DORAN COMPANY PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA APR -I 1921 _ ©CLA611413 « To E. D. K AND M. W. J. MY "BUDDIES" W. T. T. n INTRODUCTION Tennis is at once an art and a science. The game as played by such men as Norman E. Brookes, the late Anthony Wilding, William M. Johnston, and R. N. Williams is art. Yet like all true art, it has its basis in scientific methods that must be learned and learned thoroughly for a foundation before the artistic structure of a great tennis game can be con- structed. Every player who helps to attain a high degree of efficiency should have a clearly defined method of development and adhere to it. He should be certain that it is based on sound principles and, once assured of that, follow it, even though his progress seems slow and discouraging. I began tennis wrong. My strokes were wrong and my viewpoint clouded. I had no early training such as many of our American boys have at the pres- ent time. No one told me the importance of the fundamentals of the game, such as keeping the eye on the ball or correct body position and footwork.

  • Privilege in Tennis and Lawn Tennis: the Geelong and Royal South Yarra Examples but Not Forgetting the Story of the Farmer’S Wrist
    PRIVILEGE IN TENNIS AND LAWN TENNIS: THE GEELONG AND ROYAL SOUTH YARRA EXAMPLES BUT NOT FORGETTING THE STORY OF THE FARMER’S WRIST GRAEME KINROSS SMITH DEAKIN UNIVERSITY I It is the season. That strange game called lawn tennis in- filtrated the Australian colonies in the mid 1870s when the wealthy, in emulation of English cousins,rigged nets in their city gardens or in the grounds of their country estates and invited long skirted ladies and men in cummerbunds, white shirts, and formal ties to tennis parties. The flight of the balls over nets five feet or more from the ground was demure and accompanied by giggles, gasps and gentlemanly shouts. By the 188Os, those whose enjoyment of these physical dashes required for its satisfaction something more codified in the way of a game were beginning to establish clubs for players of like mind. Their endeavours were guided by the All England Croquet Club at Wimbledon which had incorporated the words Lawn Tennis in-its title, in 1877,and which staged its first Gentlemen's Singles Championship under rules which modified those of the modern game's inventor,Major Wingfield,and allowed for a net still five feet high at the posts,a rectangular court rather than Wingfield's hour glass, and the modern system of scoring. That all occurred about a century ago. So it is the season- for celebrating the birth of the game, for taking stock, for writing the centenary histories of Australia's earliest tennis clubs. In 1878, the Melbourne Cricket Club added an asphalt court and a tennis club as an adjunct to cricket,and laid a grass court in 1880.

  • Bill Tildens Performances of the Unruly Male Body
    Taking Punishment Gladly; Bill Tildens Performances of the Unruly Male Body N a t h a n T i t m a n * American Studies University o f Iowa Although historians have read the athleticism o f seven-time national tennis cham­ pion Bill Tilden as a cover for his sexual identity, his playing style was very much a product o f his existence outside normative gender expectations in the 1920s. Tennis allowed Tilden to engage in the homosocial amateur sporting code o f upper-class Northeastemers— establishing psychological intimacy with playing partners, opponents, andprotégés— while also adapting the more “roughneck” and varied techniques o f working-class Californian players into a style that observers celebrated for both its power and its beauty Tilden defied contempo­ rary expectations that bourgeois white men should eventually limit their partici­ pation in leisure and settle down with marriage and stable capitalist produc­ tion, while using athletic movement to bridge gentler categories in the creation o f his own “artistic” self-expression. I n t h e 1920s, Bill Tilden became tennis’ version of a sport celebrity.

Sports enthusiasts who enjoyed more leisure time and expendable income after World War I craved appealing champion athletes, and Tilden joined the ranks of Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, and Red Grange as one of the leading protagonists in the “Golden Age of Sport.”1 However, despite his dominant play and— compared to previous tennis champions— unrivaled celebrity, his arrests in 1946 and 1949 for morals violations with underage boys ultimately rendered him a pariah in the sport, a tragic figure whose sexual proclivities sullied his athletic successes.
