Jai AIai Brings On
.First-CIass Dispute,
But What Is Il!
It's Not Dog Racing
Or q japanese Game,
AS Some Believe
Star Staff Photo.

In the wake of the controversy
over the proposal to establish a jai
alai court with legalized pari-mutuel
betting in Montgomery County, a
new guessing game, which might be
termed What is it?" has appeared.
Some of the queries indicate that
the ancient Basque sport has been
confused in some way with dog
racing. perhaps because both are
extant in Florida. One organization,
going on record against it because
of the gambling feature, was under
the impression it was new
japanese game.
The name itself means merry
festival" and probably derives from
the fact that it has been a popular
game at festivals for centuries.
Frank Menke Tells of Origin.
According to Frank G. Menke,
sports writer for many years. there
are two versions of its origin-one
that it was first played by the
Basques in Northern Spain late in
the 10th century, the other that
Herman Cortes, the Spanish ex-
plorer. found the Aztec Indians
playing the game in Mexico and
brought it back to Spain.
1t was first played handball
fashion, the players striking the ball
with the hands Later, gloves were
used. Its final evolution is found
in thes present wicker racket called
a cesta. a long, narrow, shallow
device strapped onto the players
wrist, with which the ball is thrown
against. the walls of the court, or
frontOn.
The game is popular in Spain and
most Spanish American countries
including Mexico and Cuba. where
it has attained the rank of a ma
tional sport. It also is played eX-
tensively in Miami and some other
cities in the United States.
Most Players Are Latins.
Most of the players are Latins
and in some countries managers
have stables" of jai alai players.
much as they have groups of boxers
in this country The players re-
ceive little or nothing while they
are being trained, but when they
get into regular professional games
their salaries range from $3.50 to
$500 a month, according to some
estimates.
The higher qualified players, cor
responding TO the stars in profess
sional sports in the United States.
receive much more, anywhere from
$3.50 to ST 500 month. Players vary
widely in size, most of them being
small. wiry and youthful, but one
star playing in Havana recently
weighed 230 pounds and another
was 55 years old.
The game is played in a three
walled court with the spectators
seated on the fourth side, pro-
tected by a wire netting. The rules
are similar to handball. The ball
must be caught in the air or on
the first bound and returned to the
wall, or the player loses the point.
While professional games are usual
ly played by individuals or sides
of two players each. teams con-
sisting of six and even eight play
ers are sometimes engaged.
A game of singles usually is six
points. for two or more on a side
for anywhere up to 30 or more
points.
The game is credited with being
one of the fastest sports. The bet
ting is rather complicated for one
unacquainted with the game and
most of the spectators at courts in
this country do not bet at all, con-
tenting themselves with trying to
keep track of the speedy flight of
the ball.
