ration for the national championship
OH turf.
The two games arc so widely diff
ferent as regards the action of the
ball and the execution of the strokes
that they might we'll be regarded as
two separate games, if We chose TO
split hairs, SO why not establish sepa-
rate rankings for the player who ex-
GELS on turf and the one who is at his
or her best on clay?
| do not think there is any one who
will very loudly dispute when l say
that lchiya kumagae, of Japan, gauged
on his clay court record this season,
would be entitled to the No. l posi-
ton in clay court ranking. kumagae's
game is peculiarly suited to the faster,
truer surface, and his crushing de-
feat Of Tilden in one of the midseason
tournaments demonstrated that the
wonderful little man from Nippon is
quite distinctly better on clay than on
turf. And there are several others
who prefer the former surface.
1t was Ti'den himself who told me,
when speaking of Kumagae's victory
over him in the tournament referred
10, that "Kumagae could have beaten
any player in the world that day" II
is true that William NJ. Johnston won
the national clay court championship
by defeating Tilden in Chicago last July
but kumagae was not competitor IN
that tourney, and his record on clay
up to that time was immeasureably su-
perior TO that of any other player in
the land.
| mention the case Of Kumagae in
particular just to indicate the justiti-
cation for clay court ranking, and the
same arrnNlPnfS that oNnlU tho mo
in this case might equally be used ir
establishing separate ranking fol
the women.
In order to sound public opinion or
this question of clay court ranking,
would welcome criticisms and sugges
tioNs on the subject, and these shal
print in this column, provided due re
gard is observed for space limitations

CHICAGO, Oct 1o-Although the

followers, unusual interest is being
taken in the 1919 debut of the Chicago

The battle between Illinois and
Purdue will. be the first clash of the
season between two Western confer

injuries it's players received in the
game with Franklin last Saturday, Dc

event day was the Ashland, in which
the star trotter Of the season, Nc
Oregon the Great, met his only rival,
Marondale, which has beaten the son
of Peter the Great in his only defeats.
The favorite went away in the lead i
the first heat and won easily. In the
second mile he was under mild drive
in the stretch. but won the third with
much to spare.
The sensation of to- days racing from
a time standpoint came in the 2:03
class for PAGERS, in which Sanardo
breezed the first mile in 2:01s4 over a
slow track and came back in the second
fairly jogging at the wire in 2:02l4.
The topheavy favorite Prince Loree,
winner of the Pennsylvania, was beaten
in the first heat of the 2:05 class trot-
ting by Royal Mac after the pair had
come through the stretch in 291a sec
