New-York tribune., 1918-12-22

OF Eastern tournaments with the Morse
queen of the courts?
1t is rather difficult to understand
by just what process OF reasoning the
women's committee placed Mrs. Wight
man at No. 2, ahead of Miss Goss, for
lhe latter finished as runner-up to Miss
bJurstedt in the national indoor, ma
ilonal outdoor and Heights Casino
tournaments, besides finishing very
closely to the great champion in many
other Journeys, whereas, Mrs Wight
mans playing was much more limited
in extent Of course. there is no doubt
that Mrs. Wightman is the better
player of the two to- day, but on the
seasons records Miss Goss would seem
entitled to the No. position.
Our own ranking of the women
printed last October, was as follows:
MISS Biurstedt. Miss Goss. Mrs. Green,
Mlss MaSion Zinderstein, Miss Wagner.
Miss Cassel. Mrs. Wightman. Miss
Sears, Miss Pollak and Miss Nathalie
browning. The official ranking places
Miss Zinderstein in Glass /. where she
appears far below her proper station
Illden and Richards richly earned
the No. l place in the doubles ranking,
and 1t is q remarkable tribute to the
sixteen year-old partner of Tilden that
he gained such commanding position
IN competition with some of the vet
eran stars of the game. Young Rich
ards is a champion we'll worthy of the
homo.
