How did tennis grow beyond country clubs to public parks and public schools?

Dwight Davis led the way.

The visionary St. Louis Parks Commissioner built tennis courts in the city parks, introducing the game to everyone.

When he became president of the United States Lawn Tennis Association in 1923, and when was later US president Calvin Coolidge’s Secretary of War, he continued to support tennis for everyone in the country.
