Johnson's game was heady and
steady throughout. he varying his
play more than his rival, mixing 'em
up at all times in the duel thar was
played from the base line, with now
and then an invasion of midcourt or
of the net. The Philadelphia turned
the tide his way by brilliant streak
that he began with the score 2-3
against him in the fourth set. He
took nine straight games to give him
this set and lead of SO on the final
one before Washburn could get set
tied down again. The New Yorker

Johnson number 10 in 1920. and the
former has played much more tennis
this year than the Philadelphian.

lines.
