FOR TENNIS PLAYERS
Chairman L. |. Doyle Gives District
Racqueters Sectional Ranking.
BY FRANK III. YOUNG.

AT last years meeting or the WASH
ington Tennis Association, Louis I.
Doyle was appointed chairman of a
permanent committee to look into the
records of the various local players
at the end of each tennis season ana
to give them ranking similar to
those given in the national. sectional
and other city associations. Edward
w. Dom, jr., of the Chevy Chase
Club. and Albert w. Howard. OF
Dumbarton. were selected as the other
members of this committee and at a
meeting recently held the following
twenty-seven players were selected to
comprise the first list issued, this
ranking being based on play in tourna-
ments and team matches In 1916:
Conrad B. Doyle, Henry c. Breck, r.
c. Van Vliet, John T. Graves, jr.;
Dudley d. Morgan. Albert ]. Gore,
Harold e. Doyle, George L. Lewis, ].
Upshur Moorhead, Douglass HiIlyer,
j. Ballard Moore, Horace w. Barber,
Edward o. Leech, Arthur HELEN,
Louis I. Doyle, ]. NJ. Hancock, w. A.

w. Howard. G. Gould Lincoln, Robert
Candor, III. H. Cissel. H. E. Cotton,
II. E. Burton, Walter G. Dunlop,
Robert C. Tracy, c. Arthur slator.
BY way of explanation. the commit
| tee also mentions fifty-two other play
ers who won matches in tournaments
last year. but about whom not suf-
| ficient data was received to enable
It to properly place them In the rank
\ ing. In this connection, Il might be
! mentioned that during the first week
in December of last year. The Herald
picked an "All-Washington' tennis
team of ten players which was almost
identical with the first ten on this
list Eight players on The Herald's
list are named in the first ten above
and the other two were given par
| ticular mention but were not placed
because they had played so few
matches, Van Vliet, who is one OF
those referred to, only competing in
one tournament and leaving the city
! Immediately afterwards.
The basis for the committees action
will no doubt prove OF great. interest
to local players in general and the
records of the twenty-seven named
are given below:
