Old Waldorf Bar Days
PING PONG
Named after a game said to have originated in England,
but which Boldt installed in the big room next to the Bar in
its early days. Bar habitues learned to play it, but some;–
times experienced difficulty in hitting the right ball, claim–
ing three or four were going over the net at one time, in–
stead of one.

POLO
Not after Marco, the adventurer, but after the game
which in those days was little known except to the fashion–

outdoor life.
