CALIFORNIA NET STARS MAKE FINE
 SHOWING IN EAST
William M. Johnston Picked By Some to Dethrone
 Bill TiIden
By Associated Press

New York, August 22-A little group of California men and women and children came east few weeks ago with some tennis racquets. They arc going back soon with almost everything the cast has to offet in the way of champions. silver bowls and cups. If they couldn't get the whole cup, they took one of it's legs, Two things they wanted but failed to capture were the women's na- tional championship and Suzanne Lenglen's goat. Mrs. Molla Blur stedt Mallory acquired both for the greater glory of the east
 It was with the hope of showing Suzanne Lenglen that she couldn't corner the market in olive branches and laurel wreaths. that the two greatest women players who ever came out of the west-Mrs. May Sutton Bundy and Miss Mary K. Browne-returned to tournament play from long years of retirement. h Mrs. Bundy's case the absence ex- tended over almost IA years, and Miss Browne had been out of the title chases half that long.
 Suzanne Saved
 Because Suzanne Lenglen coughed In opportunitys face when he knocked at her door last Tuesday. neither of these Californians who once were titular tennis queens met her. But they met and con- quered most of the other women stars assembled hereabouts, with the exception of Mrs. Mallory and Miss Eleanor Goss.
 And Mrs. Mallory will never forget the thrilling. slashing game she had to play last Friday to eliminate Mss Bundy in the national semi- finals, nor the stamina and tragedy she was forced to summon" to retain her title the following day after Miss Browne had won the first set of the finals.
 Willis E. Davis of San Francisco, won a leg on the Meadow clubs cup Richards last winters winner in the challenge round.
 Kinsey Brothers Do Well
 The Kinsey brothers, Robert and Howard of California, were semi finalists in the doubles at the New pert invitation tournament, and fi- nalists at Seabright when they lost to the Davis cup combination, Will Hams and Washburn.
 Phillip Neer of Leland Stanford, Jr., University, the intercollegiate champion, and Wallace J. Bates of the University of California, gar nered plain and fancy victories in an assortment of eastern tournaments, and William M. Johnston of San Francisco. is picking on everybody that gets across. the net from him. Particularly he is annoying R. Nor ris Williams, II, of Boston. John- ston won both the Longwood tour nament and the one at Seabright by defeating Williams in the finals.

NATIONAL TENNIS DOUBLES MEET BEGUN AT BOSTON
Net Stars From All Over the Country Meeting in Cham
 pionship Event

Boston, August 22.-The national lawn tennis doubles championship tournament, contested by teams holding sectional titles or with high standing, was begun on the grass courts of the Longwood Cricket club at Chestnut Hill today without inn portant upset.
 The American doubles combina- ton in the Davis cup challenge play, R. Norris Williams, IL, and Watson NJ Washburn, continued their suc- cesses of the year by defeating in straight sets the Leland Stanford university team composed of Phillip Need and James Davies, 6-2, 7-5, 6-1. This was the best play made of the oay. but the gallery about the cham pionship courts showed great inter partners of W. T. TiIden, II. world singles champion. playing in compe- tition for the first time in a month, and Vincent Richards, his youthful conqueror of several weeks ago. Ttey teamed effectively after separation of two years to win in straight sets from the southern doubles titilists. B. NJ. Grant and C. Y. Smith. 6-1, 6-2, 6-1.
 Kinsey Brothers Win
 The K;nsey brothers. Robert ana Howard, southern Californian cham ptoiis, again displayed their abilities as doubles experts and advanced over Marshall Allen and William holders, G-2. GA, 7-5. The British Davis cup players. Max woosnam, and O. c. N. Turnbull, went ahead without effort the veterans. w. A. Larned and w. J. Clothier default ing.
 W. NJ Johnston and Willie E. Davis, combining as fellow Califor- nians, gained a place in the third round by defeating Irving C. Wright and II. B. Guild. local players, who with them had drawn bycs for the first round play. It was straight set victory, 6-2, 6-1. 6-1, that found Davis in rare form and Johnston Tn command of his usual finesse of stroke.
 Tnden Applauds
 The collaboration of Williams and washburn brought applause from Tilden as he watched them from the stands after his own victory with Richards. Williams, without the sem sational strokes which he shows at times. played a steady game that was in harmony with the usual evenness of his play by his partner. Although off form in his service to the extent of frequent double faults, he scored as many placements as any other two players in the contest. Neer and Davies kept the veterans on the alert constantly and in the second set threatened to gain success Neers service in that set was suc- cessful each time. winning three of the five games for his team. The Cslifornians failed In the third set, however, winning only one game.

The 'pairings for the latter as announced today. show Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory and Tilden teamed again and Miss Mary Browne paired with w. M Johnston.

 "Heat?" someone questioned.
 "Nope-job," he replied.
 And immediately there was under standing.
 For Tlynns job. as matchmaker of Madison Square Garden, New York, sizes up as about the toughest thing In the world. 4
 I'm just now at work trying toI make up cards for the first two shows at the Garden this fall," ex- plained Flynn. T got in touch with about twenty fighters and asked them what they'd want to mix it.. All this fever on my dome comes from reading their answers.
 Want the World
 "The most modest of them want only the contents of the New York sub-treasury. The birds who think they're really great want about s2,- 100000 more than the national wealth of the nation. And they all get fear fully upset when I tell 'em calmly and unafraid that they aren't worth it.
 This business of matchmaking al- ways was tough--but in the last year or two its becomes a lulu of a thing. I've been sicing the boys onto each other for 20 years and I've bumped into a lot of funny situa- tions in that sweep of time. But those of the last 12 or 15 months have eclipsed everything that's gone De- fore.
 About the worst thing a match maker can do when hc has hooked two non-champions together is to let one know what the other Is to get.

 future who are offered eleventh hour jobs as substitutes It is this:
 Eleven times during the past sea- son at Madison Square Garden one of the fighters originally scheduled couldn't participate. Flynn scurried everyone of those eleven substitutes won the battle.
 Matchmaking has other difficult ties than doling out money to the boys and keeping them happy" added Flynn. The main thing is to please the crowd with well-matched tussles. It is rather singular fact that thern was not single knockout in the first 34 fights I staged at Madison Square Garden last fall. Most of these bat ties were so close that the last round duelling often decided 1t.
 Mix 'Em Up
 Now you'd think that the trick of giving the multitude 34 straight fights between men so wonderfully matched would have resulted In my being benighted or appointed King Of Ireland, or something pleasant like that. But instead the folks who keep the turnstiles clickering got little fretful. sensed immediately that they wanted a few fights end ing with one bozo or another rest ing on the canvas. So got busy and matched up sluggers every now and then. knowing that the bout wouldn't go the limit; that one or the other would win with sleep poke.
 Mixing up a few knock em d cad battles with contests between fast. clever boxers has made everybody happy--excepting me. And I'll never get that way again until & law Is passed permitting matchmakers to shoot fighters who ask for more than $250,0oo for 45 minutes of public and health giving exercise"

 The office was crowded With ap- plicants all day. Most of the Ameri- cans said frankly that they were broke and were looking more for three meals day than any military excitement.
