Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Lawn Tennis Player Finally, I have to acknowledge the kindness, exercised I am afraid at some personal inconvenience, of Mr. Norman Brookes and M. Max Decugis, two of the leading players whose strokes Mr. George Beldam's 1n1m1table camera, working at an exposure of fivth fraction of a second, has so graphically delineated. A large number of the seventy action photographs here reproduced were specially taken for thls volume, and I do not doubt they will enhance what success It may achieve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Lawn Tennis Player When this volume was contemplated, three objects were kept in view. The first was to demonstrate the evolution and organisation of a game which, in the short space of thirty years, has claimed more votaries and founded more clubs the world over than any other outdoor pastime in existence. The second was to treat methods of play, their developments and their results, their physiological and their psychological aspects, in such manner that both the beginner and the more experienced might derive some benefit. The third was to entertain, with the traditions and the ana of lawn tennis and with memories of some of its best-known exponents, that large army which wields the racket in many lands. In the more or less didactic chapters, those dealing with strokes in the making, I have received invaluable assistance from the Rev. A. E. Crawley, Headmaster of Derby School, who has made a profound study of their technique and whose practical experience as a player began in the days of Willie Renshaw. The exposition of the principles underlying the American service, its varieties and its complexities, is only one of the contributions in this section for which my acknowledgments to Mr. Crawley are due. These I very gratefully tender. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Lawn Tennis Players: Their Methods Illustrated Perhaps the quickest way to improve at any game is to constantly play with those superior to ourselves possibly the next best thing is to watch the great exponents and failing both of these I venture to think action-photographs are good substitutes. But these only show, in the matter of teaching, what one has trained the eye to see. Yet action-photographs will influence where technical knowledge is lacking. My thanks are due to the various players who so kindly helped me in every way, and also to the all-england Lawn Tennis Club and Queen's Club.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: With a Chapter for Ladies I have followed in my arrangement of the subject-matter the same lines as Dr. Dwight - which, indeed, I think are the only lines compatible with at all systematic treatment. My grateful acknowledgments are due to the many gentlemen who have been kind enough to assist me by communicating their views on the game. For the historical part of the subject, I am mainly indebted to Mr. Henry Jones and Mr. Daniel Jones. Messrs. Carter and Co., the well-known seedsmen, were good enough to place at my disposal much valuable information, of which I regret to say I have only been able to avail myself to a very limited extent. For the omissions and imperfections of this work I apologize: they have partly been caused by the claims of other pursuits more serious even than lawn tennis. But I venture to hope that what I have written may yet prove of some interest to that great and ever-increasing body, the lawn-tennis playing community.
