batteries and bear down on the Comet
who sometimes faltered on stroke, but
never in courage.
The title holders won the next three
games and the second set az 6-3, but
still the crowd placed its faith in Mac
the Red. 1t looked as though the Comet
and his partner had stemmed the tide
in the third set, for they ran into
lead of So on games, eventually win
ming the set at IS, largely on Nc
Loughlin's wonderfully brilliant play.
In the sixth game Of this set the for
mer champion brought the spectators
up standing by winning the game win
a tremendous smash from deep court,
leaping into the air for the ball, when
went careening over the backstop net
and into the stands. The Comet was a
blaze of energy and speed. Into every
section of his court he leaped ana
plunged, refusing to be put out OF any
play.
Makes Furious Attacks.
Powerful smashes and lightning
drives were mixed with cunning change
of pace by the great Californian, and
practically unaided he swept Johnston
and Griffin before the fury of his at,
tack, nor did he stop until the set had
been won and the seven minute rest
interval called.
But It was the final effort, for the
champions, moving forward to the net
again in relentless, irrepressible prog
ress, clinched the fourth set, the match
and the championship by running into
lead Of 81 on games. By a won
derful squirt Mclaughlin and Dawson
made it Sail, but the effort used up
their last strength and the champions
closed in irresistibly, taking the last
three games in a row for the set at
6-3.
The Comet was serving to Johnston
for the final point. Hardly had he
started for the net, following in his
service, than Johnston, 1.-THE, alert,
caught the ball on his forehand and
shot it back so swiftly that Mclaughlin
was compelled TO take the return right
a. his feet and could only pop weakly
into the net Thus was the champion
ship won for the second time by John
ston and Griffin.
The matches to-day will be played in
the order in which the players came
through yesterday, Voshell meeting
Philip Vandeventer, etc.
