TUB net nttacjc Is tho big oucnsivc
of tennis. It Is the method of crush
ing the other man's defense. It Is the
polnt-wlnnlns position. The net attack
Is mode up of the volley nnd overhead
iniHi Tl.o two Rhots nrc both made
before the hall strikes the ground.
Tho Volley ...
TIip vollcv shot Is made by meeting
the ball. In Its flight on a hitting plane
between the. head and the ground and
Mocking It. The volley Is not a stroke.
Inthc wnw that It carries a follow
through. The racket travels along the
line of ""Wit of the boll and blocks it
"It. .i...Mi.f! Imnnct. The racket
head stops at this moment, thus "smack
In" the ball sharply and forcing It
.n U--1. .ud n rlnMatvn trtrno
The volley Is made with a stiff wrist
Jnd a flat racket face. The "stop" or
short volley Is made In the same man
ntr but the racket head passes slightly
unior the boll at the moment of strik
ing It.
The (herhcad Smash
This shot should always be hit hard
tilth a full-arm swing, slightly loosened
wrist to Import snap to tho blow, and
should be made from as high n point as
ton be comfortably reached by tho arm.
Model your overhead on your service,
since Rcrvlro should be a natural, relia
ble shot. Do not strike to Impart pecu
liar spins to overhead shots, but hit
them clean ond with nn almost flat
racket face.
The net attack should always bo of
fcnsUe. Never defend the ball at the
net, but strive to win the point at once.
Placement Is .more necessary than speed
on the volley, while speed Is tho essen
tial clement of the overhead.
A successful net game depends largely
on th knowledge of court position pos
sessed, by the player launching the at
tack. The rules of o net position are
tlmple.

First. Play about eight to ten feet
from the net.
Second. Follow the ball at all times,
and remain Just to the center side of the
straight return of tho ball. In explana
tion, should your return that you follow
to the net go to your forehand sideline,
you should follow in to the forehand
side of your cburt eight or ten feet
from the net. Suppose your next volley
Is cross court to the opposite sideline,
do not remain in midcourt, buffollow
thc'bnll to the opposite sideline to cover
the straight shot.
Third. Physically, cover the straight
shot at all times, and mentally, watch
the cross-court shot.
Fourth. Always follow your Rcnsc of
anticipation by going where your in
tuition tells you the return Is coming.
In other words, play your hunch, since
you can lose nothing by it and may out
guess your opponent.
Fifth. Never stay between the base
line and servico line,
Sixth. Never half volley (pick up)
when you can volley the ball on the
full.
Scrcnth. Hit all overheads that arc
Inside the service line with the idea
of winning the point with that par
ticular shot. In other words, "shoot
to kill."
Eighth. Defend deep lobi by playing
them back deep nnd awnltlng your next
chance.
The net game is the ultimate game
In tennis. A player, to succeed in
modern tennis, must go to the net. He
cannot get there unless he has a ground
game to open his way.
The days of the net attack alone
arc passed. M. 10. McTiOiighllu, O. M.

at its highest peak of development. My

"Chick" Evans and Max Mars
ton 2 Up on Vardon and
Ray at Tenth
By SANDY McNIDLICK ,
Charles "Chick" Evans, amateur
golf champion of America, and Max
Mnrston, local amateur crack, were 2
up on Ted Ray nnd Harry Vardon,
Kngllsh stars, nt the tenth hole today
In their best-ball match over the links
of the Merlon Golf Club.

first tee, the best of the four, but Mar
ston was closest to tho pin with his
second. Halved In -Is. Evans wns in
tho sand to tho second nnd dropped a
long shot from there with a brasle.
Ray was just ahead on the bank untl
ployed a safe out, drawing applause as
t ho crashed Into a long brassle. Vardon
was on In four, the same ns Ray, and
the Americans went 1 up when Mnr
ston and Evans both got their par fives.
Vardon was trapped nt the third,
Mnrston to the rouph and Evans just
on the corner of thegreen. Ray wns In
the hay.
Vnrdon missed his second, but Ruj
chipped eloso enough to sink from his
hard He for a half with Evans. Vardon
hit n perfect iron from a hard approach
to the fourth, Marston catching the
rough on thoMlft, but chipped so well
that ho came In On n triple half.iVnrdou
taking three putts.
Evans nnd Vardon played their third
through tho fifth at tho samo tlmo, and
the crowd applauded loudly ts both
landed the green: Evans stopped
fairly two feet from tho pin, hut ho
failed to sink tho putt, laughliig bh
usual, when he missed. Hnlf ull
around in 5,
Marston got n hard He on n bunker
bank with his drive to the sixth, ami
mm in piay out, snort, Kvnns was
short of the green, the same as Vnrdon,
who sank his putt, but Evans missed.
Ray was conceded n three as Vardon
had u four to the American's five. All
square.
All got the short seven, Iluy away,
Evans being the closest after n tine
spoou. Vnrdon putted next, missed,
Marston next, missed, and it was up
to Evans agnln. Hu finally hooked ouc,
a bhd two, American one up. Evans
was right on the pin to tho eighth with
his lion. Murston from the rough wns
short in a'trap, but his out was nicely
on. The long putt dropped right on the
left of the cup. Everybody in the hole
hod another chance for a bird' win, but
booted the mitt in his Inimitable wav.
t Halved.
Roy alone was off the short ninth,
trapped, and too strnmr nuts. Marston
took three putts, Vardon was conceded
Ills put for a threo and Evans made :i
short one for n half. Evans wns out In

