National Association Plans to
Carry Out Novel Expert
ment in Next List.

Women lawn tennis players are 10 be

history Of the game. The announcement
was made Yesterday by George r. Adee,
secretary Of the ranking committee OF
the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association, at his office, at No. 3S Broad
street.
AT the annual meeting OF the national
association. in February, a resolution
vas passed favoring the ranking Of 1t
least twenty-five Of the leading women
players Of this country The method OF
accomplishing the task was left TO the
ranking committee and Miles S. Char-
lock. chairman, and Charles NJ. Bull, Jr.
Both agreed at a meeting held this week
10 undertake the experiment ! may say
that England has never undertaken TO
rate its women players. Americans will
be the first TO enter this field, and II viii
be A difficult task because the playing
OF the women is not as well known or
as consistently reported as that of the
men
ut is the intention Of the ranking COM
mttee 20 appoint a Subcommittee "
women players, whose members will be
selected from various sections Of the
country-say. Mrs. Thomas c. Bundy.
who was Miss May sutton. on the Pacific
Coast. and others In the Western and
Eastern sections of the country. No de-
cision has been made as 10 the committee
Of women as vet. The report will be
passed by the regular ranking committee
and then passed on 20 the executive
committee Of the national association for
( final action"
Nearly a thousand record blanks were
mailed to the leading players throughout
the country during the week by Adee, as
secretary Of the committee. He said
Yesterday that a radical departure will be
made this year In including as ranking
records inter-club and inter-city matches.
Such contests, he said, were popular In
the West and II was expected that the
new method would bring to the list many
peared.
In requesting data on singles and dou-
bles from the players the committee Is
sending a notice to the effect that mid
season and late season playing will count
! for the most and that no player will be
ranked who has not competed IN at least
three of the open tournaments held under
] the direction OF the national association.
All records must be returned TO the
ranking committee by the latter part OF
next month The systematic tabulation
will be worked out during October. and
the list issued early In November.

"it will be a distinct departure from the

There will be ample accommodations for

The Goodyear Secret

Hundreds of thousands of men have adopted
them. And this tire has become, after eight
years of tests, the leading tire of the world.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-08-03

This hookless tire makes il essential 10 have
an unstretchabe tire base. II must be held
on, under every strain, so that nothing can
stretch the tire over the rim fange.
We get this by vulcanizng into the tire base
six fat bands of 10 braided wires. See pic
ture at the top.
This tire can't be forced off But when you
unlock and remove a fange it easily slips off.
There are no hooks on the base to freeze"
into the rim fange, as with old-type tires.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-08-03
Controlled by Secrecy

These braided wires are made under lock
and key-made by secret machinery.
They cannot be initiated. And it seems that
without them.
Makers have tried it again and again, but
thousands of the tires came back for replace
ment
SO the wish to end rim-cutting has forced
tire users to Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-08-03
How We Combat
Two Other Ruinations

Next to rim-cuttng, the costliest items In
tire upkeep are due TO blow-outs and tread sep
aration.
To minimize blow-outs we use the "On-Af
Cure" The tires are final -vulcanized on
elastic air bags instead of an iron core.
This prevents the fabric from buckng and
wrinkling. 1t equalizes strains. Thus We
avoid the cause of countless bow-outs.
This "On-Air Cure" used by US alone, adds
to our cost 1850 daily.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-08-03

The No-Rim.Cut tire is a Goodyear
invention, and we still controlit.
An essential feature is these braided
wires, which no one else can make.
This tire can't rim-cut - that we
guarantee. This fact has saved motor
lists many millions of dollars.
1t has also made Goodyears the
worlds favorite tires. They now out
sell any other.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-08-03

Tread separation, when it occurs, comes near
the breaker strip This is the fabric strip
WHICH comes between the tread and carcass IN
a well-made tire.
For this strip we use a patent "rivet fabric
This permits us TO run. from the tread TO the
carcass, hundreds of large rivets of rubber
Then the tire is vulcanized en- masse.
We have exclusive use of this patent. No
other tire can thus prevent the ruin OF loose
treads.
