Popular among the Basque peasantry
Is an ancient game known as trinquet.
No one knows the origin of trinquet.
bike all Basque customs, it can be
traced back and back till it's history is
lost in the remote past. Nearly every
court in the country bears the aspect
of extreme age. The court at Bayonne
is believed to be 400 years old, and the
one at st. Jean de Luz looks older than
the one at Bayonne. When Louis XIV,
who was married in st. Jean de Luz
church, went down to the little frontier
town to meet his Spanish bride, he
found the Basques of st. Jean de Luz
energetically playing their ancient
game, and he took the idea back with
him to Paris, and from it, largely modi-
fled, comes the game Of tennis.
Tennis and trinquet are very similar,
save that instead of racket a leather
arrangement, known as a glove, is used
for propelling the ball.-Country Life.
