Court tennis is the Oldest game OF
ball that we have-that is TO say, It
goes back further in it's present form
than any other.
Games of ball Of some kind go back
so far that there is no trace OF their
beginning. In their simplest form the
ball was thrown from one man to an
other. IL we carry the process ono
step further and imagine the ball, or
whatever stood In it's place, to be hit
back with the hand, instead of being
caught and thrown, we have at once
hand ball, the original of all games
like tennis, racket, etc. Indeed, the
French name for tennis remains paume
to this day, because the ball was struck
with the palm of the hand.
