Critics Divided
On Relative Worth
Tilden and. Richards

New York, Oct. 14-(Pl-Metro-
politan critics already have taken up
the unofficial task of ranking Amer
ica's tennis stars for 1926 with a
sharp division of opinion as to
whether William T. Tilden or Vim
cent Richards Is entitled to number
l position.
Admitting that the rating problem
has been complicated by the sweep
OF French racquets through the ma
tional championship event and the
passing of Richards from amateur
fold, some observers contend that the
seasons record of the former Olym-
pic champion entitled him to the top
position.
Although Tilden's downfall in the
title tournament was fastened by an
injured knee, these commentators
point out that Richards won three
of his four matches against the de-
throned king and that he was the
only American player to reach the
semf-flnal round. Other critics,
however, feel that Big Bill" should
top the list for the seventh time.
A shakeup in the 1925 first ten"
lineup was seen as result of the
two young players. Alfred H. Chap
in. Jr., of Springfield, Mass, and Ed
ward G.. Chandler of California, and
the intercollegiate title holder AL
though the former faltered near the
close of the season, losing to Francis
T. Hunter in the national tourna-
ment, his triumphs earlier in the
year, including victory over Tilden,
were looked upon as assuring him a
place among the leaders. DR.. George
King of New York, who upset Ia
keiichi Harada in the national tour
nament, also was picked as a new
first ten" player.
