tennis tni»t»k#

■ST SCI lime lor the tennis sesso'n ■ :o U*!n. anS 1 WE» down on the ■ court* 4.11 alone, swinging my I racquet as though I'd Ilka t? have somebody to play with. 1 couldn't bring anybody with me. because 1 was a new fellow In town and didn't know even who the fellows were who passed me on the way to achool. 1 had Just swung at a hall. Intending to hit It straight up Into the sir. hut the hall hit on ths wood of the racquet and went at a eras? a* 1 * 1 * " xrT Into a pile of dry leave. Just then n hoy about my own age turned the corner and saw roe. If. all right to make a aerlous ke that when when anybodyj sees yon. It's different. ■'ll must be the racquet.” X ***&■'

laughing.

Bud—I found out later what his name was—looked at roe hind. He has told me since that he really liked my looks, but that he wasdisgusted becau-e 1 tried to make excuse s. Anybody was liable to hit the wood. Moreover. 1 made It wor*e by saying something else. "It's pretty hard to bit a ball straight up into the air. Did you aver try it?” i • Well." said Bud. and I guess I won't forget In a hurry how he nld It. ''I've been playing tennis now for four years and I guess I've hit a ball 'most every way one can

be hit."

"That's great." I said, like a fool stamping In where an angel would fear to go on tip-toe. ' Maybe you ; would like to have : little game?" T don't believe I’d cars to." answered Bud. The way he said It got roe mad _ ••What s ths matter—‘fraId ?" •■j guess not. 1 was tennis chain- , plon here last summer and I have j to be careful who I play with. ; These early games ruin a fellow's j style, unless he gets an exceptional- • ly good partner " •That's tight.'' I sail, getting a little sense t,y this time. "But I 11 bst s few over with you. If you want. The practice will do me good.” "Don't bother." 1 said, a little garcastlr. I guesa. "Mayba I won't return them Just right and you'll lose your strokes." Til take that rhance." go hs unbuttoned his csss and

took out a racquet- Ws lined up on opposite sides of the net and stood there glaring at each other os though both of us wars there against our wills. He began the play. His first serve was an easy one. a* though he wanted to he Hire on account of me not knowing much about the game. But 1 drove hard on the hall with my racquet, put a little lift on It and placed s slsser right

at his feet.

He was too surprieed even to "Lucky shot.” he said. It wasn't so lucky. I could do It again, anytime. But I didn't tell

him that.

"It must be my new flannel trousers,” I said, laughln*. It was my turn to serve. Bo I put a good one over and then ran up to the net so I would he In a good position to return Bud's play. lucky I did. He caught my serve on the bounce and drove It clean over the net heading for a spot In the back court that I would never have reached had X stayed back. As it wax. I caught It nicely and deflected it back to Bud's side

of the net.

Uke a flash of llgatnlng he eras across the court, and with the prettiest low backhand I ever saw. he sent the ball whining to my side of the court. It was me who was surprised that time. T forgot all about him being such a high-hat fellow. "Nice work." I called but. "Not so bad.” he admitted. Nor was that all hs admitted. '# batted the ball hack and forth

about ten minutes of practice. Bud blurted out: "Well. I guess the only army X can convince you la to play you a set and beat you.” .

Bo we started in Just as wi before, only this time are kept a score. Bud must have expected to win. because I could aee he didn't Oka me winning the first three games straight. Then he began to play hard. That changed the score a little, and once It looked as though he would win the set. but a lucky break In the last game gave me the advantage and I won, six to tour. "May again?” 1 asked. J was beginning to Uke Bud. His playing was great. "I don't beliete I wUlhs said. Tm not in such good form today.” Cmon," I pleaded. “Tour playing Isn't so lad. seeing It's the first game of the season.” At About this time, something hapiwned to Bud. We wouldn't have been' friends unless It had. He came up to the net. and with a different look In bis eyes, ba held out his hand snd said: "Tout playing Isn't so bad either. I'm sorry 1 acted so mean.” 'That's all tight." I said. "But don't feel ro badly about being beaten. This might be your first game this yesr. but It Isn't mine. I've be»n In Florida all winter sod not a day went by that didn't see me down on the tennis courts." "Well." admltte 5 Bud. with a grin. T've Just got back from California myselt and I've been playing all winter Just like you have." 'That accounts for the peachy serve you've got." I told him. "And your back-band:" be replied. "I'll have to gel you to show
