Boston, July 2l.-W. NJ. Johnston. the
eghteen-year-old player from San Fran
cisco. who came out OF the West with a
reputation as another Mclaughlin, estab-
iished his position in the East to-day
when he eliminated Gustave r. Touchard,
the speedy New York man. in the second
round OF the Longwood Cricket Clubs
twenty-third annual lawn tennis tourna-
ment for the coveted Longwood bowl.
The score OF this match, which was
the feature OF the opening days card,
was %. ll-9. O.
IL was not only the young CaIfornian's
first visit east OF the Rocky Mountains.
but II also was his first important match
on grass court lie was confused in
the first set, nervous, uncertain of his
game and apparently without defence
against the dashlng play OF Touchard.
But the early stage fright passed off, and
from the second set on it was a contest OF
almost equal strength and skill. Several
tines Touchard was within a few points
Of winning. but his opponent fought him
off and finally pulled out victory.
Touchard established n lead OF four
games to one I'm the third set, only TO
have Johnston capture five In a row.
Touchard played twenty-seven hard
fought games with Richard Bishop. Of
Boston, in the first round. while Johnston
was without competition through a de-
fault OF his opponent, J. q. Nelson, the
Dartmouth star.
one of the surprises came in the victory
OF Dean Mathey, of New York, the inter-
collegiate champion. over Robert lie Roy,
Of New York. in straight sets.
The day closed with the drawings for
the Eastern doubles championship. which
starts tomorrow morning. Forty pairs
will take the courts.
As the holder of the Longwood trophy
Maurice L. Mclaughlin, of California, is
in Europe with the American Davis Cup
team, this years winner will score one
leg on the sixth cup that the club has
offered.
