I encourage our readers to dive in and help preserve the historical record and find those scores. Please contact the Editor if you find any. Go for it!

With thanks to Bruno Lancon (FRA) 12 Greeting card with copy of a painting by famous Italian artist Massimo Campigli (1895-1971), kindly sent by another great, Fabio Marcotulli 13 The Tale of E C Goode and the Chemist’s Cash Mat by Alan Duke The Story: This oft-repeated story was featured by Chuck Hoey in a Fact or Fiction article (TTC 46, page 4). The tale of a Mr E C Goode from Putney using a racket covered with a rubber cash mat, spotted by chance in a chemist’s shop, probably originated from Ivor Montagu’s description in his second book on the game, Table Tennis (1936) - written over 30 years after the event, by someone who wasn’t even born at the time! In this version the claim was made that Mr Goode then proceeded to defeat everyone at the next Royal Aquarium tournament, including in the final the then champion of England Mr A C Parker “by the preposterous score of 50 points to 3”. In later versions of the tale, the event had even become the national championships! When and Where: In attempting to verify the origins of this story, assuming that memory wasn’t playing tricks with the venue and that it was at the Aquarium as described, the tournament would have to have been before 10th January 1903. On that night, after 26 years as “a landmark of London as well known as St Paul’s to the average citizen”, the Royal Aquarium closed, and 3 weeks later on 1st February following the sale of props, etc, the Wesleyans took possession. In his farewell speech, “Uncle” Ritchie (manager; and father of M J G Ritchie, organiser and referee of the tournaments held there) stated that he was “proud to say that about thirty million people had paid for admission since the Aquarium was opened” (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 12 January). Also, if the reference to Arnold Parker were to be believed, that places the event after December 1901. But I have yet to find any reference to Mr Parker losing 50-3 as reported. And although there were a number of candidates named E C Goode in the London area at that time, none ever appear to have entered any of the reported events (let alone win any), and none were from Putney. But there were numerous reports of a Mr Good. And during 1902 there were plenty of tournaments at the Aquarium to choose from, e.g. All-England Championships (8-14 January), Westminster Championships (3-8 February), South London Championships (5-8 March), London Championships (29 October to 1 November), All-England Championships (3-6 December). Earlier Reference?: Checking to see whether Ivor Montagu had made any reference to the story in his (much rarer) earlier book Table Tennis To-Day (1924) gave an important new perspective to the tale! Firstly, the subject was a Mr Good (not the E C Goode as copied and elaborated on in every subsequent re-telling of the events), and secondly there is no reference to Mr Parker (or Putney for that matter, only “a suburb”). The time is some two or three days before the great championship tournament at the Aquarium in 1902. The scene is a suburb, and Mr. Good, one of the competitors, is returning to his home. He has a cold, and, oppressed by a headache, he enters a chemist’s shop and bespeaks a palliative. Then with a suddenness that characterises all great discoveries, he perceives the chemist’s cash mat. A Eureka-stroke of genius, a simple transaction, and the thing is done.

    The Spirit of Pong by Larry Hodges Copyright 2015 v07-03-15 Cover Illustration by Mike Mezyan of Mezyantt.com Bonus Short Story at End Ping-Pong Ambition The Spirit of Pong Dedication To table tennis players everywhere. Especially the spirited ones. 2 The Spirit of Pong Introduction This story was many years in the almost-making. I’m a professional table tennis coach & writer, and a professional science fiction & fantasy writer. What could be more natural than combining these two? Just about anything else. Let’s face it. Most stories about table tennis use the sport as a punch line. How could anyone take ping-pong seriously? But how about the Olympic Sport of Table Tennis? They really are the same thing, and you can call it either one. I actually like the stories that make fun of the sport! Those who know our sport know better. Those who don’t—well, why not take a quick trip to www.youtube.com, search for “Olympic Table Tennis,” and see what comes up? I’ve always wanted to combine the two, but it’s not easy finding a mix. I did write and sell “Ping-Pong Ambition,” the bonus short story at the end of this book. But I wanted something more serious. And then, one day, I mused over the idea of an American going to China to learn the secrets of table tennis . and this story was the result. This is not a conventional story, this is a fantasy. You will meet the spirits of a number of the past greats of our sport, and even the spirits of “what made them great” for some current and living players.

  • Global Sport, Nationalism and National Identity Construction: the Case of Naturalised Chinese Table Tennis Players in South Korea
    Global Sport, Nationalism and National Identity Construction: The Case of Naturalised Chinese Table Tennis Players in South Korea By Myungsun Lee A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in Partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University March, 2018 School of Sport and Exercise Science © Myungsun Lee Abstract The purpose of this research is to analyse the process of South Korean nationalism and national identity construction through studying Chinese table tennis players that have become naturalised citizens of South Korea. Based on an Eliasian theoretical and methodological prospective, this research employs three different methods of analysis. First, it employs archival analysis in the historical context chapter to determine the origins of table tennis and its spread to Northeast Asia, the political and societal role of table tennis in China and South Korea, and the appearance of the first naturalised player in South Korea. Second, this study employs newspaper text analysis to investigate newspaper reports of the South Korean and Chinese table tennis matches from the 1988 Seoul Olympics Games to the 2012 Games in London. This section first examines the flow of Korean nationalism through the table tennis matches between Korea and China, and then explores how the newspaper reports expressed nationalism in regard to the Korean players and naturalised players. Third, this study employs an interview method to gather data from 17 interviewees who have been associated directly or indirectly associated with the Chinese naturalised table tennis players in order to further examine the process of the formation of South Korean national identity.

