Alan, If the hip area has padding I believe these may be basketball shorts. The tag with the tennis player doesn't mean they were tennis necessarily. This tag was used on baseball jerseys and other sports lines as well. My 1915-1916 Victor catalog has a pair similar to these but I'm not sure on the date on yours. |

Looking at some vintage tennis photos reminded me that the men used to play in pants and the women played in long skirts. I'm leaning towards basketball shorts. |

Thanks again Clint! I changed the title to see if more might chime in. I paid about 10 dollars for it so if it is worth close to what the one on ebay went for I still got a good deal. I will check a couple of Spaulding guides as well to see if they manufactured anything similar to help date it (although you are probably correct dating it to the mid teens). |
