Tennis an Historic Sport The game of tennis, or lawn ten- nis as it is more properly called, is of comparatively modern develop- ment. Its history dates from December 1873. when Major Walter Clopton Wingfield introduced the sport to his guests at a garden party on his estate at Nantclwyd, Wales. It was his adapta- tion of the ancient game of kings, court tennis, which has a 700 year history. In 1874 Major Wingfield, an officer in the British Army, patented the game under the Greek name of Sphairistike. Sphairistike was introduced into the United States in the spring of 1874 by Miss Mary Ewing Outerbridge. whose brother, A. Emilius Outerbridge, re- ceived permission for her to set up her net and mark out the hourglass- shaped court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club at St. George. Staten Island. Newport and Philadelphia became early centers of tennis, along with New York and Boston. The first important tournament was at Staten Island in 1880.
