Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: Its Past, Present, and Future There is none too much literature on the game of lawn tennis, as may be gathered by a glance at the meagre (though complete) bibliography of the game that appears at the end of this work, and there is certainly need for more, since the game can be taught and learned by written instruction nearly as well as by personal direction. There are few capable instructors in America, too, which doubles the need for printed advice. That it requires much learning before one can expect to master it needs no proof. Eustace H. Miles, perhaps the cleverest of all amateur players of court tennis and rackets, expressed the opinion in a recent book that, "Personally, I find lawn tennis far the hardest and most scientific of all ball games that I have tried." Miles's argument is a good one, too, and bears repeating. He believes lawn tennis to be more scientific as well as more severe than similar games played indoors, because the player must always go to the ball, whereas he may wait for it to come to him in any game with side-walls and a back-wall. Lawn tennis is no child's play as the experts play it, and the physical stress of the game makes it somewhat of a tax on one's strength.
