SPORT GOODS
By Only The Best
It cannot be too often urged that those who wish to get the best out of any game or pastime should purchase the best equip- inent that they can.

There are some people who, be
can cause they
play only moderate game, think that the question of the racket or the ball is not so important as it is to the player in the toy class.
In that they are not only wrong. but they are also retarding their own advancement and certainly depriving themselves of some of the pleasure to be derived from the same, whatever it is.
To buy the best means that one gets not only the best materials
combined with the best craftsman ship, but also something which is well tested to secure consistency of result.

with regard to weight. bounce, and other desirable dualities
It is the care with which many- facturers of repute supervise every stage of the manufacture of ten- nis balls that has made it possible
for the Lawn Tennis Association to
support the efforts to secure con- sistent quality by giving its recom- mendation to approved makes.
SELECTION OF TIMBER It is something which is greatly prized by the makers, and it is a matter from which all players who take an interest in their game must benefit.
It requires but the briefest cons sideration to see that a player of any rank must benefit by a scheme
which ensures that the balls are made to certain definite standards as regards inflation, flight, size. and bounce.
At the same time it must be re- cognised that, the makers, of other 225 bats and equipment, such rackets, have also exercised the greatest care in the selection of
