Download or read book Tennis as I Play It Classic Reprint written by Maurice Evans McLoughlin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tennis as I Play It What pleases me so much in M. E. Mcloughlin's book on tennis is that he shows the reader what he himself does, not only what ought to be done. His idea of tennis is based on the theory: do what is natural, what is born in you; and I do not believe that anybody who has played the game can deny this being the only rule or maxim that stands with no exceptions. People who write books on tennis or try to teach the game seem to get theories into their heads and believe that there is a right way or wrong way for everything, and they try to reorganize your game according to these ideas. This is fatal, and you will notice in the following pages that mcloughlin has no idea of so doing. He admits the fundamental principles of the game, but believes it is what is born in you that must be culti vated and brought to flower. Thus his book is valuable to all players. He does not demand reconstruction to coin cide with some pet theories of his own. He presents you with basic ideas and illustrates his use of them, but he leaves it for you to execute them in your own particular Way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play Tennis Although this book is called The Tennis Primer, I hope that it will prove of great use to the most expert tennis players, for few of them have a backhand drive. I have herein paid special attention to this branch of the game, for the execution of this stroke is almost a lost art, and there is no reason why it should be so if players will take the trouble to study carefully the photographs given in illustration of this very fine drive.

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.

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 play ers - 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 de voted the first part of the book to biographical sketches of six of the most prominent players in America, to gether with accounts Of all the important tournaments in this country held during 1885 to 1887, inclusive. Following this is an account Of the Renshaw broth ers, together with a description Of the championship matches and principal tournaments Of Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: Its Past, Present, and Future The game presents all the same elements of attack and defence, of finesse and coupe, as does the mimic warfare of the chess-board. It requires severe physical exertion, coupled with activity of mind in constantly thinking out the rapid problems that present them selves during the course of the play; it needs coolness of nerve and eye; and withal it combines the endless variety of a sport in which no two plays are ever exactly the same. Expert skill at the game has steadily advanced for many years, and it seems difficult to pre dict just how much more improvement in the play the future has in store for us.
