This is not such a dirty slam-at a really" fine 'sport as it might appear at first sight, but merely our way of saying that for donkey's years our role in tennis has been strictly that of a spectator; and no sport on earth will give you a crick in the neck -as quicky "and surely as __ watching first-grade tennis, unless | 'your observation post is directly. back of one of the base-lines. * * * Not that we Canadians get much chance of taking a swivel at first- grade tennis, the quality. of our ~-native game sceming to improve: at about the same rate of speed. as that of our race-track Thorough-- "breds--and if you think that is a complimentary remark, you're wel- come. : A * * . Our Canadian racket-wielders are' pretty much outclassed any time they step into top-notch competi- tion, and. that's all there is about it; and while it's customary--and . easy--to put the blame almost en- tirely on our weather conditions, it's possible -that there may be other reasons as well. With so many On- tario communities - cither cngaged in, or planning, the construction |. of sports centres, possibly the fol- lowing remarks regarding the proper courts to build in order to encourage fast tennis may not be too far off the beam. * * * real secret that the best the world -is played in California. A - prominent official out there recently stated that they considered - it ~a- poor --year when their players didn't win at least seventy-five per gent off their matches in the major national and international tournaments. He wasn't just boasting, either, He was simply stating a fact that's borne out by the records. And it can't all be just sun and balmy weather, because other sections of the world are blessed with those commodities as well as California--but they still don't have the mass production of Grade A racketeers. ' * * * --~ It's no tennis in Gene Mako, who tennis fans re- call as doubles partner of Don Budge,--and a grand combination they were--believes that the nature of the courts they play on has far more to do with California young- sters' success than the Shimate, Un- like most other places, young Cal- ifornians are brought up almost ex- _clusively on tennis courts of con- | crete manufacture. * * * In- contrast to the surfaces in use throughout' the rest of the - country, the concrete. court gives tennis balls a good, true bounce. One thing this tends to deveop in a player is smoothness and rhythm of stroking. * * * The bounce, too, off concrete is faster than grass or cla: or practi- cally any other surface outside of hardwood. What does this mean? More speed, for one thing. * * * The daveloament of the attacking ALY wer --- game that is synonymous with success in tennis, for another. "On concrete you learn to hit and come in" Mako explains. - You learn to play correctly. Look over the lists of recent years. See if you ccan find a clay courts player who consistently won any of the, big tournaments. You know why they haven't? Clay court players are 90 per -cent baseliners, And you just can't win big matches from the baseline." : : LJ + * Mako, who now is a construc- .- tien engineer and a specialist at cement courts, recently returned to California from a trip East. "Back there and in the Midwest they know nothing ~ about cement construc- tion," he claims, "They do it all wrong. Whey they do build a ce- ment court they do it by sections.' * * * "Any one-proéess pour is super-. for to a two-process," he explained. "That way you get a flat, even sur- face that is free from buckling." In constructing a cement court, Mako likes to have his crew begin pouring at 6:30 in the morning of the appointed day. If all goes well, that phase of the job ought to take no more than four hours, That js, for a court of normal size, say 60 by 120 feet. * * * "At noon, just as the cement starts to settle, the hand finishers go to work," Mako explained. "This is the most important part of the operation. A hand-applied rotary finish must be put on the "court." A delicate process, the work is demanding of an artisan's skill, "Out of 100 hand finishers," Mako said, "maybe you will get three good ones." * * * Don't go out ndw. and build your- self a backyard cement court simply on the ba®is of what you have just read. There is a whole lot more to it than that. For instance, things. like screening, tapping and leveling with a bull floater, a kind of long- handled blotter, which removes the surface. moisture from the freshly poured cement. If the court is to be built_in the East, or some-. where where frost conditions pre- vail, it will either have to be erected on piers sunk into the ground or laid on an extra-heavy base of crushed and powered rock. * * * -- Of course, the cement courts are expensive. Say between $5,000 and $6,000, dcpending upon the type and location, After that, though, there is practically no upkeep. The courts don't have to be watered, rolled, sodded or, better than any- ) thing, mowed. Howéver, uneniployment insur- ance has enabled many people to obtain cars who never would have owned them otherwise. : After A Canadian Prairie Fire They were fortunate, the women who lived near the wide valley of the South Saskatchewan. Its _cou- lees broke the monotony of wide horizons. Its bottoms provided hay and grazing for cattle.. There was even a little wood, mostly poplar. Best of all there was the river it- self, water flowing in a land of very little water. Somewhere for picnics. Somewhere to go. The wo- man' who had lived above the steep banks, not two miles from the stream, and who had no way of crossing it, did not know where it came from nor 'where it went, Qften she wondered. Often, in sum- "and she liad not the energy to make her way down to the water's edge and climb up again, she sat on the high rim of the valley and watched the shining, tawny river coming from one bend, disappearing to the northeast around another. Where did it go? Had it indeed cut this. wide valley? How many millions of thoughts made her feel puny and in- significant. Sometimes they instilled in her a peace which was eternal and satisfying. 'In the early days she used to bathe in the river, cau- tiously, because of all she had heard "about its dangerous currents and shifting sands. When the children were old enough to go down to the river alone, they never went with- out the old familiar cautioning to stay behind-th: sand bar. Prairie fires threatened in spring and fall. The acrid, sweet smell of turning grass came quickly on the fast wind. ; oes Yet after a prairie fire, how quickly and how gloriously the cro- cus bloomed in spring! Somehow wild roses survived. Tiger lilies grew. It is always that way along the South Branch. Bad luck. Mis- fortune, Heartbreak. And then wild flowers 'that made you want to "smile with the sheer joy -of liv- ing. You can 'woo the prairies, too. --Patiently, land contours, you may construct - a dugout to hold water or throw up an earth dam across a coulee. Sun and a fairly stable water supply will do the rest. Vegetables and flowers, huge spikes of showy gla- dioli which make: Saskatchéwan gladioli the envy of the continent, sweet peas to scent the entire house, petunias and incredible snapgdragons, colors that have to be seen to be believed--they are the highlight of . the short, swift-growing season. For the most part, they are the work of white women who came' and-made the prairie of the South Saskatche- wan home.--From 'The Saskatche- avan," by Marjorie Wilkins Camp- bell. r : Ps HAITI E7777 WI77 777, AG LEFT Cup Storage # STORE MORE DISHES IN STEEL WALL CABINET BY PROVIDING HOOKS FOR CUPS..s 7] RESON SRR wi | OILS, GREASES, TIRES, -Batleries,-Falnts, | mer, because the day was too hot .. __years_had it -taken?-Sometimes the -- '| saw bits and holders. carefully--studying the ACCOUNTING ry FOR SALE BOOKKEEPING .& ACCOUNTING SERVICE Irving N.
