The Newport News Press seems to know
a thing or two. It says:
1T is a fact, and every one knows It,
that at each session of the Legislature
there are men who were elected to make
and maintain the laws. who spend
considerable portion of their time in
poker and other gaming joints, breaking
then-the laws. We never heard of one
of them breaking the gambling joint"

nail on the head in the following: wv by
Professor Sledd should have made this
attack is curious problem. He, OF all
men, ought to know that the colored
man who knows his place and who is
orderly and respectable is far better
treated in the South than anywhere else.
He ought also to know that the law
:lessness and troublesomeness of the me-
gro has not been inherent meanness in
the negro himself, nor has 1t been
caused by imposition on the part Of
Southern whites. Chiefly it has been
the result of the evil influence OF the
political carpetbagger who put into the

ENGLISH TENNIS METHODS
DIFFER GREATLY FROM OURS

Now that the national tennis cham
pionships are over, and the title. in
the singles at least. remains on this
side of the Atlantic, it is interesting
TO note the differences in the Ameri-
can and English method of playing
The short. snappy strokes used by
Whitman and Larned in the singles
Contrasted sharply with the long full
arm drives of the Britons. Il. +. Do
herty-who, by the way, is put to-
gether ON the telegraph pole plan
avoided short forearm strokes when
ever possible, preferring to straight
en- his arm to its greatest length
whenever opportunity affords. This
appears awkward to the initiated
but the visitor demonstrated thai
good results can be obtained from its
use.
The Englishmen showed decided
preference for base-line play. DR..
PIN is a well-known exponent of this
style of game and it proved disad-
vantage to him in his opening games
y well-Lnown English expert speaks
as follows regarding the English
style of play:
The follow through and the use
cf the shoulder appear to me to he
the cardinal feature of lawn tennis
If | were asked to mention the things
which rank next to them in import
ance. ! should say that they consist
ed. firstly. in Keeping ones eye who'll v
ON the ball and ON nothing else, as ii
bounds and as one strikes ii; aRl
secondly. in using the greatest pos
silrIe speed in striking ball after if
has bounced. Many players watch
their opponents. and not the ball, as
they are making a stroke.
so much for following through at
lawn tennis. 1t would be idle to say
that it is easy or that il usually
comes naturally to players. If it
did we should see great
deal more of it than we do at pres
ont. There is a great difference be
tween hap-hazard tap or blow which
most players give the ball with Il
hazy idea where it is going) and the
firm follow through of players who
know already the place where their
return will pitch. The only way to
learn the dodge is to watch good
players and to think of it every time
one plays Il stroke until one can do il
with facility"
