. If, in serving, the ball touch the net and go over into the proper court, it counts to neither server nor striker-out. xii. The server scores if the striker-out volley the service, or fail to return the service in such a way that the ball would fall within the opponents' court. xiii. Two consecutive faults count a stroke against the server. xiv. If the ball when in play touch either player it scores a stroke for his opponent. xv. The first stroke won by either player scores 15 to that player; the second, won by the same player, raises his score to 30, his third stroke to 40, and his fourth counts _game_. If, however, the players have both scored 40, it is called _deuce_, and the next stroke won by either is called _advantage_ to the winner of it, and if he also win the following stroke he scorea _game_. Should he lose it the score returns to _deuce_. The player winning two consecutive strokes directly following a _deuce_ scores game. xvi. Whichever player first scores six games is considered to win the _set_. 2767. Three--Handed and Four-Handed Lawn Tennis. i. The laws as given above apply equally to these games.

In Three-handed Tennis the single player serves in each alternate game. iv. No player may return a service that has been delivered to his partner. 2768. Badminton. Badminton is a game similar to Lawn Tennis, but it is played with shuttlecocks instead of balls, and over a higher net. [THAT THOU MAYEST INJURE NO MAN, DOVE-LIKE BE.] 2769.
