Tennis — It’s All in the Game
This is a pastime full of fun
And makes the players jump and run;
But when the ladies “serve” “love all”,
Some fellows’ hearts begin to crawl.
—Harrison.

Tilden or Jay Gould championship quality; just as it will some day take one of its Miss Slowes or Miss Channels and bloom her into a Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory top-rung record holder.
