two, oil others being merely notifications
of these two. One is the drop stroke (often
erroneously styled "Lawford.") 1t is made
by hitting the ball very hard. u~susally near
the ground on its descent, without any side
cut ut all, but with a lifting motion, which
imparts . downward shoot to the ball after
it mas zone a certain distance. The advan-
tage of this stroke is that the greatest pace
may be put into it. The drop stroke is used
by H. A. Taylor. s. 4. Chase, +. L. Hall,
V. G. Hall and Hobart. and in a modified
form by Campbell, Knapp and others.
The other is known as the side stroke,
and 10 made by striking the ball on the
side With moe or less cut, which serves to
retard its speed. 1t is claimed that more
by the drop. 1t is used by Hovev, Hunt
ington, Slocum, P. s. Sears and many
others.
Tit volley is less necessary than the
ground strokes only because it cannot be
used as much. A ball can never be volleyed
until after two and usually three strokes
have been played. It is made by some of
our best players with a decided cut, and by
with scarcely any. Huntington,
Hovey and Taylor employ the former
method, and Campbell, E. L. Hall and Ho-
