| Bio | Highly regarded by the tennis community, this New Yorker used a remarkably effective backhand to achieve some significant honors, enjoying a good deal of success playing indoors. Tall and thin, he had an ideal build for the game and he fashioned triumphs with impressive regularity when he was at the zenith of his game. Pell was the only U.S. participant in tennis events at the 1912 Summer Olympics. He played in the outdoor tournament and reached the third round in which he was defeated by the German Ludwig Heyden. His best performance at a Grand Slam tournament came in 1915 when he defeated Watson Washburn and Beals Wright to reach the semi-final of the U.S National Championships at Newport. In the semi-final he was beaten in straight sets by Maurice McLoughlin. He won the singles title at the New England tennis championships from 1907 until 1910. Pell won the singles title at the U.S. National Indoor Tennis Championships in 1907, 1909, and 1911 and the doubles title in 1905, 1909, 1911 and 1912. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1966. |
