TENNIS.
The greatest - tennis player the world has ever seep was the late H. L. Doherty, and one day one of his American admirers wrote asking him what was the secret of his numerous successes. It is stated that the great little man’s reply was as fallows: ’’Getting the ball over the net oftener than the other fellow.” A Dunedin man recently returned from America says he is not surpris-i ed that the United States holds the Davis Cup. In almost, every city there are free municipal tennis courts, and the facilities for taking part in the game are so great that a big proportion of the young people go .in for it and become good, players. The same, to a certain extent, applies to golf, for while there are, as in other countries, "exclusive” clubs, plenty 'of links exist upon which the average man and woman may get a game at any time and at a reasonable cost.
