Sixty-tnree players have been named
IN all, the first ten numerically the next
forty In groups Of ten alphabetically
while in a supplementary list are in
cluded men who We're considered OF
Glass A calibre, but who, owing to in
sufficient data, could not be placed any
where in particular in the first fifty.
The ranking was approved by the ma
tional association at its annual meeting
ak the Yale Club last night. Perhaps OF
equal interest was the news contained
in the report OF the executive commit
tee that the sport mas made such rapid
strides in the middle West this season
that a Western sectional association
was about to be formed to become af
filated with the national organization
Intercity matches have been held be-
tween Cincinnati and st. Louis clubs
and indications are that East and West
will meet for the first time in squash
tennis competition next season. st. Louis
Racquet Club and st. Louis University
Club have applied for admission into the
association. Other cities that are sub
sttuting squash tennis for squash rac-
qrets and building new courts are Den
YER. Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Chi
cago.
The Improvement IN the squash ten
mis- ball this season Is credited with
stimulating the growth of the sport in
the West. Up to this winter balls ar
irving there after shipment almost in
variably have been found to be soft
and entirely unsatisfactory. It is now
asserted that the new balls retain their
speed and pressure throughout an entire
season.
The association In order to encourage
new memberships voted to abolish in
itiation fees.
