LIABLE TO FOOTFAULT.
• 1 Foot fan Ring has lost many a match, and it is a habit Quist must avoid, for 1 know from experience tlint if he plays an iinportatit match in America—and that 'is more than a possibility —bU footfault breaches will be called with alacrity, stales Harry Itopman. In 'most European countries the administration of the footfault rule is slack, and ninny leading players, particularly of France, have met with endless trouble over footfaultitig on their first acquaintance with the strict American interpretation of the rule. I was not surprised when Adrian was footfaulted during his match which gave him Jack Crawford's Victorian title. Quirt is known in many »tonnis playing countries for his speed ill getting to the net. and occasionally his swinging foot goes over the lme befove, and stays over when the service is delivered.
