Bv FRED HAWTHORNE.

William ". Johnston, the twenty
year-old youth from California, is the
new lawn tennis champion Of the
United States. He won his title in
thrilling four-set match with Maurice
Evans Mclaughlin, yesterday after
noon. in the final round Of the all
comers' tournament, on the courts Of
the West Side Tennis Club. at Forest
Hills. Long Island. Johnston won by a
score of l-6, Go, 7 5, 10-8.
Besides being the youngest man who
ever held the championship, Johnston
probably had the most terrific struggle
before Mclaughlin succumbed to su-
perior speed and staying power that
was ever witnessed in a national cham
pionship tournament.
Until yesterday that gruelling l7-lo
first set between Mclaughlin and Nor
man +. Brookes, in the Davis cup
matches. a year ago last August, on
the same court, was regarded as the
most tremendous struggle in the an
mails Of lawn tennis, but those who
witnessed the titanic battle the
Comet" put up in the final set against
Johnston yesterday afternoon were al
most unanimous in their declaration
that il outshone the international con-
test of year ago.
Mclaughlin in the last six games
worn down to the point Of exhaustion
recling on his feet, gave one of the
greatest exhibitions Of unfaltering
courage in the face OF almost certain
defeat that has ever been seen on
court in this country.
Between each game after the twelfth
the man who has hitherto been con-
sidered practically invincible sought
the brief rest afforded him by sitting
on one Of the linesmen's chairs back
Of the court. 1t was only with an ef-

Match Before Big and Enthusiastic Crowd
on West Side Courts.

fort, pushing himself up with his arms,
that he rose each time to renew the
struggle against the tearing, plunging,
smiling Johnston, who finished with an
irresistible burst of speed.
Mclaughlin Shines in Spots.
Several times, notably in the first
set and for short periods in the third
and fourth, McLoughlin's playing was
Of almost unbelievable brilliancy, and
he brought off shots that il seemed i'm
possible TO execute. But the vital
spark necessary TO sustain these mete-
oric attacks TO the end was lacking,
and Johnston. who had fought with the
same unhagging zeal and fierceness
throughout the match, was an impress
sive picture of champion as he shot
dazzling forehand volley squarely
across McLoughlin's court for a place
ment ace on the final point
When il was over and Johnston had
vaulted over the net and held an out
stretched hand toward Mclaughlin. the
latter folded one arm about the youth
who had just sent him down to defeat
after a bitter struggle, and both walked
slowly 70 where Eddie Conlin. the UNI
pire; Robert ID. Wrenn. George T.
the national committee stood on the
side lines.
When victor and vanquished started
toward the clubhouse the thousands
n assed in the stands stood up as one
person and thundered forth a welcome
TO the new champion and farewell
to the man who had held the title
twice before.
The crowd was little less remarkable
than the match it had gathered to
witness. Never before had such en-
thusiasm been shown or the feelings
Of the onlo0kers aroused TO such
nervous tension as Johnston and
Mclaughlin battled for he mastery.
Il was a triumph for the West Side
Tennis Club, that conducted the tour
nament, and for the game as IT is
played in America to-day.

The Comet was even greater in
defeat than in the days when he ruled
the lawn tennis world. and this was
shown In striking manner. When the
match was over and Johnston was car
