ny DANIEL.
With the passing OF the national
championship tournament the lawn ten
mis- season. as far as data for the rank
ing committee arc concerned. may be
said to be over. In consequence Of the
series Of upsets which marked the titular
event and the series Of competitions
leading thereto tho ratings for 1916 will
hardly resemble those for the previous
year.
The ranking for 1915 placed the first
ten as follows: William NJ. Johnston.
Richard Norris williams I'd. Maurice
L. McLoushlin. Karl II. Behr. Theodore
II. Pell. Nathaniel w. Niles. Clarence ].
Grimm. Watson NJ. washburn. George NJ.
'hurch and Walter Merrill Hall. Hail
and probably Niles will be among the
missing in the 1916 first ten and the rest
will be shifted about.
No. 1 will OF course be williams. the
champion. Johnston is sure OF his
place at No. 2. bu. the problem Of nam
ing No. 3 will be a somewhat difficult
one. To our way Of thinking Roher,
