All the old-line players were horror
struck and for some time the volley

tanned no stipulation against the

vogue. The tims came when the base

The volley remained eminent for
some years, but finally it was decided
that for the good of the game some
thing should be done to limit IL ac-

was made lower. about its present
height. and with opportunities thus
presented. the -baseliner began TO
make those passing shots which are
SO frequent today.
GROUNDS were pretty rough in those
days The game was played upon
grass lawns and no great care was
taken to have the surface level on
both sides Of the court or even on
one side. Thus crazy, unexpected
oounus were quite a part of tennis.
But eventually lesson was taken
from putting in golf and in due
course tennis courts were laid out
with all the care that is bestowed
upon the greens of a golf course

parlor snakes are regarded today.
But eventually when the possibili-
ties OF this most strenuous sport were
recognized the male took il over as
his own. Two years ago Jack Demp-
