TENNIS FOR THE BEGINNERS
instruction by Florence A. BALM,
1916 Sensation Of the Courts
EDITED BY EDDIE PETERS

In the event it's a high ball,
one shoulder high, for instance,
hit 1t a sharp stroke. Push the
lower balls and you will find that
swift ball will go back of its
own force. Hold the racquet
firmly, for the slightest wavering
will ruin the stroke.
Always run into a volley. 1t Is
not a stroke which requires a
swing or follow through.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-07-28

(The fifth of a series ON tennis,
posed especially for this page by
Miss Florence A. BALM of Bryn
Maswr college, the 1915 sensa-
ton of tennis, hockey and basket
ball.
The most successful volleys
are made when the player is ten
feet from the net. 1t is one
thing to cover the width of the
court at the baseline, but a vast
ly different matter when you COW
err. the court at the net.
When you are at the baseline
you are in position to watch the
fight of the ball and step from
position to position and make the
return leisureIy, as a rule, from
the bounce. But when you play
at the net you must flash from
one one spot to another else you
will be passed for an ace.
The chief requisites for
this style of play are "a keen
eye that can follow the ball
from the instant il leaves
your opponents racquet, a
good reach and agility.
Here you must step from the
baseline to the net with all pos
sible sped, rush to and fro across
the net and at intervals speed
back to the baseline for high lobs.
The net game is not essentially
a woman's game, for ii is too en-
hausting. There are many Girls
playing in the United States who
ruin good games by trying to
volley when they should stay back
and drive.
Aim to take the ball as close to
the net as possible, strike down
and deep into the court. Ii is
much easier to smash the ball
to a given place in your rivals
court If you meet it when high
In the air and near the net. This
virtually eliminates the net IRON
consideration. Unless you make
deep volley you lose the advant-
age.

EfSAFETY FIRST"
FOR SPEEDWAY

Speed but not too many
chances.
This will be the advice handed
out by Starter Fred j. Wagner of
the Montamarathon race August
to the drivers who will race On
the Speedway. In other words.
the Speedway officials want to
break records but not bones. Ev-
cry time a driver gets his car past
the 60 miles per hour notch, he is
flirting with death, but he should
not be too coy.

eliminating a series of rumors
that have emanated daily from
the Tiger camp about the sale of
"Sketer" Bigbee, Tacoma's sensa-
tional center fielder, announce
ment was made last night that the
youngster had been sold several
days ago to Barney Dreyfus OF the
Pittsburg Pirates.
Bigbee will remain with the Ia
coma club this season, reporting
to Pittsburg at the beginning of
the 1917 training work. The
price paid for him is reported to
be anything from $500 to 3d.
900.
Bigbee was formerly an al
round star athlete at the Univer-
sity of Oregon. Playing univer-
sity ball last year he hit 1913 and
proved a demon on the bags. To-
gether with his brother, Lyle, he
was signed by Russ Hall this
spring. Bigbee had been playing
infield, but Hall moved him to
the outer garden, whore lie soon
developed into a wonder. Lyle
Bigbee, tbe brother, pitched part
CT one game and was released.
All baseball critics unite in say
ing that Bfgbee is the greatest
player in the Northwestern league
this season. He is hitting an even
$3.50 today. Some wag recently
remarked that If Russ Hall
wanted to cut down his ex-
penses he might fire his right and
left fielders, for Bigbee is vover-
ing the entire outfield anyway.

GOT MAIL THROUGH QUICKLY
Efficient System That Was In Use by
the Romans Some Hundreds
Of Years AGO.

While the Roman postal service of
ancient days was, Of course, a crude
system, yet the mails were forwarded
with considerable speed. The system
OF courters on horseback was borrowed
from the Persians, who, according to
Xenophon, had established it under
Cyrus. The Roman adaptation of this
was the best system of transmitting
letters among the ancients
All along the great Roman roads sta
tons were erected at distances of five
Or six miles from one another. At each
Of these stations 40 horses were con-
stantly maintained, and by the help of
relays 1t was easy to travel 100 miles
in day.
These services were intended for
the state only, it being imperative to
secure the rapid interchange of official
communications. In the time of julius
Caesar the system was 80 we'll organ
lied that Of two letters 40 great SOL
der wrote from Britain to Cicero at
Rome the one reached its destination
in 26 and the other in % days.
Private citizens were obliged to re-
sort to the services of slaves, and it
was not until the end Of the third cen
fury that there was an establishment
Of a postal system for private persons
by the Emperor Diocletian; but how
long this system endured history does
not inform US.
The supply of horses and their
maintenance was compulsory, and only
the emperor could grant exemption
from it.
