Description
This club started as a cooperative effort of some friends and neighbors in the spring of 1909 in the back yard of William Rossman, located at the present 38th Avenue and 221st Street, when they constructed one, as they described it, single primitive court. It was but one of two courts in the entire community of Bayside.Some of the participants in this venture were George Abbott, the theatrical director, playwright and producer; John Golden, famous theatrical producer; and James J. Corbett, former World's Heavyweight Champion.On January 26, 1914, they formally formed the Bayside Tennis Club and started the season of 1914 with four courts. This was on property opposite 219th and 220th Streets leased from the Long Island Railroad Company for the sum of $5.00 per annum. Club members did most of the planning, surveying and labor involved in the construction of these four courts.Dues for the year 1914 were $8.00 for family members and $5.00 for Adult Single Members. In 1919 we joined the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association.
