LAWN TENNIS PLAYERS
SHOULD START EASY
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, I'd

MOT long ago we all went to see Char
IN lie Chaplin in His Night Out" But
believe me, Charlie was not half as funny
in that as most of us are ON our first
day out" on the tennis court each sea-
son. The reason Is, Charlie is conscious
ly funny; we are usually uncopsciously
and absolutely idiotic when trying to hit
a tennis ball at the beginning of the sea-
SON.
Why? Because we start out to play
July tennis in April. II can't be done.
Let us grade our game to the time of
year
Most men go out the first day and play
about six sets of singles in about three
hours, trying all their strokes and speed
The next day they wonder why they are
stiff The next week they wonder why
they are not playing better tennis. The
answer is the same for each case. Err
ror to the gentleman on his first day out
Nothing Is worse for man than to over
work the beginning of the season and go
stale just about the time the big tourna-
ments start.
For the first week of the season a man
should not play more than two sets day
II he is playing every day. Three sets
every second day is far better.
But il is not so much the amount, as
the style of game you play that affects
you in the early season For the first
day on the courts you should merely
rally" and play "pat-ball' until your
muscles get llmbered up. There is a great
temptation to try hard hitting at once,
but more pulled muscles and strained
arms-"tennis elbows as they are termed
are acquired from hitting too hard in
the early season, than in any other way.
The best program for the early sea
son is:
First. Rally about Is minutes, paying
close attention to your footwork and
strokes.
Second. Play about two sets of easy

A Shot That Went to Waste

Ted Ray electrified the big gallery at
Baltusrol when he played neatly from the
water hazard at the 10th hole, getting his
three; but there was another water shot
at Baltusrol that went to waste.
In the Leslie Cup foursome Gilman Tiff
fany was paired with Jerry Travers. At the
10th hole Travers topped into the water
The battle with the opposing pair was
close. so Tiffany decided to make des-
perate effort to retrieve his partners mis-
take. Arrayed, among other things in
white flannel trousers, white socks and
white shoes. Tiffany waded in and made
a fine recovery, just short of the green.
But In making this stroke he also gath
cred to himself one of the finest mud baths
of the season. Not only were the trousers.
shoes and socks total loss, but even his
face was plastered.
When his partner finally emerged. cholt-
ing and gasping, Trav9rs was laughing SO
hard that he promptly heeled his approach
and sent the ball spinning off into deep
bunker. There was a bale ,of humor in 1t
for every one except Tiffany, who can
hardly be blamed for not indulging in any
unseemly merrment
If some one could invent club that
would successfully lift the ball from its
watery resting place he would be hailed
as the greatest hero of the age. 1t would
be interesting to know in the course of a
season just how many golf balls are lost
in this fashion, for nothing strikes as
much terror in the heart of the duffer as
a body of water to be carried with iron
or with wood. A pond 80 yards across
begins to swell before his fluttering vision
until it Is soon formidable rival of tho
Pacific Ocean. He makes up his mind he
is going into the pond-and he generally
does mind as usual controlling matter.

Ty Cobb,s Master Stroke

Last summer on the same course we
saw Ty Cobb make an even more remark
able shot--more remarkable because 1t
was a far harder chance and because Ty-
rus Is by no means master golfer. AT
abe second hole Cobb topped his tee shot
into brook to the left of the fair way, a
brook replete with running water and
Jagged looking rocks.
Ty found his ball not only under the
running water, but between two small
rocks. The star ball player had no idea
of trying the shot until some one told him
the shot was unplayable and had to be
lifted. Cobb has long since evolved the
idea that nothing in sport is impossible or
unplayable. The suggestion was enough
to make him try All persuasion was use
less, but the affair took on comic turn
when Ty instead of using a niblick,
reached for his brassie. Just what hap
pened and how it happened is still mys-
terry But taking his southpaw swing
from a stance at least 20 inches above the
ball, there followed noisy splash, scat
tering Of rock, and the ball not only came
out, but travelled 175 yards down the
course It was an accident, of course-an
accident plus Cobb's unfaltering determi-
nation to regard nothing as unplayable

A few days ago a goIfing group was
discussing the hardest shot in the game
whether II was a high pitch TO a fast
green, a brassie shot from a close lie,
full iron into cross wind-or what.
There is no need for any debate on this
subject for the answer Is as simple as
2 plus g. The hardest shot in golf is a
shot from the water, where the ball is
totally or partially under the surface.
Few golfers are willing to tempt this
destiny, preferring to take their water
on the side. Once they hear the fatal
splash the mind is already made UP to lift
and lose a stroke. Yet there are braver
souls who are willing to take the risk.

Willie Anderson's PLAY

These water shots are remembered
above all others. Those who saw the
match some years ago between Willie
Anderson and Walter ]. Travis at Engle-
derson played. Coming to the fourth hole,
Willie, then open champion, was two down
and packing on peevishness at every
stroke. The fourth hole at Englewood
borders on narrow stream that starts
so yards from the green. Anderson put
his second shot into the brook, while Wal
ter ]. was at the green's edge. The
professionals ball was floating on the top
of the water, but wading In up above his
knees, he splashed the ball upon the green
within four feet of the cup, thereby re-
gaining his waning confidence.

which shows what may sometimes happen,
for we doubt very much that Harry Var
don. using a brassie from that same lie

times out of five attempts.

promptly topped his next one into an
other water filled pit, but on this occa-

They almost outargued me the other day,
but I still believe I'm right. Am II"
Here is the main test. Take the lead
ing hitters of the game. How good did
they look through that first season before
good coaching got in its deadly work?
A review OF these statistics proves pretty
accurately the great batters are instinc-
lively so. Hans Wagner began his major
league career batting .344, Evidently
Honus was in no great need of batting in
struction. Lajoie's first complete season
yielded a mark of 1858. The Frenchman
apparently needed but little schooling in
the College of Swat Ty Cobb started
with 32O Joe Jackson with 1897, Eddie
Collins-hs first complete year-with 346
and iris Speaker with 800. Frank Baker
began with mark of .305 and Sam Craw-
ford with .30S.
There is one notable exception Jake
Daubert opened with an average OF .264
his first season, and Jake has never been
below 800 since. But in the main those
now looked upon as the star batsmen of
the game all started out as 800 hitters
their first season under the Big Top. They
had the eye, the swing and the instinct
that was beyond all instruction They
needed no coaching. About all they need
ed was one in reach. Experience brought
on development. especially in Cobbs case,
but for the greater part the greatest hit
ters were soaking the ball about as Justify
their first season out as they are today
They merely know how TO hit a baseball
and the rest OF it doesn't figure very
