“The Etiquette of Platform Tennis” published

The Annual Meeting minutes included the following report by Secretary Robert A. Brown.

“The rapid growth of the game is attributable to the increasing number of ‘newcomers’ who are exposed to and are taken up by the game. With this in mind and in order to maintain the high level of sportsmanship and good conduct that is such an important part of ‘paddle,’ the APTA recently published a new booklet entitled “The Etiquette of Platform Paddle Tennis.”

The author of the booklet was Robert A. Brown. It has been reprinted a number of times and is still available.

The APTA mailed the booklet to all members, and it was well received. Subsequently, the APTA received requests for over 3,000 additional copies of the booklet. Although intended for the newcomer, a number of old-timers requested copies for their close friends who played.
