MR. R.E. LINDSELL ON LOCAL TENNIS
NEED FOR IMPROVED SERVICE
ENCOURAGING ADVICE TO YOUNG PLAYERS
LEAGUE MATTERS
NEW RELEGATION AND PROMOTION SYSTEM
(By "VERITAS".) MR.R. E. Lindsell, President
of the Hongkong. Lawn Tennis Association, struck something of a new and wel. come note in his address to club delegates at the annual meeting yesterday, when he stressed the necessity for im. proving the standard of the local game by players concen. trating on one of two ciples,

It was an appeal to the young players not to be discouraged by the absolute ascendancy of such exponents the Rumjahu" cousing and other leading Hong- kong tennis luminaries.
He advised them firstly to take every opportunity of studying play- ere such as the Japanese Davis Cup team and other experts when they appeared on local courts. By 50 doing they would find much to learn in the way of correct footwork and stroke production.
This is very sound advice, and coming from one, who, a few years ago, was a by no means în- ferior wielder of the racket, and who enjoys years of experience with the game and its associates, is worthy of acceptance by those younger players who are keenly endeavouring to improve! their game.
SERVICE, WEAKNESS.
Mr. Lindsell too, emphasised a weakness in Hongkong tennis which
I have more than once aired, name- ly the deplorable lack of a winning service stroke.
As the L.T.A. President rightly pointed out, in first class tennis, it is worthy of press and general comment when a service has been hroken through, whereas in Hong- tong. such is the careless attention paid to this stroke, that the reverse is very often the case.
A timely illustration of the paint was the continual losing of service by Fincher in the doubles final. Rumjahn's persistent double faults "Indicate carelessness,and lack of appreciation of the service us 4 weapon of attack.
