Clifford S. Sutter (August 31, 1910 — May 24, 2000) was an American tennis player.
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Sutter played his collegiate tennis at Tulane University, where he won the NCAA singles championship in 1930 and 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.
There is no known relationship between the tennis players Cliff and Ernie Sutter of New Orleans and the John Sutter who operated a mill on the American Fork River near San Francisco, California when gold was found on the property in 1848 (that discovery at Sutter's Mill touched off the Gold Rush that started that year and exploded the next year, 1849).
Clifford Sutter was born to Fred W. Sutter of New Orleans Louisiana, who died December 17, 1943 and resided at 5526 Loyola Avenue, New Orleans.
