GETS FINE RECEPTION.
"Gurboat" Smith Makes No Mistake
in Going to England.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The remarka-
BILE reception given Gunboat Smith upon
his arrival in England for his bout with
Carpenter indicates that the Gunner made
no mistake in going abroad Smith is
likely to score a tremendous hit in Lon
don.
Owing to the prejudice against all white
hopes, Smith has not been accorded much
honor in his own country. But in Eng
land conditions are very different. Eng
lish critics are not SO exacting. II Smith
defeats Carpenter he will be given due
credit for having accomplished some
thing worth while. It will not be said
that he won merely because his opponent
was q dub.

THE PITCHER.

Just an unknown pitcher,
Called to take the boz,
Facing smuggling batters,
Ready for his knocks.
Just a bush league player,
Called from anywhere,
All the crowd are guying
As they see him there.
Just q common mortal.
Feels like you or me,
Heart Is humping badly,
Has a shaky knee.
For he knows his chances
For his job are slim
II those smuggling batters
Come to Hight On him.
He has q widowed mother
And a sister kid,
And they need the money
Bad-they always did.
He was driven sadly,
C1erking In the store;
Things were going badly,
Debts becoming more.
So he tried the minors,
Had q lucky day:
When q scout was looking
Got q bid that way.
Now he's up against II,
Regulars knocked out, i,
Batter's struck a swatfest,
Looks Like blooming rout.
So the boss has called him,
Stuck him In the boz;
II he fails the first time
Hes to take the knocks.
And he fully knows 1t
When he's walking out.
But now he really feels 1t,
l. 1t fame or Tout?

Height, Speed and Where Re-

Very Carefully Noted.
BACKHAND STROKES MOST
DIFFICULT To ACCOMPLISH
Lack Of Proper Position Is Some
times Responsible for This.
Other Hints.
TENTH CHAPTER.
BY JAMES BURNS.

FOR nrst-class players anticipating or
judging ball comes as second nature
But how many average tennis players
can anticipate or judge where the ball
Will drop in court on their OPP
ponents return. To anticipate a
bali the mind has got to work
with the eye. The best place to stand in
meeting ball is about three feet back
of where the ball is going to land. This
carries a little with the pace of the BALL
Not only must player, have his eye on
the ball, but he must have his mind
conferred on the stroke that he wants to
play. 1t is always advisable when judy
ing ball first to notice its height, sec,
ond its speed and third where the ball
will land in court. He thereby will
know in just what position to get to
meet the ball to make a proper return
stroke.
The time to begin to judge the ball is
Learn to watch your opponents racquet,
as by doing SO a player can tell before
hand the direction in which the ball is
going to be placed. Very few players can
change stroke once the mind has been
centered on the kind of stroke they,
wish to play. For instance. If your OPP
ponent meets the ball directly oppocite
his body, it is to be expected that his
return will be straight down the side
line, sas his swing is straight and direct.
ly out. In case his recquet meets the
ball sooner or a little more in front of
him, his return would be more for a
cross-court shot.
On overhead strokes only can the play
er conceal his direction before hitting

Judging Backhand Returns.

Why is it players let the ball get too
far back of them on their backhand
shots before returning 1t? 1t is because
one does not Judge his ball as well on
backhand as he does on his forehand.
That's what makes the backhand shots
SO difficult for many players to make
It's the player himself that makes 1t a
harder stroke by not anticipating where
the ball is going to drop SO he could
be in proper position to meet 1t. By
being in proper place to meet it one gets
power in his swing.
Start well back with your swing. just
as you do on your forehand stroke. Time
It so you hit It the right moment-that is
just as the ball is opposite the body.
Another reason backhand seems harder
to execute Is because players do not face
the ball right. On taking forehand shots
you are faced a little to the right. The
reverse is true when taking backhand
strokes.
A forehand stroke should be played of
your left foot, /. e., the left foot ia
ahead. On backhand shot one plays of
his right foot.
Remember at all times after your re-
turn to face the net squarely again.
Here Is another thing that often causes
a weak backhand. Players seem to favor
their forehand more, and by doing 30
they are facing a little to the right when
WalIln8 TO see what the opponent SnOt
is going to be. That prevents him from
getting quickly into backhand shot posi-
ton and prevents also judging the ball
right on his backhand. The ball is on
top of him before he knows 1t.
On paper 1t is hard to explain your po-
sitions. but take note when you are re-
ceiving service how awkward 1t is to
return ball on your backhand. Players
could score many an ace by serving to
your backhand while you are faced to the
right. Your position is wrong because 1t
favors your forehand at the expense of
your backhand. Your eyes are facing to
the right of the court which prevents you
from judging the ball well on your back
hand. Reverse your position in facing
and you will find your forehand stroke
will seem just as hard as your back
hand. Your eyes should at all times be
facing the ball squarely. Then one can
judge the ball on either side.
By facing sideways. however. before
you make your backhand stroke you will
