"participated in small barnstorming matches and tournaments wherever a promoter could book an arena"
This means the players and promotor were scheduling matches in areas where tennis was not often seen, in any arena the promotor could reserve for the matches.
The word comes from the practice of vaudeville shows presenting their acts in any large building they could find - often a barn - in areas where theaters were not available.
1 - To travel around the countryside making political speeches, giving lectures, or presenting theatrical performances.
2 - To appear at county fairs and carnivals in exhibitions of stunt flying and parachute jumping.
3 - To travel around an area appearing in exhibition sports events, especially baseball games.
