Tennis Great Nat Thornton Inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame

AAC is proud to announce that one of its greatest tennis players, Dr. Nathaniel Thornton was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, Legends Category, on Saturday, February 24 at the Hall of Fame’s Induction Ceremony in Macon City Auditorium. I would like to thank Jeff Chandley, Director of Tennis and Chris Borders, former General Manager of Atlanta Athletic Club and member of the Heritage Committee for their

assistance in nominating Nat Thornton into the Hall. Jim Terry, who serves on the GA SHOF Board, was also instrumental in getting Nat inducted. Dr. Nathaniel (Nat) Thornton's tennis career spanned almost 3 decades, from age 17 to 44. He won 38 titles in singles and doubles tournaments throughout the U.S. from 1901 to 1927. An extensive collection of Thornton's trophies are on display inside the Tennis Center at Atlanta Athletic Club.

A Resilient Tennis Career

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the southern states, and especially Georgia, have produced many great tennis champions. Frank “Hop” Owens, was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame (GSHOF) in 1979 for his successful tennis career throughout the 1920’s. Bryan “Bitsy” Grant was inducted into the GSHOF in 1965 for his many tennis titles won throughout the 1930’s. Largely overlooked, however, is the man who paved the way for Owens and Grant - a man who ushered in what has been described as the Golden Era of tennis in Georgia: Dr. Nathaniel Thornton. Nat, as he was known, brought the first southern tennis championship to Georgia by winning the 1903 singles title at the Gulf States Tennis Championships. On a larger stage, Thornton and his partner, Bryan Grant Sr., shined a brighter light on Georgia tennis by winning the doubles title of the Southern Tennis Championship in 1906. The Southern was considered the grandfather of all tennis tournaments in the south due to its 1885 founding, and its field of competitors including club and state champions from 8 states and 42 tennis clubs that made up

the Southern Lawn Tennis Association (SLTA). The SLTA is the predecessor to the Southern Section of the USTA. Dr. Thornton’s tennis career spanned almost 3 decades beginning with his first title in 1901 at the age of 17, and culminating with his last title in 1927 at age 44. During those 27 years, Thornton won at least 38 titles, including virtually every southern state and regional championship in singles and doubles at least once. Numbered among his titles were state championships in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, and Virginia. Nat won the Southern Championship of the U.S. in singles 3 times and in doubles 5 times. He also won the prestigious Gulf States Championship in singles 3 times, hosted at the New Orleans Lawn Tennis Club, the oldest tennis club in America. Thornton won the South Atlantic States Championship 4 times in singles and 3 times in men’s doubles and mixed doubles. Winning this tournament carried a higher level of pride for him since several of those victories were at Atlanta Athletic Club, his home club, and the club that also produced GSHOF inductees, Grant and Owens.

Nat Thornton & AAC Tennis Team

Woodward Academy, where he made a name for himself as a fine all-around athlete. The Atlanta Constitution in the prose of the era described his play on the gridiron against Decatur in 1900 as being “conspicuously good work and largely responsible for the size of the score.” In addition to being an exceptional football player, Nat also excelled in baseball (where he was a leading player for AAC’s state amateur champion team), and in basketball (where he was one of the leading scorers on AAC’s team, competing against the top collegiate and club teams in the eastern U.S.). Following GMA, Nat attended and graduated from Georgia Tech in 1903. Sometime after graduating from Tech, he attended and graduated from Atlanta Dental College which ultimately merged with Southern Dental College to form the Dental College at Emory University. Dr. Thornton practiced dentistry for only two years before becoming branch manager of the Federal Motor Truck Company in 1928 and then truck manager with John Smith Chevrolet from 1933 to 1942. After a brief stint as a real estate agent selling houses with Rankin Whitten Realty from 1942 to 1945, he once again rejoined John Smith Chevrolet as truck manager. Nat loved sports and being outside, which explains his short career in dentistry, his intermittent career in business, but his long career in amateur tennis.

