“All the Dinks Fit to Print”
The Filing Desk
Give us the score and one good detail. A correspondent writes it up, the art desk draws it, and the presses roll in under a minute.
What kind of match was it?
First name + last initial, as in “Ruth A.” One or two a side.
Winners
def.
Losers
Up to three games, the winners’ points first. Leave unplayed games blank.
Waiting on the score. One game is enough.
Who covers it? Six on staff, none of them impartial.
Where it happened, and the one thing the correspondent shouldn’t miss.
Courts, a gym, a driveway. Indoors gets the indoor ball.
Anything at all: the weather, a shoe, an apology, the third game that took forever. Roasts stick to the game, not the people.
0 / 500Up to 500 characters.
One last look at the proof, then the presses roll.
The desk is swamped
