaldson a
Young Brooklyn player, in straight love
sets. Pel had won his opening victory
from DIR. George King of Scarsdale, at
Ga, 6-1. Randolph Lycett, the other
Australian playing to-day, climbed
through the the first round on the de-
fault of Harold Godshall of San Fran
cisco, and in the second round defeated
Frederick F. DORIAN of Tuxedo In
straight sets at Ga, 6--1.
Willis e. Davis of San Francisco
former national clay court champion
| was another who won two matches by
playing brilliant tennis. In the first
round, Davis met and defeated Alfred
| S. Dabney OF Boston in straight sets
at Ga, 6-3, and in the second round
| eliminated Robert l.. James of Saratoga
at 60. Is. The doubles will be

Mclaughlin Defaults.

Surely this was the time for McLough-
lin to make his stand and show that
no would be there or thereabout when
the national championship was being
contested. Mclaughlin, however, ap-
parsntly had other ideas, for when the
time came for him to meet another
young player from the Pacific Coast.
Robert Kinsey, Mclaughlin was among
the missing. He thinks that the rest
for the coming week will do him more
good than hard tournament play. II Is
possible that Mclaughlin may be seen
In one or two exhibition matches.
It was feared that Norman f. Brookes
and Gerald Patterson, the Australian
players might have to be defaulted, too.
An early report, however. from Boston
stated that the challenge round of the
doubles would be played to-day, as the
weather man had been behaving him
self, so their brackets were held open
and II Is likely that they will be seen
here tomorrow.
There were any number OF good
matches during the course OF the days
play, but one of the real features was
that in which Conrad B. Doyle of Wash
ington defeated H. G. NJ Kelleher of
Seattle two sets to one at 81. GO.
e.. Doyle Is a player, who. although
right up with the top notchers. has had
very little of the limelight. Doyle has
been so situated that he never has had
much opportunity for tournament play
When he has played in any of the big
tournaments. however. he always has
acquitted himself well. To-day, after
gettir~ away to a good start and taking
the L. d in the opening set against
Kelleh r. he faltered and lost the set.
Thereafter, however. he used change
of pace to great advantage and made
his chop stroke count strongly In his
favor in winning the next two sets.
