POTENT WEAPONS IN COVERED COURT TENNIS
By A. Walls Myers.
London, Oct. 15.
So far, in defending his covered court title at Queen's Club, Karl Schroder has not lost a set. The Swede came perilously near forfeiting the second set to Nigel Sharpe yesterday, but he raised his game to its highest level under threat and clinched the match with a wealth of winning volleys.
