6 A HISTORY OF THE PELL CUP Why is the Pell Cup so named? The Pell name is widely recognized in Rhode Island. Senator Claiborne Pell represented the state for six terms, , and his signature accomplishment survives to this day, the Pell Grant. His cousin, C.C. Pell Jr. (Clarry), had a signature achievement of his own, which also survives to today, in restoring the National Tennis Court on the grounds of the International Tennis Hall of Fame here in Newport. 345 THAMES STREET NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND Before it was the international home to tennis, the Hall of Fame complex was simply a private club called the Newport Casino. Court tennis was one of many sports enjoyed on the grounds by its privileged Gilded Age members. The court tennis building, part of the original Casino complex in 1880, was badly burned in a fire in 1939 and all but abandoned. In the late 1970 s, a group of devoted players and enthusiasts, the National Court patrons, led by Clarence C. Pell, provided funding for the restoration through the United States Court Tennis Association (USCTA). Clarry oversaw the reconstruction personally. The informal reopening of the court, known as the National Tennis Court, occurred on September 29, It is the only public court tennis facility in the US. The official dedication was observed in August, 1980, following ceremonies at the conclusion of the first world doubles tournament for the Tiffany Cup. The Tiffany Cup became the Walsh Cup, then the National Tennis Cup and finally was renamed by former NTC President Jonathan Pardee the Pell Cup, in honor of Clarry s many contributions to the game,. It was a fitting tribute to the man, his vision and his tenacity. The very next year, the familiar pelican became the logo for this signature tennis event of summer. 8
