10 l-PTTROFF DEFENCE
GROWTH OF LAWN TENNIS
Reflected by Size Of Spalding
Annual, Just Out.

An accurate reflection of the growth
of the game of lawn tennis IN the
United States is afforded by the 1915
issue of Spalding's American Lawn
Tennis Annual, which has just come of
the presses.
There e more than three hundred
pages crammed full of information,
embracing all records and reviews,
from the first tournament of the season
of 1914 down 20 the indoor champion
ships this winter
Some of the most entertaining ar
ticles are by r. VI. Kidston, of Sydney,
Australia, who, under tn, pen name Of
"Austral," has achieved an interna-
tional reputation as an authority on
the game. Mr.. Kidston has written a
comprehensive review OF the Davis Cup
matches of last August, covering every
incident of those historic struggles on
the courts Of the West Side Tennis
Club, at Forest Hills, Long Island.
Several important improvements have
been introduced, including the featur-
ing of the fist ten men in the ranking
lis;, with their photographs and their
tournament records for the year; a
table giving a list of the principal win
ners at a glance and a gr. fly enlarged
section devoted TO the college players.
f. B. Alexander, Carl Gardner, Gordon
f. Small, H. p. Burcheli, the editor,
and others are among the contributors.
The annual is published by the
American Sports Publishing Company,
q Warren Street, and will be sent to
any address on receip' of 25 cents.
