WILLIAMS VICTOR
FOR TENNIS TITLE
Harvard Boy Wrenches Cham
pionship From McLoughlin
in Straight Sets.
WESTERNER IS "OFF GAME'
Critics Say World's Champion Ten
nis Player Has "Gone Stale" and
Drives in Xewport Play Lack
Usual Sting to Win.
NEWPORT. R. L. Sept. 1. Catching
the champion in the doldrums and
playing with sustained brilliancy, R.
Norris Williams H, of Philadelphia and
Harvard, today snatched the chief lawn
tennis honor of the country from
Maurice E. McLoughlin, of San Fran
cisco, who had held it for two years.
Williams' victory was in straight
ets, the scores being 6-3. 8-6. 10-8.
The result was one of the greatest
surprises of the athletic year. That
Williams might take a set from the
1913 champion was generally conceded
by close followers of the game, but
that he could make it three sets and
match was regarded as entirely im
probable. "Mac Off His Game" la View.
His own explanation after the match
was the one generally accepted by all
who saw the contest.
"Mac was off his game," he said.
But McLoughlin was no further un
der his own game than Williams was
above the brand of tennis which he
had previously displayed. There have
been times since Williams entered the
American tennis arena, three years ago,
when his play was equal to McLough
lin's best, but his brilliancy has been
only In flashes, which it has been his
hardest problem to sustain. He solved
the problem today and it was Mc
Loughlin's misfortune that his oppo
nent's long sequence of successful ral
lies, perfect drives and unplayable
aces found him far below par.
Overturn Great Surprise.
The overturn was totally unexpected,
as McLoughlin had been an almost
prohibitive favorite for the match, and
the retention of the title.
In the opening set the first four
games alternated on the service. Then
Williams broke through and captured
McLoughlin's service on errors by the
champion and soon ran out the set, the
score being 6-3.
Williams had the second set three
games to love, when McLoughlin
dashed in and evened the score. The
games were quickly played, very few
going to deuce, and after McLoughlin
had made it six-all. Williams won the
so t.
McLoughlin Hard Loser.
The third and last set was fiercely
contested. Williams obtained a com
manding lead, but McLoughlin squared
the set in the 12th game. In the 14th
game Williams was within one point
of the match, but could not pull it off.
In the 16th game McLoughlin was also
within a couple of points of taking
the set, when errors gave Williams the
game, and again the set was even. The
Philadelphlan then Jumped in and took
the next two games and set.
In overcoming the champion, Wil
liams reached his highest form of ten
nis. Although the match was fought
through three long sets, Williams com
manded the situation at all times. His
service was superior to McLoughlin's,
his returns marvelously sure and the
usual slump which developed in his
former matches did not appear during
today's play.
On the other hand, McLoughlin
seemed to have gone stale and except
for a rally in the last set, did not dis
play his usual dash. His errors were
frequent and although he pulled off his
service aces occasionally, his drives
were handled in fine shape by Wil
liams. The points were as follows:
First set:
Williams 142 444 146306
McLoughlin 404 021 424 21 3
Second set:
Williams 454 101 534 251 45 448
McLoughlin ..130 444 350 434 13 396
Third set:
Williams 144 050 424 140 444 514 54 10
McLoug'n 402 434 040 424 166 311 49 8
Williams carried off 17 clean service
aces, to 11 for McLoughlin. In addi
tion there were a score of services
which McLoughlin just managed to
reach and were leniently credited as
nets or outs.
Drives Lack Sting.
On the other hand, the drives of the
1913 titleholder lacked the usual sting.
His forceful smashes, which the won
derful Brookes could not handle, were
easy for Williams, who drove them
back with even greater vigor. And to
cap all. the tactics of the Harvard man
were fully as good and at times better
than those of the Calif ornian. Mc
Loughlin also was unfortunate In
having eight foot faults called on him.
three of them resulting in double
faults.
In the 16th game of the last set Mc
Loughlin was within two points of the
set and the prospect of a 20-minute
rest to regain his fast-ebbing strength
when his three nets and a placement by
Williams again tied the score at eight
games all. Then the champion faded
away.
The crowd saw the shift of the ten
nis crown from the auburn hair of the
Californian to the black pompadoured
Philadelphlan without the slightest
demonstration. The result seemed too
amazing for words, much less for
cheers, and the players, still the
closest of friends, walked to the club
house unaccompanied. McLoughlin
wore his characteristic smile, while
Williams seemed dazed with his new
honors.
Williams is 22 years old. Until
three years ago he was absolutely un
known on tennis courts. He acquired
his game in Switzerland, and when he
appeared in the Summer of 1912. after
a miraculous escape from the sinking
steamer Titanic, he proved the sensa
tion of the season. He was a member
of the 1913 Davis cup team, and was
victorious in one of his two matches.
This year he fell before McLoughlin at
Longwood and was defeated by both
Wilding and Brookes in the Davis cup
events. He entered Harvard in the
Fall of 1912.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept- L At a con

