A fault that beginners and average
players have Is To hit every ball hard
and to kill too often. Players should
first learn and master the correct
method Of making strokes, second, ac-
quire control over the ball before be
ginning to hit hard. To put speed on
the ball the player has to time his
stroke TO hit the ball squarely in the
center Of his racket. II one has judg.
ed the ball correctly and IL in posi-
ton for a proper stroke then he can
hit the ball hard. How often you see
players not In position to return a
ball try to hit II hard to make an ace.
When a player decides to kill" the
ball his mind should first be made up
on the place he is going to place the
ball and not shift it. He should be
very careful and not hurry when hit.

An easy ball well placed will score
many q point or game II used at the
right moment. These remarks on hit
ting ball hard refer to all strokes
in tennis. In yolleying how often you
see players try to kill impossible
shots. Two out Of three players try to
kin lob returns It Is much better to
hit the ball with good depth and good
placement. In case adversary should
return the ball II does not follow that
you should kill the next. You have
him on the run, SO take advantage OF
Il and place your next return.
Starting In to Play.
Most players start hitting the ball
hard too soon in the game. Hit the
bali easily for time, and when sure
Of having the ball under control be-
gin to hit It hard. One should gradu-
ally work up to his speed and hitting
power. Some reply that II starting In
by serving easily his adversary would
kill the ball and have the jump on
him. Remember your opponent start
ed play the same time you did. He
Is not warmed uD enough to start kill
ing the ball. II he starts killing"
too soon II IL your advantage. The
person that starts killing the ball ear
ly puts more balls in the net and out
of court This fault Is common more
with beginners and average tennis
players. A first-class player tries all
HIS strokes before he feels that he Is
ready to play. When he Is warmed
up and has control over his ball he
begins to hit harder.
To have your strokes In working or

them. Many have of days. doe to

cific coast athletics, has just sent .
tennis team on east, which, in two
successive days. defeated the Yale
tennis taem and followed It up By de-
feating the Harvard tennis team.
And though the season of tennis
championships Is not yet under full
sway, enough has been seen OF the
playing Of Lindley Murray, the latest
youth to come out of the west, to
mark him as being one Of the most
promising players in the country. It
Is even being predicted that, though
quite young, and comparatively mex
perienced, he will be called upon to
aid in the defense OF the Davis cup.
Should he be named q member Of
cur team the contest will look much
like California vs.. All-Comers.. for It
is almost certain that McLoughlin and
Bundy will play In the doubles while
our hope in the singles matches will
depend upon Mclaughlin, r. Norris
Williams Of Philadelphia and perhaps
young Murray.

bow comes In contact with your body
1t stops the stroke. II puts the play

makes one lean to one side to hit the
ball. This prevents him from making
clean shot and a steady one. One
cannot finish out on his stroke when
the arm and elbow are so close TO
the body that II stops the stroke from
going any further. A player can lift
the ball, but he Is prevented from

good drop one must start well back
with his swing and finish all the way
out, the body going forward with the

Too Stiff With Swing.
Many are too stiff In their body

the backward foot to the forward one
with the shot. BY having your body
work with your arm one Is bound 70
finish out better.
Many players make a mistake OF
turning their wrist over when hitting
the ball instead OF having II 90 for

your wrist turn over your racket h
facing downward. That sends the ball
into the net. Quite few players I'm

This fault OF turning your wrist
over too much Is made mostly on your
back-hand shots. When the ball

your wrist seems to turn over at

THE victory of the Yale crew over
Harvard and the wonderful show
ing of the Pennsylvania eight. which
finished a good second to Columbia
and beat ort Cornell at Poughkeepsie
have revived discussion as tosthe re
spective merits of the English and
American rowing systems.
The Yale and PeRnsylyania eight
were to a certain extent the product
of. English methods. Guy Nickalls, at
Yale, and Vivian. Nickals, at Pennsyl
Eania. are Englishmen and brothers,
Both learned their rowing at Oxford
University, from which they gradual

did he probably said it again when he

keepsfe. was the surprise. of the re-
gatta. If the success Of these two
crews in the regattas mentioned was
due to the English system, then the
ideas Of John Bull scored heavily in
American rowing this year.
But the general pubic undoubtedly
has very much. confused idea as to
the difference in the so-ealled Eng.
lish and American methods. That diff
ference isn't nearly so great as inag-
ined. There Ia q slight variance In
the rigging of the shells; the English
men use the thole pin for the oars
instead of the American swivel, and
there is slight difference in the
stroke. But the fact is that the Nick
alls brothers did not transplant the
entire English system.
Vivian Nickals has been in this
country Tor a number of years. Pre-
vious to coaching the Pennsylvania
oarsmen he was coach for the Detroit
Boat Club. When he first took up his
work at Detroit, Nickalls taught the
English system. which was the only
one he knew. In the meantime he be-
gan to study the American methods.
He isn't bigoted man, and was quick
to see what was good In the methods
taught by Americans and adopted all
he could. Although Vivian Nickalls

Threatening to stagnate In several

placed clubs because the National and
American league teams, before the
season opened, were thought to be so
weak that they could not draw.
81. Louis Teams Improve.
st. Louis Is the most notable exam
pie Of this. Miner Brown started on
with big hurrah there, since it was
figured that both the Browns and the
Cardinals were forlorn hopes. that the
fans were Disguised and that It would
be easy to take the patronage away
from organized baseball. But the st.
Louis teams have braced through luck,
the gathering Of some good recruits,

Higgins. The St Louis Cardinals
looked like one Of the best clubs in
the league when they were in New
York.
From the outlook at present the
race Is liable to be close right down to
the stretch. The greatest struggle In
the history of the game was that OF
1908, when the Giants and the Cubs
had to play an extra game to decide
a tie on the season, while the Pirates
had chance to cinch the pennant on

got plenty of power into their strokes.
This was the result Of the compro-
mise stroke taught them by the Nick

neither Of the Nickalls brothers at
tributed the success Of his crew pri-
