Have you played squash? , i
Tha game . la comparatively new in
Portland, but Its popularity Is growing
rapidly. - Soma of tha mostexclusi ve
cluba in' tn city have installed courts
and already, leading business and pro
fessional men have become proficient in
the sport .- . -'
. Local devotees of the sport will have
a chance to try their 'skill In a match
gam which is being planned for the
near- future between the B. 'M. A. C.
and . tha Arlington club. : Among . the
members of tha Business Men's Athletic
club who have tried aquash and pro
nounced it "fine." ara. Harry CorbeU,

Tommy Tracey first Introduced
squash in tha Business Men's Athletic
olub. The Arlington "dub then foli
lowed suit, and it is said that the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club will now
take up the game. " v
Squash is the product of the fertile
brain of English court votaries. It is
similar to racquet.-1 In squash the
player' observes the important ; racquet
ruieytnat he must face the side wail
and not the front wall while in play.
It is - also necessary . to play the ball
from a low degree of pitch.
, Correct rom Veoessary.
Correct form is held to be necessary
for the development of an expert play
er. Tha game gives tha player quick
ness of perception, strength of muscle
and wind and agility of body - A good
squash player, it is said, will always be
a, good racquet player.:' Vigilance must
always be exercised in the game. ..The
court is not'very large, consequently a
heavy hit ball will rebound with such
energy that the player must anticipate
its direction to an extent 'and gauge
Its velocity.. , Almost - Invariably the
beginner makes the mistake of taking
hla position too close to the aide or
back walls, thus making It necessary
for him to run out to get the proper
position for the stroke. A loss of poise
and finish ts the result
, Advloe to Beginners.
Frederick B. Toombs, in Spalding'!
Athletic Library, says:
"The lesson for the squash player in
the golfer's stroke, is not in its delib
eration, but rather in the way the face
of his club approaches, strikes and
leaves the ball. - The drlver'a face
swings down to the Una of the ball in
Its recumbent position, a foot say, be
fore It comes In contact with It The
face strikes ' the ball squareIy--ln
well executed stroke and follows it
through until tha. club can be swung
off its line without altering the ball's
course. This maneuver must be exe
cuted in a twinkling of an eye. and
without the slightest premeditation. In
stead of swinging the racquet into the
line of the ball's approach when but a
foot from the spheroid, come Into It
two or three feet before the Impact.
. "Cultivate variety In style of play.
In this manner the opponent will be
kept In an uncertain frame of mind.
Mix the strong and weak strokes ac
cording to your adversary's position.
Let side walls and back wall do their
share of the work, and at times you will
find a well placed cut stroke. Just the
feature needed to win the rally. Learn
that "poetry of motion" may be ex
pressed by the squash stroke. When
correctly performed the stroke la grace
ful in tha extreme. -
, How to Bold Baeqnet.
"In holding your- racquet , In squash
use the racquet grip, Do- not allow It
to wobble In your hand when struck by
a swift ball. Make your grip firm and
secure, but do not pinch the handle so
tightly, as to cramp yourself.: Too tight
