TILDEN SAYS HANDICAPPING
is WORSE THAN RANKING
Offers Some Solution of the Problem of Givino
Points in Various Glasses of Tennis
Tournaments
BY WILLIAM t. TILDEN, I'D

II ANKING or handicapping7 Which is
| III the greater evil7 From my stand
point, | don't know whether l would
rather be ranked 6O-70 with 10 men
that have beaten the same year ranked
ahead of me, or go out and owe some
dub $50" every game, play for about three
hours and either beat him or get beaten
about 6-1, ell Both of these are among
"the unspeakable atrocities of tennis"
II certainly is n blow to consider 60-70,
but IL Is worse yet to slave for hours
beating some person that under ordinary
circumstances you would beat In about
30 minutes.
Consider for one moment what handi-
capping does II robs brilliant man of
his chief asset--speed-since against any
handicap bigger than "owe To-" the loss of
one of the first two points means prac-
tically loss Of the game, and you don't
dare take a chance. 1t is discouraging.
Secondly, II absolutely does away with
any comparison of players merits, since
no man can play his normal average game
either with or against handicap
The man playing with II takes all kinds
of chances he otherwise would not take,
while the better player dare not take
the ordinary chances, since to do so might
place him in a hole.
Thirdly, what credit Is there coming to
n person 1Or DeallnE BOOu man IL you
have been given handicap. None. You
didn't beat him. He beat himself. Han
dicaps kill competition, and development
and progress in tennis depends on keen
competition for incentive.
There are many other arguments
against handicappng, so many and vari-
Gus that we will not go into them; then
the EVENING LEDGER is exceedingly care
full of the language used in its pages, and
the language of many of the arguments
used by tennis players on handicap
ping would not look well.
What Is the solution to the question of
handicaps? Glass tournaments. Rank
players by classes and play regular elimi-
nation tournaments in each class, the win
ners of those classes to play off an elimin-
alton event to decide the championship of
whatever the event may be. This plan
is especially suitable for club champion
ships. the favorite hiding place of handi-
cap tournaments This class system will

RUTLAND FORESTRY.
Rutland Evening News.

The mayor and the board of al
dermen are to be congratulated on
accepting the suggestion and advice
of State Forester Austin F. Halves
made recently with reference to a
municipal forest reserve. They have
appropriated out of the public funds
thousand dollars for forestaton work
this year. This amount of money ought
to make quite showing of young
trees on the denuded lands of the water
shed.
After the start made this year
the work should be prosecuted an
nualy until practically the entire
real estate owned by the city is covered
with trees that will serve at least three
distinct purposes: they will conserve
the moisture and thus regulate the flow
of water into the public system, they
will serve to purify the water, and
eventually they will provide all the
timber needed for city uses and great
deal besides that will become positive
income to the city and operate to a
reduction of the citizens taxes.
Of course the latter purpose will
not be served for good many years
to come, but inside of forty or fifty
years, which is a short period of time
as measured by the life of city or

COMMISSIONER HILLEGAS.
Barre Times.

BArfe lines,
Judging by the training and experience
which he has had through considerable
period of years, Vermont'snew commits
sioner of education, Milo F. Hillegas,
comes to his work well prepared. AL
though he.is at present engaged in uni
versity instruction, his educational work
has been by no means limited to that
because he was at the head of public
schools both in the grade departments
and in the high school, Immediately prior
to accepting an engagement with Colum
bia university. The conditions which
Commissioner-elect Hillegas will find in
Vermont may be somewhat different
than he has been accustomed to in New
York State work, but he will not be an
entire stranger to Vermont conditions
because of his application to the work
of investigating the needs of Vermont
for the Carnegie Foundation two years
ago. ne lllHS VI NlIdI ill'VoNiBu'io' "oS
necessarily limited but no doubt it was
sufficient to give him working knowl-
edge of the situation. Therefore, it must
be concluded that he should be in posi-
ton to step into the work of commits
sioner of education without the neces-
sitv of spending some time in getting
acquainted with Vermont and Vermont S
peculiar needs. AS for the people Of
Vermont, they are ready, we believe, to
receive Professor Hillegas with open
mind; that is, ready to give him a fair
trial, having considerable confidence in
the ability of the members of the State
board of education who selected him for
the most important work of directing
Vermont's school system.
