Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Handbook, National Squash Tennis Association, 1912-13 The game of Squash Tennis is an adaptation of the game of racquets to a small court with wood walls and a lawn tennis ball and bat, although both the bat and ball have now been specialized for this game. The small size and comparatively light construction of the courts enabled them to be built quickly and cheaply, and it was soon found that the game had a distinct character of its own and filled a real need in the world of sport. Squash Tennis, or Squash, is a game for winter evenings. Without claiming to rival any Of the great out door games, it Offers a real athletic exercise in conditions where otherwise only some such game as billiards or bowl ing would be available. It is played equally well by elec tric light or by daylight, and in a court but little larger than an ordinary room. With all this, it is a game worthy of any man's best efiorts; one the possibilities of which have never been approached. It is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, of all games, and it is sufficiently strenuous to satisfy a normal craving for exercise in half an hour; it is the best practice for eye and hand to keep a tennis player in form through the winter, with variety enough to prevent him from going stale. It is not surprising therefore, that squash courts have been built in large numbers at city and country clubs, and that interest in the game is constantly increasing.
