Sportshots No 4 - Victor Barna V R. D. Jones (1933)
Note: Location of the events unknown
Full titles read: “VICTOR BARNA (World Table Tennis Champion) V R. D. JONES (leading English player). With explanatory commentary by Charles Eade Sports Editor, Sunday Express.“
M/S of Eade introducing Victor Barna from Hungary. Good C/U of Barna smiling. C/U of Barna’s hand gripping a table tennis bat, Eade says “Barna holds the bat so firmly that his thumb has worn away the rubber surface.“ Several shots of Barna playing Davie Jones in a practice match.
Good slow motion shots of Barna demonstrating his skills. He performs a trick shot which involves knocking the ball up into the air and putting so much spin on it that when it bounces on the other side of the net the ball spins back over again. Good C/U of Barna; Eade says, “and by the way this game is table tennis and if anyone wants to start a row call it Ping Pong.“
