decides that the time is ripe
for him to make a ranking of

ranking is made. it is only natural
that there should be many readers
who disagree entirely with his ideas.
In spite Of this fact, I plan to make
list of those players whom I con-

YANKEELAND TOPS
ALL IN FACILITIES
Germany and Russia Making
Great Strides-American
Attitude Adopted.
(This is one of a series dealing
NTH sports interests throughout
the tDorld.)
BY DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The American youngster. from a
sports standpoint, is the most fortu-
nate in the world.
No other nation furnishes its youth
as we'll as adults, with such oppor-
tunities for participation in games and
athletics.
The system of paid coaches and
supervisors for sports has developed
much farther here than abroad.
Sporting equipment costs less than
in virtually any other country. Many
nations import sporting goods, and
prices are so high only the wealthy
can afford to play. Land for athletic
fields is plentiful in America, scarce
and expensive in many other nations
The United States Government
through the Works Progress Admin
istration and other agencies, has spent
millions of dollars in recent years pro-
viding sports fields and Fairgrounds.
Take to American Attitude.
OTHER countries are adopting the
American attitude toward sports,
however. Some, including Germany
Italy and Russia, have sport bureaus
and are spending government funds
on athletic fields, equipment and
tutors. Long having frowned on sport
the Chinese government also now
wishes to make its youth sport-con-
scious.
In Germany and Russia, particu-
larly, sports are part Of a vast ply
sical culture program.
First Secretary Herbert Schols OF
the German Embassy here, says Ger
many has made greater strides in
sports in the last three years than in
many years before.
Physical education is major point
Of the government program. Large
sums are spent to assure physical
training for all youths. Sports par
ticipation is emphasized in the army
as never before.
Many swimming pools, gymnasia
and stadia have been built by the
government. Huge amounts were ex-
pended to build stadia for the Olympic
Games at Berlin last Summer. And
these now will serve for important
sports exhibitions. The Olympic
Games served also to ignite interest
In sports among German boys and
girls.

will appear well up in the list, but his
lack of forcing shots will prove to be a
distinct stumbling block to his reach

Allison did not play a great deal
during the season, but showed suffi-
cient form to warrant his ranking. A
few unfortunate defeats early In the

Upsets Good For Game.


THE seaSon of 1886 showed us that
any ranking of the worlds best
players would be hazardous AFFAIR.
for there Is little TO choose between
any Of those whose names appear in
the latter half of the list. They de-
feat each other so often that any
thing may happen. and many a we'll
known writer has been known to make
predictions that have gone wrong"
when least expected. Perhaps such
situation is good thing. because,
without such upheavals of form, the
game would lack much Of its present
interest as far as the general public
Is concerned.
So then, here goes for my ranking:
/. Gottfried Won Cramm Ger
many.
2. Donald Bulge (U. s. AZ.
g. Adrian Quist (Australia).
4. H. w. Austin (Great Britain.
S. Jack Crawford (Australia).
6. Brian Grant (U. S. Al.
Z. Wilmer Allison (U. S. AZ.
8. Vivian McGrath (Australia).
9. Roderick Menzel (Czechoslo-
vakia).
10. Frank Parker U. S. A..
Christian Boussus France)
and Heiner Henkel Germany.
And now for the reasons that have
led NE to make it.
No Doubt About Won Cramm.
THERE can be no doubt about the
first position, a. Won Cramm not
only has won one Of the major cham
pionships-that Of France-but also
he reached the final Of Wimbledon
for the second year in succession. His
record in Davis Cup competition Is
one Of which any player could be
proud, as he won all the matches in
which he played with the exception
Of one game against Maier in BARGE
Iona. But as this game took place
after the outcome Of the match was
certain. such a defeat can be dis
counted as far as the actual ranking
Is concerned.
He defeated all-comers during the
early part OF the season on the Riviera,
annexed the French title in May. and
then reached the finals of Wimbledon
by means of a series of outstanding
victories. He did not play against
Bulge in 1896. But it is certain that
he would have defeated him in Europe,
whereas 1t Is equally certain that
Bulge would have won on American
soil.
Donald Bulge has made a big name
for himself in the last Summer and
is going well on the way to the cham
pionship this year. His Davis Cup
efforts against the Australians gave
him a good start and throughout all
his European trip he lost only one
match, and that was to me at VIM
biedon. On his return to America. he
proceeded to beat all the American
stars, and indeed. found himself in
a winning position when facing me IN
the national singles final last Sep
tember. 1t was costly lapse on his
part, but his victories prove that he
is the one who will fight it out with
Cramm next year for the title OF
champion of the world.
Quist Can Improve.

and all rated highly by cole
L giate ring followers, will be

an attempted Duke shot last Saturday
night, when the Terps bowed to the
Blue Devils, 31-34, in hectic game.
Evening star., 1937-01-21
Quist Can Improve.

TO ADRIAN QUIST must go the
= third place by dint Of his victory
in the Australian championship and
also his record In Europe. Throughout
the whole trip, he was defeated only
by Bulge, and, indeed, surprised US In
the Davis Cup matches by accounting
for Austin in four sets. He has q game
which can be improved upon. and I
think we shall hear q great deal about
Quist this Summer.
Austin never seems to do anything
sensational during the season until
Davis Cup play comes along and then
he really "goes to town" with q ven-
geance. His tournament appearances,
always rather few. do not meet with .
great deal Of success. but he never
seems to lose to any one ranked below
him. He lost to Won Cramm twice and
again to Quist and also Bulge, but
then beat Crawford in Davis Cup play
after handing Grant one Of his biggest
defeats of his career at Eastbourne.
Next comes Jack Crawford, the IA
orite from down under" He has
been the leading player Of the world
which was only three years ago. His
perfect technique and almost hawless
stroke production make him difficult
player to beat. He has beaten all those
ranked below him.

 This is not a fortunate day in planetary direction, according to as trology. While there is sign en- couraging to initiation, caution should be taken in every enterprise
 Under this sway the judgment may not be trustworthy. The most confident persons are likely to be the most lacking in wise fore thought.
 The planetary government presag- es conflicts of opinion which may cause controversies in legislative bodies and even clashes with arms.
 Fires may be more prevalent than usual this winter and in many cases explosions may accompany them. The stars are read as indicating the use of bombs in warfare to an extent mot previously employed
 There is a sign today that appears to promise for labor a slight ad- vantage that may be the precursor of extensive gains to wages and other desired advantages.
 One of the interests of the year will center in emigration to South Africa from England and Canada. American engineers. chemists and other trained scientists will find em- ployment in Rhodesia, Transvaal and other parts of Africa.
 Women's clubs will benefit this month when national problems will stimulate members to contribute their talents to public service.
 Severe weather will increase de- mands upon charitable institutions and philanthropic projects.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of year of advance ment in many ways. Financial matters should be satisfactory and there will be for many unexpected honors,
 Children born on this day prob ably will be meticu,ous in detail and yet, able to attain broad perspective. Subjects of this sign succeed in practical affairs. Many seek scientific vacations.
