not so long ago from his home in the State of oranges and champions, that William M. • (Little Bill) Johnston, one of America's immortals of the racquet, had retired. One of the finest things about that tribute of regret, was that it came from just as many who never had met

Johnston

the diminutive wizard of the net, but knew only by the unfailingly creditable reports of him in the sport columns. Thirteen years ago, the Californian swept the National championship against a field of notable stars. After the war, he came back to register another triumph in 1919 From tnen on, the mighty Tilden took the crown, and it was six times that Johnston was the runner-up. In the years of his campaigning among the first ten, Johnston was a quiet, indomitable player who always gave the utmost to his game,
