to beat Bert Cole.
San Francisco had taken four
straight from Sacramento, the fourth

the most uncertain of all sports,

certain things in this eccentric
world, for It is well known that the
competitive golfer never Is long at

be coming on his game, or sliding
ofi it, most of the time. And his
performance In any given tourna

ially by the stage of his game at the
time.
It Is a' matter of record that Jerry
Travers at Garden City was so far

Little Bill Johnstol, one-time
mighty atom ol the tennis courts,
has staged a come-back In one of the
most serious battles he has ever had.
Word comes from California that
the former national champion has
emerged the winner in a battle to
regain his health, shattered by a
break-down several months ago,
Wher. lung trouble developed un
expectedly, Johnston went to a hos
pital weighing only 119 pounds, but
he still possessed and exhibited the
Indomitable will-power that made
him famous In the days of his epic
battles with Big BUI Tllden.
Two and a half months later. In,
July, Little Bill weighed 134 54. His
doctors assure him he now has noth
ing to worry about and that his re
covery will be sufficient by Septem
ber to allow him to return to work.
While at the top of his brilliant
game.. Johnston, exhibited more
stroking power per pound than any
other figure in the gome.
'- He risked his health frequently in
exhausting . battles. On one torrid
afternoon seven years ago at Sea
brighv. saw Johnston emerge from'
a hard-fought victory over Dick Wil
liams, weighing seven pounds lass
than when he stepped on the courts.
Just as Yankee pennant prospects
for years have depended ' upon the
geed health and digestion of Babe
Ruth,, and Davis Cup hopes have
hinged annually on Big Bill Tllden, so
do. the American polo forces rely on
Tommy Hitchcock to supply the prin
cipal driving power. .
Consequently, It Is of . much con
