Sling-Tennis— Played with a Bean Bag 



Sling-tennis, a lacrosse-tennis-bean bag 

 game, is played with a slackly strung 

 racket and an ordinary bean bag. A 

 sling-tennis court is shown above. The 

 top of the net is level with the head of 

 a man of medium height, but it may 

 be lowered for children or as desired 



It's a game fast enough for a ranking 

 tennis player and simple enough for 

 little girls in hair-ribbons. The main 

 principle of the game is not striking but 

 catching and throwing or slinging, as 

 in lacrosse. The scoring is almost 

 identical with that employed in tennis
