He seemed anxious to get away from the

fact three kings are dead and a new one
has arisen. William NJ. Johnston gained
the crown yesterday afternoon at Forest
Hills In a very remarkable match. That
he has fairly earned his new honors and
fully deserves them none will dispute,
but the fact remains that the final match
for the championship was not a very
good exhibition Of championship play.
There was too much excitement to
permit the highest class Of tennis. II
was fine for the spectators and they
had a royal time with innumerable
thrills. but II was very hard on tho
players and their accuracy and speed
suffered In consequence. McLoughlin
was a disappointment and those who
saw him beat Brookes and Wilding on
the same bit of historical turf could
hardly believe hat he was the same man
who made such magnificent strokes In
those matches. As a matter OF fact
the Comet has been suffering ever since
because It was impossible for him to live
UP TO such a standard.
M~cLoughlin Lacks Old Dash.
Yesterday he lacked the strength lacked
the speed and lacked the steadiness that
were necessary for such deeds and he
lacked the perfect physical condition that
gave him the much needed endurance
he showed last year. Even at the end
OF that famous Ills set against
Brookes the Comet was stronger than
yesterday at h end of a 1913 set. At
the net he missed a dozen or more easy
chance to kill that used to be as rtpe
fruit for him to pick off In easy fashion,
and his old time forehand drives from
the service did not have the same "devir'
in them that we have all seen before.
II was the Mclaughlin OF 1915 that was
beaten yesterday. not tho Mclaughlin of
1914. and there is a considerable gap
between the two, Not one word of this
Us intended In dispa rasement of John
ston's victory. for he was not called on
to beat Mclaughlin last year; II was
this season. and he accomplished that
fairly and squarely.
Both suffer Nervousness.
Now as TO Johnston. The new cham
pion did not play the same game tina,
beat Williams. by any means. He suf-
fered too much from nerves to do that
In the fourth set both men seemed al

Johnston Is only 90 years old, the
youngest national champion on record
for the United States. Although his
record for the season il none too good,
he certainly has played consistent cham
pionship tennis in this tournament. It
is a long time since any man has won
with so hard "A draw and so much real
work to do as did he. To have beaten
the three great leaders OF the country
in succession seems honor enough in
itself. but Johnston added TO the list
Griffin. one OF the best Of the next
class, and Hackett, That he Ia a poor
starter Is shown by the fact that he lost
the first set to Rehr. the first set to
Williams and the first set to Mclaughlin.
The situation in tennis now seems at
first glimpse to he the same az In golf.
Last week the big three Of golf. Travers,
Ouimet and Evans, were all beaten in
the national championship tournament.
and now all ~ the big three in tennis
have followed them into the disca I'd in
similar fashion. But there is this vital
difference. After the somke Of battle
had cleared away from the golf course
not one OF the conquerors OF the cham
pions had taken their crown. while in
tennis the player who defeated not
one but all three OF the leaders replaced
them as champion OF the country.
Victories Not Upsets.
Johnston's victories cannot he con-
sidered now as upsets NJ all, but rather
as the rise OF a new champion who had
10 step over the others in order TO
secure his place, Instead OF the big
three In tennis now we must consider
the big four. for Johnston has entered
the charmed circle.
His success speaks we'll FOR the
chances OF his team in the challenge
round OF the doubles to-day, and despite
my failure in picking Mclaughlin 10

favor their chances to-day to beat Nc

ter than Bundy and Johnston yesterday
proved TO be better than Mclaughlin.
What earthly chance has the Eastern

Will Not Rebuild
 The Graehl Bridge

Territorial Road Overseer H. II. Ross has announced that, owing to the fact that the cost of permanent repairs would be too great, he will not attempt to reconstruct the bridge along the government trail between Garden Island and Graehl. Instead, he will cut out road from the Moves bridge up the north side Of the Moves slough through Wm. Youne's ranch to the Fox trail
 The road is already there, having been used for years, but 1t will have 10 be cut out in one or two new places to make it pa5sable. All traffic to Graehl will therefore have to go by that route unless the Graehl ferry is used. However, it is probable that foot bridge will be put in across the slough where the big bridge was washed out by the recent flood.
 In speaking of the bridge, MT. Ross
 
 to put the bridge in proper shape This amount the territory is unable to spend on the bridge at the pres ent time,
 Mr. Ross also states that the lum Der at present in the Graehl bridge can be used to better advantage elsewhere. Therefore, if permitted 10 do so by the road commission, he will probably move the lumber 10 other points on the creek trails and use it for constructing other and smaller bridges.
 R. J. Sommers, local superinten- dent, says the matter of the recon struction of the bridge is entirely in the hands of Mir Ross. He will, how ever advise about it with his Su- periorS at the head office of the road commission at Valdez.
