As to the ranking there are certain

lows. For instance, tournaments late In
the season are given more weight han
earlier events In determining the rela-
tive merits OF wins and losses. II A

described as being a matter of records

Charles Garland OF Pittsburg h secre-
tary. Other members are Harry Sey-
mour. Pittsburg J. c. Royon. Cleve-

Most tennis players know Harry Sey-
