BIG TASK FOR COMMITTEE
Association Unwilling to Work
Without cooperation
of Players.

Unless lawn tennis players aid IN fur
future, it is likely that the rating of the
players for the season may be abolished.
Such action would be following the course
which the English Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton took several years ago. At the an
nual meeting last February al the Wal
dorf-Astoria there were many WHO
favored doing away with the ranking
list or limiting II strictly 10 the honor
roll OF the first ten.
1t was the arguments advanced by
Miles S. Charlock. OF the Crescent Attn
letic Club, at that time. emphasizing the
stimulus which the rating of one hundred
players brought 10 the game. which
turned the tide. so that the list for this
year, issued on December Il. contained
that number Of players.
Tie committee. of which Mr.. Charlock
is chairman, assisted by George r. Adee,
secretary, and Charles NJ. Bun. jr.. has
made recommendations TO the United
States National Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton which will be one of the most dis
cussed points at the annual meeting at
the Waldorf Astoria early in February.
In this report, which was issued yester-
day, the ranking committee indicates that
the players make it's task unduly difficult,
and that the penalty of not being rated
should he established against those who
fail TO send proper data.
In explaining this situation. portion
OF the committees report is as follows:

ers. with the request that the blanks be
