Ping-Pong
table lawn tennis, a game that was introduced from England and became very popular in the United States in 1902. The game is played very much as is the regular game of tennis. Across the center of a table a net about six inches high is stretched; the rackets and balls are proportionately small, the former being strung with fine gut, or formed from a single piece of vellum stretched tightly over a racket frame; and the latter being made of celluloid. The scoring is the same as in tennis.
