Hall of Fame Tennis Player. Born into a distinguished Philadelphia family, he became the first secretary of the recently-formed US Lawn Tennis Association in 1881. He won the first doubles tournament in the US National Championships (later called the US Open) that same year, playing with Frederick Winslow Taylor. In 1882 he reached the singles final of the championships, where he lost to the previous year's champion, Richard Sears (6-1, 6-4, 6-0). He later married the sister of his doubles partner, the engineer and organizational theorist Frederick Winslow Taylor. Clark was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 1983, joining his brother Joseph Clark, who was inducted in 1955.
