Chuck Editor and Publisher: Mystery solved! Recall the fascinating mystery of the World Chuck Hoey, Honorary Curator Championship medal discovered by a metal detector enthusiast in ITTF Museum & China TT Museum Utah (USA)? This was reported in edition 86 of the TT History [email protected] Journal. In the 1931 ITTF Archives I found a report by Montagu mentioning his stay in the USA from March until December 1930, when he escorted Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein to Hollywood. Along his journey Montagu stopped in Utah to speak Publishing Schedule: at a gathering promoting the Labor Party.

I estimate the rally lasted over 4 hours! A world record has been discovered on an old vellum drum racket (battledore) with long handle. The inscription on the vellum is dated May 14��, 1856, recording an amazing rally of 10,000 strokes in a game of Battledore & Shuttlecock. Recall that in 1891 the Jaques game of Gossima used vellum drum rackets, borrowed from the shuttlecock game. Someone contacted me many years ago at the ITTF Museum in Switzerland to inform me that a pair of battledores in the Museum had the highest known number of strokes ever recorded, 2,536, in 1896. The above battledore smashes that record, and is now the title holder. Please contact the editor and send photos if you have a battledore with a recorded rally & date. ITTF Museum, Shanghai 3 ITTF Museum Exhibition World Championships, Budapest The ITTF Museum in Shanghai continued their series of temporary exhibitions with a fine presentation at the recent World Championships in Budapest. The exhibition had a comfortable open space feel and attracted many thousands of visitors. The star of the show was the Sterling silver half-size St. Bride vase presented to Victor Barna (HUN) after he won his 3�� (of 5, a world record) World Singles title. This was displayed along with Barna’s ITTF Hall of Fame plaque. What a treat for the local fans! There was also the popular Timeline history, which I originally designed and introduced at the 2005 World Championships in Shanghai, now updated through 2018 thanks to our friend Yao Zhenxu. Congratulations to the museum team for their professionalism, exhibition design and dedication to the philosophy of taking the museum to the people. Great job! Chuck 4 Crowds of fans gather around display cases and the Timeline History The Timeline History, a series of panels documenting all World Championships and Olympic Games, plus historical notes such as ITTF Presidents and major rules changes. Always a popular exhibit. 5 Panels describing the ITTF Museum, in English and Hungarian. Next to the Timeline, panels about some of the great Hungarian players throughout history. 6 ITTF President Thomas Weikert and CEO Steve Dainton visit the museum exhibition Above right: Digital displays of the interiors of the museums in Shanghai 7 Racket displays 8 New Discoveries - Old Treasures Peerless Parlor & Lawn Tennis - 1889 Very rare set of Peerless Parlor & Lawn Tennis dated 1889, sold for a bargain $300. This is one of several early experimental games with lawn tennis motif, designed for play on the floor or on the lawn. While not for table use it is an important game, dated one year before the Foster set. The racket has steel strings and is 15.25 inches (38.7cm) in length. The set includes the net, netposts, original wood box, but sadly only one racket has survived. Below left is a copy of the patent for the racket, by G. D. Corey (USA), patent number 404,899, dated June 11, 1889, and that date is also stamped into the wooden racket handle. A great find ! 9 Early Racket & Ball Game by Chuck Hoey There is ample evidence of the ‘Battledore & Shuttlecock’ game, the predecessor of Badminton played free-form without a net. This was popular with children and adults. The famous artist Kate Greenaway (ENG) often showed scenes of children playing with small rackets and shuttlecocks, and there are many such lithographed cards made in the 19�� century. Jaques used vellum drum rackets borrowed from the shuttlecock game in his Gossima 1891. A few very rare early boxed sets of Battledore & Shuttlecock were produced in the USA, and one in France named Jeu de Raquettes. I have found some evidence of an early racket & ball game, played free-form with small strung rackets as well as vellum drum battledores. Let’s have a look … Here is an example of the free-form shuttlecock game, but note the red ball on the ground. This likely suggests that they played a free-form game using battledores and ball as well. This highly decorative early New Years Greeting card shows the game of ball played free-form with small strung rackets. 10 This is an interesting example of the free-form racket & ball game, played with strung rackets. I would love to find that boxed set in the lower right, though it is curious that the artist shows the rackets bigger than the box!? Another example of the free-form ball game played with strung rackets in this French advertising die cut. 11 Another image of the free-form racket and ball game. I wonder if there was a formal name for this game. For the shuttlecock version, boxed sets I have found were named ‘Battledore and Shuttlecock’ This example, published in New York, shows the ball & battledore game was played on both sides of the Atlantic. 12 This French boxed set of Jeu de Raquettes has two small strung rackets, with some superb colorful balls. But the box-lid shows a shuttlecock (under the R). The owners preferred the game using balls! So what do these images suggest? The fine painting on the right by Edith Hallyar (ENG) shows one possibility of how the idea of tennis on a table was conceived: bored lawn tennis players stuck indoors due to the rain used their imagination … What about bored kids stuck inside because of rain? With rackets and balls that they used to play outdoors, it seems plausible that they might have tried hitting the ball back and forth across a table - playing free- form Ball & Battledore indoors would probably be too risky. I have heard about an early engraving showing kids hitting a ball back and forth across a piano top, but have never seen this. I suppose, with reluctance, we must allow for the oft-repeated tale of using cigar box lids for rackets and a ball carved from a champagne cork, but never any credible evidence of this; once reported then copied over and over again does not make a truth. Chuck 13 The Table Tennis Art of Gustav Rehberger by Chuck Hoey Interesting how many encounters happen to us by His powerful art was shown on the front and back chance. In fact I found some excellent museum covers, plus a lengthy article entitled ‘The Spirit of pieces quite by chance, a sort of destiny I like to Table Tennis’. imagine. Today’s featured artist was introduced to me by a chance happening: our distinguished Rehberger, who was himself a strong player (ranked colleague Diane Webb of England found some #23 in the US by 1939), really captures an intense, American programs and kindly sent them to me.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • History of FOOTBALL World Cup History of FOOTBALL
    History of FOOTBALL World Cup History of FOOTBALL World Cup The FIFA World Cup was first held in 1930, when FIFA president Jules Rimet decided to stage an international football tournament. The inaugural edition, held in 1930, was contested as a final tournament of only thirteen teams invited by the organization. Since then, the World Cup has experienced successive expansions and format remodeling to its current 32-team final tournament preceded by a two-year qualifying process, involving over 200 teams from around the world. The first official international football match was played in 1872 in Glasgow between Scotland and England, although at this stage the sport was rarely played outside Great Britain. By 1900, however, football had gained ground all around the world and national football associations were being founded. The first official international match outside the British Isles was played between Uruguay and Argentina in Montevideo in July 1902. FIFA was founded in Paris on 22 May 1904 – comprising football associations from France, Belgium (the preceding two teams having played their first international against each other earlier in the month), Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, with Germany pledging to join. FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) is the international governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer. It is one of the world's oldest and largest NGOs, being founded on 21 May 1904. It has since expanded to include 209 member associations. President of FIFA - Gianni Infantino of Switzerland / Italy from 2016 to at present. General Secretary - Fatma Samoura of Senegal from 2016 to at present.

