    Rackets (British English) or Racquets (American English) is an indoor racquet sport played in the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada. The sport is infrequently called "hard rackets," possibly to distinguish it from the related sport of squash (formerly called "squash rackets"). World champions 1911–13, 1929–35 Charles Williams (Great Britain) 1913–29 Jock Soutar (USA)

    The photo is mislabeled. His name is Percy D SIVERD. He was the 1912 tennis champion of Pennsylvania. He came from Pittsburgh. I also articles in the NY Times in which he played in Palm Beach. He won that championship in 1912 as well but withdrew in 1913 with cramps.

    Percy Dwight Siverd (March 6, 1889 - February 14, 1974) was the 1911 U.S. Men's Clay Court finalist and Pennsylvania champion in 1912 I started an entry for him in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_D._Siverd
