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 ball as it leaves the racket."

The Spalding range of rackets for 1933 comprises seventeen attractive models at prices to sule all purses.
