IN TENNIS SCORING
STILL A MYSTERY TO THE HISTORIANS
SOME INTERESTING THEORIES ADVANCED
The origin or derivation of the word "love" in the scoring of lawn tennis has for long puzzled the historians of the game, many of whom admit themselves unable to offer an explanation. Players usually take the word for granted to mean "nothing" and leave it at that. One of the best explanations of the mystery is contained in the late M. D. Whitman's "Tennis Origins and Mys- teries," from which are the following extracts:—
The playeru of to-day who roll the scores fof evidence in indicate that they were ever a glibly may be surprised to kone, that they speak a language which Jinn been yunste for centuries. While the two of
