A NEW definition of the service
~ ruling for tennis. designed to
"A eliminate the possibility of a
4 a foot-fault and the controversy
which has consistently arisen
over the Interpretation of the old
ruling, was put forth by the Inter
national Lawn Tennis Federation
held in Paris recently with twenty
three nations represented.
Should the rule be adopted by the
L. =. Lawn Tennis Association, it will
prove invaluable to match officials, al
though it is sure to bring protests
from some players who unconsciously
have formed the habit Of committing
footfalts two-thirds of the time that
they are serving.
According to the new definition, it
will be impossible for a player to
serve his ball and start for the net
simultaneously-th is, be on his
way before the ball has actually left
his rackets as many players whose
fort is net attack are wont to do.
The Vital Clause.
The vital clause in the new rule
provides that:
THE server shall throughout the
delivery Of the service: (al Not change
his position by walking or running;
(b) maintain contact with the ground;
(c) keep both feet behind that is,
further from the net than the base
line"
Fred Hawthorne, noted tennis critic.
in answering the question of whether
this clause in the new rule need prove
serious handicap to mans service,
says: ut is possible, even for
short player, to observe the rule with
out seriously affecting the power of
his delivery.
1T is notorious fact, however, that
the great majority of players. men
and women. commit foot-faults fire.
quently during match. In many
cases. particularly among the women,
no advantage Is gained by these trans
gressions for the reason that they
very rarely start rush for the net
at the moment the ball is struck The
men, however. are generally we'll on
their way from the base line by the
time the ball has been hit, thus gain.
ing distinct advantage over their
opponents
"Supposing the rule is adopted by
the L. $. l.. r. A. there is certain
to be a deal Of discussion and adverse
comment upon the part of those
players who have become so accus-
toned to violating the rule, even
though often unintentionally. that it
has become a matter Of habit with
Them
"A careful reading Of the new def
milton leads to the impression that
here at last is an alright, fool-proof
rule. and II II turns out to be that
in actual practice, then it will come
as boon to players and footfault
judges alike"

 With dividend action on General Motors common less than a week away, and April sales of cars by sev- eral of the leading companies re- ported at a new monthly peak for the year, little difficulty was experi- enced in attracting a following in the motor shares.
