Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States, Lawn Tennis Association and the World War In preparing this book, the officers of the United States Lawn Tennis Association have been mindful of the fact that memory is short, and that, in the press of current events, those of great importance, at the time they happen, grow hazy and indistinct as they recede into the past. Furthermore, in the case of an organization like this Association, with its hundreds of member Clubs scattered throughout the country, it becomes increasingly difficult to present a picture of its activities as a whole, unless this be done by someone who has a general knowledge of tennis throughout the United States. This idea first took form in mine mind of Edwin F. Torrey, whose years of experience as Secretary of the National Association gave him a particularly comprehensive understanding of the general situation. When it was presented to the annual meeting of 1919, his suggestion that a permanent record be made of the service rendered by tennis during the war, won immediate approval. Accordingly, the Association's office undertook to compile the data which would preserve for the future the salient facts in connection with the sport, under war-time conditions that had no precedent. In presenting this record, therefore, the Association has been moved by a sense of duty, an obligation which it felt was owed to the game. There is no intention to magnify the part that tennis took in the war, for the tennis public would be the first to resent any insinuation that they had done more than their share. The record, however, is honorable, and is one which in years to come may remind those who enjoy the sport, that it had the vitality and inherent worth to meet the demands of a great emergency. It shows that during times of stress and uncertainty the tennis clubs and players of the United States had only the desire to serve their country. That this was the feeling of all citizens, goes without saying. Obviously, however, what the members of the Association did during the war is of particular interest to followers of the game and this book has been written to give them a detailed story of the events with which their friends were directly concerned. It does not pretend to be a history of the war, nor does it tell all that the tennis players accomplished. It is as complete and accurate as the Association could make it, and is presented in the belief that it will be an inspiration to all those of coming generations who may be identified with lawn tennis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on newspaper accounts, college yearbooks and the recollections of veterans, this book examines the impact of World War I on sports in the U.S. As young men entered the military in large numbers, many colleges initially considered suspending athletics but soon turned to the idea of using sports to build morale and physical readiness. Recruits, mostly in their twenties, ended up playing more baseball and football than they would have in peacetime. Though most college athletes volunteered for military duty, others replaced them so that the reduction of competition was not severe. Pugilism gained participants as several million men learned how to box.
