In aid of the Stephen's College Build. ing Fund, a good match has been ar ranged to be played puxt Friday, at the Hard Courts of the Hongkong Univer aity. It will be a doubles match and no worthier players could have been selected to participate than the brothers Ng Sze Kyong aid Ng Bee Cheung as cne pair and the cousins H. D. and 8. A. Rumjahn as the other. Admission to the courts will be by ticket.

Apart from the purpose for which the proceeds will be appropriated, the match will be particularly attractive. As is wellknown the luijahna captured the Doubles title at the recent Hongkong Ng Cricket Club Tennis Tournament.

not.

it is easier to play a ball which has got bounced than to play one which has. If a ball, is allowed to hit the ground it may do a dozen things. It may break one way or the other; the bound may be long and high, slow or quick; the ball may hang through having cut put on it; it may shoot, on a wet ground, for the same reason. But it can do none of these things until it has hit the ground, Therefore, I claim that it is easier to play the ball in the air.

Don't rush at a volley. Run as fast as you like but steady yourself as you make the stroke. Don't fluff, even if you are caught awkwardly placed in the middle of the court. Get your feet firm, grip your racket, And let the ball hit it! rather than hit the ball with it.

Volleys are best played from rising balls. That is why it is best to get as near the net as is possible. They have to be played alightly more downwards, in 'order to counteract the rising of the ball, but, of course, played this way they are more forceful than ever.

VOLLEY VARIATIONS.

It is a rather curious fact that some players, even beginners, play back hand volleys better than forehand ones. But that is only when they have learnt the value of putting their thumb up the back of the handle. In back-band volleying this is absolutely essential, oven more so than in the back-hand stroke proper, You can guide your cross court volleys in this way somehow, much better.

There are, of course, many variations

The trouble with most people is that they only volley to get themselves out of difficulties when they are caught out of the plain volley. There is the stop of position. Generally that position is volley, which is played, close to the net, the worst in the world for volleying, of course, by relaxing the grip and being either on the service line or be allowing the ball to hit a loosely held tween there and the base line.
