GREEKS HAD FORM OF TENNIS
That the Game Is an Old One Is Sure,
but Its Origin Is Hard
to Trace.
Discussion of possible changes in
the terminology of tennis naturally In
cludes the nnmo itself; nnd here there
are many possible origins. Tho game,
In ono form or nnother, Is very old.
Tho Greeks knocked a bnll back and
forth and cnlled the exercise "phen
nls," for which the Roman nume was
"tenlludlura." "Phennis" nnd "tenl
ludlum" wero ancestors probably of
tho slmllnr French sport in tho middle
ages, and modern tennis may, for that
matter, have been nnmed from the
province of Tennols, where this game
was exceedingly popular. Possibly,
but improbably, the name is derived
from tho French "tenez," in tho senso
of "get ready." "Douce" is genernlly
accepted ub another form of tho
French "deur," but "racquets" has
several possible sources, tho most
likely perhaps being tho old medie
val word "rachette," meaning the palm
of tho hand, when tho gnmo was
played llko modern handball. Chaucer
nnd Shakespeare both knew tho ganio
in England, and, whethor or ot thoy
played it, had doubtless looked on
with satisfaction, nB did Queen Elizabeth.
