ENGLISH PHOTO BAN
is PUZZLING NETMEN
BY ROSEMARY HAZE.

American tennis enthusiasts con-
stituting the galleries here at the
big eastern tournaments are frankly
puzzled over the action of the Eng
lish Lawn Tennis Association in
barring photographers from English
courts while matches between women
are in progress.
The splendid, graceful action of the
English women now playing in this
country has not only the rhythm of
poetry but lacks any suggestion that
might be out of the ordinary. Their
court costumes. to be sure, differ
from those of American woman play
ers, but not TO the degree that an
action photograph would be offensive
to good taste.
one-piece dress that extends just be
low the knee cap, a type introduced
by that gymnaStic celebrity of the
courts. Mile. Suzanne LHnglen. About
this dress of white material, at what
might be the waistline. is a narrow
belt of the same material, which
alone saves the reEalta from the
stigma of abbreviated mother-hub
bardism- White shoes and stockings
are worn, and the stockings are not
rolled down.
The English costume permits agil-
ity-and the English woman tennis
player is surely agile. The fullness
of the skirt enables her to take
longer steps than the American wom-
an player
Perhaps one of the most modern
features of the English costume is the
peculiar clinging qualities of the fab
ric. The garment seems to mould it
self into the action of the body, the
cloth follows the movements of the
knee, no matter how erratic, and the
skirt never flares
Whatever II was that caused the
English Lawn Tennis Association to
issue its decree will remain a dark
secret so far American tennis en-
thusiasts are concerned

good for the game itself as are the
efforts of the intelligent, high class
professional who devotes his time to
teaching his club members and keep

The men who give exhibitions and

two events a year. They get more
time and more competition against
high players. and the man who
plays only once or twice a week in

hope to compete with these primal

A good balance at the top of the
backswing, SO essential in all shots,
is especially necessary when playing
the ball from a hanging lie The
player should stand little behind
the ball, use a fairly open stance
and slight upright swing. Do not
hurry the shot or do anything else
which will tend to destroy balance,
as this will interfere with the ac-
curacy and distance of the ball when
hit. Take turf just before hitting
the ball. An iron or cleek is the
proper club to use in making this
