Ex-libris: Clarence Cecil Pell (1885-1964)

Clarence C. Pell was a retired stockbroker and a noted racquets player.

Mr. Pell was a descendant of the Pells who were hereditary lords of the manor of Pelham under a grant from King Charles II and who sold part of the land in 1688 to Huguenot settlers, who then founded New Rochelle. In the deed the city was obliged to provide the family annually with "one fatt calfe."

He was a younger brother of Herbert Claiborne Pell, a former United States Representative from New York and a diplomat, and an uncle of Senator Claiborne Pell, Democrat of Rhode Island. John H. G. Pell, financier and historian and former chancellor of Long Island University, is a cousin.

He was educated at the Pomfret School and at Harvard, where he was graduated in 1908 and was captain of the hockey team. He became a stockbroker in New York, retiring in 1929.

In World War I Mr. Pell served overseas as an aviator, holding a captaincy in what was then the aviation section of the Army Signal Corps.

U.S. Champion 21 Times

The war interrupted his record as a perennial racquets champion of the United States. He held the singles title 12 times between 1915 and 1933. Paired with Stanley G. Mortimer, he won the doubles championship nine times. In 1925 he won the British singles championship, the only foreigner to have achieved this.

The scene of many of his triumphs was the Racquet and Tennis Club in New York, of which he was president from 1933 to 1942. He was also for many years a governor of the Piping Rock Club, Locust Valley, L. I.

Racquets is usually played on a roofed court 80 feet long and 40 feet wide with walls 40 feet high. The players stand facing one of the narrow walls known as the front wall and hit the ball with a gut‐strung bat or racket at each other by rebound off the front, as in squash or handball.

The Racquet and Tennis Club, familiarly known as the R&T, is a private social and athletic club at 370 Park Avenue, between East 52nd and 53rd Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

History

The Racquet Court Club was organized April 28, 1875 and opened May 27, 1876 at 55 West 26th Street. It had two racquets courts, an indoor running track and two bowling alleys. In 1890, it merged into the newly incorporated Racquet and Tennis Club, which planned to build a tennis court, moving the following year to a second, larger clubhouse at 27 West 43rd Street (1891). This second clubhouse had two racquets courts, one fives court and one court tennis court. The Club moved to its third, and current, home in 1918.

Looks decent, doesn’t cook me in summer
Size: Medium, Color: Grey White Stripe
Bought this mainly as another golf shirt and wasn’t expecting much. Material is lightweight and comfortable enough during warmer days. Fit was pretty close to expected sizing. Sometimes inexpensive golf shirts end up feeling stiff or cheap after washing. This one has held up fine so far. Good everyday option.

Most Comfortable Hoodie I’ve Ever Worn…
Color: White Light Blue Grid, Size: Medium, Color: White Light Blue Grid, Size: Medium
Arguably, this is one of the most comfortable hoodies I’ve ever worn—and that’s saying something. The fit, feel, and overall look just come together in a way that makes this an easy go-to. I’ve become a big fan of M MAELREG, and this hoodie continues that trend. Their focus on clean, sharp styling really shows here. It has a modern, athletic look without trying too hard, and it works just as well for casual wear as it does for something a bit more put together. My wife immediately noticed it—and that’s always a good sign. The standout feature is the fabric. It’s lightweight but not flimsy, with just the right amount of structure. The stretch is excellent, and it moves naturally without feeling restrictive. It also does a great job managing heat, which is a big deal here in Arizona. Whether I’m out running errands, heading to a showing, or just wearing it around the house, it stays comfortable and breathable. Another thing I appreciate is how versatile it is. This isn’t just a “gym hoodie” or something you only wear lounging—it genuinely fits in almost anywhere. It has that polished, performance look that makes it easy to dress up or down depending on the situation. At roughly $40, this feels like a strong value. You’re getting a well-designed, comfortable piece that looks good and performs even better. Final thoughts…. ✔️ Extremely comfortable with a lightweight, performance feel.
 ✔️ Clean, modern design that looks sharp in multiple settings.
 ✔️ Breathable and well-suited for warmer climates like Arizona.
 ✔️ Great stretch and mobility without feeling too thin.
 ✔️ Strong value for the price point.
 ⭐️1 star — I don't endorse this at all, poor quality. ⭐️⭐️ 2 stars — I don't endorse it: has multiple faults, or significantly overpriced. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars — It's passable: it has some faults, some compromises, but the quality is acceptable for what it is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars — Product quite acceptable, and it does what it promises. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars — Product that I totally endorse. Blown away. Drop everything and buy it!

M MAELREG Men’s Golf Hoodie – Lightweight Performance Pullover
Color: Grey Green, Size: Medium
This hoodie is a solid option if you’re looking for something lightweight and comfortable, especially for active wear like golf or casual outings. The material feels breathable and smooth, which makes it great for warmer weather or layering without feeling heavy. One of the best things about this hoodie is how lightweight it is. It doesn’t weigh you down, and the dry-fit performance fabric helps keep you cool and comfortable throughout the day. It’s definitely more of a performance midlayer than a traditional thick hoodie, so don’t expect it to keep you warm in colder temperatures. The fit is clean and athletic. If you typically wear a medium, it should fit true to size with a slightly fitted look—not too tight, but not baggy either. It works well for both casual wear and more active settings. The texture gives it a slightly elevated look compared to basic hoodies, so you can dress it up a bit with jeans or wear it with athletic gear without it looking too plain. Overall, this is a great lightweight hoodie for everyday use, workouts, or outdoor activities like golf. Just keep in mind it’s not designed for warmth—it’s more about comfort and performance.
