Service, in tennis, Is what
pitching is to baseball. and fol-
lowing the idea, the return Is to
tennis what batting ia to baseball.
On this smile there really lie
less batting" in tennis than
there is in baseball, and. the art
of returning service strokes is
more difficult and requires more
skill and practice than is required
to hit q baseball pitched even by
the speediest and most willy of
the star twirlers. Tennis has both
it's Walter Johnsons at service
and its Ty Cobbs at batting.
The return of service naturally
becomes the vital point OF tennis.
The position in waiting for service
should be adapted to the peculiar
style of service Of the opponent;
provided one knows that style.
Stand as nearly diagonally oppo-
site the server as possible, with
racquet held across the body
backhand.
Stand ON the toes, In position
of the sprinter with knees flexed
and body ready to spring In eth
er direction.
Strive always to return the ball
with the forehand stroke which
Is the natural and probably the
most important stroke in tennis.
In using the forehand stroke,
either underhand or sidearm, al
ways keep the wrist flexed and
strike the ball with the same mo-
ton you would use In cracking a
whip. II adds the natural follow
through drive to the return.
A few of the more gifted play
