In foot faults whieh becomes evident year after year and the difficulty of properly interpreting the rule so that It will only prevent Illegal deliveries and work no other hardship one must' be struck with the Imperfection of any law which leaves so much to the discretion of the linesman Ah the rule now reads— and many players do not even know it—"the server shall before commencing to serve stand with both feet at rest- on the ground behind (is further from the net) the base line and within the 'limits of continuation of the sideline and the half court line and thereafter the server: shall- not walk run jump or hop until the ball has :been: delivered but the server may raise on foot from (and if desired replace It on) the ground provided that both feet are kept behind the base line until the service has been delivered" This is the rule as we have It now with a reading a!of the about raising and replacing foot which says "Either foot maybe raised and replaced provided that nothing is done which could be construed Into a step" It seems perfectly simple but in practice It works out as too complicated for a successful Interpretation by the average player So complicated Is it that the writer eaw a tournament player aud a good jflayer at that making three distinct forms of foot fault at once every time he served Tnere have been a multitude of remedies suggested from abandoning the first service altogether to allowing any kind of delivery providing the feet were kept behind the line but none of these have met with much support The fault In the rule as we have it at present lies In the fact that it is enforceable only by a great amount of labor and when its operation' is in the bands of picked men whose number is necessarily limited The vastof players cannot or will not majority and enforce act as judges the law and If ali unknown called a foot fault on a well' known player he would be mobbed hy half the audience no matter how well qualified he really was This condition arises from the fact that the rank and file of the players are not1 truly conscious of the unfairness of foot faulting nor do they correctly recognize them when they see them and mainly under the present law a foot fault and a fair hall ‘may be so very closely allied there may be so infinitely small difference between them and yetthe punishment is—the most' drastic in the whole 'game the absolute debarment of the ball and point Hence perhaps the loss of the few men have the nerve to enforce what may In fact must be their own personal opinion at a critical moment in the match Hence it is that the made by no less a player suggestion than W A Larned the seven times champion that the first foot fault shall be called a "let" is meeting with so much favor Mr Larned suggests that a further foot fault in the same service point shall In the opinion of the umpire be called a fault This suggestion of the champion would answer several purposes In the first place It would not entail loss of the point to the server second it would serve as a warning (such warning as now given being distinctly illegal) thirdly if persisted in it would bring Its own punishments and finally It would allow the more timid umpire to say what he thinks without the thought that his mistake would unduly penalize the server and hence make him more efficient' The foot fault rule was made not In any way to penalize the server or pre vent him sending in any serve as swift 'or as difficult to handle as he could make it but only to make him deliver the ball fairly and in accordance with the rules It was meant to protect the striker from having to return unfair services with the preponderance of advantage they give the server not to give him points by default on a technical error- The Larned suggestion would fulfill all these ideas The need not be foot fault called returned and neither side would be any the worse off after the calling but the server would know that a repetition on his part would call for a fault on vthe next dfellvery- and ' so prevent him going on trying ' serve after serve in the hopes of getting one by But after all the principal good would be In "making the punishment fit the crime" by?
