_--S TENNIS TOPICS by Mercer Beasley, Tennis Coach,Indian Hill Club. Mr. L. H. Waidner, was Western Winner of the all comers tournament in the year 1908, but lost the Title to his doubles partner, Mr. N. Emerson. It is also recorded, that Mr. Waidner held the Western doybles title, during the years, 1902, 1503, 1904, 1905, 1908, 1910, therefore Mr. Waidner would naturally qualify as an expert of the first rank. Now over at New Trier High School, is another coming cham- pion, none other than Miss Dorothy Waidner, the daughter of Mr. L. H. Waidner. This young lady has heeded the advice of her Dad, and has learned a game that is certainly worthy of her coach. Miss Marion Goodman who has the New Trier Tournament for girls in charge, did not hesitate to state that Miss Waidner was their Star, and that she expected great things of Miss Waidner in the Tennis world. So you see that it does matter just how one begins their game. There is nothing worse, than learning the wrong way, and then later on trying to change over. Sometimes, as I watch, the ttle folks trying to "hit every ball hard, trying to use their little wrists on the back hand I can well understand, the handicaps that they are playing under, for it is proven that it does not re- grire a lot of strength to get the ball over the net, deeply, and well placed. While on this subject it might be best to state that there is just one thing that is holding back many a budding player, and that is the 'scari- fice of a well played shot for the one incorectly played for the sake of win- ning the point. 1 very rarely allow a score to be kept when I have two pu- pils playing against each other, they play out the point and change from one side of the court to the other, but the whole idea is to execute the shots correctly, and to get into position. Headline; Mrs. Mallory was beaten in hed first tournament in England. Yey Mrs. Beamish the noted English player defeated her. We are advised further by another headline, that Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen, feels very badly over the defeat of Mrs. Mallory, and that she says that possibly Mrs. Mal- lory may not reach the finals at Wim- bledon. So far so good, but, there is always a "but" in tennis. Would any one have ever supposed that Suzanne would quit Mrs. Mallory on the courts? That she would not take a beating as all our girl players have done ever since Tournaments were started? No, Suzanne your wrong, dead wrong, and you know deep in your heart, that when you face Mrs. Mallory you're licked, mentally licked. Suzanne has it all doped out now, she argues that in as much as Miss Elizabeth Ryan defeated Mrs. Beamish 6-2, at Brussels, and that she defeated Miss Ryan rather easily, or rather hard according to the way she coughed ate, and at one time wanted to quit, and had to have her heart tested again after the match, she says that Miss. Ryan is a better player than Mrs. Mallory. Well, girls, you are certainly getting things stirred up over there, may the best player win, and may the match be played through. ------------------ The Davis Cup Matches are now getting underway. Italy and British Isles will play their Second Round matches in England on June 17th. There is a player coming from Au- stralia as member of the Davis Cup Team from that country who bids fair to be a sensation, his name is G. M. Hone, he is 21 years old, stands ¢ feet 6 inches in height. Mr. Hone accord- ing to Gerald Patterson, the Captain of the Australian Davis Cup Team, has a terrific service, and can smash as well as any player in the world. We are inclined to believe Gerald considering that Mr. Hone stands exactly 3 feet above the net at its highest point, and most certainly will have a reach of a few more feet. On Monday evening, June 5, Radio entered into the Tennis world, when Mr. Julian S. Myrick, President of the United States Lawn Tennis associa- tion, spoke through station W. J. Z. Mr. Myrick gave an address on the development of the game. Following Mr. Myrick, came Mr. Clifford Black, chairman of the Tennis Umpires' as- sociation, who spoke of the work of that organization. Wonder if Mr. Vaile of the Herald was listening to hear the latest about the Foot Fault Rule, that Mr. Vaile says is all wrong. The newly formed doubles team of Walter T. Hayes and A. M. Squair made a very good start for this season, capturing the Title event in the men's doubles Sherwood Cup Tournament on Sunday June 4, defeating Jerry and Jimmy Weber by the scores of 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-0. It is with much pleasure we record again that Champion "Bill" Tilden cleaned up in the Eastern Pennsyl- vania Tournament. Here's how Til den works when there is Tournament to close, 4th Round defeated Dr. P. B. Hawk who stands Number 6 in the Philadelphia District ranking, then in the semi final round Tilden de- feated Carl Fischer, following this up with a victory over the young Pacific Coast Star Phil. Bettens, Bettens took the Second set away from Tilden by the score of 5-7, and I note that in the next two set away from Betteng did not get a game. Having won the sing- les Tilden, playing with Sandy Wiener the 14 year old wonder, annexed the doubles title, defeating Fischer Broth- ers, by the interesting scores of 6-4, 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Tiider is now playing in Orange, New Jersey where Vinny Richards, Schimidzu, Voshell, Frank, and Fred Anderson and others will try to keep him busy. The Daily News Gold Medal, Chicago District Tennis Tournament will be gin on June 12. All those who have entered from this district, which in- cludes the northern limits of the City of Chicago and the northern Illinois line, will play their matches at The Skokie Country club. I am estimating that the entries will excead 900. The interest in this Tournament is bubbling along at a great rate, as an example, on Tuesday I went with Mr. Stephens of the News to New Trier High school; there the entries were collected, among those entered are Miss Elizabeth ("Bobs" Waidner, and about 30 other boys and girls, so you see that our Indian Hill section will certainly be represented strongly. Answer to last week's question: The player struck loses the point. The service is supposed to be good un- til it strikes in the wrong court, or out of court. A player can not take upon himself to make decision by stop- ping the ball. This week's question: A ball having been played over the net bounds back into the court from which it came. The player reaches over the net, and strikes it before it | ir falls. Has he a right to do so?

The! summery things are to be seen, also in pleasing abundance. Indians Have Curious Numeration. The Indians of Guiana have a curi- ous system of numeration. They count by the hand and its four fingers. Thus, when they reach five, instead of say- ing so, they call it a "hand." Six is therefore a "hand and first finger"; seven, a "hand and second finger." Ten is "two hands." But 20, instead of be. tng "four hands," is a "man." Forty Is "two men," and thus they go on by tweaties. Forty-six is expressed as "two men, a hand and first finger."
