Cliff Sutter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clifford S. Sutter (August 31, 1910 — May 24, 2000) was an amateur tennis player in the 1930s and 1940s.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, Sutter played his collegiate tennis at Tulane University, where he won the NCAA singles championship in 1930 & 1932. In 1931, he won the singles championship and was a doubles finalist at the Cincinnati Masters. He also won the doubles title in Cincinnati in 1930 with his long-time tennis partner Maurice Bayon [1].

His brother, Ernie, also was a tennis player. Ernie reached the quarterfinals in singles in Cincinnati in 1934.

Both Sutters were direct descendants of John Sutter, who, in 1848, was operating his mill on the American Fork River, near San Francisco, when gold was found on the property. That discovery at Sutter's Mill touched off the Gold Rush that started that year and exploded the next year, 1849. His father was Fred W. Sutter of New Orleans Louisiana and died December 17, 1943 and resided at 5526 Loyola Avenue , New Orleans LA
