BY TED DREWES,

National Public Parks Tennis Champion.)
~ REAT base ball stars often
| r have base ball bat that no
other star would have. But
it so happens that the bat they use
feels" right and that is why they
select them. The same goes with
selecting tennis rackets. The boy
should get racket that feels
right.
There is no correct way of describ-
ing the sort of racket that will be
right for you. But you know by the
feel II it is right. 1t should be fair
ly evenly balanced. For a good-sized
boy a handle 5A inches is about right
and it should weigh 1871 or IA ounces.
In selecting a racket swing several
of them and then pick out the one
that feels the best.
Your equipment has been prescribed
for you, a complete uniform and
racket, but there is one most impor-
tant item of equipment that you will
need and that is the book of rules.
Learn the rules of tennis as you
would any other sport. A player who
knows the rules well has a distinct
advantage over a player who only
picked up the rules as he went along.
Learn the rules first and understand
them. The rules that are not plain
to you will be plain after an older
player has explained them and this
any older player will be glad to do.

MEHLH0RN ONLY u S.
GOLF PRO TO SHINE

By the Associated Press.
LIVERPOOL. June 9.--"It might
have been worse" was the feeling
among the American professional
golfers who looked over the figures
of their play at F'ormby yesterday
prior to setting out on today's sec
ond round of 1s holes in the British
northern professional championship.
This was not exactly the sentiment
of Bill Mehlhorn, the American bred
pro, however, for his II yesterday
was only one stroke removed from the
topnotch 20 scored by two British
players-George Gadd of Roehampton
and w. l.. Davies of Prenton.
Neither was it echoed by Walter
Hagen, whose 50 was about his worst
record and put him at the obvious
disadvantage of having chance to
close up on the field in the remaining
three rounds to complete the 72hole
route.
1t seemed probable, however. that
even Hagen and Joe Stein, who also
had An 80. would come through the
second days play not more than 21
strokes behind the leader, to qualify
WITH the rest OF the players from the
United States and Jurado, the Ar
gentine, and continue play Thursday
in the final 36 holes to decide the
championship.
1t was realized today that 1t would
take some far better work by the
Americans, other than Mehlhorn. to
make headway up and through the
field Of exceptionally fine scoring
British professionals to give them
chance to win the event or get within
the $1,000 prize money.
Scores of the United States profes-
sionals yesterday follow: Bill Mehl-
