A Low Bouncing Ball to the Backhand The Adair Country Club, under the capable leadership of William Ha.ynes, had entered a. tennis team in the big city tournament. Each of the four clubs was to have four members entered and the winner -of the tournament was to be given a silver loving cup. Of course every tennis enthusiast of the city was intensely in- terested in the tournament, although it was conceded by everybody that Brown, of the Lawn Club, and Randall, of A-dair, would probably meet in the inals. Bob Jones, a youth of nineteen, belonged to the Adair Club and his heart swelled with pride as he watched Randall shoot the ball across the net, one after- noon a week before the big tournament started. The team from Adair consisted of Randall, Sikes, Caply, and J ones. Bob, of course, was J ones. The date set for the beginning of the tournament was August 21st. On the days immediately preceding, the members of the Adair team had practiced long and faithfully. On the 20th a. light practice was held. Bob was in tip top shape and felt that he had never played better in his life. Randall was a little weak on some of his strokes but the club felt sure he would be all right on the morrow. The 21st dawned bright and clear, Bob had an easy opponent in the 'Erst round and breezed through in straight sets. Brown and Randall both won their matches handily and seemed to be in good shape. Bob saw, in looking over the draw, that he was on the easy side. He also noted that Brown and Randall, if both won their matches, would meet in the semi-finals. The second round produced no upsets. Sikes. of Adair, lost to Beck. of Lawn, and Caply to Rice, of Lanard. The third round found Jones and Adair pitted against Lowly, of C-arsong Randall, of Adair, against Blalock, of Lanard, Beck, of Lawn, against Thomas, of Carson, and Brown, of Lawn, against Rice, of Lanard. Bobbie knew lie had a hard man to beat but he noticed that he seemed weak on backhand shots. So he placed the ball on his backhand with the result that he won his match after dropping the first set. Randall, in his match with Blalock, showed the same weakness that he displayed in practice before the tournament, but won- by a. rally in the third set. Brown won his match easily and Thomas defeated Beck. The semi-finals had been reached and found two good matches on hand. Jones was expected to win over Thomas, mainly on account of the strength of his service, while the match between Brown and Randall was a toss up. Jones won the tirst set of the match with Thomas. but lost the second. The third set was hard fought from start to finish, but J ones? service proved too strong and he won at 7-5. His match won, he threw a coat over his shoulders and settled back to watch the match between Brown and Randall. He selected a position at the end of the court where he could best watch Brown's play. The lirst set saw Brown a little weak and this, combined with some lucky shots, resulted in Randall's taking the first set at 'G-4. Br-own turned the tables in the second setand won by the same score.. Bob had noticed however. that Brown seemed unable to play a low bouncing
