SQUASH RACQUETS

GAME THAT GIVES MOST EXERCISE·

COURTS IN HOTELS

Squash racquets is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. In every hotel-and the majority of up-to-date hotels have one or more squash racquet courts-club, and private house where a court is installed. There is hardly a mo- ment of the day when it is not in

use.

Secret of Popularity

'+

The secret of the popularity of the game is that, besides being very skilful, it provides the maximum of exercise in the minimum of time. This is a great advantage to the busy man. He dons flannels and plays squash for three-quarters of an hour and he has done himself as much good as if he had been in a Turkish bath for a couple of hours. Moreover, his muscles have been exercised and all his flabbi- gees vanishes.

Squash racquets is great train- ing for almost every ball game. It makes for quick movement, the ball travels at lightning speed, foot- work has to be fast, and good con- dition is acquired.

The boxer benefits from squash because it is played in a small area and the dancing footwork is simi- lar to what is required in the ring. cricketer and lawn tennis player appreciate the value of

Private courts are springing up everywhere. In some suburbs re- sidents club together to build a court in which they install artificial light. Every evening ther play til they are exhausted, but their health is improved.

The cost of an up-to-date squash- racket court varies from about £25 to £400 according to materials used. There is no upkeep except an oc- casional brushing. The game has the advantage that it can be play- ed in any weather because the courts are covered.

Helen Wills, American queen of tennis, has caused a bit of furore by threatening to appear in tournaments sans stockings, as she did in Nice. Helen Jacobs, another California tennis star, threatens to follow her.

The exhibits of this year were more in number and better prepared than in the previous year and give promise of

great improvement. The Committee realise the value of the work and the immense benefit accrued in connection with the Show, and are endeavouring to formulate practical plans for de- velopment of agricultural work throughout the New Territories Show.
