Half OF the worlds best lawn tennis

Gently published two First Tens.
The experts comment on American
women players Is especially notewor-
thy in view of the fact that this is the
first time he has included selection Of
a women's First Ten" in his annual
review and that he gives the United
States n majority place. Referring to
this, Mr.. Myers says:
''S,rely u sign hat the gulf in the
standard of play between the two
hemispheres has now disappeared.
For the development in women's play
on the other side in recent years l
think we have to thank, firstly. the
organizing genius Of the Americans.
secondly, the example of greater
speed rendered by the men and, third
ly and perhaps mainly, the spirit OF
successful competition which animates
every girl in the United States

The First Ten" among men is
headed in order by W. =. Hidden. w.
M. Johnston and Vincent Richards.
Mr.. Myers thinks their position at the
top of the list Is "abundantly justi-

Noting that Richards enters the

adds: "1f Richards had a souidcr
constitution one might confidently pre-

more pleasing to the eye than the
