JOHNSTON AND Brock WIN
IN CARNIVAL TENNIS GAMES
Hoogs and Castle Play SpIendidy, Latter Almost Winning
Match by Fine Work-Luck Veers TrfIe in Favor of Cali
forRiaR-TodayS Matches Promise Well

Both players jockeyed for position and
then won point by a we'll placed
ace. Brock won the first game after
long struggle. Castle followed by
taking the next two and then Breck
eVened up, making it two all. Castle
again spurted, taking the next two
games. At this point Castle apparent
ly unconsciously let up, for his playing
lacked the sting and net work it had
before. Brock won the next two
games after long rallies. making it
four all. Castle took the next, but
Brock was not to be denied, and in
the tenth game of the set, with the
score at 80 all, he made a wonderful
sove on his back-hand, which finally
won him the match. The score of tais
set was SO, and Brock received a we'll
merited round of applause for his
fine work. The element of luck figur-
ed little in this set, for Breck won
two games on balls which struck the
top of the net, and a close line deci-
sion favored him at a critical moment
The last set was taken by Breck at
6-3, the same brilliant tennis figuring
in this as in the other two sets.
The Castle-Breck match was remark.

match, it took two hours to play. 1t

rallies at the net took the crowd off
it's feet and brought forth prolonged
applause.
Today at 3:45 p. m, Johnston plays
Lowrey in the semi-finals and at 4:45
Larned meets Breck. The second
match should be the hardest fought,
as Breck's high bounding ball on the
back-hand will not bother Larned as
it did Castle.

Before a large and brilliant gallery
the two California tennis stars won
hard-fought matches yesterday at the
Pacific tennis courts. The first match
was between Johnston and Hogs On
PAPER this should have been an easy
win for Johnston, but the local man
put up a surprising fight and pressed
the Coast player to two dence sets.
1t looked to the crowd as if Johnston
was off his game, but Johnston said
after the match that Hogs service is
very similar TO Tom Bundy's, only
even better, and, this rather upset
him. He stated also that Hoogs got
back some balls (which appeared to
him impossible.
Hogs was distinctly nervous when
he started off andfit looked as if John
ston would have walk over, but
after a couple OF games Hogs borrow
ed Castles new Mclaughlin racket
Perhaps there was magic in the name
Mclaughlin, for Hogs certainly came
back with a vengeance and forced
Johnson to two ia, Is sets.
Johnston lacked his phenomenal
speed yesterday. His overhead work
also was not up toshis usual standard.
due to the fact It fat he was playing
the early match \ nen the light was
bad. His placing, lhowever, was very
accurate and had it not been for
Hoogs' marathon abilities the match
would not have been so close.
The second match, between Castle
and Brock, was real thriller. Castle
started off strong, winning point after
point on placements, while the Coast
player appeared q trifle nervous.
Castle won the et,after some spectac-
ular playing by the score of 60. The
second set was battle royal and had
the spectators continually applauding.

HAS DADDY TIME GIVEN
JOHNSON THE "ONCE OVER?o

Has Father Time given Jack John,
son the once over?
Men who follow the boxing game
closely and know all the boxers from
the sturdy little Kid Williams to the
colored champion are wondering If
Johnson can at this stage of life battle
with the same dash and vim he pos.
sessed when he toppled over big, lum-
bering Jim Jeffries at Reno in 1910.
Next month Johnson will be 81
years Of age. Most boxers pass
the period of usefulness before they,
have reached the 30th milestone. Is
Johnson such a marvel that he can
upset the traditions of the ring?
March 6 will tell when he steps on
the elevated platform at Juarez with
the giant Jess Willard.
The contest is scheduled to go AZ
rounds. The point is, can Johnson at
this stage of his advanced life travel
that distance successfully against n
man SO much larger than himself, a
man who, while he may not size up
on even terms with Johnson as to
boxing merit, experience or even hit
ting, r, endowed with strength, game.
ness, fine condition, and above all
youth. Willard is but % years old.
To many competent judges of boxing

has a monumental task ahead.
