Would Mean Rankings.

ELECTION of officers and appoint
- rnent of committee chairmen will
suffice for the business of the initial
meeting and those interested in the
scheme already are discussing among
themselves the figures most worthy
to be placed in the higher positions.
Establishment of treasury, giving
the association financial independence,
and creation of ranking committee,
assuring the city of official rankings
of all of its players for the first time
in years, are among the major motives.
In order to give an equal voice in
conducting the organization to every
class and club, it is planned to have
the association consist of representa-
tives from every tennis organization
in the city. That, Of course, would
include every private club where ten
mis- courts are located, the Women's s
Tennis League and the National Cap
ital Parks Association.
The inclusion of the last named
by the private club members formu-
lating the movement dispels COM
pletely any feeling that there is grow
ing animosity between club and public
parks players. Most of the ranking
players, now club members, were pa
irons of public parks no less than a
year ago and are anxious to join hands
with their former colleagues.
Tom Mangan, president of the
Middle Atlantic Association, is enthu-
siastic about his home town forming
an organization Of its own and has
pledged the support of the sectional
body. If it goes through, it will be
the first time that local tennis as
sociation has received the sanction of
the Middle Atlantic governing group,
In addition to Doyle and Mangan,
Clarence Charest, long a familiar
name to Washington tennis, will back
the new association, thus providing

HARD LUCK FAILS

Loss of Big Titles Is Laid

~ a 20-year record in the national
open championship and lost by two
shots? They said that about Harry
after he watched Tony Manero finish
to grab the title the hard-luck Cooper
man had striven so long to win. They
said that this would be the final blow
that Harry would crumple under
the disappointment Of it all and
that never again would the sharp
shooting Chicagoan be an important
figure in q big tournament.
Harry's answer wasn't long forth
coming. All he did was win the st.
Paul open again for the fourth time,
in a play-off with Dick Metz. and
Harry today leads all the pros in the
chase for the Radix Cup, Offered to

Harry Is IndOmitable.

HARRY COOPER was born with
two strikes on him in so far as
major titles are concerned, but his
spirit hasn't been broken by that lick
ing he took in the recent jamboree
at BaltuSrol. II they always gave
him an early starting time where he
didn't have to fuss around and wait
for slower competitors to survey the
greens and make up their minds what
clubs to play, Harry would win a lot
of major titles. Harry is that kind of
golfer-a dashing, slam-bang type of
player who hits every shot quickly
and for all there is in it. Waiting Is
poison TO Harry. 1t cost him the ma
tional, where he had the i'll luck to
get behind Ralph Guldahl and Paul
Runyan, two of the slowest pros In
the game. Cooper had to wait 10
minutes on the seventeenth fairway
for the Runyan-Guldahl match to
putt out and for the gallery marshals
to clear the fairway. Ffdgeting around,
never still, he wore himself out with
worry and anxiety, like a hopped-up
race horse at the barrier. He hooked
his second shot to that seventeenth
badly, and finished SIS on holes
where normally he would have bagged
a brace Of Is.

Kammy. winner of the fee-course
