TENNIS
PLAYERS RATED

~ A list of the twelve leading tennis
players of Great Britain has been pre-
pared by c. B. Dixon, member of
the team which represented England
against America in the international
matches at New York in 1911. The
English National Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation makes no official ranking, but
Dixon has during the past two or
three seasons ranked the players and
his ideas have been commonly ap-
proved by the English tennis fans,
The list is interesting to American
players because nine out of the twelve
have figured in the international con
tests against our experts.
Dixon also furnishes with his list
his estimate of the handicaps required
to put them all on an even footing in
the handicap Journeys.
The ranking and handicaps follow:
No l., A. F. Wilding, owe 1-6; No. 2
H. Roper Barrett, scratch; No. 3, G
P. Dixon, receive 1-6; No. 4, A. r. F
Kingscote, receive 1-6; No. 5, NJ. J. G
Richie, receive 1-6; No. 6, A. H
Lowe, receive 2-6; No 7, A. e. Beam
ish, receive SO; No. 8, F. G. Lowe, re
ceive SO; No. 9, T. M. Mavrogordato

ceive Sc; No. II, G. A. Thomas, re
ceive SO; No. 10, R. s, Barnes, re
ceive 4-6.
The only three of the above lis
which are unknown to American play
ers in general are Kinscote, Thomas

CHICAGO, March S.--We left New

livan of the Amateur Athletic Union
of America and with whom we had a
most interesting conversation. He
said:
Boys, this man Duke is no false
alarm. His wonderful performances
on his first attempt at tank swimming
conclusively show this"
Then he turned to Duke and said:
my boy, you are going to Stock
holm just as sure as you are holding

OF course this news pleased us all
greatly and then l spoke to Sullivan
of a plan had in mind to send Duke

In Philadelphia Duke will receive
the best possible attention and train
ing and also instruction in swimming
from Mr.. George Kissler who is swim
ming instructor at the University o.
Pennsylvania.
Kissler has this year developed an
intercollegiate swimming champion in
Shyrock whom Duke won from at 100
yards in the good time Of 56 2-5 sec,
greatly to Kisslers surprise.
Mr.. Sullivan seemed satisfied wit
my proposal and what suggested will
be done.

Rules of boxing in England have
been revised by the National Sporting
club of London, the leading organiza-
ton of it's kind in Great Britain, with
the object of eliminating Objectionable
features.
To begin with, the National has de-
cided that the kidney punch is foul
and that it must be tabooed in future,
Lest anyone should think, however,
that by the kidney punch" is meant
a curving, curling Highlander deliver
ed from a stand-away position, it must
be explained that the assault the Brit
ish boxing authorities object to is the
one that is committed with the heel
of the glove while two men are hang
ing together. Some experts call it
the anvil punch, but, whatever it is
called, the National has placed 1t on
the retired list.
