Johnston and Clarence Griffin, of San

pions, yesterday defeated R. Norris
Wlllams, 2d, of Philadelphia, national
singles champion, and Watson M.
Washburn, of New York, in the first
match of the national doubles elimi
nation tournament to determine which
of the sectional champions shall play
McLoughlin and Bundy, the title hold
ers, for the national championship.
The scores were 6-8, 6-3, 7-9, 6-4, 6-4.
The match was one of the most bril
liant and spectacular ever seen on a
Chicago court, and the large gallery
was in constant uproar. The Pacific
Coast champions fought an up-hill
battle from the start, but the east
erners were unable to sustain the ter
rific pace of the final three sets.
It was by breaking through the
service of National Champion Williams
that the Californians forced an oppor
tunity for victory when the easterners
seemingly had the match well in hand.

G-l. in the third round of the men's
