 New York, Sept 13-(UP)- This bureau has decided to give the busy minds of the United States Lawn Tennis association 2 lift by compiling the .fbig ten" of the 1882 mems ranking. As every body knows, the minds of the U. $. l.. T. A. are busy trying to figure up 8 decent excuse for the inde- cent way they treated many of their customers at last Saturdays match between Ellsworth Vines and Henri Chochet
 Hundreds of ticket holders ar- irving late, were told there was no more room and were refused ad-s mittance. But even more shocking was the manner in which the off cials treated their guests, to whom they had issued complimentary tickets. When the guests" ar- rived to exchange their coupons. or invitations, for tickets. the doors were slammed in their faces. It is' only reasonable to believe that the before it realized the final would OC d oCli~ouI, dHu OCiOiC C lllNi WS'O any indications that the guests would occupy seats that might otherwise be sold for cash.
 But that's the association's wor- ry, not ours. This is bureau for the uplift of sports. not manner Let those who seek knowledge concerning the right fork and the treatment of guests turn to Emily ok hn 1n vx,ifI Ia thi,r ten" selection. Our advance list was great success last year. We picked Vines for No. 1 and so didl the ranking committee.
 So, having had such success with the lanky Californian in 1931, let US put him in the post of honor this year.
 We don't think there will be many objections to this choice. There will be some, of course. There always are. Even if you said the Empire State building was the. tallest building in the world, you'd get q rise out of somebody. But the objections won't be very stren- uous. Any man who can win the Wimbledon and U. S. cshampion- ships and whip Henri Chochet twice in the space of four months deserves top billing.
 ,~ The matter of the No. 2 spot is a little, more difficult. Does it be- long to Winner Allison, the red-.t neck Texan, or Clifford Sutter. the rejuvenated intercollegiate cham, pion from New Orleans? They both went to the semi finals of the na- tional. Allison played beautifully in the Davis cup business and Sut-. ter, scored impressively in tourna- ments here. We'll match, heads, Allison, tails, Sutter. Heads it is, so Allison gets the deuce spot. Sutter the trey position.
 Frank Shields. the in-and-out New Yorker, gets berth No. 4, with No. going to Lester Stoefen, an- other Californian. Practically un- known, last year, Stoefen, blessed with the most burning service in tennis made his presence felt up and down the line this season. His defeat of Jiroh Satoh in the na- tionals was particularly noteworthy the Japanese ace being one of the worlds ranking performers.
 A couple of customers, Sidney B. Wood, New York, and Johnny Van Ryn, Phi1adelhia. grab the sixth and seventh places. Eighth place goes to Keith Gledhill. who paired with Vines to win the na- tional doubles, and No. 9 to Greg ory Mangin, national indoor titler holder. a
 Tenth place goes to George Lott who rated No, 3 in 1881. The Chi- cagoan wasn't so hot this year. losing four out of six to Frankie Parker, and. blowing up complete .ly in the nationals.
