TITLE HOLDER
HANDED Beating
Richard Norris Williams De-
feated by W. M. Johnston
in Forest Hills Tennis.
FINALS PLAYED TODAY

Forest Hills, Long Island. Sept ga
tennis champion was dethroned here this
afternoon, and tomorrow a former cham
pion will have to outdo his best previous
efforts II he is to cap with success his
campaign to regain his old crown. The
dethroned champion Is Richard Norris
Williams. and the former title holder,
who will meet Williams conqueror to-
morrow; Is Maurice Evans Mclaughlin.
Williams conqueror was William NJ
Johnston, of the Pacific Coast, and John
ston's win marked the most sensational
feature of the national championship
tournament, which has been in progress
for the past week on the courts Of the
West Side Tennis Club. He won after n
heart-breaking fight Of five sets. The
score was 81, Ga, 81. Ga. g.
Williams fought hard before relinquish-
ing the title which he won from Nc
Loughlin at Newport last year Indeed
1t was his fighting spirit which actually
caused his downfall and rendered him
unable to cope with Johnston's irresisti-
bic attack in the last set after he had
won the first and third and had over
come leads which other players might
regard as insurmountable obstacles
When the big test came in the fifth and
deciding set the Harvard player found
MS energy spent, and failed.
Johnston played even better tennis tha n
ne did against Karl Behr and Clarence
Grinln earlier in the tournament. He
played wonderful tennis and as the re-
suit OF the game which he displayed
there are man. qualified critics here who
believe that he will be successful in his
match with Mclaughlin for the national
championship tomorrow.
McLoushlin, too, displayed a wonderful
game against Theodore roosevelt Pell,
whof he defeated in strrIghht sets at g.
60. IS. He emplo' ed his cyclonic net
tactics and smasned overwhelmingly
from all parts OF the court and against
an opponent who played a good game
and who is regarded as one of the craft
lest generals in the country and pos
sesses the best backhand stroke in the
world.
Mclaughlin was extended only In the
third and last sets. This went to extra
games not Decause the comet failed to
maintain his furious pace. for he did. but
rather because Pell raised his game to a
plane almost on a par with his own. In
the first and second sets the conqueror
of Norman Brooks and Anthony Wilding
was invincible and played his mightiest.
He will have to duplicate and perhaps
better the form he displayed in these sets
to defeat the diminutive H. Johnston.
