Common Service Errors

A great many players find that after they have learned to serve with good form, their service IS er- ratio at times. They fail into a rut of over- driving the service.line, or of hitting Into the net, and are unable to analyze their fault In time to avoid defeat.
 Hitting Into the net while serv- ing is generally caused by tossing the ball too far out in advance of the body. The ball should be tossed just slightly in front of the right shoulder. Otherwise, if tossed too far out in front, the racket will have passed over the peak of the swing, and will naturally force the ball straight down into the net.
 StlII another cause of netted
 balls is the result of Imparting
 too much tOp.spIn. If the
 racket.face Is turned over too
 much toward the ground at the
 moment of impact, or if the
 racket Is travelling upward too
 fast ct the moment of impact
 .. instead of into the ball,
 the amount of spin will be too
 great for the force with which
 the ball has been hit.
 Over driving the service-iine comes as the result of not impart. Ing sufficient top-spin to bring the ball down in court or from toSs- ing the ball too far back over the right shoulder. If the ball has been tossed too far back, it is far more difIicult for the server to hit with the racket tTaveiing upward at the moment of impact. which greatly iessens the amount of spin on the ball.
 lt should be remembered. that the bali must be hit at the extreme top Of . players reach, and that every ball must carry a SlfIicicnt amount of top-spin to bring It down in court.

DOPE STORY ON JOE LOUIS PEEPS
 UP RING WORLD
Negro Investigator Insists on Charge That Boxer
 Was "Needled"
By STEVE SNYDER
LlnItna Pre.. stnR Correspondentl

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Chicago, July lS.-tUP)--DeSpite blanket denials by Joe Louis, his managers and the closest members of his family, a rumor that clouded the Louis- -Schmellng fight persisted today with 6 private detective pub- fishing an afiidaVit that the Brown Bomber was drugged 20 minutes be- fore the bout.
 Tn the face of such whole-hearted denials, the boxing world chose to look the other way when Sheridan A. BruSeaux, Q dapper negro inves. tiRator, first revealed his sworn statement that Mrs. Eulalia Barrow Gaines, Louis sister, admitted to him Joe had received hypodermic shortly before the fight.
 Bruseaux's apparently sincere in- siStence, however, demanded Q hearing.
 everything I said in that af- fidavit is true beyond any reason- able doubt" he said. 1T have wit- nesses and other afiidaVits to prove It."
 Lined against Bruseaux were:
 Joe Louis: T had nothing done to me before the fight"
 Mrs. Gaines: T never said any such thing"
 John Peterborough, co-manager of the young heavyweight: That re- port IS outrageous"
 Mike Jacobs, who promoted the bout: Louis told me by telephone the only drug he had was in the fourth round-Max Schmelings right hand punches"
 The 46-year-old detective, who has spent half his life proving Chicago's South Side black belt, said he was hired the day after the fight to determine whether there was rift in Joe's married life to affect his showing against Schmeiing,
 He said his client called him of the case after his first report, but added he kept in contact with 1t be- cause he began learning amazing things"
 The affldavit, drawn up in De. troit yesterday at the request of the New York boxing commission, said in part;
 q. that Joe Louis told his family, including Mrs. Eulalia Barrow Gaines, that he had been administered a hypodermic in his left arm on the day of the Schmel- ing fight.
 Mrs. Gaines further said that Louis asserted he had been admin. istered the hypodermic for high blood pressure and that the muscles of his left arm refused to relax, making 1t impossible for him to keep his left hand up."

 tors to Get Money

New York, N. Y, July 16.-(UP) At noon today . white flag with five interlockins circles will rise slowly to the yardarm of the 8, s. Manhattan.
 An acthletic army of 334 men and women will come to attention on her decks.
 The notes of the Star SpanSled Banner will float out across the Hudson.
 Then-to the deep-throated roar of the ships siren, and the scream ing whistle of the methering tugs the Manhattan will case out into the harhor, and point her prov toward the open sea.
 And the l93e American olympic team, the strongest ever rnarshalled under the Stars and Stripes, will be on It's way to Berlin to throw its strength and its courage against the world.
 It will be the largest team ever to sail for the Olympics from these shores, surpaSsing in numbers even the giant squad which represented this country in the 1928 games at Amsterdam. On board will be every man and woman who qualified for the g various teams. And 1t will be the happiest team In history, for in sailing at full strength 1t had realized a goal despite tremendous handicaps.
 The first obstacle 1t overcame-- and 1t was a serious one--waS the bitter opposition of the anti.Nazi group, which missed voting down participation at Berlin by only two votes. The second barrier hurdlcd was the most dire financial famine in Olympic history. Ten days ago the deficit of the budget was siS0,- 900, and 1t seemed that only Q skele- ton squad of fewer than 200 would be able to make the trip. Thirty six hours before the scheduled sail- ing time there still was a deficit of 9S0,000, and teams were slashed right and left. But l2 hours this side of the absolute deadllne, the money was raised. It was raised by every conceivable means. The pulp lie was appealed to. Officers dove into their pockets. Competitors pawned jewelry, sold cars, withdrew every penny of HlieaSer savings, and borrowed from friends and rela- relatives.
 The only trimming of personnel that was done was on the mems swimming team, and 1t was not be- cause three relay men had been added to the squad in excess of the number permitted under olympic rules.
