Her overhead is nil, her volleying is mediocre; but her marvellous forehand and backhand drives, coupled with the wonderful court-covering ability and fighting spirit that have made her world-famous, allow her to rise above the inherent weaknesses of those portions of her game and defeat in one season all the greatest players in the world, including Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen. Mrs.
It should always be held firmly and as near the end as possible, the leather butt being inside the hand. A loose grip will absolutely prevent a player from becoming expert, as the accuracy and quickness that are a part of tennis can never be obtained unless we have the racket under perfect control. The various backhand, high and low strokes will only come from constant practice.
And across the face of the expensive, cream-colored linen paper was written, in that same pretty, very legible backhand: TO BE OPENED IN CASE OF MY DEATH JAUNITA LEIGH SELIM His heart hammering painfully, and his fingers trembling, Dundee drew out the two close-written sheets of creamy notepaper. After all, who had better right than he to open it?
But there was a stub that interested him. Check No. 17 Nita had spent her money lavishly was filled in as follows, in Nita's pretty backhand: No. 17 $9,000 May 9, 1930 To Trust Dept. For Investment Had John C. Drake, who as vice president in charge of trusts and investments had doubtless handled the check, wondered at all where the $9,000 had come from?
Full swing, top spin drives fore- and backhand, straight or 'cross court, are hit with equal facility. The Lowes volley defensively and only come in to the let when pulled in by a short shot. Their overhead work is average. Their games are not startling. There is nothing to require much comment.
"Could be you were handy and they had some kind of a hint to start a ruckus just to show there ain’t any proper law here. Could be that they knew you ride for Hunt and that made you just the game they wanted." "Helms’s kinda dumb to play any cute game," Nye protested. "An’ th’ sarge, he’s always been a good guy, I don’t see him bitin’ happy on any such backhand orders." "Not orders, no.
"It says 'Leave ten dollars in this same place to-night, or Mrs. Eustice shall hear of this. And, of course," concluded Libbie, "I put ten dollars in the bottle, because whoever found it had the slip with my name on it to show Mrs. Eustice." Betty studied the paper. The handwriting was a strong backhand, not at all an illiterate hand. "Oh, dear, what shall I do?" wailed Libbie.
Mary Browne has the best produced tennis game of any American woman. It is almost if not quite the equal in stroke technique of Suzanne Lenglen. She has a fast flat service. Her ground strokes are clean, flat drives forehand and backhand. She volleys exactly like Billy Johnston. No praise can be higher. Her overhead is decisive but erratic.
He hits it with a short sharp snap of his arm that imparts great speed and yet hides the direction. His backhand is defensive. His volleying clever, accurate but soft. His overhand severe and reliable. His service flat, fast and dangerous. He needs finesse, experience and season, with which he may well become one of the greatest players as the fundamental potentialities are there.
"Oh, la la!" The other snapped his fingers, and reverting to his native tongue, finished his sentence wildly. "You cad!" Heywood advanced in long strides deliberately, as if gathering momentum for a collision. Before his blow could fall, he was sent spinning. Rudolph, his cheeks on fire, darted past and dealt, full force, a clumsy backhand sweep of the arm.
