BALL GAMES.

SERVICE AT TENNIS.

WHY TWO SERVES ARE ALLOWED.

There has been a certain amount of discussion lately about the "why and wherefore" of the rule which allows a player two services at Lawn Tennis. It is interesting, therefore, says a correspondent of the Merning Fast, to sketch the history and deve- lopment of service in ball games of the type to which Lawn Tennis be longs. It is a type not easy to define accurately, but "Games where one or more people play directly against each other, using the same ball. which is either struck with an imple ment or with the hand or is thrown," covers the ground fairly well.

one player throws up the ball for the other to hit, and the striker can refuse any service he does not like. At Pallode, the ball is thrown up and the striker runs down an inclined plane and hits it with an implement į known as the braccizie,
