ington has nineteen, Baltimore is
half dozen and Norfolk brings up tn
however, does not furnish leader
honored twice and Richmond, with
Clarence MCharest, who works in
Washington and does most OF his ten
mis- playing here, but who retains
Baltimore as his official home, heads
the singles list, and, with William D.
Sweeney of the Monument city, tops
in the doubles. Penelope Anderson,
youthful Richmond player, LEADS the
woman racketers.
Washington has the most players in
the mems singles with nine, one more
than Baltimore; is even with the
Maryland metropolis in the doubles,
with three each, but the Monumental
city has the edge in the women's
singles, the figures standing eleven
to seven.
John Temple Graves, jr., is the rank
ing Washington player, being placed
second to Charest In the mems dou-
bles, Dwight F. Davis, international
the National Association, and Arthur
HELEN are the capitals best, being
third, preceded by two Baltimore
combinations. Mrs. Clarence Nor
ment, jr., who is fourth, is the first
Washington woman to be rated.
Placing Mrs. Norment in the van OF
Mrs Winnifred Ellis and Marywill
Wakeford and Louise Kelly is very
surprising to close followers OF the
game here. Although Mrs. Norment
won the District title, in which both
Mrs. Ellis and Miss Wakeford COM
peted, she had fallen before these
players earlier in the season, and did
not show as consistent a game as
either of her rivals for the full cam
paign.
Miss Wakeford. Mrs. Ellis, Louise
Kelly and Mrs. Norment, with the
first two about on par, were gen
- u = E1f
order. In the middle Atlantic list Mrs.
Norment is fourth, Mrs. Ellis is sew
enth, Miss Kelly is tenth and Miss
Wakeford is thirteenth.
Opportunity for Comparison.
A good comparison of the players
is offered by the results of the
matches in the Woman's League dur
won all nine of hers. defeating all of
the other three players mentioned;
Miss Kelly won eight, losing only
to Miss Wakeford; Mrs Ellis won
seven, losing to Miss Kelly and Miss
Wakeford. while Mrs. Norment took
only three of nine, losing to all of the
other trio.
Mrs. Ellis and Miss Wakeford, ex-
cept for the District title affair. set
the pace for Washington woman play
ers in local Journeys and other events
in the section.
