NET FORM ELUSIVE
IN LAST CAMPAIGN
Whether Several Stars Are
to Be Ranked Now Held
Quite Uncertain.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n VIEW YORK, January I'll
M When the Ranking Com
mittee of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association
submits it's annual list next month
followers of the game will find one
Of the most radical readjuStmentS
of rating that tennis has known in
many years. Form in the season
Of 1880 was a very elusive and
mercurial thing. At club the
other day when a group of men
who are close to lawn tennis at
tempted to form lists of first tens
that presumably would come close
to the official rankings they had
to give up in despair.
Only a complete survey of the play
of those entitled to ranking including
records of all their matches. would have
served for the work of compiling lists
that would bear any conceivable re-
semblance to that which will be forth
coming from official sources next
month.
Where Bill Tilden will be ranked
II he is ranked at all; the depth TO
scale, If he Is ranked; the relative posi-
items Of John Doeg, Frank Shields and
the rest,-all these and more are ques-
tons that may not be answered with
out complete data as well as an in
innate acquaintance with underlying
politics and trends OF thought.
Hunters Shift Puzzles.
As for Francis Hunter. his announce
4I,f hot ba
fessional bore out Tumors that had been
current for 10 days. But in official
sources these rlmors were not credited
and his retirement as an amateur thus
came to them as a shock. True, Hunter
has seen his best days as player, has
been slipping out little: but he is still
q sterling performer and would have
been as usual an important figure in
national Journeys.
Why he did it no one seems to know.
Desire for money usually accounts for
shift of the sort: but Hunter Is asSo-
ciated in the management Of a chain
Of newspapers and trade papers in New
York State and. thus established it is
not believed he had the mercenary
motives that actuated Vincent Richards,
Robert Kinsey, Mary Browne and others
when they abandoned the amateur
ranks.
His friendship for Bill Tilden is re-
garded as the impelling reason and will
be accepted by most OF those interested
in lawn tennis in the absence of definite
explanation from Hunter.
Such money as he will receive will
have TO stand as compensation for the
loss Of a very delightful occupation as
participant in amateur events in his
own section and elsewhere. It is no
fun for an amateur and a gentleman
to remain a gentleman. and yet be I'M
able to associate with his kind in the
game he loves Na#
The writer has 1t from some of those
who have turned pro that money hardly
compensates for loss OF status as an
amateur in sport which in tradition
and in popular esteem is thoroughly an
amateur sport.
Hunter may have been badly advised.
Friendly loyalty may have swayed him
Beyond reason. In any case, If he mas
signed no contract and received no
money for signing there is yet time, ii
he should think better of his decision,
to change his mind and to continue
with those who play tennis for the
love OF tenniS-plus expenses.