V Ružom- berku je vôbec historicky prvá. K skutočnosti, že som sa k tejto náročnej práci odhodlal, prispelo viac faktov a náhod. Jedna z nich, ktorá rozhodla, bola, že zo zdravotných dôvodov som skončil ako dlho- ročný stolnotenisový funkcionár jednak v Ružomberku, ale aj na Slovensku. Ďalším faktom bolo, že v našom meste bolo vydaných viacero rôznych kníh, v každej však bolo o našom športe napísaného pramálo. Samozrejme som to pochopil, pretože knihy, ktoré mesto vydávalo, neboli venované podrob- nejšie športu, mali iné poslanie. Najviac zavážila skutočnosť, že tento šport mám neskutočne rád a pri- rástol mi k srdcu. V kútiku duše som veril, že v našom meste sa podujme niekto napísať knihu, ktorej obsah by bol čisto športový. Nestalo sa, možno niekedy v budúcnosti. Povedal som si, že ten, kto sa na to podujme, bude mať uľahčenú prácu. Svoju pamätnicu už vydali futbalisti, nejakú históriu majú spracovanú lyžiari, a možno aj iné kluby, o ktorých nemám vedomosť. V každom prípade si myslím, že šport na území nášho mesta si zaslúži, aby sa mu venovala aj takáto pozornosť. Je na veľmi vysokej úrovni, je to fenomén, ktorý vzorne reprezentuje svoje kluby, mesto a celé Slovensko vo svete.

    Analysis of culture development of Chinese table tennis Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in Sport Coaching and Management Jialiang Zhang 2018 Author(s) Jialiang Zhang Degree program Degree Programme in Sport Coaching and Management Report/thesis title Number of pages and appendix pages Analysis of culture development of Chinese table tennis 27+3 As a national ballgame, table tennis has played an important role in the social progress and the development of sports since the founding of new China. After more than 60 years of development, Table tennis in China has achieved unparalleled glory in the international table tennis world. The status of a strong country table tennis is unshakable. In recent years, with the Chinese ping-pong army has been dominating the international table tennis world. Although it is a matter of pride. From the perspective of the development of world table tennis, it is not a harmless thing. It is often said that sports have no borders, and the achievements of China's ping-pong movement cannot be realized by ourselves. Therefore, we should face this problem with an open mind. The 19th party congress pointed out that "a country or nation without culture has no soul." As a Chinese culture, table tennis should be promoted from the school, so that the spirit of this culture is not only popular in contemporary times, And let the table tennis culture in the folk transmission. Through the methods of literature review logical analysis and questionnaire method, this paper studies the contents of the development of Chinese ping-pong culture from the perspective of culture.

  • I Ragazzi Guardano Le Stelle Ping-Pong
    I ragazzi guardano le Stelle Ping-Pong di Enzo Pettinelli con la consulenza di Nicola Falappa Senigallia, Giugno 2011 I ragazzi guardano le Stelle Tutti i diritti letterari di quest’opera sono di esclusiva proprietà dell’autore. 3 Enzo Pettinelli Presentazione Presentare una nuova fatica letteraria di Enzo Pettinelli è per me sempre un grande onore, sia dal punto di vista personale che istituzionale. Il nuovo lavoro, dal titolo “I ragazzi guardano le stelle”, che avrà diffusione esclusivamente per via informatica, coniuga perfettamente due aspetti fondamentali del tennistavolo che Enzo Pettinelli, dall’alto della sua esperienza, ben conosce. Il coniugare infatti il grande mondo dei campioni, che hanno timbrato con la loro presenza e le loro prestazioni indimenticabili, le più importanti manifestazioni mondiali, con il mondo dei ragazzi che nel tennistavolo vedono anche un modo per giocare, divertirsi e sognare, mi sembra veramente una mirabile intuizione che certamente sarà da tutti apprezzata. Il lavoro di Enzo, con cui l’autore vuole anche celebrare a suo modo il 150° dell’Unità d’Italia, si colloca come importante progetto culturale, all’interno della rafforzata collaborazione in atto tra la nostra federazione, il TT Senigallia ed il Centro Federale della città marchigiana. Passione ed emozioni da una parte, tecnologia ed innovazione dell’altra sono le componenti fondamentali di un’idea cui auguro tutto il successo che merita anche nell’interesse del nostro amore comune per il tennistavolo. Franco Sciannimanico Presidente Fitet 4 I ragazzi guardano le Stelle Note dell’autore Non è solo ping-pong o tennistavolo. È un’avventura vissuta dai bambini, attraverso il loro modo d’essere.

This paper explores these ideologies from three angles: (i) Mao’s early thinking regarding physical culture and sport; (ii) the development of sports under Mao’s socialism and the Cultural Revolution; and (iii) China’s breakthrough in the post-Mao era. In sum, sport remains connected over time with the idea of “imagined Olympians” and of a response to the “Sick Man complex.” The advent of postcolonial thought has opened the possibility of more diverse understandings of sports in China. he slogan of the 2008 Beijing Olympics slogan is Olympians” (3) and “sick man” complex (4) were used and “One World, One Dream.” Chinese officials claim evolved in Chinese and Western literature over the last cen - T that this slogan fully reflects the essence and the uni - tury, and how China has recognized and presented itself versal values of the Olympic spirit — unity, friendship, through an image of Western Olympians that is coloured by progress, harmony, participation, and dreaming.
