Beldam, George W., and Vaile, P. A. Great lawn-tennis players. [*]$4. Macmillan.
A book of action photographs illustrating the positions taken by players for particular strokes, with comments by Mr. Vaile, who calls attention to their good or bad points. There is a chapter on “advanced tactics of the single game,” by Mr. E. G. Meers, and one upon “The half-volley,” by Mr. C. A. Caridia.
“Mr. Vaile can play lawn-tennis and can talk about it, but he certainly cannot write. However, Mr. Beldam’s photographs make an excellent album.”

“Valuable contribution to the literature of lawn tennis. The lawn tennis reader will find, therefore, much to think over in these pages, and particular attention is drawn to the first chapter, in which the racket, per se, and the methods of holding it are discussed.”
