PEARSON AN EXAMPLE.
Stanley Pearson, city champion in
doubles with l.. c. Wster Is also a re.
.narkable example of wonderful footwork
Pearson's game is a soft, well placed
heady game, unfortunately It is too soft
Yet he can always drive good man hard
and beats many Of them. owing to his
wonderful speed and ability to make re-
markable gets"
a point is never over with Pearson until
the ball has bounced twice, and the rea-
son he gets the shots he does Is due to
his perfect control of footwork He is
a natural exponent OF footwork on a ten

ample for anyone TO study who wishes TO
improve this department of their game
so essential to real success.

In, reading the excellent article of Mr..
Gibbons In the PUBLIC LEDGER on Sum
day, In which he mentioned Karl Fisher,
OF Cynwyd, as our coming star, l am
willing to agree that Karl looks very
good, but wish to put the following rank
ing OF boys under 16 around Philadelphia:
l. Samuel Pennock. Penn Charter.
2.'' Rodney Beck, Germantown Acad-
emy.
3. Headley Harper Episcopal Academy.
4. Karl Fisher. Cynwyd Club
D. Thomas Vischer. Germantown Acad-
emy.
Pennock and Beck are at least rs" bet
ter than Fisher, judging by their show
Ing against boys of their own age and
older. This is not at all detractlng from
Mr. Gibbons judgment, for he has never
seen either of the other two boys play.

There are two examples of as nearly

ior any young player to study their meth

OF Merton, and Stanley Pearson, of Ger

Johnson. known to all tennis players
as one OF the most dangerous men in
America, is the most striking example of
iootwork In its best form. Johnson's
game is the peculiar undercut chop
stroke OF fair but not great force, mag
nineentiy placed and his whole game one
OF eleverness and subtlety but It Is John
