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 tensión without risk of warping, thus giving tremendous pace to the bal as it leaves the racket.

The Spalding range of rac kets for 1935 comprises seventeen attractive models at prices to salt all purses.
