Call it table tennis, or ping pong, the game is the same — played with wooden paddles and white celluloid balls, on a regulation large green table, with white lines, and a low net across the middle. Millions play the game annually in the United States, and it has been elevated to a national title sport. The national champions for 1941 repeated, Louis Pagliaro winning the men's event and Miss Sally Green again taking the women's crown. The title events, held in the grand ballroom of Manhattan Center, New York, attracted top players from all over the country. Large crowds attended the matches.