“Largely overlooked, however, is the man who paved the way for Owens and Grant - a man who ushered in what has been described as the Golden Era of tennis in Georgia...” Bryan Grant, the father of GSHOF inductee Bitsy Grant was Thornton’s partner for the majority of his doubles championships. They made a prolific team and even finished second in the 1907 U.S. National Tennis Championships (now known as the U.S. Open). A capstone to his long and successful tennis career, Thornton’s final championship title, the 1927 Georgia State Doubles, was played at his home club with his partner and GSHOF member, Hop Owens. Nathaniel (Nat) Albert Thornton was born in Columbus, GA. At an early age, his father moved the family to College Park in the Atlanta area. Nat had two older brothers, Henry and Chancellor (Chance), a sister Anna, and a twin brother Stacy. All four of the Thornton brothers were excellent tennis players. The oldest brother Henry was a charter member of Atlanta Athletic Club (AAC), founded in 1898. It was not an unusual occurrence for the doubles final of the AAC tennis championship to feature the two older Thornton Brothers vs. the two younger Thornton Brothers. Nat and Stacy came of tennis age when they beat their older siblings to win the 1900 AAC tennis championship. Nat went on to win other tournaments with his twin, including the 1903 City of Atlanta Doubles Championship. Nat attended Georgia Military Academy (GMA), the predecessor to

Nat married the former Rose Chambers in 1929 and they had one child, Rose Mary. After a long and active life, Dr. Thornton died on January 9, 1975 at age 90 and is buried in Atlanta’s Westview Cemetery. Nat’s daughter, Rose Mary Thornton Dennis, while still living, is in ill health. She and her deceased

husband had no children. On behalf of Mrs. Dennis, AAC is proud to nominate her father, Dr. Nathaniel Thornton to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. We are grateful the GSHOF saw fit to help preserve the legacy of this Georgia tennis pioneer by inducting him into the Hall for his many tennis achievements.

50 Year Members Mrs. Ann McCrory

Our 50 years of fun at the Atlanta Athletic Club started when Bob Boylston, Sr. sponsored my husband, Charles “Doc” McCrory for membership. At that time, we were a family with three young children, living in Tucker. The Boylstons were our next-door neighbors, and it did not take much convincing from Bobby for us to become members. The cost of a membership at that time was just a few thousand dollars! As Doc would say, “it’s been a great ride!”

So many great family memories have been made at the AAC including Sunday lunches with our children, pool time and ice cream with eight grandchildren, and Doc teaching some of them how to play golf. We spent many weekends on the lake at AAC Yacht Club sailing, skiing, and enjoying the sunsets. The July 4th celebrations were always a favorite. We’ve enjoyed Saturday nights in the Merion Room- dinner and dancing to band music. The AAC has always been an amazing place to celebrate any occasion. The crazy game of golf has provided many great opportunities for a good laugh, getting to know new friends and has been such a big part of our time at AAC. My late husband was passionate about his game and sharing his love of the sport with his family. After his passing in 2012, the club became a “lifesaver” for me as I continued to keep myself busy in the 9-hole group, joined the bridge club, and to exercise classes at the health club. The club provided me with such an amazing support system and I am forever grateful. With all the growth over the years, the one thing that has not changed is the kindness of the staff and the friendships that have been made. The McCrory family will cherish all the memories that have been made over the years and look forward to the memories that are yet to come. Thank you to the Atlanta Athletic Club for providing years of fun, cherished memories, and lifelong friendships.

Chip Smith One of my first memories (5) was joining the AAC swim team at East Lake under the coaching of Carlos de Cubas. I enjoyed fishing in the lake at East Lake. After the club moved north, I was at the club almost every day it was open. Buz McGriff made sure that we did things the right way, he was a class act. We would wait to tee off in the afternoon sitting on the bench ready for the signal from Jim Britt.

I have made so many friends at the AAC that I consider them some of my closest friends. I can’t image my life without everything I have experienced at the AAC.
