The photo to your right is more than 80 years old.  At least three Hall of Famers are represented.  At the very left, Hall of Fame inductee Billy Davis at the age of 10.  Standing next to him is legendary Hall of Famer Jimmie McDaniel and to the right, Hall of Famer Dr. Reginald Weir.  This photo was taken at the Cosmopolitan Tennis club in Harlem, New York.  Notice how close to the courts are the buildings in the background.  People could often be seen watching matches from their windows.
