Even the school children are pass

which are unfair to union labor. These
theaters were patronized by three

The girls in particular favored the

be your own natural style,
There are. generally speaking. the fol-
lowing styles of tennis:
l. The net game: Your opponent forces
the net at all times, follows his service
in and relys on beating you himself, not
on your beating yourself.
To meet this game rely on
a. Taking the net yourself whenever
possible, thus making your opponent play
from a position he dislikes, the back
court. Always follow your service to
the net.
(2) Hit a sharp, chopping, slow ground
stroke for the mans feet as he comes I'm
and play generally for the side lines. Do
not try to pass clean on every shot, but
make him reach and trust to his missing
as many as he kills.
Do not rely on speed since the faster
shot is driven, the easier it is to volley.
The real reason Johnstons game was so
effective against both Williams and Nc
Loughlin is that they relied on speed in
stead of hitting slow drop shots at his
feet when he played midcOurt.
81 When pressed and out. of position,
lob and lob high and deep. 1t is better to
lob out and have your opponent chase 1t
than lob short and have him murder ii.
since il gives him confidence to hit sue
cessful overheads.
II. The back court driving game is the
second style of play.
There are many ways OF meeting this
game. First you can play him at his own
game and drive from the back court.
This is not a good plan unless il is your
natural game. Second, you may chop
and rely on his missing, owing TO the
spin on your shot. This is Wallace john
sons and 10 Armstrong; method of beat
ing this game, although Armstrong also
comes TO the net. Third, you can drop
short shots and when your opponent is
drawn out OF his favorite position either
lob or drive deep, thus catching him re-
treating. an almost fatal blundeT for any
man.
Fourth, and by far the best method, is
to take the attack in your own hands and
go to the net whenever possible and vol
ley off short. This will give no chance
TO your opponent to make his favorite
ground state and will put you in the most
advantageous position In the court. Let
all young players develop the net game
as rapidly as possible, no matter how
