SPALDING
for Speed
The all-important factor in modern lawn tennis is speed and yet more speed. Other things being equal the man with that extra speed wins the match.
The new Spalding laminated multi-ply rackets are the fast- est and most powerful ever produced. They can be strung to the highest possible tension without risk of warping thus giving tremendour pace to the bay as it leaves the racket.
The Spalding range of rac kets for 1934 comprises twenty-four attractive models at prices to mult all purses.

Emphatic Denial Of Cricket Politics
TESTS NOT ENDANGERED
LONDON, APRIL 6.
HERBERT SUTCLIFFE, THE ENGLAND AND YORKSHIRE · BATSMAN, GAVE AN EMPHATIC DENIAL YESTERDAY TO THE STORY THAT POLITICS HAVE INTERVENED IN THE TESTS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AUSTRALIA. ..
The suggestion was made, that Larwood and others who ac- companied D. R. Jardine to Australia would decline Invitations 'to play in the forthcoming Tests if Jardine was not-the captain, and that if this occurred, especially if such players as Sutcliffe' and Hammond, who signed the declaration in support of Jardine „in Australia, are affected, the Australians may even abandon the Tests rather than play against a non-representative England
team.
Sutcliffe, interviewed yesterday, said: "If I am selected for England I shall be delighted to play. I know that I can speak for Hammond also in this matter. He will certainly play if he is chosen.
"There is not the slightest per-j sonal feeling between the England fad Australian cricketers. For myself, I can say that I am most friendly with all of them. I am sure that as 8000 as play begins everything will go quite smoothly.
I do not anticipate trouble of any is now visiting Australia, also denied kind."
