Philadelphia, June %. = (UP)-- For several years my chief hobby sGalong with the raising of bloodod pullfinches) has been Q study Of American spectators, in an effort to determine which species can take the most punishment.
 Naturally, because of my occupa- ton, my major research has been in the field of sport spectators. l know this branch rather thoroughly and am not boasting when ! soy ! can tell you, within Q degree or two, exactly how much hardship football, golf, tennis, rowing, polo, and horse- shoe pitching crowds will endure to watch their favcrites.
 Until I journeyed to Cleveland tor the republican national convention, and came down here for the demo: cratic one, l had always considered the football Hilbert and the golf goober as the two hardest nuts of tho spectator assortment. I have seen q football 1ilbert laugh h the face of hardships which would have repulsed Byrd on his dash to the Pole.

Base Your Attack on Spin

Base Your Attack on Spin
 Most players realize that the pri. mary object of spin Is to control their shots. It Is seldom, however that the inexperienced player will resort to spin as c method of at- tacking, or of forcing on opponent into error.
 Speed alone is not difficult to handle, but Q hard hit ball which Is controlled by spin is not only less susceptible to error, but ls infinitely more difficult to handle, to to It's curve and uncertainty of bounce.
 Top.spin, for example, is one
 of the most effective types of
 spin to use on the offensive.
 When used against c player who
 persists in rushing in to the
 net, the top-spin drive in valur
 able as Q passing shot down the
 line. Not only can c ball carry-
 this type of spin be hit with
 greater force and control. af-
 fording the receiver less time to
 get into position for his return,
 but the forward-spin of the ball
 causes 1t to come off the court
 ct Q much greater speed than 1t
 travelled ct while, in the air.
 As most all volleying strokes are sliced, 1t is extremely difficult to volley Q top-spinning ball ct the net. The volleyer merely increases the amount of spin which is already on the ball by slicing 1t, making 1t dif- ficult to lift the volley over the net.
 Nothing so abstracts Q player as to be fed Q combination of well placed shots. These shots are difficult to hit with any amount of force, and due to the uncertainty of bounce the receiver Is oftentimes forced to hit while off balance.
 Vary your spin, and never give an opponent on opportunity to play his favorite stroke.

 "No woman need fear the tryan- ny of fat" declares Mime. Aino Sii- mola, who in private life is the wife of Kurt JooSs, the director of the famous Jooss European Ballet.
 Accomplishments
 She continued: Among the ac- complishments which every wo- man should possess is dancing. I odnot mean ballroom dancing-I mean dancing that not only in- plies exercise but demands an ar tistic form of expression as well. She does not have to turn profess sioraal for this; what Is more to the point, quite aside from the pleas ure in the dance itself, she will find that tiresome diets and violent reducing exercises are of no further use to her.
 Mme. Jooss is a native of Es- thonia, which explains the unusual name of Aino. She was seventeen when she astounded her family by the request to join the Jooss Ballet. Exclamations punctured the air 'Why leave home to study darlc- ing?" they queried. Wasn't Aino the star Uf all the local festivities?
