NET CHAMPS
MEET TODAY
Williams and Johnston, From
last and West, Clash For
Championship

FOREST HILLS, l.. l.. Sept g.
The tennis championship OF the
United States today rested between
the present champion. William NJ
Johnston, of California, and a for
ner champion. r. Norris Williams
I'd, OF Philadelphia. These two
the very best of the countrys play
ers by all past records. probably
Will furnish the most interesting
contests of the tournament when
they clash this afternoon
The order of things as they stood
at the end of the tournament last
year has been slightly reversed, for
at that time Maurice f. Mclaughlin,
former champion, had worked his
way into the finals and Johnston
had taken the measure of Williams
in the semiflnals. At that time
Johnston was three straight sets
from Mclaughlin, after losing the
first one.
Last year Johnston had great
deal of trouble with his eastern OPP
ponent and won only after Williams
had taken the first and third sets.
II that is any indication of what to-
days match will be then the cham
pion faces q real fight.
Johnston never played better ten
mis- than he has displayed on the
West Side club courts. He will &c
in today against Williams favorite
with every one. Williams has been
going at top speed.
Johnstons match yesterday with
Robert Lindley Murray, in which he
won in straight sets, was the best
indication OF his power. Murray
had been expected to give the cham
pion the hardest fight of the tourna
ment, but Johnston met his every
effort with surprising ease.
On the other hand. Williams haC
just as easy a time In disposing o
Clarence j. Griffin. His errors were
more numerous than those whom III
will meet today. but Williams al
ways was prone TO take long chances
and invariably scored many errors
Both he and the champion are ex
pert shots at the sidelines and base
lines. so the final match probably
will bring out some great sharp.
