Defeats Belgian Star for
Title—Mlle. Lenglen
Wins.
8T. CLOUD. Me! 37.—
‘William M. Johnston. California. won
the International har court tennis
championship here today defeating
Jean \l’ashcr, the Belgian star. 4—6.
6—2. 6-3, 4—6. 6—3.
“'asher gave the American e ‘18
battle throughout the match although
Johnston's superiority was evident.
Johnston had his customary bad
streak of luck in the first set. but
played in championship form in sec-
ond and third. His forearm smashes
and placing were hard and accurate.
“'asher grabbed the fourth let on
‘ Johnston: service in an unimproasive
style.
But the American came back in his
usual pinch hitting style in the de-
ciding Hot. “'bile the crowd watched
with tcnso interest he played masterly
tennis and outgoncraled the Belgian
who was steadily weakening under
tire of Johnston‘s superior play.
Johnston drove low cannon-ball
smashes to dust the top of the net and
\Vasher was bewildered.
Mmle. Susanne Lenglen won
the International Hard Court Tennis
Championship here to—day defeating
Miss MacKane. the English girl after
a hard struggle. 6 to 8. 6 to 3.
The French star was not her usual
self. Her accuracy wavered at times
and she lost games by overshooting
the baseline continuously.
Suzanne became exhausted at the
end of the match. Although she was
undoubtly superior her friends are
wondering if she is weakening or just
had an "off-day."

tra. bases. But when hits meant runs
