Johnston's Drives Win
Johustonis severe drives TO Pat
terson's backhand in the back court
featured his first set with the young
Australian star. Patterson replied
to his drives weakly, and his vouey-
ing backhanders were driven back
with Iightning speed by the Cali
fornian. Johnston had won three
games before Patterson was able %
score a victory, and finally won the
set 6 to 9.
The econd set showed plainly that
Johnston had Patterson's measure as
he won the set almost at his own
pleasure. Patterson won the first
game. but failed to break through In
another contest during the set, which
ended six TO one in Johnston's favor.
Patterson's volley which crossed the
net were so weak that Johnston was
able to run IN and score with light
ming drives
The third set was a repetition OF the
second. Patterson's play growing
worse each game.
Johnston won i've straight
rames before Patterson gained
