Nlional Tennis Doubles Champion.
I nlrersal Service Staff Correspondent.
W* have often heard tbo remark that the service in lawn tennis is
half the battle. The critjes point to the feet that Maurice E. McCoughlin, ,
the great California "comet," came east a few years hack and. with nothing
more than a remarkable service and a wonderful volley game, ho was able
to down all opposition both in America and on the other side of the water.
There is no denying the fact that the service is a very important item !
in a tennis player's armor. It is a qualification that either "makes or
breaks" a player. It is a vital factor at all times and in all matches. A j
player destitute of a good service can never hope to attain lofty heights
in the net game. i
My ties* service is a combination or:
the well-known American twist hit
with a flat straight stroke. It Is de
livered on the same principle of Wil
liam T. Tilden's cannon ball service.
To make this effective delivery, the
hall should he thrown at least two
feet above the head and must he hit
with a slanting racquet cutting the
hall on either side, which causes it
to take a peculiar loop after it comes
in contract with the opposite side
of the court.
I am continually asked whether
I hit rriv second service with the
same speed that T do my first. Vo,
not usually, unless T atn enjoying a
lead that T know is perfectly safe.
The degree of difference Iwtween the
two is very slight, however, and can
not he detected by an audience
To use a flat hall against “Little
Bill” Johnston Is “suicide ” 1 am
sure “Bill" Tilden will agree with
me on this point. The Californian
is a demon on a speedy serve and
on an average of seven times out of
in he will drive it back at you like
the proverbial bullet.
Opposite Tilden 1 deliver a service
to “Big Bill” that only bounces a
trifle after it hits the ground. The
' Philadelphian on most occasions re
quires long swings to execute his
strokes.
Th hardest serve in the game for
me to hit is delivered by that former
national champion and Davis cup
star. Richard Norris Williams
“Dick" makes no distinction at all
between his first and second ball and
his aervlco is usually going Very
well. It skids into one with a low
nasty bound that makes it almost
impossible for a player to execute a
descent stroke. It is indeed lucky
fo me that Williams occasionally
double faults.
In advising ambitious young play
ers. I would say that in order to ac
quire an effective service, they
should eliminate excessive speed until
they arc able to place their hall into
play. In this way they w-,1! gain
the necessary control and in time
the speed wall come to them.

Tom Molineaux, one of the first of i

the 15th round, cringing under Car- |

crying “Oh, dear! Oil. dear! Murder! ’
He went down without being hit.

to coaxing, or pleading, or threaten

poltroon.
That's what whisky did
It happened that ( aider was even
more faint-hearted than Molineaux
that day—or a faker.
In tile 25tIt round, with Molineaitx
dead beat. Carter fainted on the ■
knee of his second. He lost the bat

Whisky did that. too.
Whisky undermined the boy’*

It made a “dog" of a lion.

After a glance at 1TW athletes in the
open air when they got together for
a seven inning game, Coach Scott Dye
was convinced that he had the mak
ings of a hall club. None of the play
era were showing any midseason form
and the hits came few and ffr be

Georgse Smaha. who played short
last year, ha** been shifted to first
base, and “Mud" Volz, sophomore,
who appeared on the varsity basket

Bloomfield. Neb. March H.—The
proposition of formirg a Tri-County

much favor in the various towns, and
a meeting will be called soon to dis
