Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis as a Game of Skill: With Latest Revised Laws as Played by the Best Clubs Mr. Peile, in treating lawn tennis as a game of skill, seems to me to have written what should be of substantial service to those who care to devote some time and pains to a thorough understanding of the game, and to the improvement of their play; and I am glad to accept the invitation of the publishers to add a few notes suggested by my own experience, and to commend Mr. Peiles book to American tennis players. It is hardly necessary to speak of the rapid progress the game has made in this country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Birth of Lawn Tennis written by Robert T. Everitt and published by Vision Sports Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the English and American tennis historians - Bob Everitt and Richard Hillway, this fine book comes in its own protective leather-covered slip case and is lavishly produced (quarter-bound in leather) with a wealth of new and unpublished illustrations and photographs (over 500) from the authors' own collections. Their research is seamlessly combined to form a tremendous tribute to both the game of lawn tennis and the past, present and future of the renowned All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. This seminal history of the birth of the game and its development over the first four years of its life begins with a detailed study of Major Walter Clopton Wingfield, the inventor. It examines his doubters and rivals, dispelling common myths as it cleverly weaves its way through a chronology of events culminating with a detailed description of the staging of the first Wimbledon Championship in 1877 and the players who took part. This mighty tome has taken authors Bob and Richard twenty years to compile. The depth of their research is breathtaking. Extending to over 570 pages, the book includes biographies of the players and tournament officials, with masses of information on manufacturers, a comparison of the rules, and a time-line of lawn tennis related events. Fully indexed, it will be a book desired by all tennis history loving fans and bibliophiles.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: Its Past, Present, and Future There is none too much literature on the game of lawn tennis, as may be gathered by a glance at the meagre (though complete) bibliography of the game that appears at the end of this work, and there is certainly need for more, since the game can be taught and learned by written instruction nearly as well as by personal direction. There are few capable instructors in America, too, which doubles the need for printed advice. That it requires much learning before one can expect to master it needs no proof. Eustace H. Miles, perhaps the cleverest of all amateur players of court tennis and rackets, expressed the opinion in a recent book that, "Personally, I find lawn tennis far the hardest and most scientific of all ball games that I have tried." Miles's argument is a good one, too, and bears repeating. He believes lawn tennis to be more scientific as well as more severe than similar games played indoors, because the player must always go to the ball, whereas he may wait for it to come to him in any game with side-walls and a back-wall. Lawn tennis is no child's play as the experts play it, and the physical stress of the game makes it somewhat of a tax on one's strength.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods and Players of Modern Lawn Tennis I Have no patience with the players who say: "I do not read books on lawn tennis, and have no use for fine-spun theories." Mediocrity is almost always their portion. Their enjoyment of the game suffers because they neither theorise themselves nor study the theories evolved by others. When, about fifteen years ago, I began to play lawn tennis with some seriousness, my first thought was to secure instruction from the leading writers on the game. To a close study of the rules for rudimentary play laid down by, singularly enough, J. Parmly Paret in the Spalding Guide of that day, I owe, in considerable measure, what small portion of skill I have managed to accumulate. In particular, my possession of a backhand that is passable is due directly to Parct's admonitions on this subject. An understanding of my own needs has taught me what other players need. Furthermore, as publisher of "American Lawn Tennis" I have sold thousands of books on the game, which has made it possible for me to learn what the average player wants in a book. Out of this knowledge grew the determination to produce such a book, and the present volume is the result of that determination. Its title, "Methods and Players of Modem Lawn Tennis," designates it exactly. It deals with methods and players exclusively, and is designed to be a textbook for players desirous of improving their play. That it will accomplish this purpose, if closely and intelligently studied, I am absolutely convinced. I have been profoundly impressed with the success of the efforts the author has made to produce a book that would make a three-fold appeal to the beginner, to the average player and to the expert. The beginner will find in these pages a work that will start him right on the path to proficiency and ground him in the elements of the game. The average player will have before him a textbook that deals exhaustively with the production of strokes and their uses and the employment of proper tactics and generalship on the court. The expert, finally, will discover here much food for thought, no matter how thoroughly he may know the game. The book contains the most wonderful compilation of expert opinions that has ever been made. In laying the structure of the work, a series of over forty questions was drawn up, each dealing with some disputed point of play.
