For two hours the towering Australian n and the slight sorrel-topped Califor- nian brought into use every atom of strength and degree of skill in their struggle for supremacy, and so closely were they matched that at the end of the contest Johnston had won by three sets to two. 26 games to 23. 166 points to 154.
