JOHNSTON'S WORK
AGAINST MURRAY
HIS BEST EFFORT
Former Champion, No. 2 on
Ranking List, Played
Brilliantly in Finals
DEFEATED THREE TIMES
By WILLIAM T. TILDEN, ID


Following the great record OF r. N. Will
liams, Cd, comes the work of William M.
Johnston, last years national champion and
this seasons runner-up TO Williams There
can be dispute TO Johnston's claim TO
No. 2 position for 1916, since it SO closely
follows the present champion that many
critics feel that 1t nearly equals It.
What has Johnston done in 1915? He
has won the Longwood tournament. was
runner-up at both Newport and Forest Hills
and defauited at Seabright and Southamp-
ton.
At Longwood he easily defeated Joseph
J. Armstrong in the finals after Armstrong
had defeated both Griffin and Kumagae.
He simply swamped the Philadelphian.
At Newport Johnston defeated in turn d.
ChampliR, 6-2, 6-3. Ga; G. w. Wightman,
6-2, 6-4 Sc, 6-3; Richard Harte, Ga,
6-s. 6-3; w. NJ. washburn. 6-2. 6-2, 6-3.
and in the seminal Harold A Throckmor-
ton, As, 6-1 6-3, 6-3. Then came the great
battle in the final, when Ichiya Kumagae
proved himself the sensation of the present
season by conquering the national cham
pion 6-1, 81, 81, 2-6. 81, In one of the
greatest battles ever staged on the famous
courts Of the Casino.
Best Work Against Murray
At Forest Hills Johnston went through
the easy quarter of the hard half, His
greatest victories were over Hunter, N. w.
Niles. Beekman. Washburn and in the semi
final Murray All these matches were
Johnston's In straight sets, his work against
Murray being his best effort for 1915.
Then came his wonderful effort against
Williams in the never to- be forgotten finals
of the 1915 championship. when he had VIC
tory IN his grasp only to have II snatched
away from him by Dicks wonderful rally.
Score, 4-s. Ga. 0-6, SO, 81.
Johnston was marvellous IN the opening
of the struggle, playing the same sensa-
tional tennis that gave him the national
title last year.
Johnston has defeated Carl Gardner, C.
J. Griffin, J. O'Neale, Roland Roberts, WASH
burn twice). Armstrong, Wightman, Harte,
Throckmorton, Hunter. Niles, Beekman and
Murray. while he has lost twice to Will
liams lin the east vs. west tourney and the
iational finals) and to Kumagae at New
port
Well Balanced Game
Johnston's game is a perfectly balanced
one. He has the most beautiful ground
stroke in America, hitting with accuracy
and great force both on forehand and back
hand
Johnston's so-called mid-court game is
really a delayed method OF rushing the net
as he plays his first volley return from
about mid-court and then follows in TO
hnish the point from the close net position.
Most players strive for this latter position
for their first volley shot.
Johnston has a fast slice service seldom
carrying a severe twist His overhead Is
accurate and OF medium speed, but lacks
| the terrific speed of his fellow Californians.
There is no better model for the rising
young tennis player TO pattern after than
Billy Johnston. Either as man OF player
| Johnston always rings true

What does that prove?" II proves. for one
thing, that IL you hit the ball right II is
going in the general direction you desired
1t to go. 1t may prove four or five other
things, but for the moment We can't think
what they are.
The National League should rise upon
its hind legs and emit three rafter-ringlng
cheers Can you imagine what terrific
citement there would have been In the
pennant race after June IS II McGraw had
started the season with the ball club he
has now? The odds are that he would
have been only twelve or sixteen games
beyond the next f1uttering pursuer with
as many as 2i7 fervid fans paying ad-
mission to seven rival parks.
Revised Motto
None but the Braves deserve the glare
As we understand 1t, the winner OF the
Moran-Fulton match is to yank Jess will

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 2. - Within the last five months the most com pIete medical organization knows to the United States army has been developed to care for the 150,000 state and regular troops stationed at bor. der points and in Mexico.
 The system includes five base hos pitals, located at Strategic points in the long stretch of border territory eight camp hospitals at other points where troops are stationed, canton ment hospital at Columbus, N. NJ, to serve the force on duty in Mexico and 26 ambulance companies and 41 field hospitals distributed among the troops in the field.

C., the General Army and Naval hos pital at Hot Springs, Ark, and the Lettiman hospital at San Francisco. About 1900 beds are vacant in the three hospitals at the present time. In addition, number of army posts have been selected for transformation into general hospitals in case of emer- gency. This list includes Fort Mo Pherson at Atlanta; Fort Oglethorpe, also in Georgia; Fort Benjamin Harri- son, Indianapolis, and other army sta tions where barracks are available for hospital purposes.
 The medical corps has complete equipment in storage for 20 evacua- tion hospitals and two base hospitals.

 The base hospitals now in service are located at Fort Sam Houston, Fort Bliss, Brownsville, Eagle Pass and Nogales, Serving as feeders for these institutions are the camp hospitals at the following points: Laredo, 120 beds; Del Rio, 75 beds; Maria, 150 beds; Deming, 180 beds; Douglas, 300 beds; Llano Grande, 200 beds; Mo Allen, 150 beds, and Fort Clark, 150 1 beds.

Kentucky State Fair Provides for
Boys Pig Clubs in An Elaborate Manner
Many Counties to be Representations be Given Fres
Trips to the Great Fair.

IN 1915 boys pig club was
introduced into Kentucky. Thir.
teen counties were organized
under the leadership Of their
county agents and 649 boys became
members. Local shows were held and
the winning boy from each county re-
ceived a free trip to the Farmer Boys
Encampment at the State Fair. Six
teen boys we're given this trip and
eighteen pigs were exhibited. This
was the first state pig club show in
Kentucky. Although the exhibit was
small, the interest was so great and
the showing so good that tho pig club
has become one Of the most popular
ard beneficial boys clubs In Farm
Demonstration Work
from this small beginning the boys
pig club has spread to 40 counties with
a membership of 1880 boys In a single
year. Bankers, business men and
farmers have co-operated to the ex-
tent OF placing over 100000 worth Of
pure bred hogs In the hands of these
boys.
The state agent and county agents
co-operated in organizing. holding
meetings, securing registered pigs.
visiting members, and instructing
them along the proper lines OF animal
husbandry.
The 1916 pig club started May 18th.
Each boy had gilt between two and
four months OF age, and most Of them
secured registered pigs. Record books
were furnished the boys and the
pigs were weighed and ear tagged by
the county agent at the beginning Of
the contest.
