Jones' next great achievement was his
historic performance at the Intercollegiate

same day. he shattered two long standing
records, the intercollegiate half-mile and
the worlds mile mark. The latter had
been made by Tommy conneleff when a

years OF experience. Jones lowered II

would seriously interfere with his busi-

the matter. "hut II would mean losing the

Rating Of Players
on Tennis Courts
is Knotty Problem

NEW YORK. May 1s.-From widely
different sources the question Of rating
lawn tennis players is brought TO the at
Aention of the followers of the sport this
week. In this cpantry the plan to rate
the women is again uppermost. and with
some fair share of&seuring an equitable
list After having dropped the matter
of rating for several seasons, England
appears likely to revive it. At the last
annual meeting of the English Lawn Ten
mis- association many representative play
ers expressed views Of qualifying COM
petition being held with the object Of re-
ducing the number OF players taking part
in the singles championship at wimble-
ton. The same question has been raised
In this country.
In order to establish the basis for a list.
the official publication OF the English as
ISOLATION has offered prizes for the best
lists which win adequately establish the
ranking of the players. The equivalent
of IS. SIS and IS are the prizes.
Those who compete start by takins

William A. Larned stands at the top OF
the list in this eountry-and then figur-
ing the next best players downward on
the list. In this way the English ma
tional organization hopes to bring about
what amounts to a popular voting con-
test for the ranking positions.
In this country. the official publication
has also inaugurated popular contest
toward rating the women playtrs. The
women themselves have attempted this
matter several times. but without success.
II is hoped that before the season ac>
tually sets In something like an adequate
list wiz be established. Such a list win
necessarily have the name OF Mrs. George
