 His hair Is gray now, he's 47, and he's known simply as Maurice Mc- L.aughlin. All his glory and glamour are gone, and his dozens of silver cups, like little Boy Blues play things, are covered with dust.
 He was an amateur tennis player in his day, the best amateur tennis player. He brought back the Davis cup, as packed stands thrilled to the first cannonball service. He won national championships as, red hair sparkling in the sun, he broke way from tradition and pounded the ball with all his power.
 He became the taost of nations as, in match after match, he proved that @ tennis ball could be hit at smoking speed and still be con- trolled.
 He was the darling of the Lawn Tennis associationl. He was sent all over the world as it's representa- tive. Millionaires called him Mae" and he called them Charley" and "Ted" and "Joe."
 He was poor boy, Maurice Mo- Lughlin. But he passed up many good jobs to keep the United States flag flying high over the tennis courts of the world. He brushed aside Q college education in order that the Davis cup might be kept in this country.
 Five times he stopped playing tennis and went to work, because his common sense told him he had @ life to live and Q future to make for himself.
