M’LOUGHLIN STAYS IN GAME

California Star Will Not Forsake Pastime That Made Him Famous— Will Return to East. Maurice E. -McLoughlin, the California star has not forsaken the game that made him famous. At the close of the title tourney at Forest Hills, 111., the former national champion said: “I am quoted every year as saying that I have played my last set of tournament tennis, while as a matter of fact, I have never made such a statement. Any man who has been an athlete and then enters a business career with its confinement indoors knows it is impossible to keep his physical condition perfect. That has been my trouble, but if I get the opportunity, I will return to the East and tournament play.”
