CITY RANKING FOR
TENNIS PLAYERS
Metropolitan Association to
Issue Official List for
First Time.
by SAMUEL j. BROOKMAN.

An official city tennis ranking Ia 10
be Issued for the first time by the
Metropolitan Tennis Association this
winter. According to an announcement
made yesterday by the local organiza-
tion, a ranking committee is now at
work gathering the data of the sea-
sons tournaments in the metropo' itan
district and a rating list Of probably
one hundred players will be ready within
a few weeks.
~ no n~oh'enn now confronting the
ranking committee IL whether or not
axe into consideration the results
Of matches played by local players OUT
s'se TIE metropolitan district. I'm
doubtedly In many cases considers
ton OF such outside matches would
'N~st re ranking OF players, but In
other cases II would have just TIRE OPP
posite effect. The majority of the as
so~iation officials appear to favor a
restriction of ranking data 10 local tour
neys and II is safe to predict that such
wiz he the ultimate decisi'n.
While new to this city. local tennis
rankings have been quite the fad In
other large tennis centres. PhiladeI-
phia. Chicago. Cleveland. Detroit. San
Francisco and other cities have had
such rankings for many years. and
those cities have been unanimous In the
opinion that the practice furnishes an
added stimulus to tournament cHmpeti-
ton and IN general heightens interest
In the snort. II gives local players
who have no time for tournaments out
eide fAe district some goal to aim at.
Getting into the first ten Of CITY
r. nking II not as great a fee as get
ting Tito the first ten OF a national
ranh!ag, but II has It's merits and a
tom tcher IN n CITY ranking can point
with justifiabIe pride to his position
among the racquet wielders OF his dis
trict.
The ranking Is not to be arrived at
by means Of the mathematical system
employed by the national ranking COM
m.ttee The performances of the play
ers will be given careful considera ton.
but there will be no formula. Included
in the ranking will be only members
Of b-na fide clubs In the metropolitan
district. which takes in Greater New
York and suburbs in New jersey. West
chester county and Long Island. Embroe
Henderson of the University Heights
Tennis Club Is chairman of the rank
ing committed. which Is made up OF
delegates of the Leading clubs In the
district.
On the records of the season II ~
fairly easy to guess who will be close
to the top In local rankino. The
committee viii have more difficulty
placing the men outside the first ten
than the latter. Those who belong near
the head OF the list are Watson NJ.

Baseball Is a Hobby
With Judge Lands
His Wit and Sarcasm on Bench
Have Made Him a Ma
ti0nal Figure.

CHICAGO. Nov. 12.-Judge X. NJ. Lam
dis. the newly appointed high commits
sloner of baseball In America, is a ma
tional figure for the important cases he
mas passed III on. and his wit and sar-
casm--sometimes humorous and sone-
times caustic-which ne directs at
prisoners and counsel from his bench
have made him famors-
Baseball always has oa<s one OF his
mobiles. In the little town of Logans-
port, Ind, where he was reared, the
Judge played on amateur and semi-pro-
!esslonal teams. His brilliant laying
brought him many offers to turn pro-
fessional. bit he alv avs declined, saying
he played merely for sport and love Of
the game.
In 1914 Judge Lands presided in the
legal pattle which resulted from the
greatest baseball war In history--the
tight or the Federal League against the
National and American leagues. The
Judge never rendered decision in ,iis
case. how ever. for 1t was settled out of
court while he was still forming his Of
fetal opinion. While studying the case
the Judge spent many hours looking into
baseball history. the National agreement
and other documents giving information
concerning baseball. The knowledge ac-
quired during this period made him a
legal authority on the administration of
the games affairs.
Judge Lands attends many major
league games here every year and sell
dom misses world series At the
annual fall classic he generally may
be found In box back of third base,
his old black SLOUGH hat pulled down
over his eyes during the game, and d
org black cape fall ng from his shout
ders. He never talks during a game
but studies every play closely and en-
joys analyZing the strategy used by
the opposing players. One Of his hob
bies at q game is to try to guess the
next play.
Judge Lands was born in MillvilIe
Ohio. November 20, 1865, and was
named for Kenesaw Mountain, near At
lanta, Ga. where his father was
wounded in the civil war. He first be-
came nationally prominent when he
