The baggage car rolled down an embank- ment and the car following was de- railed. None of theinjured is in a serious condition. Passengers were transferred at the scene of the wreck, the cause of which has not been de- termined. The train was speeding about thirty-six miles an hour when En- gineer C. H. Holmes of Waterbury saw a switch half open. He applied bis air brakes at once, but it was too | late. The engine bumped over the alls for about 400 feet and then toppled down a slight embankment, followed by the baggage car. The two coaches immediately following were partly derailed, but the last two cars remained on the track. Passengers Thrown About. The passengers were thrown about the coaches, but most of the injuries consisted of cuts and abrasions. Phy- sicians from Waterbury attended the injured, and all but one were able to go to their homes or continue their journey.

LeWitt's B Foot Faultingan “Ev FOR five years the question of foot, faulting has received well war- ranted publicity. It is a phase of ten- nis to which much thought has been devoted with the idea of sugg. possible remedy, exists to a woeful extent. During the progress of tournaments throughout the country one is constantly con- fronted by the lack of caution in this regard by those who profess to be authorities. In important matches it frequently happens that the outcome rests upon the judge's idea of what constitutes foot fault. Not that the ruling is am- biguous in its phraseology, but rather because foot fault judges vary in their opinion as to whether certain players do or do not habitually violate the law. At Forest Hills, N. Y., last September foot faulting was so prevalent that the subject became a cause of great an- noyanee to the committee in charge of the national championship. The ruling is expressed clearly. Nobody with the slightest degree of intelligence could misinterpret the meaning. Briefly, it demands that a player must keep one foot firmly implanted on the ground behind the base line and that neither foot shall cross the service line before the ball is hit. The present day revolution in the | style of service is responsible for it all. This was ushered in by the Califor- nians in 1909, when the highly special- | lzed twist services were first intro- | duced. The object of the twist service is to | permit of a close cover of the net posi- | tion, with the likelihood of an easy kill | il” In Tennis Events] ing faults or for his strict adhering to | the ruling. The foot fault rule was originated through the desire of the tennis execu- | tives to minimize the already gr: advantage the server has over the r ceiver. A server, if allowed to follow his delivery to the net regardless of a violation of foot fault principles, would seldom drop his service. The| advantage of a strong net position is well known to the tournament player. A foot fault is a violation of a rule| and should command rigid punishment. | The man who foot faults knowingly is just as culpable as the man who calls | a ball of his opponent out when he| secretly knows it hit within bounds. Unless a ruling is drawn up by the national association which will tend to keep a player back from the base line there will continue to be many flagrant violations of the present law. A pos- sible solution for their elimination by the framing of a new act was suggest- ed by the style of the late Anthony F. Wilding in action Guring his sojourn in this country, while competing with the Australasian team for possession of the Davis cup. While serving, the great New Zea- lander stood at least a foot behind the base line, thus allowing him ample room for the swing of his right foot before it reached the court. A player like Williams would not have to stand back so far, because he hits the serv- ice ball behind his head. But if a standard line or lines could be drawn behind the base line for the server to gauge the distance which his right foot must pass over before violating the | champlonship. According to some golf HARM GOLFER’S SWING?| HE fact that Maurice E. McLough- lin and William M. Johnston, na- tional tennis experts, have taken up golf lends interest to the often heard theory that tennis playing tends to hurt a golfer's game by making the right hand too prominent in the exe- cution of the long shots with disas- trous results. Follows Tennis With Golf. Miss Elinor Gates, the Long Island | golfer, who figured so conspicuously in the recent women's golf tournament at Pinehurst, followed up her golf tourna- ment work by entering the tennis theorists, this work on the courts will injure her links game and may prevent her from takin~ the rank in the spring golf tournaments in the metropolitan district that perhaps she might other- wise attain, Theory May Get Jolt. If the California “comet” and the ten- nis champion develop into as high class wielders of the driver and cleek as they are handlers of the racket, they will ive the theory ahout “too much right hand” a jolt. A very good golfer has been developed out of William A. Lar- ned, for many years the leading light in American tennis. Raymond D. Little, long among the tennis topnotchers, has not been so successful in his efforts to master the game with the little white ball. He has not vet “got going” on the links.
