ONTO HIS JOB

Chicago, H.. Jan. 8.-In Bill Guthrie. who broke into the Ameri- can league last fall. the majors have another umpire who insists there are no close plays.
 The late Silk O'Laughlin always was disciple of that theory. With Silk the runner was either out or safe. There was never such thing as close play. If he thought so, he failed to admit it.
 Guthrie works along the same line of reasoning as Silk as to the matter of close plays. Guthrie's answer to such a query is always the same.
 There are no close plays, they are either dis or dat" With the "dis" he raises the hand to indicate out, with the dat" he lowers the palm of the hand to indicate safe.
 Guthriey however, does not argue that he never missed one in his life, as did Silk. With Guthrie it is all ways question of how many he didn't miss.

TILDEN AGAIN FIRST IN TENNIS RATING
Champion Is Placed at Top by
 Official Board

New York, Jan. S.-No real surprise was contain in the official lawn ten- his ranking of the United States Lawn
 Tennis association, of which an- nouncement was made for publication today. The national champion, Will liam T. Tilden 2d was placed first. The fact that Tilden won the one most important match in which he engaged with his closest rival, William NJ Johnston of San Francisco, was con s'dered to weigh more than the two victories scored by Johnston over Til- den on the Pacific coast in matches played on asphalt and the additional victory which the Californian obtain ed in the East-West team match at Forest Hills, following the national championship. In granting the great CT weight to the national champion
 ship, the official ranking follows those made unofficially in the comments of newspaper critics of the sport.
 Four new players are found in this years first ten of the mems singles. They are Robert and Howard Kinsey of San Francisco, Zenzo Shimizu of New York and Francis T. Hunter, also of that city.
 The Ranking committee consisted of Russell N. Dana of Pawtucket, R. l., as chairman; P. V. Bowen of Buff falo, B. F. Thorward of Cleveland, William M. Fischer of this city and pr. Philip B. Hawk of Philadelphia The committee decided to rank no foreign players, despite the presence here of members of the Australasian, French and Spanish Davis cup teams, with members of the Australasian and Spanish teams competing in the national championship. This is in accordance with precedent Shimizu was ranked because he had become resident of this city and a member of local club. Another foreign player, Mrs. Harry Bickle of Toronto, who defeated Miss Leslie Bancroft for the women's clay court championship was also unranked for the reason that she is citizen of another country.
 In accordance with the regulation made two years ago by the National association, only twenty players were ranked in the mems singles and ten teams in the mems doubles. Twenty were placed in women's singles. In addition, the various sectional rank ings were announced. these being re- garded as supplementary to the na- tional lists and of weight in the seed ing of draws held in the various sec- tions. The sectional lists contain in- trinsic evidence of the progress of the game in all parts of the country. Tilden and Richards Lead in Doubles
 Tilden and Vincent Richards, win ners of the national championship, l head the list in the mems doubles | while the natural choice of a leader | in the women's singles was the un- beaten champion, Mrs. Molla Blur | stedt Mallory. The national junior | and boys rankings were compiled by | Tilden and his fellow -Philadelphian, | Paul w. Gibbons. They stated that, | in their opinion. these rankings were | the most genuinely representative ever | made. Arnold w. Jones of Yale and Providence, R. l., the national junior title holder is first in his class and 1 David O'Loughlin of Pittsburgh, the | boys champion, is placed first in his | division.
