NINTH CHAPTER.
BY JAMES BURNS.

Grip your racket firmly, so that 1t
will not turn when the ball comes in
contact with it. There are various
grips. Different players have different
kinds of hands; what suits one may not
suit another. Use a grip which gives
confidence. but. of course, it must not be
one that Is going to be awkward to
change for different kinds of shots. The
less change one makes in his grip the
better. Adopt a style of grip that will
enable you to use the opposite side OF
the racquet for a forehand as we'll as
for a backhand shot without having
too much shift in the grip. Many play
ers turn the face of a racquet COM
pletely around when taking backhand
shots By doing SO they hit the ball
on the same side Of the racquet as on
a forehand stroke. One loses time in
making the turnover by doing SO.
In changing from forehsnd to back
hand, to hit the ball on the opposite
side of your racquet, one turns his
hand toward his body, 1t falls into
position for the backhand stroke and
the ball will be met on the opposite
side of the racquet.
Some players run the thumb up the
ndnQle 1OT DdChHdnu SlotS VI NoA1Sy
This serves to guide the stroke. One
gets more power, however. in a back
hand by leaving the thumb around the
handle the same as in the forehand.
This also applies in volleytng.
On the volley. keep the head Of the
racquet little higher than the waist.
Your grip changes very slightly for
yolleying.
In driving let your wrist down, as
you have less weight on your wrist in
holding the racquet.
On high bounding ball, to hit 1t
with top" one cannot drop his wrist.
While waiting for returns have your
left hand support the upper part Of
your racquet on the handle. This re-
lieves your playing arm and in vol
leying 1t helps you to mako a quick
volley.
In smashing, your grip is about the
same as in serving. One uses the
wrist more in smashing, to get power
in the stroke and to get top" on the
ball
In gripping a racquet players should
spread their fingers. By spreading the
fingers the control of the racquet is
more uniform and the balance more dis

Get variety by playing a set for a
change. Then practice a little more
where you discovered weaknesses.
One can practice serving by himself.
To get second serve In as hard as
your first one needs practice, determi-
nation and confidence. Take a dozen
balls and serve each one as hard as the
other. Then cross over and serve back.
The same may be done on ground
strokes by dropping the ball and TAX
ing it on the bounce.
Foot Movements.
Foot positions are Of great import
ance. They are easily understood by
some players, due to experience at diff
ferent athletic games. such BIS base
ball, foot ball or gymnastics. You Will
find that these players are always on
the ball of their feet.
The feet should be placed properly
before taking your stroke. If the play
er is In position the stroke Is not SO
hard Many a point is lost owing to
faulty foot position. The most fire.
quent mistakes of players are these, as
to position:
2. Being caught on the fiat of his feet
instead of ION his toes"
g. The weight being on the wrong
foot.
4. Inc player O6lH& Out oI pOSitlOu.
5. The player executing his stroke of
the wrong foot.
Players should be on the alert before
and after the stroke. Correct foot
movement enables the player to shift
into other correct positions easily and
quickly. The balance should be pre-
served at all times. After the player
returns the ball his position should be
thought of. while watching the ball.
In starting forehand strokes the right
foot should be back Of the left The
weight Is on the right foot at the time a
player begins his stroke. It passes to
the left when meeting the ball. The re-
verse position and weight on the legs
holds good on a backhand shot. The
player that does this Is on the ball of
his feet for the next return.
In volleying stand on your toes. to be
ready for a return in either direction.
There is no excuse for being caught on
the fiat of your feet.
Many players find themselves of bal
ance through taking a backhand stroke.
1t comes from allowing the ball to get too
far back before hitting It.
Before smashing ball the position Of
your feet should be thought of. The
right foot should be back. The weight
is on the right foot while waiting for
the ball. and until the ball is over you.
On the smash the weight transfers to the
left foot just at the time the player hits
the ball.

tributed to each finger Of the hand, and
it also gives free wrist play.
Iobbinp Is Not EASY.

Lobbing may look easy. but it is not.
Very few first-class players have it
down to science. To play a good
game of tennis 1t is essential to learn
to lob well. But there are different
use of the lob. Lob high and deep to
get yourself in position when you are
out Of court. When the adversary Is
at the net a little short lob just over
his head is very effective but be sure
it would be an easy kill" for him If he
gets his racquet well on the ball. In
fact he could smash it like a service
shot. He cannot get under short lob.
as 1t Is not high enough. In case he
him.
OF the two lobs, however. the high
lob is more often useful. It gives one
time to recover position in court.
The lob Is great relief when under
difficulties, such as being out of court
or too near the ball to have swing at
it. or when you have no chance to pass
your opponent and wish to get him
back.
In lobbing players should direct the
stroke upward. To keep the ball in
court 1t is necessary to finish up on
your stroke and not out"
To improve in tennis players should
practice their. strokes: Learn your
you have control over the ball it is
time enough to begin. to play games.
An old sying, "once learned never for
gotten" By practice one is drilled in
choosing properly his position in court
for different shots. He gets ball after
ball which he might not receive in
play. a player pays more attention to
his stroke and less to points and has a
chance of correcting faults. When
playing he is after points. and 30 thinks
less about his weak strokes.
Have some one play to your weak
ness. In learning to volley stand at
the net and have some one drive balls
to you. Do the same to him until you
find 1t monotonous. When tired of
practicing smashing have your practice
partner lob to you. He then can get
practice in lobbing after a while. Re-
verse and lob to him.
Practice your ground strokes for half
an hour day. The trouble is players
have not the patience for this. but 1t is
the best and quickest way to improve
ones game. For instance, in playing
net you are lucky II you have one or
two volleys to return. In practice one
has ball after ball. A player is bound
to improve with that practice. But do
not practice until you are tired out.
