Tether Tennis Game This game was originally introduced for the purpose of practising various strokes at Lawn Tennis. It has now developed into a game having special merits of its own. The implements consist of an upright pole standing 9 or 10 feet out of the ground, having a line marked round the pole 6 feet from the ground. Attached to the top of the pole is a piece of cord, at the end of which is fastened a Lawn Tennis ball. A line is drawn on the ground 3 feet from the pole on opposite sides of it. The players stand outside this line, using an ordinary Lawn Tennis racket. The game is to wind the cord, with the ball attached, round the pole and above the line. The game is usually started by tossing for service. The winner then takes the ball in his hand and with the racket drives it round the pole; the opponent stops the progress of the ball and endeavors to drive it back again and round the pole in the opposite direction. The player getting the ball round the pole and above the line, wins the game. A set is usually the best of eleven games. The service may either be taken alternately or continuously until the server loses a game. This game may be played in yards. No. 1. Tether Tennis Ball and Pole ready for play.
