Slazengers!

This year the players in the Wimbledon Championships were asked to vote for their choice of the ball. With an over. whelming majority Slazenger Balle were selected... hy the world's finest players.

Since 1902 Slazenger Balls have been Wimbledon's exclusive choice. Last year they were also selected for the Davis Cap Interzone Final and Challenge Round, for the National Championships of 16 countries, and leading matches” and tournaments all over the world.

In every corner of the Globe Slazenger Balls are famed for their consistently better quality.

50% Longer Life!

With the new 1935 "K" cloth, the Slazenger Ball gives 50 per cent. longer and better wear... a percentage proved by hined court and inboratory tests.

With the longer life, the consistently better quality, the truer fight and accurate "lift," the Slazenger is definitely a better ball. Try Slazenger Balls for your next game. Your Sports Store has them.
