n YEW YORK, January IA
M raid upon the rankings and
" another attack directed against
tennis buns" are expected to
provide the material for the delegates
at the annual convention of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association next
month to ponder, debate and perhaps
battle over.
According to the custom, the ranking
committee has placed the national
champions, H. Ellsworth Vines, jr., OF
Pasadena, Calf, and Helen Jacobs OF
Berkeley, Calf, first in the singles
rankings it has recommended to the
convention, but further down the first
tens" show some surprising changes.
With Mrs. Helen Wills Moody left
unranked because all her playing last
year was done in Europe, only five of
the 1882 women leaders again appear
on the first 10. Among the men, Z
out of the 10 again appear in the select
group, but in greatly altered order.
THE recommendation Of the Amateur
i Rule Committee continues the
process of bearing down" on ex-
penses, which has gone on for several
years. The proposed changes In the
rules concerning club accounting OF
players expenses forbid the granting Of
round figure" allowances for expenses,
demanding detailed reports; allow
transportation only to the cost of one
railroad fare and lower berth Pull
man fare for a group of players travel
ing to a tournament in the same auto
mobile, and require separate account
ings for expenses allowed to wives OF
other non-players accompanying COM
petitors.
Outstanding among the many changes
in the mems singles rankings are the
rise of Wilmer Allison, Davis cup star,
from ninth to second place, and of
Lester Stoefen from fifteenth to sixth,
and the drop of George Lott from sec
ond to eleventh.
Caroline Babcock of Los Angeles,
junior in 1881, earned third place In
the womens rankings while another
young Californian, Josephine Cruick-
shank of Santa Ana, rose from twelfth
to fifth.
