McLoushiin Is Erratic.
Naturally enough, the feature of the
days play was the Notwithstanding
tilt. The Californian started service and
lost the first game after 1t had reached
deuce three times. He was very erraic
during the opening set. Mclaughlin at
tempted to drive the ball deep, but in
variably overhit II in his anxiety to
keep voshell away from the net.
The left handler crowded Mac for every
point, and when he got going right soon
had lead OF a.. On the seventh
game Mac showed a few flashes of his
old form. He came up to the net and
dropped over some wonderful stop vol
leys from Voshell's hard drives, and took
the game. He could not keep up the
good work, however, and lost the next
two games which gave Voshell the OPEN
ing set.
In the second set each of the players
won on service up to three all. Voshell
after continuing to>make his delivery by
counting on the seventh game. broke
through Mclaughlin on the eighth and
had the lead at 3. 1t began to look
as IL the former comet would be the
recipient of a pretty bad beating. but
he braced up and played the best tennis

and won four straight games, which
gave him the set at 7-5.
Forehand Drive Works Well.
In these last four games Mclaughlin
dropped only four points and each one
of these was the result of his over
hitting balls in attempting to drop them
near the base line. His forehand drive
was working o perfection, and he skill
fully kept Voshell out of position prac-
tically all of the time. The fash that
Mac showed at this stage made many
believe that he was about TO let himself
out even further. How closely Voshell
was crowding him for points was demon
strated by the fact that on the point
total for he Sc Mclaughlin led by only
two.
The third set had a rather peculiar
beginning. The players took regular
turns winnig two games at time until
Voshell led at 4-2 in this set. NC
Loughlin looked very tired, but he was
using his head all the time and won
most of his games by his ability to out
guess Voshell With the score -
against him he carried off three In a

He led again at 6-5. but lost his SER
vice again and Voshell took the lead by
making his own service good as well. at

next three games and the set. 1t was
the beginning of the end for McLougn

set was to take the third game on his
own service and the sixth game on his
own.
