DR.. Ufenheimer got the worries TO-
gether at the head of the table and
clicked off a cluster of 80. giving him
a lead of 80 carroms. Both men in
dulged in much safety play for the
next seven innings, with Morton the
principal offender. The latter seemed

table billiards at times and in the
twenty-ninth inning scored the high
run Of the game, with a count of 81

70 amass the total. This served to give
him an overwhelming lead and he con-
tinued 70 draw further away until the
forty-third inning. when Morton sud
denly gained control Of his stroke and
began 20 reel off tn, points with a
deftness Of touch at close billiards that

RANKING LAWN
TENNIS PLAYERS
NO EASY TASK
-Cumors That Committee
May Put Williams in
Place of Honor.
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

The ranking committee Of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Associs-
tion is due to make its announcement
concerning the official ranking of she
leading players OF the country this
afternoon at q meeting at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel. and last night ru-
mors were numerous to the effect that
the committee had decided upon nam
ing X. Norris Williams, I'd. of Phils-
delphia. for she No. 1 position.
Frederick c. Inman. Walter L. Pate
and Walter Merrill Hall, who compose
the committee, were originally sched-
uled 70 make known their rankings on
November is, but after n conference
with Robert ID. Wrenn. president OF the
national association, il was decided 70
postpone the publishing Of the ranking
list until to-day.
Inman and his fellow members OF
the committee informed Wrsna that
the problem of assigning the iivst place
was such serious one this year that
they desired more time in which to
consider the ranking, and wanted to
have ample time to go over again the
records of the leading contenders for
the honor before arriving at then ce-
cision.
Much the same difficulty was expert
enced in 1914, when IL was a question
"a TO whether Maurice Mclaughlin or
Williams. who was then the champion,
should be ranked as No. l. Opinion
seemed about equally divided as bs-
tween the two great players. Will
Jams, although the title holder, was
h. al
MAN, it being held that McLoughlin's
record throughout the season was bet
ter than Williams's.
In making their decision at that time
the committee went on record as being
opposed 20 ranking a player AZ No. l
Just because he was the champion.
The committee faces practically SIM
liar circumstances this time. Johnston
won the national title at Forest Hills
last September, after a week of sensa-
tional victories. Karl Behr, Williams
and Mclaughlin fell before his impetu-
Gus attack on successive days, and
there is little doubt that during the
course OF the all corners tourney that
week Johnston was the greatest player
In the country.
Williams's supporters believe him
entitled TO rank at the top, because or
the fact that his record on the courts,
prior TO the championship tournament.
was far and away superior TO the little
Californian's. Johnston was defeated
earlier in the season by T. r. Pell, n.
w. Niles and Mclaughlin, among
others. In fact, he did not show any
promise until the tournament for the
national title began on the courts OF
the West Side Tennis Club.
II Mclaughlin was out at the No. /
position last year, after being shorn
of his title by Williams, then why is
the latter not entitled TO the same con-
sideration this year, although he lost
his crown TO Johnston, is the argument
advanced by the supporters of the
Philadelphian. and if the reports that
were being circulated yesterday had
any foundation the ranking committee
has made its decision along these lines.

Hughie Jennings Refuses
to Quit His Old Tigers

Der will represent the American
League in the worlds series"
what do you think of Baker going
to the Yankees? ?" he was asked.
els it true that he is coming :" SAID
Jennings. 81 hope il is. Baker would
be a great asset for the Yanks. If they
had him at the far turn, hitting them
out the way he used to hit them for
the Athletics, and Maisel at second,
where they sa, he IS quite as good
as he is at third, Huston would have
real inheld.
II think that the American League
clubs should be more generous in their
attitude towar' the New York club.
Huston and Colonel Rupert should
have the same chance to acquire play
ers as any other man, or men, in the
league. In fact, | think they should
have the prefereh-e: It makes a big
difference around the circuit If the
Yanks are up in the race They are a
real attraction on the road when they
are playing good baseball. Yes, sir, |
hope they can get Baker to play for
them"
Frank ]. Navin, owner Of the Tigers,
also is in town. lie was seen at his
quarters at the Vanderbilt Hotel.
"There is nothing in the report" said
Mr.. Navin. Jennings will be with the
Detroit team next season. and for
many seasons TO come, | hope. lie has
no contract with US. it is true, and
neither he nor | consider one neces-
sary. We have a gentlemen's agree
ment. which is more binding with US
than any contract ever framed by law
yers. In fact, Mr.. Jennings has had only
one contract with the Detroit club. That
expired some time ago, but he is still
there, and, as l said, he will be there
for some time TO come"
Jennings said that he planned TO take
the Tigers to Texas some time in March,
along about the 10th or 18th, and would
remain there until April 4. He said that
he would play only a few exhibition
ames on the way home. 1t 10 the con-
tention Of the Tiger leader that ball

as it can in six.
