HOW THE ENGLISH
PLAY At TENNIS
AMERICAN AND BRITISH METHODS
DIFFER ESSENTIALLY IN THE
FINER POINTS or PLAY.

Tennis players throughout tho United
States have not been SO active in many
years as they have during the present
season. The great old English game
seems to have taken new lease on life
The presence of DIR. PIN in the Eng
lish team which has been playing in the
East is quite puzzle to the tennis men
who are posted on the history OF the
game. DR.. PIN was in his glory as
player between the years 1905 and 1900
With r. .. Sloker he won the champion
ship OF England in doubles. In 1893 and
1904 he won the championship title in
singles. and in addition nc held the Irish
championship in 1903, 1904 and 1905 In
the latter year he easily defeated I.arned
Chace iovcy, Hobart and his team mate,
IL. 5. Mahoncy, on the American trip
made that season. For the last seven
years he has not been real factor in
the English championships. however, and
the american players are Wondering why
he was sent over to this stIe to compete
with Our own experts. HuJ
With the Doherlys il Is different For
years the national association has been
trying to induce them to come over but
without success until this year. Until
this year the Dohcriys held the English
championship, and although they lost the
title last June TO Smith and Riscly. Amer
leans still believe them to he the greatest
team in England today and would sooner
meet them on the courts than any others
IL Is interesting 10 watch the styles
OF the various players and note the cvolu-
ton OF the game itself. Up to the year
1900 American lawn tennis was practically
an imitation OF the English game. In
that year Ollie Campbell mere lad Of

was necessary To win championship

OF net play won the championship and
rcvolutionizcd American lawn tennis at
the same time, lie repeated the victory
in the two following years aud SO fastened
the change upon the American style.
Since that time the English and Amer
ican methods of playing tennis have been
divcrging more and more year by year.
The American plays a brilliant, hcady. re-
sourcciul aud aggressive game, while his
English cousin - careful. conservative
and steady. The American will take risks
at the net that the Englshman would not
dare TO attempt. 1t is his aggressive tao
ties that makes the American player so
successful.
With the American tennis as scicn-
tihc game and in the finer points Of the
play he far outshinos the Iinglishman
On the other hand. the Britishcr is more

BLIND HORSE MAY YET

Wise Ones Are Predicting That Rythmio

Those who have watched the famou,

colt became frightened and ran away with

Turney, his owner, turned him over to
James llukill to handle the rest Of the

the difference when "A lantern Is brought

began to drive Rythmic this season the
great horse had little confidence in him

has evolved original ideas which will, he
thinks, materially increase the speed of
the great trotter. He has ordered the
lightest and finest trotting harness ever
made. The buckles and other mountings
are made of aluminium gold bronze, which
will be the lightest material that these
goods can be produced of; still they have
the strength of steel with the appearance
of gold.
The saddle of the harness is perfectly
oval and made as smooth as the finest plate
glass, and yet its strength is SO great that
it would hold secure the widest horse
that could be harnessed. The lines are
extraordinary in their quality and are
made of the finest imported English rus
set rein leather; they are so soft to the
touch that they feel like the finest kid
glove. The bride has unique rein,
which combines the effect of an over and
side check rein.
