Catalogue Note
The first American tennis players were women. New Yorker Mary Ewing Outerbridge was introduced to the newly invented English game of lawn tennis while vacationing in Bermuda in 1874, and, on her return home, set up the first American tennis court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club where she played against her sister.
