No. 9-The Kinds of Service.

BY hitting the ball a glancing blow,
spins and twists are impaired which
rsult in curves and breaks. These
curves and unexpected directions in
the bounce are most disconcerting when
which produces such results is against
speed and. If the service Is very slow.
the striker has but to await the end of
the gyrations. The complex service
must be fast to be effective; great
speed requires great strength.
I use only the straight. hard service
and I do not recommend taking the time
to master the more difficult styles. The
ability to mix up several varieties and
keep the opponent uncomfortably
guessing is valuable and the best man
players have this ability. but know
no woman with the needed strength
and endurance.
In the ordinary straight service a
tain courts by getting high over the
ball and hitting down. but this is not
q special service.
The ordinary complex services are the
reverse twist" and what Is known
abroad as the American service"
On the reverse twist the ball spins
away to tho left, and curves in to the
right, continuing the curve as the ball
hits the ground. The server practically
draws his racquet across the ball from
left to right: the ball is not thrown
high and there is no downward hit to
the racquet; the arm Is bent and the
racquet is more or less perpendicular
at the moment of impact. 1t is almost
impossible to put much pace into the
ball and the delivery Is very firing.
In the American service" the ball
curves out to the right of the server
and in to his left. but breaks again to
the right when 1t strikes the ground.
The reverse American" service curls
left. then right and breaks left. The
curls and breaks run the striker out
side the court in the attempt to make
the return.
This service requires much practice
to perform at all and an almost in
finite amount of work to acquire con-
troll and speed. The ball is thrown well
up to the left of the head and the rae
quet is brought across from the left
hand under side of the ball to the right
hand upper side. The reverse" goes
in the opposite direction.
I do not go more fully into these
services. because they are practically
impossible to attain without the best
Of instruction.

The fnal game Of the schedule in the
Catholic Church League is to be played
today. Holy Name and St Margaret's
will clash, and the result of the COM
bat may give the former the champion
ship. That club has won the title for
the first series and will gain the honor
for the second half of the season II 1t
finishes in front this afternoon. The
best that st. Margaret's can do is to
get a tie, and in that case will be COM
pelled to meet Holy Name in another
game to 'etermine the winner.
Holy Name made certain of its right
to the title in the first half Of the
schedule by winning from st. Peters.

was not certain of a victory at any
time, and had its hands full from the
very start of the contest. ST. Peters
put up a hne article of ball. and the
game was an excellent exhibition. one
yell worthy of a championship affair.
The pitchers of both clubs were ef-
fectiye, and the men behind them
seemed to be on their mettle.
Greer did the hurling for st. Peters and
gave the Holy Name club all 1t was look
ing for That Holy Name was unable to

runs is indicative of his effectiveness.

Peters and Holy Name, were the best de-

him, but in the main their handling OF
plays was a way above the ordinary.
Holy Name scored first. getting man
over the plate in the sixth. In the sew

the eighth the winner got the only other
count Of the contest. Salb retired three
