I There is much of Jean Borotra’s I frame which is entirely individual and a which it were futile to attempt;.; to teach (says an English'paper, in some comment on the famous French 1 lawn tennis * player’s game on covered courts). Strangely enough, from his much-discussed service a useful; lesson may he-.learned—not the' first service, but the second. Borotra. takes pains to cut this service when playing on wood and also hits it when it is slightly in front of him'. \ No great pace is necessary, but the service is disconcerting nevertheless. It keeps low (thanks to being hit in front of the server) and breaks away to .the forehand. Behind this delivery Borotra often rushes for the net. . The receiver can drive across court (the obvious retort), down the line (difficult because the service keeps so low), or. lob,..and what is the. use of a lob against Borotra 55 This service is extremely useful; it calls for little effort, denies the other side the initiative, and leaves., the server free to call the tune. Many British golfers are expressing regret that at its recent annual meeting the Royal and Ancient Club did not announce its expected new definition of what constitutes an amateur player. It is commeted that there are posing as amateurs all sorts of people who, because of their skill, are making ni living out of the game. -;. i iiim iiuiiimiini mnil mi mm immimiiiimn.mil mini lit ipiM
