The National Covered Courts
Championships of Great Britain
A commentary on the final of the Men's Singles by F. H. Grisewood from Queen's Club, West Kensington
By mid-October, the days of outdoor tennis are more or less over for another year, and tennis under cover becomes the thing. The championship to be commented on today by that tennis enthusiast and popular broadcaster, F. H. Grisewood (who, by the way, held a radio discussion on Thursday with Peggy Scriven-he the 'rabbit' and she the ' star') ') marks the opening of the covered-court season and is one of the outstanding autumn events in the tennis world. It is an annual affair played on a wooden surface. Most of our big players will be competing and also some foreign players of repute.

The Mountain Championship is open to all cars and is the only scratch race run on the mountain track. Entries are strictly by invitation and only top-notchers are invited to compete. The distance is ten laps, I and
1.7 miles per lap. The money prizes are £40, £20, £15, £10, and f5, and the winner, in addition, is presented with the Kathleen Drogheda Trophy which remains his property for a year. The holder is Raymond Mays who won it last year, thus becoming mountain champion. The commentary will be given by that well-known broadcaster F. J. Findon , editor of Light Car.

' Le Rouet d'Omphale ', by Saint-Saens is a beautiful piece of tone painting based on the legend of Hercules enslaved by the Lydian queen. But the composer warns us not to take its programme too literally, since the subject is meant primarily to illustrate the seductiveness of woman and the struggle between weakness and strength.
A French critic has described the music and detail as follows: An arpeggio figure, alternating between the flute and the violins, soon leads to an orchestral illustration of the whirr of the wheel. A broad melody in the basses, repeated in the different melodic progressions, the instrumentation becoming each time more powerful and highly coloured, expresses the anguish of the hero, who cannot free himself from the wiles of Omphale, and the same phrase in another rhythm becomes the lively derision which the coquettish queen expends upon her lover's fruitless efforts to get free.'
