BULGARIA IS SEEN TO

Greek Assurances Of Assistance
to Serbia Taken as Indica-

BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Greek assur-
ances, made known today. of assistance
promised to Serbia II Bulgaria tries TO
seize Serbian Macedonia are the nrst
serious Indications that the Bulgarian
government may actively throw It's
weight into the Germanic balance. Bull
garia has long been known to be In the
market for the highest bidder. but the
alternatives have been thought to be
war with the allies or benefit neutrality
toward Germany, Austria and Turkey.
If the Germanic victories in Russia
have caused Bulgaria to believe the
German powers can win the war with
Bulgarian help. tho sudden Greek pledge
OF fidelity to Serbia would not prob
ably be sufficient to compel the Sofia
government to keep the peace. The
military revelations Of the recent Bal

little difficulty in conquering Greece.

While making war against Greece,
Bulgaria could spare considerable
force to aseist the Turks on the CALI

of the Constantinople campaign might

success with Bulgaria's aid. 1t seems.
therefore, as II the allies must quickly
give more definite assurances to Bull

No Camera Bearer on Frederik

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Besides remin-

American steamship Frederik VIII. had
an assortment of iceberg tales. The pas
sengers averred, at least some Of them
did. that they saw dozens and dozens

around the unsubmerged base Of one
particularly tall pinnacled berg they
noted large polar bears playing follow
the leader.
Apparently the bears. some of which
were not altogether white, and thus
might have been Just semi-polar. had
the impression that they were on their
wap to somewhere instead Of Just play
Ing ring around the iceberg rosy.
Being a neutral ship. unarmed, the
Frederik VIII could not do any bear
shooting. Some camera bearers took
snapshots, but no camera bearer caught
bear. Maybe that is why the camera
men suspected that the passengers who
told the bear stories did not confine
themselves to the bare facts.

/ do not believe in the fancy strokes
which put queer twists on the ball that
make it bound in all sorts Of directions.
These are of use but usually they become a
mania with the player and the elementary
strokes are forgotten in the desire to make
the ball do tricks.
/ use only the simple strokes and depend
solely on placement and speed to gain
points. In the long run think my game is
the best game for all girls. Therefore I
will give my way Of playing tennis.
The selection OF suitable racquet and
the proper holding OF the racquet are the
primary matters in which girl often makes
mistakes that ruin her chances OF playing
even a fair game.
Select a well-balanced racquet OF about
thirteen ounces with a handle Of size that
just permits the hand to comfortably close
about It, The size of the grip is important,
and II one cannot be found OF the correct
and proper diameter, then select a larger
size and have 1t shaved down. use a 13h-
ounce racquet heavy in the head, but my
right forearm Is stronger than that of the
average girl; too heavy a racquet quickly
tires the player.
use two grips; the one for service and
all forehand strokes, and the second for
backhand strokes. In both grips the rae
quet handle is grasped at the very end with
the butt resting against the base OF the
palm. In the forehand grip the fist is SIM
ply closed about the handle with the thumb
the racquet is always held except for the
backhand strokes. For the backhand play,
the thumb is shifted so that It is parallel
with and pressing against the wood in or
der to prevent the racquet from turning.
The racquet should be grasped firmly at
the beginning Of every stroke, but between
strokes the grip had best be relaxed or the
hand and forearm will become cramped.
The service of the ball is important, but
II is governed by the general rules OF play
which ] have above noted. Many players
base their all on their service and spend
many hours trying to evolve a delivery
which viii make the service ball unreturn.

/, on the contrary, consider the service
only as the opening stroke of the game, and
! think II q mistake to waste great energy
In attempting to deliver an unreturnable
service. A girl can never develop a service
which is too swift for a good player to han

effort; and then a great number OF points

stroke must generally be downward or the
racquet slightly inclined at time of impact
to give a top spin. Volley strokes become
more and more difficult and uncertain the
farther one is from the net, but If you are
close to the net the main trouble is not SO
much with the stroke but in reaching the
ball at all. l save these strokes for the easy
returns made by my opponent when she is
out Of position. / do not play a volley game.
Keep your eye on the ball and you will
not often be caught unawares. Follow the
ball every moment; If your eye is keen, you
will be able to Judge the part of the court
In your court in which 1t is going to land
the moment 1t leaves the racquet. Be at
that place ready to receive and return it.
Experience will teach you where ball is
going. Sometimes you will be fooled, but
not often.
If you play mostly from a position a. the
back or the court, you will use ground
strokes" that is, strokes taken after the
ball has bounced on the ground as distin-
guished from the ''volley" strokes which are
made on the ball before 1t reaches the
ground.
Your usual ground strokes will be the
forehand drive" and the "backhand drive:
These are the dependable strokes and their
proper execution is more important than all
the other strokes of the game. including
service, combined.
The significant points of these drives are:

(5) Follow through.
/ have said that the best time to lift thg
ball is when It is rising from the bounce;
the average player waits until the ball be-
gins to descend, but 1t Is self-evident that
valuable time will be gained by hitting the
rising ball. II is more difficult play but
the secret of fast play.
The backhand drive is made in exactly
the same manner as the forehand drive, ex-
cepting that the weight is poised on the
left instead Of on the right foot and the grip
upon the racquet changes
Every player likes 10 rattle her opponent
by any fair means and thus win the wit
battle. 1t certainly is trying upon the tenn
per to have an opponent continually fooling
you In strokes or lobbing the ball over your
head. II you happen to run to the net; ball
hit to ones feet is also most disconcerting.
But never lose your temper The moment
you become angry you lose your judgment
rnd the other side will win.
My three cardinal points Of tennis are:
