  Swart little Angelo Trulio started to play one-wall handball five years ago. He was so good that he took up the harder four-wall game, beat Alfred Banuet for the national championship last year. Last week little Trulio was favored to keep his title in a cream-colored court of the Lake Shore Athletic Club in Chicago. His surprise came in the semifinals, against Albert Charles ("Hobey") Hobelmann of Baltimore, a player who had lost in the national semi-finals for the last six years. They made a preposterous contrast in the court—Trulio with the well-muscled physique of a lightweight boxer, Hobelmann 6 ft. 3 in. and 154 Ib. wearing spectacles. Trulio as usual tried to wear down his opponent with a slow high serve that crept along the wall but Hobelmann's low volleys, played fast with amazing control, passed the champion again & again. When they came out of the court, Hobelmann was in the finals, 21-6, 21-6.

Answer 5

Handball in the past goes all the way back to the Ancient Greeks  and the Romans and is recorded as  being played in Germany during the Middle Ages.

Modern game of handball was started in the 19th century by Swedes, Danes, and Germans. A Berlin sports teacher Karl Schelenz ,along with other German physical education instructors, is considered the founding fathers of handball. He launched a form of handball played on a full football pitch and later on improved the rules. This was the field version 11X11 played outside on a football pitch.

A new indoor handball version preferred by the Scandinavians became the more popular version holding its 1st world championships 1946 and 1972 (76 for Women)

Unless of course your talking about the hand wall version then that would be the Irish.
