Pueblo chieftain., 1921-01-30

Twonty-thrcc cities and eleven
states arc represented among the
sixty-five juniors who have Sccn ac-
corded places on the list compiled by
William y. Tildon and Paul W. Glib
bons in charge of the junior ranking
for the United states Lawn Tennis
Association. Twenty boys and ten
girls also are ranked. Their report
says: In submitting this report your
committee realizes that there is no
basis in actual results for the place
mcnt of for example. the best Junior
in Cleveland as compared with that OF
the junior with the best record per
haps in the Northwest. and that this
same lack of opportunity of making
/ interscctionHl comparisons obtains in
a number OF instances. Yet whore ono
junior is ranked from section or
tennis center he has earned 1t IN
tournament play. and in numerous in
stances where more than one boy is
ranked from a given tennis center We
have ample records TO justify the Sc
quccc OF those from the same section
The changes in the rules and other
helpful influences OF the committee for
the DEVELOPMENT Of junior Boys and
Girls tennis which greatly stimulated
play among the juniors and resulted
in more sections being represented IN
the national championship, gave your
committee an opportunity OF getting
a fair line on the relative ability OF
the Juniors in those sections sending
their boys to Forest Hin.
Mr.. Tildcn on his trip thru the west
personally gsugcd the ability of these
juniors coming under his observation
as compared with those in the east
with whose standard OF play he was
familiar"
After discussing the desirnbility OF
ranking tho young players even
thoust 1t be done by a less technical
system than Is applied to senior
events, the report continues:
Your committee feels that despite
the fact that there are no actual re-
suits to show that Charles Wood. No.
II Is better than Kior Boyd. No. IS.
because they have not played each
other. the mere fact that at least two
outstanding players in each OF % ten-
mis- centcrs arc listed in national
ranking should serve as an incentive
tion OF tho United States to win
placement in future ranking"
