Brookes on Form.

Brookes might have kept on at the top
of the heap for some time but for the
war. In view of the fact that all Is
known in this country of the present
form of Brookes has been gained from
second hand information. it would be
well to look over what a British expert,
speaking of the Brookes- Patterson con-
test for the English title, has to say
about the veteran. 1t is in part as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Patterson beat Mr. Brookes in
three sets, with the loss of only ten
games-and that without increasing
his reputation. He made more mis-
takes than in his previous Matches
and several blunders not to be ac-
counted for by the cumulative strain
OF long rallies. He stands very much
where he did. He had proved himself
the best player In the All Corners be-
yond cavil. but in a lean year the
match with the much travelled cham
pion of 1914 was to show his COM
parative rank. He beat Mr. Brookes.
but not the Mr.. Brookes of 1914. There
have been matches this year when other
players have shown themselves for a
time Mr.. Patterson's equals in the rail-
lies : and the Mr.. Brookes we knew of
old-admittedly the superior of Mr.. Bar
rett and Mr.. Ritchie--was expected to

'If Mr.. Patterson did not realize all our
hopes that IL our own fault for raising
such high hopes. To be criticised after
beating Mr.. Brookes in a challenge

compliment But II was a sad match
There was little OF the joy of battle
about it-such as one associates with
Mr.. Gore-and one felt, as IN some box
ing matches. as II one was looking on at
the discontinue OF famous veteran
rather than acclaiming the rise of a new
star"

Criticise Patterson.

It will be noted from the above that
there is at least one British critic who
does not feel that Patterson Is a world
beater. at least not at the present time.
II was pointed out in THE SUNS tennis
column some time ago that there was
a probability that Patterson would meet
much more stubborn opposition in the
American championship than he did in
the British titular tourney. and II Is
evident that the British critic In ques-
ton has an idea very similar From
this very fact 1t is not unlikely that at
Newport there may be n match remi-
niscent OF the Mclaughlin Brookes af-
fair OF 1914, but 1t is likely that II
there is such a match Patterson will
be one OF the contestants.
1t is hard to believe that there is no
player in American tennis who will not
be as good In the 1919 national cham
pionship ~ was Mclaughlin In the inter-

BY EUGENE n. o'CONNELL.

Judging from an announcement that
has come from the national lawn tennis
association. 1t Is evident that some one
is getting all het up over the possibility
of Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the California
Comet and Norman Z. Brookes. the
great Australian player. meeting in an
other match. 1t is pointed out that this
Is likely to happen at the Newport tour
nament, which will start on August 4, in
asmuch as the Australian players will
arrive in this country about August
and that McLoughln, with his doubles
partner. Thomas c. Bundy. will arrive in
the East about the same time.
1t is trne that whenever brilliant
tennis matches are talked Of the famous
International contest of Mclaughlin and
Brookes In 1914 at the West Side Tennis
Club comes In for its share of comment.
That was really wonderful match, but
1t was played five years ago. II Is a
matter of history that Mclaughlin has
not improved since that time. although
his admirers are hoping that he may
stage a comeback this year. and 1t Is
admitted that he is young enough to
get back into good enough form to re-
gain his lost laurels II he has not
burned himself out.
Brookes. on the other hand, has
passed the age of having a chance to
come back. In 1914 both Brookes and
Mclaughlin were at their best. Even
then Brookes was a marvel. for ne won
the British title from the late Anthony
F. Winding at an age when the average
athlete Is through with competition.
Even then he did not have the stamina
OF Mclaughlin. There is no doubt but
that there would be n great deal OF in
terest in a match between Mclaughlin
and Brookes, but II appears that It
would only be because OF sentiment and
not because Of an expectation OF a keen
contest,

HENRY JOHNSON BACK

Henry Johnson, one of the local boys who went thru the thickest of fighting in France but came out unscathed, re- turned to Williams, Monday. He landed in America on the 27 of May after spending several months with the army of oc- cunation, in Germany.
 MT. Johnson wears a ribbon decorated. with two stars indi- eating that he was in two greet battles. His discharge papers show that he was along the &C., tive front from August til the end of the war. From August. 10 to September 1. he was in the Lucy Sector. From Septem- Der, 12 to 16 he was in the St. Mihiel offensive. From Sep tember IT to October ' he was o'1 the Fnvizin Sector. and from October 19 to November II he was in the Meuse-Argonne of fensive.
 Henry went thru 1t all. mud, filth, stench. high explosives and gas, and yet came thru un- scathed. altho his company lost heavily both killed and wound ed. Luck was with him or he would not be here to tell about his experiences. But he has had enough of fighting. Amer ica looks good to him and he hopes never to set eyes on Eu- rope again.
 He claims that the American boys with practically no train ing out-fought all the other sol diers engaged in the war on either side, and the history of the great offensive proves that he is right.

Assistant State engineer, Par ker, of Phoenix arrived in Will liams the first of the week to view the different proposed routes for the Williams-Clark- dale road. Ed.

On Tuesday he left for Pine Flat where Nick Perkins met him and showed him over one of the proposed routes. MT. Willard Sevier who learned the country south, perfectly, while Forest Ranger, accompanied him on these trips and rode with him the remainder of the week to acquaint him fully with the south country.
 MT. Parker was formerly acquainted with the country south of the rim and after get ting a thorough knowledge of the country above the rim, he will be prepared to judge which route is best for the road. He states that Williams certain 1y needs the proposed road.
 The scenic beauty of the south road combined with our wonderful climate, make MT. Parker very enthusiastic over matters, and he predicts that the time will come when this country will rival California as a simmer resort. The one big thing needed to awaken peo- pie to the advantages of this action, he says is god roads. He is delighted with the prospect of spending sometime up here himself this summer.
