SCORE TENNIS RANKING
Delegates tot Fight for Revision of
Method at National Association
Meeting Today.

NEW YORK, February 5.-Final
rehearsal of what one delegate call
ed farce comedy, entitled Making
a Ranking" was held yesterday by
several of the sectional delegates to
the annual meeting of the United
States Tennis Association. being held
at the Hotel McAlpin today
According to delegates from the
west and as nearby as PHILADELPHIA,
the present ranking has a crazy-quilt
look. 1t does not match up with the
sectional and divisional rankings in
several, not to say many. instances.
The delegates are determined to
get new deal on the ranking ques-
ton. Some of them go SO far as to
predict that instead of the custom
airy vote to pass the ranking as is
sued. it may be Cancelled and a revi-
sion ordered. If this is accomplish
ed it will be one of the most revo-
lutionary acts ever recorded at the
annual session of the tennis solonS
One of the western delegates de-
clared that he intended to offer a
recommendation that would prevent
injustice and confusion another year
He proposes that the national list
is not to be compiled until the re-
ports of the sectional and divisional
rankings have been submitted, in an
effort to prevent what he called fla
grant mistakes in the list as it APP
pears this year.
Much interest in the meeting also
centers on the awarding of the ma
tional championship tournament, for
which Philadelphia and Forest Hills
are in the field; an important revi-
of courts for Davis cup matches.
All other subjects have been
thrashed out and are only up for the
Formally of review.
