Excerpt from Modern Tennis
Mr. P. A. Vaile has asked me to introduce his book on Tennis to amateur players of this delightful game.
I will do it simply and without any pretense to style, for I must confess that I feel much more at home with a racket in my hand than with a pen between my fingers.
I do not know whether you have noticed how few and far between are the books on games that really deserve the name and that treat authoritatively and in a competent manner the various rules governing the particular game under discussion. As a rule, one encounters no more than the enthusiastic descriptions of amateurs, sincere enough, doubtless, in themselves, but lacking the technical knowledge that is absolutely indispensable if the presentation of the subject is to be at all convincing. Or again, one happens upon long scientific treatises by experts who, with the figures at their fingers' ends, give one the trajectory described in space, for instance, by a football, or, in the case of a quoit hurled by a strong effort, curves of exceptional accuracy but practically no value as creators of enthusiasm. It is rarely, indeed, that we get the practical side of things, which alone really interests the player.
