In the Johnston johnson tilt tho Cali
fornia player did not let himself out
very far in the first two oats. He played
good, steady tennis, but avoided playing
any harder than he had to. In spite OF
this fact his game was brilliant, and that
of johnson was not lacking in bright
spots. Through these two sets Johnston
held the upper hand continually.
johnson Outguesses Rival.
In the third set Johnston had the lead
ut 3D.. but johnson managed to play
wonderfully we'll during the next three
games and took them all by his ability
to outguess the Californian. This out
guessing on the part Of Harry Johnson
was specially notew orthy. for there have
been mighty few tennis players who
have been able to accomplish this feat
very often in the same match. Tho lead
OF 5-79 was sufficient to give the Bos-
tonian the edge on the set, for all he
had to do after that was to win on
service. and he did It.
In the final set Johnston started with
rush and ran of 1--WE games in a row
taking them with the loss of only seven
points and doing IL in less than ten
minutes. Tie Californian then rested Up
for while and the Boston player took
advantage ot~-the lapse to win two
games but these were his last victories
of the singles tournament, for Johnston
finished the match on the eighth game.
Once again there was considerable in
terest in the playing of Maurice e. Mo-
Loughlin. The California Comet won
from p. B. Hawk Of Philadelphia at
60. 6-3. "a. but very few conclu-
sions could be drawn, for his opponent
was not strong enough to make Nc
Loughlin hustle. The fact remains how
ever, that the sting seems to be gone
fiom his service and his smashes, al
Though on a couple OF occasions he did
slam one over with plenty of speed.
Furthermore. Mclaughlin has grown a
great deal heavier and Is slower
May he Holding Back.
However. Mclaughlin may still sur
prise all of the wise ones, His game
is so different from what 1t used u be
that many believe that he is holding
himself In for the harder battles vet to
come. His back hand and his ground
strokes were better to-day than they
were yesterday and he showed consider
able of the old ability to make gets
with other players would not even 20
after.
