had discovered some new good method
OF beating their opposition. for they took
Three out OF the first four games.
The former champions were not to
enjoy their lead very long, however,
Tor Pen and Behr played fast enough
tennis to win four OF the next Ave
games and led at s.. Then zach team
won on service up to eight all. AS the
Eastern team had started the service
1t usually had the lead, but the Pacific
coast pair tied the match at eight all and
broke through Behr's service on an ex-
ira point game, to take the lead and
then the set on the very next game.
with Mclaughlin at bat.
Third and Fourth similar.
The third and fourth sets were almost
analogous except that they resulted diff
ferently. In each set the Western pair
won the first two games, dropped the
third. fifth, seventh. eighth and ninth.
and won those intervening. In each
case 1t 80 turned out that Pell and
Behr. after getting away to a bad
start. led at S.. In the third set,
which Mclaughlin and Bundy won. Pell
and Behr were In the front at 6-5, and
in the fourth, which went to Pell and
Behr, Mclaughlin and Bundy had the
advantage at 6--5. so that in each case
the winner had to run out on three
straight games. The fifth set brought
out some remarkable rallies OF volleylng
at the net and the teams kept even,
winning on service up 20 four all.
Pell had n hard time winning on his
service in the ninth game. which went
to deuce four times before II was fin
ished. The game brought out a remark
able bit of true craftsmanship on the
part OF both Pell and Mclaughlin.
which ELECTED all sorts Of cheers from
the gallery. with the score deuce
McLoughlim smashed n lob to the base
line which seemed perfectly good TO all
the players and the gallery. The lines
man. however. misJudged II and called
II out. thereby giving the vantage
poipt TO pell instead OF 10 Mclaughlin.
The gallery voiced its disapproval.
and Fell deliberately made n double
fault. IN order to even up for the point.
Mclaughlin. however, was Just as good
n sport, and In order to abide by the
decision of the linesman hit the next
service out Of bounds. Bundy netted
the next ball, and the game, which
practically meant the match. went TO
pell and Behr. The latter pair finished
the contest by breaking through NC
Ioughlin's service on the tenth game
after deuce had been called twice.

not the fiery hattle that was seen last
Monday. when the two met in the semi
mai round OF the all Corners. The young
champion did not play nearly up to his
capabilities. The match meant nothing
IN his young life. He had gathered In
all the honors his heart desired In win
ming the national titles in singles and
DOUBLES. and yesterdays match In the
event OF victory would have been merely
another defeat OF Williams.
After the champion had thrown away
many chances In the opening set. and
eventually the set itself. he showed OF
1ust what kind OF stun he is made and
ran through seven straight games On
williams. This gave him the second set
at love and the first game OF the third
set. thereby making n parallel OF his
performance against Mclaughlin in the
final round of the national championship.
As against Mclaughlin Johnston II
undoubtedly the first to AVE taken seven
straight games from williams since the
latter grew up. Accomplishing that
against either Mclaughlin or Williams
in a match is n remarkable performance,
but on both within a week is without
precedent. As In the first set Johnston
threw away any number of chances in
the third and four;h sets. In both OF
which ne seemed unwilling 10 extend
himself chasing the ball. and hence al
lowed many shots to go for placements
which he might nave returned.
Grimm Not Anxious Either.
Grimm. too. seemed lazy in his match
with Niles. The doubles champion team
member carried off the first set by some
hst play In the ninth and tenth games
after Niles had kept the score ever up

games OF the second set. The Bos-
tonian took the lead AZ 90 in the
Oecond set and was NOT headed, although
Griffin made q fight. In the third set
the Californian kept on even terms UP TO
three all and then fell by the wayside,
losing the last three games, in which
he scored only two points, Griffin was
very slow In the last set and won only
one game. The point scores:
