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 tremendous pace to the bay as it leaves the racket.

AMERICANS' PUTTING SKILL
(By J. C. PIGNON)
London, Jane 28.
AS1 write, from a clubhouse window looking on to the cham-
pionship links at Sandwich, the world's greatest golfers can be. seen playing for the British Open title and the highest fame the game can offer.
The question British golfers are hoping will be favourably answered to-day is, "Will Britain regain the title?" There appears to be justification for optimism. The Americans have not dominat- ed the early proceedings as in recent years. The reason is not that the American professionals have failed to live up to their reputa- tions, but that British golf has improved.
I had an interesting conversation with Gene Sarazen, the American, who has won the British and the United States titles and is regarded as one of the soundest and most level-headed judges of golf.