American ono un nt the third.
Ray got n trap i front of the green nt
tho tenth, Mnrston and Evans gottiiu'
tho green by n kick off the guarding
banks. They narrowly missed their ap
proueh putts but won tho hole In l's
wncn liny missed from bix lect. Ameer
lean two up.
A big crowd gathered early at the
first teo hi anticipation of this clash
between Evans niid Ray, who won the
American open title by u stroke nt To
ledo. Ray and Vnrdon deserve the plaudits
of the multitude, bordering on fifty
years of age, Vardon is more than
that, Ray closo to forty-three. They
are at tho fag end of nhout seventy
days of thirty-six holes per diem, in
cluding all-uight jumps between niuuy
of them, all over the country.
It would have been difficult for
Merlon to have gotten together a better
match than that which was staged to
day. from a Philadelphia standpoint.
Hundreds in the gallery today saw
that thirty-six holo match whn Evans,
then the open United States champion,
met Rob Qnrdener, then the amateur
champion. Evans was tho astounding
golfer then that he was at tho Engin
eers when ho beat off Francis Oultuct

Out in One Strohe
Boston, Sept. 23. Francis Oulmct
who, ns boy and man, has accom
plished nearly everything posslblo lu
golf, won happy today In the realiza
tion of the ambition of all golfers.
Ho holed out in one.
Playing on the links of tho Com
monwealth Country Club, he drove
off with n midiron from the third
tee, with the hole 21.T yards away.
The hall sped true, rolled to the ilag
htlck aud dropped Into the cup. It
was the first time he had holed out in
a single stroke.
ccllcnt Iron-player, wns given tho mar
gin to win on two circumstances.
First, Evuns has never had quite the
punch to win the nmatcur having n
very dubious record tip to that time
in nntional championships against the
amateurs.
Second, Gardner was considered the
be'st putter in the country, Chick the
"worst," nmoug the Htars. Rut In
that historic match Evans actually out
nutted Gardner nnd in the final nnnlv-
sls it was almost apparent that Evans
won the match because of his superior
wont on many greens.
There was the same margin In favor
of Oulmct this year as favored Gurd
ner to win at 1010, but Evans nguln
upset the statistics by showing cold
nerve, and n firm putt ut every decisive
moment.
Philodelphlans therefore turned out
almost as much to sec Evans today as
they did to see the great Rrltlshcrs,
Vnrdon and Ray.
Marston in there gavo just the
proper Philadelphia touch to the play.
Ho is Merlon's bright and particular
star, as well as a topnotchcr of the
district, though he cannot he ranked
at the very top because of his absence
from nearly all the tournaments of tho
district this yenr. '
Marston was a semifinalist in the
national one year, n mlihod two -foot
putt being all that kept him out of the
finals aud that margin alone conceded
by most to be oil that kept him from
being -n national chnmpiou, for there
were few ut that meeting who did
not think that he could not have won
against Johnny Anderson, whom lie
would have faced, the way Maiston
wns going.

This city has never witnessed such a
rowing celebration since George Wash
ington crossed the Delaware ns it did
last night In the Falls of Schuylkill,
where nt least 10,000 enthusiastic per
ons greeted Jack Kelly nnd Paul Cos
tello on their return from Belgium after
winning International horfors with their
oars. . ., ,
"Kelt" nnd "Cos" literally owned
tho Falls, which wns set ablaze-with fire
of red nnd green. The court of honor
extended from North Philadelphia to the
Riviera, where a feast of welcome was
enjoyed by 500 Rented ndmlrcrs of the
world's champions. "
The parnde was headed by tho Kast
Falls Racquet Club numbering COO men.
Francis I-nlly and "Paddy1 Nellnn
lead the march with Clouth's Rand.
Ivan Crook's was marshal with George
Flloon ns assistant.
Tho affair for the most part was for
Kelly. Mrs. Mary Kelly, mother of
the victor over Rcr'sford. tho Ilriton.
held the nrm of the admirable champion :
his sister Elizabeth shnred the family
pride; Patrick and Walter C. Kelly,
the "Virginia Judge," paved the wav
through a dense crowd; Father David
F. Kelly, assistant rector of .St.
Bridget's Church, handled the reception
committee, nnd Hilly Kelly, of Boston,
who became Jack's pnl overseas during
the war, drove the touring car that
conveyed the famous sculler nnd his

of tho Falls:
Reprcsentatlves of the Holy Name

of the Falls of Schuylkill, marched like
noble soldiers In pnrade behind the train
of automobiles. Any person who was
nhle to walk got n glimpse of Kelly nnd
Costello, appearing in the picture oi
health.
One of the chief boosters of the eve
ning was Ivan Crooks, who has been a
buddy of the victorious Kelly and Cousin
Costello since boyhood days. Crooks
was with Kelly in France nnd, like a I
thousand nnd one others, felt certain
that the pnlr would beat the best In the
