Az an exhibition Of impressive power
I'D cerfect stroking Johnston's playing
,o-dav has rarely been equaled. The
s,rrsr national champion was de-
s,ssalv different player when facing
t;s ala rival this afternoon than the
,ns,, who had been going through the
,-a~sans rounds TO the final bracket at
,a;snrelv pace. From the time he
s,-,et the first ball until Williams had
isst the anal point of the match with
driving lob as he attempted to re-
r,ver a deeply placed return to the
Ills line Johnston was afiame with en-
ergy and tigerish speed.
b, the ball every moment, he shot
h..k his returns with an amazing show
- sneed and pace 1t was impossible,
.rasr these conditions, for Williams to
s,;rv off the shots that had dazzled
tbs Gallery on previous days. He was
rom1elled to hurry his shots because
~ the very fury of little Bilrs" at
tack. and under this continual pressure
/. Williams was forced into errors.
where. against Colbert and Hunter, the
lakewood ace had been winning with
delicately executed trap shots, alter
mated with his own whiplash drives,
today Williams was piling up errors,
and aginst the whirlwind brand of ten
MS that Johnston was producing these
errors were an insurmountable obsta-
Gle to Williams's hopes.
Mrs. Mallory on Losing Team
Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup and
Miss Helen Wills won the women's
doubles by defeating Mrs. Molla Blur
stedt Mallory and Miss Phyllis Walsh
at liz, e. The first set was a
struggle Of the keenest kind, with Mrs.
Mallory working desperately hard to
turn the tide in the face of great odds.
Mrs. Jessup and Miss Wills worked to-
gether beautifully, both favoring the
ret position from which to direct their
main attack.
Miss Walsh, although she occasional
~ came through with sparkling shots
at her post by the net, made q dis
tressingly high total of errors after
Mrs. Mallory's splendid forcing shots
had opened the path wide for the
"hll." Time after time the Philadel
phisn landed returns Of "sitters" in
the net or volleyed easy shots out Of
court. This was a fatal handicap
against the spirited attack of the
IOUHS 1>dSL-n GHL NOIllDtndIAOUy dIfQ
after the first set had been fought out

year-old partner went through the Sec
ond set quickly, allowing their oppo-
nents only two games.
r. P. Clarkson, of New York, UNI
PRED this match, with the line calling
done by an all-feminine cast. The
Misses Helen Ward and Claire Kellogg
acted as officials at the score board
snd extremely fetching officials they
made,
Following his singles match with
Williams, Johnston paired with J. @
Anderson, of Australia, in the doubles
and defeated the Kinsey brothers, Rob
ert and Howard, OF California, by a
score OF 6-3, 7-5 in the semi-final
round. Johnston was the same terrific
attacker in this match that he had
proved himself to be in the singles,
and 1t was largely through his agrees
siveness that he and Anderson won in
= straight sets. The tall Australian, al
though inclined to be erratic at times,
on the whole backed his partner UP
well, bringing off some spectacular vol
leys and severe smashes of lobs. The
Kinseys were not at their best to-day,
their shots not having the necessary
pace CT depth to bother the opposing
pair.
