This is likely Thomas Bundy. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D04E7D71E39E333A...

This photo goes to show you have far we have come with regards to sports. It is quite remarkable to look at this tennis player wearing long pants, a belt, and collared shirt compared to the attire that tennis players now wear.

And those clumsy old rackets weighed about ten pounds . . . .

Thomas Clark Bundy (October 8, 1881 – October 13, 1945) was a tennis player from the Los Angeles, California, United States. Bundy won the All-Comers final, but finished runner-up to William Larned in the Challenge Round of the U.S. National Championships men's singles event, in 1910. Bundy took consecutive three men's doubles titles at the tournament, alongside Maurice McLoughlin, in 1912, 1913, and 1914.[1] He married tennis player U.S. National Championships and Wimbledon champion May Sutton in 1912, and is the father of 1938 Australian Championships winner Dorothy Cheney. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bundy

ccferrie Thanks for location! Re the brilliantly named De Pews, could this have been taken before 1901 census, given that Harry's only 26. Bridget is a widow and keeping a boarding house in 1901, so might this have been her husband's enterprise?? Just think 26 is young to have your name over the door but could, as ever, be completely wrong! P.S. John Ward is coming through from the other side on your Thomas Curran link!
