THE FIRST STEP."

whatever you do, don't drive at him. It used to be all right before people ware as good volleyers as they are to- day, but in present day tennis you are merely inviting a kill .....

In serving, stand, aa à general rule, as near the middle of the base line as poss- ible, and serve down the centre linë, Very often, particularly in serving into the right hand court you will get an op- portunity of going up on that service. If you are a good volleyer go up to the net while your partner is serving, other. wise stand level with him on the base. line and let him go up.

The first step in tactics, mast be to find out not only your opponent's weak- ness, but his strength. Then you on play hard on to the weak point, and keep carefully away from the strong one. As I have hinted, moet players are weak on the back-band, and it is as well to experiment with this first. You will find that every player has a pet shot, and I There seems to be a great deal of bare often met one of them who, say, ignorance about where a player should with a powerful fore-hand drive, has stand while a partner is receiving a deliberately left open the forehand court service.

here again the partner should be level with the receiver. This is particularly the case if the service coming from the other side is good, and the receiver not too strong. To stand at the net is mere- ly to invite "baving the ball bang down the gully between you, by the server's

I think that is the term. II your opnet. ponent does this, keep on edging him or her more and more away, from the pet stroke, until at last you get an opportu nity of whipping one across a little bit quicker than usual, too quick for him to recover, watchful though he may be.

Even if you are a good volleyer don't rush up to the net on every stroke. The best one to go in on is a hard drive down the centre line. It is very difficult for anyone to pass you after that shot, as the angle, as we call it, is so naITON,

If you partner lobs, and lobs short, and you are at the net, run back. If he changes courts your do the same. There.

The generally used tactics in lawn. tennis are these. You try to get your opponent out of position in one part of the court, so as to place the ball outis none of the old set rule of one player of his reach in another. This may be one court to-day- done..even from the back line, but it is

far more sure to go up on a weak return and volley.

If you are opposed to anyone who is strong driver from the back line, and keeps on sending good length balls to keep you there, try to draw him to the net with a few short ones, and then there are two things to do. You may try to pass him with a swift passing strokej or lob to his back line, preferably, as I have said before, to his back-hand corner.

Again, if you are a hard driver your self, try to master the drop stroke. Then, after succession of hard drives to either hand, drop a short one with, per- hape, plenty of cut on it.

WEATHER REPORT.

Last night's weather roport, forecast and remarks issued by the Royal Obser vatory stated:

A phallow depression is shown over 8.W. China.

Local forecast---8.E. winds, moderate, cloudy.

" Don't forget it is easier to move for- ward than to move back, and, when in doubt, retreat to, the base line-if you have time! Otherwise go right up.

If you win the toss and you have a strong service elect to serve, but if you have a weak one take the worse court for the first game and, give your oppon- ents the service....

Above all, when in doubt, go for good length. If you can't get it any other way, with both your opponents at the Det if you are playing doubles, lob for it. If you are caught badly out of post- tion steady yourself. There's always a chance of getting even a smash back with a ball volley.

In short use your brains. It pays in lawn tennis just as it does in life.
