Simple Racket Repairing.

In re-stringing a tennis racket—a process that is frequently necessary in tropical humidity—the main thing to avoid is straining the frame when the strings are being set up taut. To obviate this the “Truegrip” racket stringing clamp was invented, and is now made available to tennis players and sports dealers by the Wimbledon Tennis Gut Co., Q.V. Buildings, Sydney. With this device the frame is held firmly by the bow, and straining of the throat and shoulders is im possible. Equipped with the clamp and a supply of special tropical tennis gut, a player, by the aid of the illustrated instructions sent out with each clamp, would have no difficulty in carrying out his own repairs and those of his club members.