  • This Is a Side-Hill Park, Lying in Front of the Kew York Uni- Versity, and It Was Partially Cleaned up and a Road Built Through It During the Year R 901
    UNIVERSITY PARK. (Area, 3 acres; acquired in 1901.) This is a side-hill park, lying in front of the Kew York Uni- versity, and it was partially cleaned up and a road built through it during the year r 901. During the present year a new retain- ing-wall has been built along the whole westerly side of this park 628 feet in length, and all of the ground throughout this park has been cleaned; the westerly bank has been graded and sloped to meet the wall; both ends of the park, which had not been cleared before, have been cleaned up; all the old boulders removed, and the intersections of the drives and the west slope have been planted ~vitIishrubs. The road has been resurfaced, drains repaired, and new di-ains made where needed. (Area, 12 acres; acquired in 1901.) Kothing was done to this park previous to the present year in the way of development, and the same had been cofiplained of as exceedingly unhealthy, on account of the lack of drainage, stagnant water remaining there during a large portion of the year. Early in the present season this park was thoroughly underdrained, and connections made with a sewer which passes through One Hundred and Ninety-second street, requiring the building of over 2,000 lineal feet of vitrified pipe and stone drains. One Hundred and Ninety-second street has been constructed across the park from Jerome avenue to Creston avenue, a distance of 660 feet. 2,880 lineal feet of rubble walks have been laid. In the building of the road and the grading of the park, where old open drains existed, several thousand loads of material have been used.

  • Heinrich Cunow
    Chapter Nine ‘American Expansionist Policy in East Asia’ (June–July 1902) Heinrich Cunow 1. Early American expansionism1 The conquests of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip- pines are always described in tracts dealing with American imperialism as a new turn, representing a break with the old traditions of American policy. If one understands by imperialism a policy of expan- sion dictated by capitalist interests, this view does not quite hold water. Shortly after its ‘liberation’, as soon as it felt its strength growing, the Union began attempts to expand its territory by all possible means – not only through annexation of territories that remained outside the confederation but also through diplomatic intrigues, the purchase of large areas, military provocations and even filibustering expe- ditions undertaken in peaceful times. The purchase of Louisiana – which then included the Mississippi basin and Missouri – from France for 15 million dol- lars was followed by the purchase of Florida in 1819, skilfully exploiting Spain’s distress, and by the first preparations for the conquest of Cuba. The Pearl of the Antilles aroused the Yankees’ exploitative instincts not just recently, but already back then. 1. [Cunow 1902. The subtitles have been added by the editors of this volume.] 196 • Heinrich Cunow In 1823, the then Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams, wrote to the Ameri- can minister at Madrid: ‘It seems scarcely possible to resist the conviction that the annexation of Cuba to our Federal Republic will be indispensable to the continuance and
