Although the element Of luck does not
enter into lawn tennis as mueh As =
does in golf and baseball, nevertheiess'
n is a prominent factor. Most OF the
luck, however Is confined to the draw.
For instance, take the case OF NORMAN
w. swayne, a tennis player OF parts VINO
belongs 10 that hustllng Norristown OF
qanfzation-the Plymouth Country OluD'
When swayne came to philadelphia to
take part in the Pennsylvania state enari-
pionships at the Merton Cricket CLUB, ms
remarks. after giving the draw fieeS-
ing glance. were very appropriate. not TO
say highly emphatic. Opposite his name
was that OF J. J. Armstrong, who later
won the tournament. Aside from that and
holding several other 1ennls titles, ARM
strong hadn't done thing on the courts
Naturally swayne may have been
greatly pleased at the stroke Of fortune
which sent the two together In the hrst
round of the tournament Swayne con-
sIders that his luck had more reverse
English on II that one OF Wallace john
sons celebrated chop strokes. And he
wasn't far wrong at that.
In two other tournaments Swayne had
favorable draws and prohted thereby. He
gave r. II. PeU, New York, severe druD-
bing in the Delaware State tournament
held at Wilmington, while at his own club
in the Schuylkill Valley meet he reached
the final round, largely through his good
fortune in the draw.
Another bit OF luck in tennis is the toss
for service. Evenly matched players al
most invariably win on their services,
hence the player who wins the service Is
continually taking the odd game. This
means that after four-all. the server will
go on, winning his service to within one
game of the set, at four-1ve. Needless to
say, the moral effect of being within one
game of the set is great. 1t is as encour-
aging to the fortunate player as 1t is
dlsconcerting to his opponent; hence 1t
often happens that the toss will really
decide tennis match when both the
players are about equal in ability and arc
playing up to form.
In that memorable first set between Nc
Luughlln and Brookes in the opening
match for the Davis Cup last summer.
the Australian was within a game of the
set from sd until 1914 was called. Then |
broke through and won the
set in which there had been more than
200 points played.
In the 10th game Brookes led at 81 and |
set points. McLoughlin at |
this point made n weak return and |
Brookes appeared to have the set within |

that strange assortment of facial idio-

close range and recovered from the
shock carried away with him the recol-
lection of one predominating feature

tives and Friends.

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Daniels, who
have been living at Bredenbury, Sask.
Canada, for the past year, arrived in
Denison Thursday for few weeks
visit with friends and relatives. Mr.
Daniels says that the past winter has
not been a severe one at Bredenbury
and he doubts whether they had as
much snow as there has been in Craw-
ford county. He has. been very busy
the past season with concrete work,
receiving many contracts for curb and
sidewalk work, THE war is not af,
fecting Canada a great deal" said Mr..
Daniels to "a Review representative.
They are not drafting men into the
army and only ten or twelve men from
a town the size OF Denison are enlist
ing. In some of the larger cities they
are drilling the recruits gathered up
from the adjacent territory and after
a few weeks they are taken to Eng
land to enter Kitchener's great army"
Mr.. Daniels informs us that his son,
Alva, is gaining quite a reputation as
a "curley" player, a game which is
played on the ice. A team of which
Alya is captain won a series OF games
and was awarded silver loving cup.
