Table Tennis History Journal 84 Excellent Reading for Historians, Collectors, February and All Lovers of Our Great Sport 2018 Table Tennis History Journal 84 Excellent reading for Historians, Collectors, February and all Lovers of our Great Sport 2018 The Lady magazine, January 23, 1902 Gowns for Ping-Pong parties - page 14 From the Editor Table Tennis Dear Friends, Welcome to issue 84 of the Table Tennis History Journal for History historians, writers, collectors, and all lovers of our sport. Journal Our beautiful cover illustration was found by Alan Duke (ENG) while researching early magazine articles. Alan also continues his series on early newspaper articles., this one on Parlour Tennis. Steve Grant (USA) continues to document the spread of the new game with part 4 of his series on early advertisements. Jorge Arango (COL) sends another installment on early pirated images, while Gerald Gurney (ENG) recalls a foreword by Montagu to the brilliant Zdenko Uzorinac’s Od Londona 1926 do Sarajevo 1973. Your editor offers some exquisite early items in New Discoveries, Old Treasures, as well as a Great Shots vintage photograph,and my usual report on Auction Action, which has some surprises. Our Philatelic Update is a brief one, with only one new stamp, and several blue meters by the German TT Bund (DTTB). My former Table Tennis History website can now be viewed at ittf.com/history/documents , including the list of all past editions of our journal. Recently I created pdfs of all pre-2000 AGM No. 84 minutes for Dropbox, and hope these can be restored for public access. I will continue my dedication to preserving the history of February 2018 our great sport. It is very disappointing to report that one of our members has Editor and Publisher: committed a serious breach of ethics by falsifying a quote which he attributed to me in an online article, pompously claiming his Chuck Hoey, Honorary Curator is the ‘greatest collection in the western hemisphere’. Never ever ITTF Museum would I make such a bizarre and untruestatement. I have worked new: [email protected] with the journalist to right a wrong and remove this bogus quote. Hope you enjoy the new issue. Feedback always welcomed. Next Publishing Schedule: edition scheduled for May 1, 2018. I encourage our readers to June 1 Submit articles by May 15 share their experience, research and writings about Table Tennis Oct 1 Submit articles by Sep 15 history.

The bat is in a wood presentation box with custom-fitted plush interior & engraved shield. Black vellum on wood. Your editor plans to donate this to the ITTF Museum in Shanghai. 3 New Discoveries - Old Treasures Fancy pair of gilt brass net supports. Impressively large at 35cm. Truly an old treasure. I plan to donate these to the museum in China. 4 Great Shots This wonderful photograph of the famous Rowe twins with a group of young players was sent by Fiona Dobie, whose father, David Dall, is between Diane and Ros. But who were the other players in the group? This was a puzzler, as we were not able to identify any of the others. Finally I contacted Diane Rowe Schöler, who said it was likely from one of their training camps at Butlin’s Holiday Camps in Filey, England, between 1952 and 1954 . Fiona wrote that her father continued to enjoy Table Tennis well into his senior years, so the Rowe twins did a great job of inspiring the young lads to love the game! What a privilege to have 2-time World Doubles Champions as their coaches! Here is a souvenir or prize from one of Butlin’s training camps, a fine pierced brass dish with enameled insignia, a pair of crossed rackets. 5 Early Ads Around the World Part 4, the Americas Concluding our series, we look at 1900-1902 ads in seven countries in the Americas. (For Bermuda and Jamaica, see Part 3, the British Overseas Empire.) ---Steve Grant (USA). USA Dec. 11, 1900, New York City. To British ears, “Pom Pom” evoked a discharging Boer War Pom Pom cannon. So, in England, Slazenger was filing instead for trademark rights to “Whiff-Waff,” granted Dec. 31. (Competitor Wright & Ditson of Boston then used the Pom Pom name in 1901.) July 16, 1901, New York City. Slazenger sometimes lost the hyphen and added an extra “h”. Fashionable, Dec. 4, 1901, Kansas City Finally arriving in Waterloo, Iowa, May 1902 Ping pong parlor ad by “Alice Up-to-Date,” Sept. 13, 1902, Omaha July 20, 1902, Dallas 6 …but no Ping Pong, Feb. 13, 1902, Newport, Rhode Island Even a paper hanger “sells the Ping Pong,” Sep. 20, 1902, Chester, Pennsylvania Siegel-Cooper department store, Oct. 30, 1902, New York, 43 styles of bats May 18, 1902, Chicago April 6, 1902, Philadelphia Sept. 12, 1902, Colorado 7 Gibson Girl pictures, June 6, 1902, Colorado Springs Doughnut as ping pong ball, 1903 booklet for Cottolene shortening “The very newest,” Nov. 11, 1902, Janesville, Wisconsin 8 CANADA Dec. 4, 1901, Winnipeg Jan. 27, 1902, Toronto, “with American racquet” “Ensuring quick and graceful movement in the player,” April 2, 1902, Victoria, “for the tourney” that’s scheduled. May 12, 1902, Edmonton July 21, 1902, Edmonton [For more examples from USA/Canada, see my book Ping Pong Fever: The Madness That Swept 1902 America. ---Steve G.] 9 MEXICO “Mexico City, engrossed in golf, has allowed ping pong to go by default up to the present time, but hereafter it is expected that cards and dancing will be in a considerable measure displaced by the new and popular pastime.” ---Mexican Herald, May 13, 1902. In July, the American club there challenged the British club to a home-and-home match. May 14, 1902, Mexico City May 12, 1902, Mexico City Making Americans feel at home, Sept. 25, 1902, Cuernavaca April 16, 1903, Mexico City Too slow for Insomnia Club, April 16, 1910, Guadalajara 10 CUBA Ping Pong sets sold cheaply if you buy or rent a piano from this music store, September 11 and October 9, 1902, Havana July 19, 1902, Havana PERU December 23, 1902, Lima BRAZIL April 13, 1902, Sao Paulo, “Now arrived, a huge assortment of this interesting game for the family.” We learn a new name for the game, Timo-Timo, which the next century’s Timo Boll may find amusing. Casa Fuchs borrowed the wrong illustration from Slazenger, showing Table Badminton instead of Table Tennis! In the upper right is “Registered,” which also seems out of place. The store ran its first Ping Pong ad in January 1902, then many smaller ads in April, and also ran the ad at left in a second paper, now with the “correct” spelling of Whiff-Waff. Beginning in 1903 and continuing for more than a decade were numerous Sao Paulo newspaper reports of ping pong clubs and inter-club matches. 11 CHILE Paton’s 1901-02 ads in the Spanish-language El Mercurio were in English, but by 1903 (right) they were in Spanish. Westcott (below) made the same switch. Dec. 28, 1901, Valparaiso June 28, 1903, Valparaiso Sept. 7, 1901, Valparaiso May 19, 1905, Valparaiso The years 1903-04 saw numerous reports in El Mercurio of inter-club matches, including one of an English team versus a Chilean team. Prior to the Grand Championship, Aug. 16-18, 1904 (left), Westcott hosted an exhibition in its store. There was also a match on Aug. 12 of Chile versus The World: 12 Philatelic Update Syria 2016, for the Olympic Games in Rio ITTF World Tour German Open Bremen blue meter ITTF World Tour German Open, Bremen blue meter with Christmas & New Year greeting A third variety of the 2018 German Open blue meter Special thanks to Hans-Peter Trautmann, Winfried Engelbrecht,Tang Ganxian, Gao Yi-bin, Ortwin Schiessel, Marc Templereau, for their helpful reports of philatelic items. 13 EARLY MAGAZINE ARTICLES – PART 7 by Alan Duke This 7th part of the series is a bit of a Ladies’ Special, featuring as it does articles from The Lady (published weekly in the UK from 1885 to the present), Our Home (also a UK weekly from 1898 to 1927), The Lady’s Realm (1896-1916), and Woman’s Beauty and Health. The Lady 2 January 1902 rather low over the table, it is best to rule that any ball THE PLAYING OF PING-PONG. hitting it, and thence dropping to the opposite side, is out, BY A PLAYER. and counts against the player.

