AN EXPERIMENT,
There will not be time if I am to take lawn tenuis seriously and also attend to business. The simple fact is that a little while ago I played lawn tennis several times at Gleneagles with Major Rendall, an expert coach, who told me that I had. all the shots and ought to concentrate on "the gume. I haro decided to follow his advice and see what happens. The curious thing is that since I applied my self diligently to it I have come back to Name of my old form of golf.
"I am going to give layn tennis a real trial by training hard to get completely fit for it and practising Hard with a pro- efessional coach every evening and through- cut the winter." I hope to be good enough to play at Wimbledon next year. but if I do not minke satisfactory progress I shall give it up and again devote my spare time to golf. It's just am experi ment."

At any rate, I have never heard of anybody doing it. Mr. Leslie Balfour Melville was good at both games at about the same period. He won the amateur golf-championship and the Scottish lawn tennis championship. Mr. J. W. B. Pease wus is both the golf and lawn tennis teams at Oxford. Mr. H. L. Doherty became a leuling, amateur golfer after he had given up lawn tennis, and there seems to be more chance of doing this than of becoming a lawn tennis champion after years of golf.
Mrs. R. J. McNair (All England doubles champion at lawa tennis and a scratch player at golf):
I cannot recall any instance of a first- class golfer having become a leading lawn. tennis player. The nearest approach has been Lord Charles Hope, "who made his name at golf and later developed very great ability at lawu tennis. There have been several examples in the opposite direction, Bliss Lottie Lod won the lawn tennis championship five times and later became golf champion."
