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.
