Thanks for the Rye results Austin Runner, I was able to add a few scores from ALT. The Wheeler win over Hart must have been first round? ALT shows her beating Arnold in the second, but Doris was at the tournament playing doubles, so I moved that result to "1R?". ALT didn't carry the first round at all. I also took the liberty of putting parentheses around married names that were still in the future. Sarah Palfrey has apparently gone back to her maiden name here briefly between Fabyan at the beginning of the year and Cooke at the end.

I would love to see the tale of the British team who were trapped here durign the war.

Anyway, I've edited in everything though Austin Runner's post. Thanks again.

12/23 Update:
And now I see Ugarte also posted Rye results - we have it almost complete. This resolves the Wheeler d. Hart match and puts it in the first round. Also confirms ALT's "H." Arguimbeau is in fact Mariette. Not much more time today -I'll get back tomorrow

OK, that's all I have from 1940. If anyone ever stumbles on any other results, I'd be happy to add them in. Clearly the game had not yet completely stopped in many countries by 1940, as Grece and Holland among others issued ranking lists. Results outside the US would are particulary thin. Thanks again to Ugarte for all his research on the US tournaments.

12/30 update - added in Canadian, Greek and Eastern Province winners from Tournament Winners thread