Coast League held here today, at which
San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles
and Sacramento were represented, the
failure of Sacramento to support the
team representing that city was dis
cussed. ,
It was the sense of the directors that
Sacramento games for the remainder
of the season be transferred to the Bay
Cities, with the idea of having a sec
ond club representing San Francisco
and of providing Oakland with more
games on its home grounds.
This move, if approved by the whole
league, will be made next week, and
will be tried out as an experiment with
the view of maintaining permanently
two teams in San Francisco and of giv
ing Oakland its full schedule of games
at home.

first round of match play on the Ek
wanok links today when Charles
Evans, Jr., of Edgewater, Western
champion in 1911 and a prominent
fiture in the recent open champion
ship tournaments, was eliminated by
Eben M. Byers, o the Allegheny
Country Club, of Pittsburg, Pa., Na
tional champion in 1906, and runner-up
in 1902 and 1903, by a score of one
up. Byers won largely because of his
ability to play his approach shots dead.
Jerome Travers, the -title holder, was
carried to the 17th hole before he could
win from J. B. Schlotman, of Detroit.
The champion was in good form, go
ing out in 36 and taking 33 for the
eight holes coming In. when he won,
2 up, one to play.
Travers will meet Byers tomorrow
in what is expected to be the feature
match of the tournament.
Francis Ouimet, last year's open
champion and the French amateur title
holder, had to play the full round to
dispose of H. R. Marston, of Bal
tusrol. Ouimet went around in 74, tak
ing a two for the 13th hole, while his
opponent made the course in 75.
Old records for the National amateur

were finished this morning.
Ray R. Gorton, Braeburn, and W.

new figures for a 36-hole qualifying
total with 144 strokes each. The best
previous record was 116 by Walter J.

Fownes made a 74 and this com

him with Gorton for the medal at 144.

In a recent game it became evident
that a pinch hitter might be needed in

"Ball four!" shouted the umpire, and
before Stallings could name his pinch
hitter five of the Braves, each armed
with a bat, were marching toward the
plate.
This from the L. A. Times:
"The way the Portland team insists
on torturing the Wolves, Seals, Tigers
and Angels is clearly a case for the
Humane Society. If McCredie and his
men could only be put In JalT and
kept there, somebody in legitimate
Pacific Coast class might stand a
chance to win a pennant,"
Taking It from that, it is evident,
then, that a team which plays baseball
is not in "legitimate Pacific Coast
class" at all.

Sounding the Sport Reveille
SIX months ago the organized base
ball magnates were visibly agitated
over tha Federal League, but they de
clared it only a passing fancy and
predicted that by July 4 It would all
be over. They assured the minor league
magnates, who were becoming restless,
that the Federal would not injure them
much, but at this late date the stars
are still Jumping and there is every
probability that the Winter will see a
lot more minor league .stars camping
along the Feder.il trails.
The latest to make the switch is
Larue Kirby, of the Mobile club. Kirby
was the leading hitter of the Michigan
State Leagne in 1913, and at the end of
the season was sold to the Giants for
a goodly sum, but McGraw decided that
he needed more seasoning and sent him
to Mobile, where he has made good.
Then the St. Louis Federals put out a
line and caught him.
