Battle Of Brains
THE Johnson Shimizu match was
L battle of brains as well as Drawn,
and in gray matter the American was
a match for the Oriental star, but in
stamina he was not quite his equal.
The shadows were long and the evening
well on its way before johnson, almost
exhausted, dropped the last two games
Of the contest.
1t was a baseline struggle and they
chased along the chalk line until their
spikes almost obliterated the mark.
Johnson's deceiving chop and clever
strategy were educating and inspiring,
but the steadiness of the japanese and
his remarkable endurance were equally
as great. ..
BY the same motion johnson would
cut one to the back court and then drop
q soft one just over the net. He had
the Far fastener coming in and going
back. while he himself sprinted from
| from one sideline to the other, drawn
by the clever placing of the opposition
The match was marked by many long
rallies and often the ball would pass
over the net couple Of dozen times.
THE victory Of Shimidzu was the
L first 50 far in the tourney that
came near the unexpected. Although
athlete twice last season, johnson
generally was picked as the favor.

Patterson's Binding Speed
PATTERSON gained revenge over
L Hunter with a straight set victory
for his defeat in the same fashion by
the New Rochelle star at Seabright
more than a month ago. The Australian
won S-6. 6-1, rs.
The Wimbledon champion was ex.
ceedingly severe in his service and
kills and his binding speed could not
be handled by the husky Hunter. The
former Cornell captain also had trouble
with his own delivery. He tried to beat
Patterson at driving, but he did not
have much accuracy.
Patterson and Hunter play the same
style game, relying on terrific speed for
points, and when 1t comes to power
there are few who can equal the sturdy
Australian.
uUNTER lost, but he won many
IL friends by his determined and
game effort. He feels he can beat
Patterson and he longs for another
chance and this is the real American
spirit. ''

EX-AMERICUS DAUGHTER
PRESENTS SWORD

Among the interesting features of
the convention Of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution in Valdosta
last week, which WAS largely repre-
sented by Americas women, was the
presentation by Mrs. e. B. Patterson
of an old sword which was carried
through the Revolutionary War by
Jones Persons, who was born in 1858
and died in 1851. He was descen-
dent of William Persons, mLmber
Of the Provincial Congress, represent
ing Wake county, N c., and a great
grandfather of William Pinkney Per-
sons, of this community, who is the
father of Mrs. Patterson, a frequent
visitor to her parents here.
The sword was given to Mrs. Max
Land, state regent Of the organiza-
ton, and she in turn will have it plac-
ed in the National museum at
Washington, among the other historic
relics already gathered there
