Richards Loses No. |
Tennis Ranking Place
By Leaving Amateurs

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. P-EN-
cluding Vincent Richards from It's
1926 ranking list as a professional
the United States Lawn Tennis as
sociation today elevated William I.
rilden to first place among the ma
tion's amateur players for the seventh
consecutive year.
By vote of 1850 to 23,S75, rep
resenting the decision of it's entire
membership, the associated elimin-
ated Richards from the field III
adonting an amendment to it's rules
which confined the ranking privilege
to those who were amateurs at
the time such rankings are officially
approved"
This blanket measure also elimin-
ated possibility of a ranking for
Mary X Browne, former women's
national champion, and Howard Q.
Kinsey, former holder of the ma
tional doubles title with his brother,
Robert. Both players Joined the pro-
fessional tour of G. c. Pyle last fall
with Richards and Mile. Suzanne
Lenglen, among others.
Defeat of the attempt of the rank
ing committee to include Richards in
it's ranking deprived the youthful
internationalist of No.. 1 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, and Miss
Elizabeth Ryan, who were rated in
that order.
In defense of the ranking of Rich
ards, William M. Fischer, chairman,
maintained that the ranking COM
mittee's 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 a sport
ing spirit"
Support for Richards for his OLD
rival. Tilden, also came by way of q
letter to President Jones w. Mer-
sereau. The deposed national cham
pion expressed the view that Rich
ards had fairly earned recognition
as No. / player.
Opposed to the ranking committees
recommendation were Julian S. My
Davis cup committee, and Carl
Grawn of Detroit, who held that the
ranking should be based on merit
orious conduct throughout the years
as well as on playing ability.

The Badger victory places them in

two games to the Douglas and Bis
bee teams during the first semester,
but came back and evened up the Sc

the Nogales victory over Bisbee while
Douglas took two straight from No
gales and Tucson won the first game
and the second game is to be played

Bisbee travels to Nogales next week

Apache home floor. Tucson is idle

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May r2O.-The
United States is tenth in literacy
among nations Of the world, with
nearly 5,000,00 adult illiterates. who
confess they can neither read nor
write.
In an effort to lessen this number
before the 1880 census, the General
Federation of Womens Clubs is now
making a nation survey of one coun-
ty in each State to the end that
illiterates may be taught to read
and write before the census.
Pupil Aids Drive
After trying all the sources from
which information in regard to lite
rates might logically be expected"
said Mrs. Elizabeth C. Morriss, direc-
tor of schools in Buncombe County,
". c., who is directing the survey,
we persuaded an interested pupil
to Join us in a house-to-house pill
grimage. From these visits have
come five-sixth of the pupils.
However, other sources that yield
some illiterates include: Federal CEN
sus, principals Of schools, school
children, tax lists, mill and factory
owners associated charities, juvenile
court. Jail, health department, store
keepers, public spirited citizens, post
masters, banks and labor unions"
Scope of Plans

ably result in State authorities TAX
ing up the work where club women
leave off, Mrs. Lawson said. This
