Cup at Southampton

in the country go through their PAGES.
Both seemed 10 have plenty Of pep
and thoroughly enjoyed the brush.
The doubles match found the stands
iammed to their capacity, and on the
vcrandas the men and women sat and
stood twelve deep. The upper balconies
were festooned with fair women, and
some of the more venturesome among
the men folk assembled to the sloping
roof 10 watch the East ana West clash.
There were no ping-pong tactics in
this match, no hesltancy about strok-
irg the bal! and disregarding the gale
that whistled around the court. Every
man of the four hit out hard and fast,
and the crowd applauded in delight.
After taking the first set a. - John
ston and his partner found the struggle
waxing keener as Church and Hall
abandoned caution and relied on indi-
vidual play to wrest victory fire.: the
California pair.
The rallies were as fast as chain
lightning, with Johnston the most spec
tacular Of all. He had a marvellous
eye for the openings to-day, and time
and again crashed his terrific forehand
drives squarely between Hall and
Church as the latter pair reached mid
court.
But the Eastern pair was bent on
gaining a victory at any cost and finally
broke through on the ninth game. and
then won the tenth and the second set
at Cd. Church scored on :he most
sensati onal kind Of shots, smashing the
Westerners' lobs with deadly accuracy
and making many difficult gets" by
racing back to the base line after shots
that had eluded him at the net.
lall i H., To-. l.T i ri
earned fully as many points as his
partner and proved stone wall of de-
fence against the Westerners' driving
tactics.
Little Griffin, going al out his work
quietly, caught the eye of the gallery
by his GOODNESS under fire and his
readiness to take advantage Of the
openings
The match was q stirring one in the
last two sets. and il was only after
calling upon everything in their roper
tory of shots and court generalship
that Johnston and Griffin scored at
, 6-4 and Is, giving them the match.
