TENNIS LESSONS.
MUST HIT HARD. LONDON, July 12. Discussin" the lessons of the Wimbledon tournament, the "Times" lawn tennis expert' says: "The moral was that to win bi-» matches you must have pluck and hit hard as well. Patterson lost the doubles largely because he was making a fetish of the hard hit. It became to him not a means, but an end. He would try something final with a difficult ball and just fail, then hit harder at a more difficult ball and fail again. The lessons did not tell us much that we did not know before. The principles remain constant.
