McLoughlin of S8an Francisco ob- tailned permanent possession of the fa- mous Longwood tennis bowl yesterday n association team to the local as continued until next Thurs- hen the case came up before Ambrose 8, need in common ourt here yesterday.

Norris Williams, 2d, of Harvard, the national champion in the challéenge round of the tourna- ment on the courts of the Longwood | opening until the closing act, at times were conditlons tounded tr.e tennis world by whipping him for the honors, as he did yester- day, he wculd never have been hum- bled. 'xperts declare that there nev- er has been a match like it between the champion and runner-up which resulted yesterday. No important match probably has been played un- der worse conditions of weather and turf. 1¢ drizzled all afternoon and the courts werc in bad shape. In spite of this fact the two greatest tennis play- ers in the country battlied for an hour and a half. The spectators were not disappoint- ed when the match closed, because it was replete with thrills from the 8o bad that the blacked ball when it came in contact with the net would cause a spray to be sent forth which when the players were playing close caused them some trouble. The Harvard players was nervous | throughout overlooking the fact that the court was soft and slippery, and thus many points he dropped were due to that fact. McLoughlin was steady at all time, which had more to do with his victory than anything eclse. He abandoned his dasning net-assault- ing game entirely and scrambled af- ter the ball. In doing this he dis- played a varied repertoire of strokes larger than his opponent. Willianis presented a straight fast | ball and rarely volleyed. Mcloughlin served every kind of a twist known to a champion tennis piayer and mixed them up to perfection. He drove, chopped, undercut, patted, volleyed, and smashed. It is doubtful if he ever showed L.tter generalship, working | every minufe like he did when he was a champion himself one year ago. williams | layed a beautiful game only in spots, displaying his famous fore- hand and backhand drives which won his many points—no less than nine more than McLoughlin tallied, but Mc- Loug..in showed that he could adapt , himself e: tirely to the needs of the; unusual cccasion and he made fewer spectacular placement. ' Cricket club 3 sets to 1 at 6-3, 6-8, 2-68, 6-2. The match will go down in tennis history as the greatest played in the oldest tournament under the auspices of the Natlonal association, and by winning, the California player proved that no mistake was made when, although beaten at Newport by Willlams last year, he was rated the best tennts player in the United States, ives of the local club until answer the amendment. | McLouglin, had he displayed any such tennis in the national champion- willlams was handicapped, as the heavy bali on a slippery curt caused it to bounce and twist around, which interferad with hard driving. The ad- ditional weight of the ball pulled his low-flying drives closer to the net, no less than a dozen times hitting the | top and falling over for points. | McLoughlin captured all of hic own service gu..es and broke through Wil- liams twice in the first and final gani.—the set went to him at 6-8.

For a long time he was one of Fred Clarke's most time:y hitters and ; was invaluable hecause of his aggres- ! siveness and hustling qualities. When Clarke needed a first baseman he took Miller off second and placed him there. He did as well 2t one position asg at the other. There was trouble in the ranks, and Miller was one of the men who resented their reatment by the officials of the club. What was more, he thought his services were worth more ‘to the team, but Barney Dreyfuss did not agree with him. As a result a trade was made with ftee Cardinals. Since joining that team Miller has played as great a game as any inflelder in the National league. Huggins declares he would not part with him for any trade or 'sum of inoney that a club might offer. Williams, through his opponent's er- rors ran up a lead of 3-1 in the sec- ond set u1.d then fell down in starting for a deep drive, and then followed a complete reversal. In six games which followed Mec- Loughlin was the master, losing but three points, scoring eight earned points to two errors, and forcing Wil- laims into a mire of errors, the last three games going to him at love. Williams rallied fr eight games after that, which caused many to think he was reaching the game he showed last fall. Williams took the third set, 2-6, but the ‘‘Comet’ came bask in the fourth .:il showed the form displayed in the first and second sets and took the final set, 6-2. 1t took but eight n the last set and it was over.

St. Louis, Mo., Aug, T7.—Yesterday Brooklyn played the kind of ball they play at home and had little trouble defeating the Cardinals, 3 to 2. The score really does not indicate how badly the Cards were outciassed.
