The Menace to the Caribou

In all the thousands of miles from Vancouver
to the North Sea and from Edmonton to Dawson
the country is dotted with hunters at intervals of
from twenty to one hundred miles apart. From
this will be that the game has way of

hundred miles where the crack OF the gun is not
heard. With nearly every one 1t is case of do

method of delivering it that Mr.. Gould can make

an opponent who has been voeying it well.
Mr. Goulds most difficult service of this kind
to my mind is not 80 hard deal with that
of some other players, notably Mr. V. H Pen
nell: but while Mr. Pennel will deliver, perhaps,
only six out of ten well nine out of ten is not
overstating the proportion of Mr.. Goulds good
ones The secret of this accuracy is again, OF
course constant practice, and the service IS un-
doubtedly of Mr. Goulds sources Of strength.
for it gives him the attack time after time. and
one has often players vainly endeavoring to
make chase of any kind to get Mr.. Gould to the
hazard side.
But a match winning asset. which after all is
not the be all and end all Of tennis. is its only
claim to distinction. Otherwise such service, by
whomsoever delivered. is abominatfon. II can
never be a service the delivery of which has
grace at all; and worse STILL it often effecu-
ally prevents the opponent making any attempt at
attractive stroke off it, and it encourages as
general rule slap dash sort of game.
THE opponent has several replies to it. but only
the volley the court perhaps the most eff
fective, has the elements of pretty stroke What
is left beyond this? A hard hammer or a stifr
