Review of the 1916 United States Lawn Tennis Season

The United States National Lawn Tennis Association reports a remarkable 1916 season with a 26 percent rise in sanctioned play over 1915. The survey covers 2,697 players seeking the First Tour, noting extensive public court participation in cities like St Louis Washington and Cleveland, expanding tennis inland. Despite wartime limits on Europe matches, Japanese players and international flavor appeared. Maurice McLoughlin’s rank slipped due to fewer tours. The year also emphasizes youth programs and a national public-court competition under the Municipal Recreation Federation, with 2,700 plus players in sectional events and 275 sanctioned tournaments forming the core of the season. The digest lists major champions across singles and doubles and highlights the growth of junior and public-court play through new exhibitions and competitions.
