"The Louis people are begin

even with that, our man thinks
he's getting q shade the worst
of it. His story is that Schmeling,
as champion, would have got 4212

last September the German was
offered IS per cent to take Louis
right back again after the June

The Yanks could make but

eight off Lefty Gomez, including

You have your racquet to defend
yourself with and besides to be hit
with a tennis ball is no worse than
the Ickings we all used to get as
kids.
In playing the net do not get too
close to it nor should you be too
far away from it. The correct posi-
ton is to play approximately five
to eight feet behind the net.
There are times when you can
move right in on top of the net for
a kill and then there are times
when you must play back the full
eight feet or even more so that
you will not he lobbed over.

come from a Standing.up position.
On the other hand, it is much
easier to stand up from a crouch.
ing position and hit a high ball.
In volleying try to block the
ball instead Of making q stroke.
You will find you can get plenty
Of speed on a volley simply off
your opponents shot. Here at
the net it is vital that when you
make a volley you are sideways
to the net with your feet parallel
with the net. This keeps you
well balanced and enables you
to watch the ball more easily.
In smashing the ball at the
net you use the same strike you
use when YOU serve.

VINES ADVISES TO ALWAYS TRY TO WORK IN CLOSE TO NET

You should always try to work
in close to the net so that you can
volley down into your opponents
court.
However, if your opponent is
clever, when he sees you coming
into the net like that the first
thing he will do is to lob over your
head, so be careful about, getting
too close to the net.
On the other hand, If you play
too far back, say IL feet from
the net, many times you will find
that you have to make ankle-high
volleys from a height below the
top Of the net.

In volleying you use the same
grip for q forehand volley as you
use for a forehand drive, then for
the backhand volley you use the
same grip as you use on your
backhand drive. In other words,
whether you drive or volley, you
have only two grips, the forehand
grip and the backhand grip.
You should volley from a
crouching positions. This is be-
cause you will hit more low balls
than you will high balls when
playing the net. If you are al
ready in a low crouching position
You can handle these low shots
much better than If you have to

You can city n let the ball
bounce and hit it, or hit the ball
on the fly.
I have found that the Smashes
close to the net are best taken
on the fly, while the ones at the
back of the court are best
handled after bouncing.
This, however, Is q matter for
each individual player to decide.
One bit Of advice on smash

should be treated as such. Don't
baby it, but sock it hard for an

DECLINING TRADE
BALANCE NOT BAD
Won't Hurt United States
To Be on Import Side
Now and Then
By CHARLES II. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, Sept. because it ap-
pears on paper that the United States
of late, has been importing more
goods than it exports, deal of wor-
rying is being done throughout the
land
We always have considered ours an
exporting country. Our theory has
been that we were getting the better
of the remainder of the world, by
selling abroad more than we bought
from there We called this a balance
of trade in our favor. The nations
that it was against did not seem to
mind it, but it pleased us.
Now that the tide appears to have
turned the other way we are greatly
upset. The popular inclination evil
IDENTIFY is to blame Secretary of State
Cordell Hulrs reciprocal customs
treaties with an increasingly leng-
thened list of other powers.
Must Balance.
AS a matter of fact, international
trade always balances.
Manifestly, it must. It consists SIM
ply in a swapping of goods or their
equivalent Cor their equivalent; don't
forget that between countries.
If one country persistently has the
advantage over another country it is
obvious that the latter country ulti-
mately will be completely cleaned
out, and no longer worth while for
the former country to continue trad
ing with.
Of course no two countries swap
exactly $3.50.
But triangularly, or poly-angularly,
the swapping levels out.
