The reaction against this Gor ernment is proceeding with such a momentam, that vast masses of the working population, in their anxiety to get away from Toryism, are swinging to the farthest ex treme.

The answer to this can be brief and possibly it is unkind. There Are probably more mistakes made id the simple act of throwing up a ball for the service than in any, other part of the game of lawn tennis

Why should it be so when you can throw up the ball" pretty much as you like, and you are not distracted by anything your opponent can do in the matter? The reason seems to be that it is cle of those easy things which no one takes the trouble to learn properly.

How many times running, for instance, do you throw up the ball into exactly the same place? Yet, for the same sort of service it should always go up to exactly the same point.

That should be, in the ordinary way, straight above your head, and the height should be such that, when you hit it with your arm at full stretch, the ball i met by the exact centre of the strings.

If the ball is not in exactly the right place, everything connected with the service is altered and thrown out of gear. The swing back goes wrong, and consequently the swing forward. The positions of the shoulder and the arm have to be altered to accommodate the Facket, with a resulting loss of power.

You can proftably spend a few minutes occasionally throwing up the ball for the service. Greater Players than any of us have been content, to do so when they hare suspected that they were making slight mistakes.-Miss JOAN FAY in the Daily Mail,
