First and second base are occupied
with one out. The batter, in lodging the

a little fly to drop just out Of reach Of

Even the Racquet Must Be
Held Correctly to Insure
Good Results.
BALL SHOULD NOT BE
THROWN UP CARELESSLY
Also Players Ought Not to Fear Los
ing a Point Through Double
Faulting.
BY JAMES BURNS.

IN making a backhand stroke use the
opposite side Of the racquet from that
used in forehand shots This avoids the
need of turning the wrist over, which
lcses time. Some players Use the same
pesite side OF the racquet the less change
a player makes on his grip and it can
be made quicker.
Running the thumb up the handle of
the racquet for backhand shots enables
one to guide the strokes better. but in
that grip there Is a slight loss of
power. I find that by leaving the
thumb around the grip I get more pow
er in the stroke. But one should get
used to all the different grips. In grip
ping a racquet players should spread
their fingers apart slightly. By spread
ing the fingers the control of the
racquet is better, and it gives free
wrist play.
To make proper stroke the player
ball too near his body. and also to take
it just opposite him, not too far In
front and not too far behind.
For those who can time ball accu-
is top" (see top strokes in chapter
u. Let the racquet follow through as
far out as the arm can stretch toward
the point where tho ball is placed.
Otherwise the racquet has tendency
to go up. to come in or across, which
sends the ball out Of court See that
your body does not turn in making the
stroke This will send the ball In
court. In extending the arm on the
follow through do not let the racquet
come across the line on which you want
the ball to go.
Start well back for your stroke. In
case the player misjudges the ball a
short back stroke prevents the forward
stroke from being uniform.
Players will find 1t good plan in
meeting the ball to step forward and
meet the ball just as it is opposite the
body. By doing so one meets the ball
higher in its fight, the return is quick
er and has more chance of keeping the
ball in court. If, however. player
must meet the ball when it is well back
the weight should be on the foot be-
hind, and one should lean back with
his body. Leaning back helps the play
er to avoid having the ball too far

Do Not Check Stroke.

After hitting the bah do not check the
stroke but let the arm we'll out after
the ball. Following through gives the
drop on the ball. All through the
stroke. both before and after you meet
the ball. the player should maintain the
same steady swing without check or jerk.
Let the wrist go forward after meeting
the ball instead Of down or over The
above refers to forehand strokes.
In backhand work players are prone
to let the ball go far behind before hit
ting 1t. This is the cause of weak re-
turns on backhand strokes. 1t is i'm
portant to have a good backhand method
as all players put the ball to you, on
that side at times. Always face side
good backhand players should meet the
ball the same as forehand strokes; that

It was dangerous for Black to castle on the
queens side on the ninth turn. The king stands
much safer at the other wing of the board. where
White can become aggressive by advancing the
kip which maneuver would be very risky for
White. As soon as Black had castled White be-
gan spendidly conceived attack. Black lost
all chances by allowing his adversary's pawn
to occupy his QKt4 square He ought to have
captured that pawn under all circumstances and

THE TEACHERS TRADE

All forceful men are creators. The
business man caeates one kind of values,
the artist another; but the best kind of
all are those values created by the
teachers; they consist in character,
training, thought power. soul strength.
To clear up the ideas of others, to
awaken high enthusiasms in them, to
equip their minds against false reason-
ing and clap-trap, and to render them
vigorous and akillful, in the very best
business known.
IF you like that sort of thing, ifsit
makes you lcontent, if you realize the
wonder Of nobleness of it, then teach.
But if you measure success by salary,
and if you are continually lustirg for
the flesh pots Of money grubbers, then
keep out of the teachers trade.
There is large portion of the world
to whom success means only money.
They suppose that only those persons
engage in professional life who are in
competent to sell goods or win on the
board of trade.
