BILL JOHNSTON WEE
COMEBACK 0N
of Long Season
NEW YORK. April 5.9-Wll1iom
M. Johnston of California. twice
holder of the national lawn tennis
championship and the second rank-
ing player in the country ”dents
preparing in a California. gymnasi-
cm to make a strong comeback on
the courts this season. Johnston's
biggest problem has been to main-
tain his slight ponndage and hus-
band his strength in the champion-
ship matches. In 1923 he. lost the
title and the challenge bowl. upon
which he had two legs, to Tllden
after leading 2 sets to 1 and having
the advantage in the fourth set at
3—0. mainly because he did not
have the strength to see him through
the fourth and fifth sets. . When the
little Californian walked off the
courts after one of the most heart-
breaking defeats ever suffered by
any player in a national title tour-no
ament it was generally conceded flint
he had named his prime and that
he would never be able to? deiest.
Tilden in a championship 8811a.
Last year Johnston experienced
his most disappointing season since
he won the championship to: the
first time in 1915. He was detected
by James 0. Anderson of Australia
in the Davis Cup challenge round.
the first setback sustained by the
Californian in the play for the cup.
which he helped to bring back from
the Antipodee in 1920 and has help-
ed todefend each year since then.
Following his defeat at the hands of
Anderson against Tilden in the final
of-the national championship. and
the belief was strengthened that he
had seen his best days.
Trip Abroad Blamed.
Last year Johnston went to Paris
and won the world's hard court
championship and then went to
Wimbleton and gained the world's
grass court title. It was believed
that the strain of playing in these
tournaments and making an ocean
voyage was partly responsible for his
poor showing in this country when
he returned. The Californian (n—
n‘ounced after the close of the 1923
season that he would not go to'Eu-
rope this year and he is not regard-
ed as available tor the Olympic
team. Instead of going abroad, he
is preparing to make a. strong com.-
back on local courts and disprove
the statements that he is through as
a championship possibility. . .
Johnston has been a marvel to
physical culture experts for years.
They could not understand where he
secured the tremendous power in his
service and volleyinx. W’lth very
little muscular development John-
ston has been able to hold his own
in the sevéreet vollyinmand service
duels. Tennis and physical develop.
ment experts who have attempted to
solve this problem have come to the
speed and power lies entirely in the
perfect timing of his strokes. With 3
