Excerpt from Tennis as I Play It What pleases me so much in M. E. Mcloughlin's book on tennis is that he shows the reader what he himself does, not only what ought to be done. His idea of tennis is based on the theory: do what is natural, what is born in you; and I do not believe that anybody who has played the game can deny this being the only rule or maxim that stands with no exceptions.

Excerpt from Tennis as I Play It What pleases me so much in M. E. Mcloughlin's book on tennis is that he shows the reader what he himself does, not only what ought to be done. His idea of tennis is based on the theory: do what is natural, what is born in you; and I do not believe that anybody who has played the game can deny this being the only rule or maxim that stands with no exceptions. People who write books on tennis or try to teach the game seem to get theories into their heads and believe that there is a right way or wrong way for everything, and they try to reorganize your game according to these ideas. This is fatal, and you will notice in the following pages that mcloughlin has no idea of so doing. He admits the fundamental principles of the game, but believes it is what is born in you that must be culti vated and brought to flower. Thus his book is valuable to all players. He does not demand reconstruction to coin cide with some pet theories of his own. He presents you with basic ideas and illustrates his use of them, but he leaves it for you to execute them in your own particular Way.
