32a Instruct one playing a game of Boston (5,6). Answer seems to be 'court tennis' which Google says is a game, but what does it have to do with Boston? Does anyone know?

Court tennis is an anagram - instuct one,
Boston is a card game similar to whist and court tennis is a game similar to squash. Boston in the US has a court tennis set-up...unusual for the US. Is there a similar set-up in the UK?
Beyond that I see no other connection.
