IN PHILADELPHIA. Pa, February
l. 5.-Excluding Vincent Rich
ards from its 1926 ranking
l. list as a professional. the
United States Lawn Tennis
Association today elevated William 7.
Tilden to first place among the Ma
tons amateur players for the sew
enth consecutive year.
BY vote of 1850 to 23,s75, rep
resenting the decision of its entire
membership, the association elimi-
mated Richards from the field in
adopting an amendment to its rules
which confined the ranking privilege
to those who were amateurs at the
time such rankings are officially ap-
proved"
Miss Browne Also Unlisted.
This blanket measure also elimi-
mated possibility of a ranking for
Mary X. Browne, former woman's
national champion, and Howard O..
kinsey, former holder of the national
doubles title, with his brother Rob
ert. Both players joined the profes
sional tour of G. &. Pyle last Fall
with Richards and Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen, among others.
OeledI OF the attempt OF JnS rank
ing committee to include Richards in
its ranking deprived the youthful in
ternationalist of No. l position, an
honor for which he was recommended
for the first time in his career. Miss
Browne had been ranked third in the
women's division behind Mrs. Molla
3. Mallory. the women's champion,
and Miss Elizabeth Ryan, Avho we're
rated in that order
Professionals received a prelimi-
nary jab prior to settlement of the
Richards controversy when President
Mersereau in his annual report de-
scribed the Pyle tour as having failed
of success both financially and from
standpoint of public interest
He predicted that, despite the loss

of Richards next Summer, Our Da-
Wis Cup team will withstand the for
eign challenge of 1927, and the year
will see an American winner of at
least two or three championships In
England, france and the United
States"
The association then approved two
foreign invasions, one by a mems
team, which is expected to consist of
Tilden and Francis r. Hunter of New
York. The other will be made by
joint e-Harvard contingent to en-.
gage ord-Cambridge players.
In defense of the ranking of Rich'
ards, William NJ. Fischer, chairman.
maintained that the ranking commit
tees findings should be based on the
tournament season of 1926. which
Richards had completed as an anna
teur. Calling attention to the fact
that the young New York star had
served lawn tennis credibly in de-
Tense of the Davis Cup, Fischer asked,
the association to vote against the
amendment as evidence of sporting
spirit"
Supported by Tilden. Too.
Support for Richards from his
rival, 'rilden, also came by way of /
letter to President Jones w. Merse
reau. The deposed national champion
expressed the view that Richards ha'
fairly earned recognition as No,
player.
Opposed to the ranking committee
recommendation were Julian S. My
rick of New York, chairman of the
Davis Cup committee, and Carl Grawn
of Detroit, who held that the ranking
should be based on "meritorious con
duct throughout the year as we'll as
on playing ability.
With the Richards controversy set
tied, the association proceeded to APP.
prove an amended mems ranking,
