Doherty on Lawn Tennis But, though English and American players vary in style from one another and among them selves, yet constant play against all sorts of opponents in all sorts of places under all condi tions - on courts of grass, wood, gravel, sand, asphalte, concrete; in weather dull, rainy, bright, burning - has made as sure that there are some instructions which can have very few exceptions. On these general principles we have laid great stress, and in order to impress them upon the reader we have purposely left out a great deal about the history of the game, &c.

Download or read book Lawn Tennis in America written by Valentine G. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis in America: Biographical Sketches From boyhood - not so very many years ago - I have taken great delight in the game of lawn tennis. I have observed with great interest the rapid progress which the game has made in popular favor. It has been my pleasure to attend many of the tournaments referred to in the following pages, and to meet the leading players who are described therein. My notes have gradually accumulated, and have given me some busy, pleasant hours. It has occurred to me that many of the large and growing numbers of both sexes with whom tennis is popular might find these pages of some interest, and not without value. It has not been my purpose to write a history of tennis, or to attempt to instruct players - my knowledge is not sufficient for such things. If lovers of tennis find my pages of interest for pleasant reminiscence, or for reference, or for comparison with the work at the net, I shall be satisfied. I have devoted the first part of the book to biographical sketches of six of the most prominent players in America, together with accounts of all the important tournaments in this country held during 1885 to 1887, inclusive. Following this is an account of the Renshaw brothers, together with a description of the championship matches and principal tournaments of Europe. I have added a table which shows the rank of the more prominent players abroad. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Strokes and Science of Lawn Tennis I have been compelled to illustrate these strokes myself, for there is no player in England who plays them. Here and there one finds a person who uses one or two of them, but it would, in a work of this nature, be obviously impossible to collect photographs of a great number of different players. These strokes are not here laid down as being the most perfect because I play them so. They are the most natural and effective strokes known, and are the result of the experience of practically all the most famous players in the world, except Messrs. R. F. And H. L. Doherty. This statement I shall refer to later on. It is confidently anticipated that this book will prove of great assistance, not only to beginners but to those players who, on account of their defective hold of the racket, cannot produce the best Lawn Tennis strokes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis Lessons For those who know nothing of the game, there fore, it will be necessary to furnish a brief intro duction. The rules themselves, the measure ments of the court and such other details will be found in the last pages of this volume, but these do not actually tell one how to play the game. Briefly then, lawn tennis is played by two, three or four persons divided into teams, with one or two on each side of the net which separates the contestants. The play is called singles if only one player appears on each side and doubles if two are on each side. Occasionally two players oppose one, and then the lines of the court for singles are used on the Side with one player and the wider court for doubles is used by the side with two players.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: In Our Own Country Any changes in Lawn Tennis, which the future may bring about, will probably be changes in the game itself and not in the court, upon which, or the implements with which, the game is played. There is every reason to believe that a court of 78 feet in length and 27 feet in width, and a net 3 feet high, present the best combination possible to induce Speedy play and accurate placing. The first of the -laws of Lawn Tennis, as adopted by the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, specifies the dimensions of the court and height of the net as follows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis for Ladies S a rule an author writes a preface to explain or to apologize for a book. I shall do neither: I have tried to explain my meaning simply and clearly in the book itself, and I am optimistic enough to think that my favourite game is too popular to require an apology for increasing its litera ture, however unpretentious the attempt may be. Moreover, I am still too much affected by the brilliant and feverish glow of enthusiasm to dream of offering one. Two things only I wish to say. First, that I am writing with no academic pride, but only with a passionate fondness for what I consider a great sport, and with a keen desire to make others equally devoted.

Download or read book Growth of Lawn Tennis in California Classic Reprint written by Wright And Ditson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-06 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Growth of Lawn Tennis in California The period prior to 1889 during which Lawn Tennis, transplanted from the East by enthusiasts who came to the Golden Gate to dwell and brought their favorite pas times with them, may be passed over lightly, for the game went through an uneventful infancy, and for the first decade following the formation of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association in that year by a few enthusiastic players, the growth of the game, although' rapid and consistent was not marked by any epoch making events. Clubs and tournaments increased rapidly and a strong rivalry began to spring up between the northern and southern portions of the State, which in itself gave an incentive to the players of these two sections to increase their efficiency. The chief drawback which prevented the experts 'of that period from becoming stars of the first magnitude was the fact that the competition was almost exclusively intrastate, and there was next to no opportunity for the leading players of the far west to measure their skill with that of the cracks of the east where the game hadnaturally advanced further, or with those of other coun tries. To be sure several forerunners to the all conquering Miss May Sutton did visit the east during this period and with most creditable results. Thus, in 1892, it was visited by Charles P. Hubbard, who, although not quite good enough to defeat the best players of that section, nevertheless obtained a ranking of No. 10.
