Tennis has 2 of the same letters in it like baseball
actually because there was already two double ll'so put another double nn so there is 2 of each
Ha! I got the right answer but for a different reason. I thought tennis because it was a game played by hitting the ball with another object. Your measurements of the balls however were very informative. Thanks.
Missed part of my explanation. The balls were hit with an object rather than your hand.
i thought some of the sizes of those blals were the same...
Loved it and got it but for the wrong reason!!! I thought that it was because of the letter the sport started with! That way it would be t,b,t,b.
I said like vterma. In these sports, you do not touch the ball directly, which is not the case in bowling and handball.
I got the same answer as vlerma! Just goes to show you can look at things many different ways!
