STORM BREWING
OVER RANKING
OF BILL TILDEN
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. y. U.P)-Wil-
liam Tatem Tilden II. about whose
lanky form a thousand tennis wars
have ragged, may become the center
of another controversy Saturday
when the ranking committee re-
ports its findings to the 5lst an
nual convention of the United
States Lawn Tennis association.
Big Bill, according to many, will
be ranked No. l for the 1lth con-
secutiye year despite his defeat in
the national singles championships
at Forest Hills last summer. This
belief spread few weeks ago when
Tennis. official publication of the
association, said the ranking COM
mittee. in making its 1880 rations,
would consider q players perform
ance abroad as well as at home.
Now Tilden, as everyone knows,
had a merry time in Europe last
year. winning everything in sight,
including the British singles cham
pionships at Wimbledon. The fact
that Henri Cochet, generally recog-
nized as the finest player in the
world. played in the Wimbledon al
fair. made Bills feat all the more
remarkable.
AT home Tilden's lot was not such
happy one. He was whipped in
several tournaments. and went out
of the national which was won by
Johnny Doeg, in the semi-final
round.
If the lanky Philadelphian is Civ
en- the act spot there is certain TO
be much protest. for the aSSocia-
ton in its so years of existence has
failed but once to name the ma
tional champion the No. l player,

Tomorrow Nights
Boxing Card Off

Baby Sal Sorio and Vivencio Al
eante are a couple of good boxers,
but they are absolutely no good as
goldfish. ducks or seals and they
will not perform tomorrow night at

Directors Of the CLUB paid a visit
to the fight arena today and report
ed it is in excellent shape for boat
races or a swimming carnival, but
absolutely the bunk for box fight
ing.
This makes the second week in
succession that the weather has
forced calling off the bouts, some
thing a little more than unusual in
Imperial Valley history. In fact it s

rected today toward the activities of the
Ukiah Grape Products Co., Inc, which
