CAUSES Comment

| Rating of the first ten lawn tennis
! players in the COUntry WAS published
! in these columns several days ago. but
the complete ranking list is nov avail
able OF local interest is the nc. that
&C.. A. Major Hawaiian champion in
! 1913. is placed in Class ,. including
! players from 81 to 40 Major made a
very Creditable showing in COmpeti-
! tion play last season.
I With NJ. f. McLOughlin rated at No.
| and R. n. Williams. I'd, the national
champion, rated at No. for the sea
son of 1914. followers of lawn tennis
are now looking forward with COnsid-
cradle interest TO the annual meeting
| of the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association next February, as
the ranking committee has recon-.
mended that a rule be passed at that
meeting which shall arbitrarily give
first place to the winner of the ma.
tional title.
This is the first time that the ma
tional champion has not been put at
the head of the list. 1t was felt by
the ranking committee that in the ab-
sence of any rule on the matter the
rating should be done according to
the seasons records and not on the
result of any one tournament. and
on this basis Mclaughlin was clearly
entitled to first place.
In all 100 men were rated in sim
giles. the first 10 being given in indivi-
dual rank and the other 90 in classes
made up of 10 in each. Twenty teams
were rated in doubles. divided into
two classes, with NJ. E. McLOughlin
and T. C. Bundy, the national cham
pions. placed at the head.
Women were ranked for the second
time and Miss Mary Browne of Cali
fornia, national champion, again heads
the singles division. No rating was
given to women's doubles, and only
20 players were rated in singles. The
