The Manawatu “Daily Times” thus refers to McLoughlin, one of the competitors in the Davis Cup contest: “Ho was the most popular man at the tournament, and the terrific character of his service was sa d to be awesome. He bashes them in while poised on one toe like a ballet dancer, noth every ounce oi his weight behind the hall, and occasionally he hits so hard that lie ’breaks his racquet, so he came on equipped with four for his game. It took all the deadly determination and accuracy of Brookes to beat him, and at critical stages of their game deuce was called eight times before Brookes got the score.”
