side to win must secure two points in succession.

The score is not counted as 1, 2, 3, and 4, but 15, 30, 40, game. When
both sides are at 40 it is called "deuce." At this point a lead of two
is necessary to win. The side winning one of the two points at this
stage is said to have the "advantage," or, as it is expressed,
"vantage in" or "vantage out," depending upon whether it is the side
of the server or his opponents, the server's score always being called
first.

A set of tennis consists of enough games to permit one side to win
six, or if both are at five games won, to win two games over their
opponents.

LAST TAG

There are a great many games of "tag" that are familiar to boys and
girls. One of the common games is "last tag," which simply means that
a boy tags another and makes him "it" before leaving the party on his
way home. It is the common boys' method of saying "good-bye" when
leaving school for home. The principal rule of last tag is that there
is "no tagging back." The boy who is "it" must not attempt to tag the
one who tagged him, but must run after some one else. It is a point of
honour with a boy not to be left with "last tag" against him, but he
must try to run some one else down, when he is then immune and can
watch the game in safety, or can leave for home with no blot on his
escutcheon.

LUGE-ING

A form of coasting very much practised in Switzerland at the winter
resorts where the sled used is similar to our American child's sled
with open framework instead of a toboggan or the more modern flexible
flyer which is generally used by boys in America.

MARATHON RACE

A long distance race, held in connection with the Olympic Games and
named from a famous event in Greek history. The accepted Marathon

44 minutes 20 2-5 seconds.
