Excerpt from Lawn Tennis Lessons For those who know nothing of the game, there fore, it will be necessary to furnish a brief intro duction. The rules themselves, the measure ments of the court and such other details will be found in the last pages of this volume, but these do not actually tell one how to play the game. Briefly then, lawn tennis is played by two, three or four persons divided into teams, with one or two on each side of the net which separates the contestants. The play is called singles if only one player appears on each side and doubles if two are on each side. Occasionally two players oppose one, and then the lines of the court for singles are used on the Side with one player and the wider court for doubles is used by the side with two players.