The past year has seen many of those necessary reforms come about. For some, these changes have been difficult, but I do believe they were essential if we were to build for the future. We had to take a long hard look at what we did and the way we did it. Since our team came into office two years ago, everything we have done has been geared at returning table tennis to a position where we could plan ahead with confidence. We have now arrived there. Earlier this year, we were delighted to learn that our main financial supporters, Sport England, decided that table tennis was ‘back on track’, removed us from the ‘special measures’ and returned us to secure funding to the end of this cycle. This means that we can prepare for the future with confidence.

  • Charles Bawden
    CHARLES BAWDEN Charles Roskelly Bawden 22 April 1924 – 11 August 2016 elected Fellow of the British Academy 1971; resigned 1980; re-elected 1985 by VERONIKA VEIT Charles Bawden, Emeritus Professor of Mongolian Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (in the University of London), was born in Weymouth on the south coast of England (Dorset), on 22 April 1924. Scholar—Poet—Man of His Word: in such terms may be characterised the three vocations which were to guide and form the life celebrated in this memoir. Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XVIII, 449–469 Posted 21 November 2019. © British Academy 2019. CHARLES BAWDEN The scholar Born of parents who were both school-teachers—the father at the local elementary school for boys—Charles himself describes his home as a modest one. ‘There were few books at home,’ he recalls, ‘but important among them were the pre-first world war edition of Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopaedia, and the Harmsworth Encyclopedia, which between them served as my childhood library.’ In the late 1930s, however, Charles’ father bought a wireless set, which the young boy calls ‘his lifeline’: from that set he was first able to listen to spoken French and German, which later were to prove his main academic interests, and even to hear music—another of his future lifelong interests—for Weymouth itself was, in those days, ‘a cultural waste’, without even a public library available, as Charles remembers. A further step in what he describes as his, in some ways, ‘contradictory upbringing’, and which directed his interests more definitely towards what was to become his future career, might best be described in his own words: On the one hand my father, especially, was a real pioneer in some things.

    ACROSS THE NET Melton Table Tennis May 2020 Edition 56 NOT MUCH TO SAY, REALLY I spoke to a doctor last night, and she said that she was hopeful of the virus being eradicated very soon. Mind you, she’s a doctor of music, but it was nice to get some good news. In this edition, we look back over 6 years of previous editions and hope that there is a reason to write future editions. COVID-19 UPDATE Well, we are still in the grips of a lockdown. It’s tough on many of us, driving us crazy and leaving us with a feeling of hopelessness. It’s like umpiring a best-of-5 match between two defenders. You know it’s going to end sometime; you just don’t know if you can hang on until then. But hang tough, my friends. We will get through this. As you know, both of our venues are currently closed. We have had no word on when these are likely to re- open, so it’s just a waiting game. When we hear that the restrictions are going to be eased, your committee will need to meet to discuss how and when we can get back to playing. We’ll obviously keep you informed. The best you can do in the meantime is follow the medical advice given, look after each other, and stay safe. Until then, I thought I’d put together some of my favourite articles from the past 6 years of Across The Net, just to give you something to read while you wait for better times ahead.
