Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern game of tennis was first invented as late as the 1870s. Tennis had been known for hundreds of years but was played on an indoor court and was thus only really available to the rich. In 1873 Walter Winglefield introduced the world to the game that was to become lawn tennis and decided to call it sphairistike. Here is a facsimile reprint of the Rules of 1874, featuring press comments, a list of players and a price list for all the equipment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: Its Past, Present, and Future There is none too much literature on the game of lawn tennis, as may be gathered by a glance at the meagre (though complete) bibliography of the game that appears at the end of this work, and there is certainly need for more, since the game can be taught and learned by written instruction nearly as well as by personal direction. There are few capable instructors in America, too, which doubles the need for printed advice. That it requires much learning before one can expect to master it needs no proof. Eustace H. Miles, perhaps the cleverest of all amateur players of court tennis and rackets, expressed the opinion in a recent book that, "Personally, I find lawn tennis far the hardest and most scientific of all ball games that I have tried." Miles's argument is a good one, too, and bears repeating. He believes lawn tennis to be more scientific as well as more severe than similar games played indoors, because the player must always go to the ball, whereas he may wait for it to come to him in any game with side-walls and a back-wall. Lawn tennis is no child's play as the experts play it, and the physical stress of the game makes it somewhat of a tax on one's strength.

Download or read book Sport Histories written by Eric Dunning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports Histories draws on figurational sociology to provide a fresh approach to analysing the development of modern sport. The book brings together ten case studies from a wide range of sports, including mainstream sports such as soccer, rugby, baseball, boxing and cricket, to other sports that until now have been largely neglected by sports historians, such as shooting, motor racing, tennis, gymnastics and martial arts. This groundbreaking work highlights key debates in the analysis of modern sport, such as: the relative influence of intra-national class conflict and international conflict the relative prominence of commercially led processes in different contexts the centrality of concerns over violence differences between elite and mass-led sports developments. Above all, Sport Histories proves the distinctiveness of the figurational sociological approach and its usefulness in the study of the development of modern sport.
