Value Of A Winning Service & Volley

POTENT. WEAPONS IN COVERED

COURT TENNIS

By A. Wallis 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 Sharpo yesterday, but he raised his game to its highest level under threat and clinched the match with a wealth of winning volleys.

But the

odds must favour the Swede, who is playing just as well this year as last and probably with more confidence. In to-day's semi-flaal round of the

The back-court game, as Tilden has shown repeatedly, can snare the volleyer on an outdoor surface, where the varlations of bound and weather, to say nothing af foothold, may militate against systematised net attack, and where the absence of an obstructing root invilea 'the floating lob.

At Queen's the player who can use his service to impose the volleyable return and has the stamina to main- thin the close quarter attack must always have a materin advantage.
