I 0 "June 26. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 TENNIS TOPICS by Mercer Beasley, Tennis Coach,Indian Hill Club. I have just received the report of the finals of The Veterans doubles championship, metropolitan district, N. Y., match held at Forest Hills last Saturday. It seems to me that some attention should be paid by all those who love Tennis, to this match, not only on account of the Veteran Aspect, but on account of the make up of the two teams. Perhaps it would be better for me to bracket the names, and give their standings. * The winners: Sam. Hardy (Captain of Davis Cup Team 1921). William A. Campbell (former Vet-, erans Singles Champion). The losers: Wm. A, Larned (seven times cham- pion of U..S.). H. H. Hackett (former doubles Champion and Davis Cup player). The score was 7-5, 6-2, 6-4, but this does not tell the story. To begin with it was supposed that Larned would be the outstanding star, by reason of his. wonderful control. His partner Hackett was looked upon to be a stone wall on defenses, in fact this team was picked to win. Now, we find that Larned was made the centre of attack, and that Hackett had little to do, we begin to sit up and take notice, because even if Campbell did live up to his reputation, it was not supposed that Hardy would put on view the wonderful exhibition that he did. Yet it remains a fact that he was the only one that earned more points, when tallied against his er- rors. I notice that in the second set game number 5, Eddie Conlin, the best um- pire that ever was, called deuce 8 times, this shows what a battle the old war horses can put up. The recapitulation.

To prove that over there they are preparing for big do- ings Wimblendon has a new home all ready for this tournament. The new plant excells any thing we have, so it is said. The stands are made of concrete, and completely surround the center court. Seating accommodations for 14,000 have been provided. One good feature has been brought forward, the stands are covered, thus the sun, or the rain will not get in their good work, and at least every one will be able to see. Upon very good authority I am that Suzanne never meets Molla in the Finals. Molla, will meet some one else. Answer to last week's question for the kiddies. Yes, the only conditions are that he shall not volley the ball until it has crossed the net, and that he does not teuch the net, or any of its supports while the ball is in play. This week's Question: A player is struck by the ball served before it has touched the ground, he being outside of service court. How does it count? The Chicago Daily News Tourna- ment begins June 12, and entries close June 8. Sign now on the dotted line, boys, and girls, and juniors. Have had the pleasure of watching ; Messrs. McConnell, Brown, Brunker, and Elting play up at Indian Hill, wonder if Mr. Miller at Skokie would like to trot out four against them, this is not a challenge, simply implies that we are going pretty strongly these days.

Looks as if Harry Holbrook would win the singles title. P. A. Vaile, writing in the Herald under date of May 31, has decided to spank ae Umpires association and the U. S. Lawn Tennis association for their failure to properly set forth a Foot Fault rule. Mr. Vaile states he drew up a rule for the Umpires asso- ciation at their request and, much to his surprise, they did not adopt it, but did zet up one themselves which is all wrong. To quote Mr. Vaile we find under Rule 6: Rule 6. Before commencing to serve the server shall stand with both feet at rest behind (i. e., farther from the net than) the base line and within the limits of the center mark and side- line. From the time of taking such stand and until the racket strikes the ball, both feet shall remain behind the base line and at least one foot shall remain on the ground." Notice, that although the rule says within what limits one shall start the service, one's moving beyond such limits dur- ing the service, provided one remains behind the base line. The consequence is that one may legally step across the center mark, in the act of serving, ball straight down the court, of course, is not tennis and was never intended by the solons who meddled | with the laws. it imposes no restriction on | and deliver the | which, | This must and will be altered.
