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.

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 How to Play Lawn Tennis written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play Lawn Tennis: Containing Pracitical Instruction From an Expert Lawn tennis is played by two, three or four people (though very seldom by three) on a smooth stretch of ground called a court. The playing surface of this court is 27 feet (for singles), or 36 feet (for doubles) in width and 78 feet in length, and it is laid out on a level surface of grass or turf, or occasion ally on a board floor under a covered roof in winter. The court is marked out with white lines on the ground indicating the boundaries, and the space is divided in two by a net three feet in height stretched across the centre from side to side. Each player is armed with a racket. Which is a wooden frame about a foot long and eight inches wide, the oval open space being covered with a fine network of catgut strings, and the frame supplied with a handle about 15 inches long. With this racket the players strike a ball 2% inches in diameter, of rubber filled with compressed air and covered with felt. This ball is knocked from one side of the net to the other back and forth until one side misses it - that is, fails to hit it at all, or knocks it into the net, or out of the court. Either side scores a point when the opponent. Fails to return the ball into his court. The object of the game, therefore, is to knock the ball into the opponent's court so that he cannot return it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outdoor Sports and Pastimes: Correct Rules for Lawn Tennis, Croquet, and Base Ball The game of Tennis is one of the ancient pastimes of England, and it was a favorite game with royalty from ancient times down to the present. But the Tennis of that day is not the Lawn Tennis of the nineteenth century, the latter really being a sort of return to the pristine days of the game when it was played out of doors in a very crude way; and therefore we need not lefer to the old game of Tennis further than to state that it was a far more di icult game to play than is modern Tennis. It is not necessary tofrefer at length to the origin of the modern game, beyond stating the fact that it came into favor as a lawn substitute for the old court game; and from its introduction has won its way to a popularity unprecedented almost in the history of field games of ball. As, for its brief history in America, it may be said that no game has been introduced in this country from England which has achieved such rapid favor in fashionable circles of American society as the game of Lawn Tennis. It is now the pet society game at all the watering places and at every fashionable summer resort in the country. Besides which, it is the only all - the-year-round game of ball now in vogue; for when the summer lawn is covered with snow, in-door Tennis is at command in any moderately-sized. Andsmoothly-fioored hall. While Lawn Tennis is a special favorite with those who cannot excel in any game requiring any special attribute of physical courage, owing to the fact that every phase of danger is eliminated from the game, it is also popular with those who are expert in such manly sports as base ball, cricket, lacrosse and football, from the fact that it necessitateslitheness of limb and activity of movement, besides affording a field for stragetic skill when the game is played up'to its highest point, which is quite enjoyable by way of contrast in present ing a light exercise, differing greatly from the vigorous and somewhat danger ous exercises of the other games. Then, too, Lawn Tennis is an excellent field game of ball for ladies, as it affords them the very kind of exercise they most need, and that is out door activity, which will bring the dormant muscles of the limbs and the chest into play. There is an additional recommendation, too, for Lawn Tennis, and that is that it can be played on a comparatively small space of level ground, or on a hall floor. There is one thing about Lawn Tennis playing, as in vogue in general society, which makes it exceptional, and that is, in no field game now enjoying popular favor, are the amenities of social life so particularly observed. The game is one that has come to stay, as it fills a void which has existed a long while, and that 18, the want of a game in which ladies and gentlemen can participate, while at the same time plenty of active and not too vigorous exercise can be afforded for both, and that, too, Without any element of danger to mar the pleasure of its enjoyment.
