gently but quickly lifts the ball I'D and
deposits 1t on the other side of the
net in much the same manner as a mother
lays in the cradle the sleeping child. His
opponent scratches gravel and attempts to
reach the ball IN time. but he fails. 1t has been
set over the net SO gently that it has n very
short bound and the stroke is almost a sure
one.
A study of these strokes and the conditions
OF the game will convince any one that a good
player must have the qualities which insure
success in other athletic sports. 1t will be seen
that there Is a good deal in the game and tina;
as an outdoor sport it is likely to become more
popular.

"CUT YER GRASS, MISSUS?"
An Important Washington Summer In
dustry and How it is Pursued.

Two half-grown colored youths were clipping
away vigorously with sickles at a grass bank in
front of a Massachuse avenue mansion YES
terday afternoon. They had very nearly
finished the job when a STAR reporter hap
pened along, and one of them dropped his
curved knife to fill a bushel basket with several
loads of the cut grass. while his companion
raked the stuff together, and carry them to a
cart by the sidewalk. The cart was piled high
with the grass dumped into it. After every
thing had been cleared up in this way the boy
who had done the rakins rang the house bell
and received a silver % cent piece from the
maid who came to the door. 1t was he also
who very willingly gave the newspaper man
some information about his business.
'De season fer grass-cuttin', " said he, "am
from de fust oh May to de fust Oh October. 1t
is a money-makin' business in Washin'ton. sab,
whar nearly cherry house has a lawn to it.
Most often they're too little to make il wuth
while to keep a mower. an very few folks
knows how to use a sickle or to keep it sharp.
So there's lots of men an boys that earns a
good hbbin i'll dis town goin' around an keep
in de grass cut. De bes' way am fer two to
wuk ~togedder, as PARTNERS, wild Il kyart to haul
de grass away, sah."
s."How much pay do you ask?'
"As much as we think we kin git, sab; but We
know pretty nigh onto what folks is willin' to
give nearly allus. We go from one house to
anudder, whar de grass shows signs OBJ wantin'
to be cut, and at each place We make an offer.
S'posin' it's only a little bank as wide as de
house, like dat one across de way, we say to de
pusson dat comes to de door:
LADY, cut yer grass for ten cents
'If its the servant. she sees her missus, and
mebbe it's a bargain. S'posin' she says all
right, We goes ahead. cuts de grass, collects de
money and kyarts de stuff away. Sometimes
we make a contrac' wild people to keep deir
grass cut fer SO much a season. An ole gem
man dat has q lawn-mower works wild us when
a big place has to be moved. Some days we
earn % an some days %; an den de grass am
extry."
What do you do with that?"
use it to keep de boss; an what we don't
noed we sell. It's de berry finest kind OBJ grass
and fetches a good price. When We git il
home we spread it out an let it dry in de sun
fer hay. Oh, .yesi dis am a right smart psyin'
business, ssh."

jority OF players 10 receive the ball on the
right side. The racquet is ready in position. 1t
Is possible. at times. by a quick return movement
to get in position for the ball from that side.
As a rule. however. the action of the ball is so
rapid that the player has not the time to shift
his position. He must take it as best he can.
Hence arises the need of the backhand re-
tnrn, which brings the racquet i'll play on tho
left side. When a player uses his lett hand
with the same facility as he does his right
hand, if he is quick enough he can shift the
racquet from one hand to the other and make
tho play. But with the majority of players
there is a necessity for the backhand stroke,
which by practice becomes very useful.

THE OVERLAND SERVICE,

In the tennis game the
ball Is put i'll play by a
stroke called the ''serv-
ice" There is n differ
ence of opinion as to the
importance OF the serv-
ice in the game. Some
players rank it higher
than others. Generally
speaking it may be said
that it has not the i'm
portance given to it in
TIE early days of tho
game. Then there was
a kind of a mania for
variety in the service
stroke. Under the in
huence of this period

is one of those quick
strokes made when the
ball is in rapid action,
which appeals to the
eye of the casual spec
tator. 1t is an exhibit
ton of quickness thati is
appreciated. Before

movement to get the
ball on his right side.

styles IN use. naImcly the overland. the re-
verse overland. forehanded and backhanded
underhand and the undarhand service with the
cut. All these STYLES had their day. but now
the style that is used by the best players is the
overland. The underhand service with a twist
is sometimes seen. but not often. An expert
player with the overland service drives the
bail with great force and accuracy, and it is
necessary for the opponent to be skilled in the
game to make an effective return. As may be
seen by the illustration, this stroke requires the
free handling of the racquet and accuracy
when using it al arms length can only be at
tanned by constant practice. This free use of
the racquet in other plays. as will be seen, is
the feature OF an expert players style.

the service. In some cases the racquet il
making this stroke is drawn straight up. which
gives the ball u downward tendency and con
stitutes what is known as 1.-The Lansdown,
stroke" whether this peculiar turn to tn,
bail is given or not this stroke is strong AM
vigorous, and it requires a great deal Of skill
to return the ball. The position Of the plays
enables him to put force into the stroke.

RETURN,

Next in importance to
the service stroke. which
puts the ball in play. is the
return stroke, by which the
ball Is returned after hav-
Ing been sent across the
net. The usual style Of
this stroke is the forehand,
and, as shown In the ac-
companying illustration,

SMASH.
One of the picturesque
features of the game is the
smash. 1t is N t
always a sure point. The
stroke is used when the
ball Is in such a position
that the player can ham
mer it back to his oppo-
nent with so much force
that 1t is practically i'm
possible TO return it. The
action OF the player in
making this stroke is as
fine rs in any part of the
game. The mastery of
stroke is one of the de-
hnhtFul can0atInnu Of N

THE RErrrN.

The ball is not al
ways returned in places
where it is most con-
venient for the player
to send it back. In
fact. one of the features
of the game is to place
the ball where the OPP
ponent will be placed
at the greatest disad-
vantage. It is con-
ycnicnt for the ma

A BAD PORTLAND RETURN.

The same stroke from
another position becomes
weak and ineffective. 1t Is
easy to see why this is SO.
The accompanying cut
shows that the player is
unable TO exert but a small
proportion OF his strength.
A return made by such a
stroke is an easy one to
capture and enables his OPP
ponent to take his time
and place the ball where
it is almost impossible to
return it. The player prac-

THE HALF VOLLEY

Another popular play is
the half volley. This is a
stroke made by a player
who runs up to a ball and,
instead of waiting for it to
bound. strikes just as the
ball is about to touch the
ground. 1t is not an ordi-
nary stroke, as the volley
is preferred, but in some
instances it is the only

of the games attractive to spectators. The
court then is full of motion. the ball is in con-
slant play. and as it is kept flying from side to
side the strokes are watched with expectant in
terest. Finally the ball is struck into the net
or beyond bounds and the volley is over.

The underhand service
without the cut is the one
that the new player natu-
rally uses at first. There
can be no weaker service.
1t is impossible for the
player to develop much
force in II stroke made in
this fashion. 1t is easy to
Learn, but it is of no fu-
ture advantage, and for n
player who uses it the
sooner he abandons it tho
better. 1t is one of these
