NEW YORK, Dec. IL The
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton compiled its national rankings
for 1916 today, rating trio OF
Californians at the top Of mems
singles list that contained more
surprises among the names omitted
than could be found in the lineup
itself.
Jack Kramer of Los Angeles,
Americas chief hope for the COM
ing Davis Cup matches in Australia,
was ranked first among the singles
players, which hardly is startling
since he captured the national
championship this year at Forest
Hills.
Parker Drops to Second.
frankie Parker OF Los Angeles,
national champion and No. player
Of 1914 and 1945 and runnerup to
Kramer in this years tourney, was
given the No. 2 rating as expected.
The third spot went to young
Tom Brown of San, Francisco, a
comparative unknown until his
strong showing last summer at
Wimbledon and Forest Hills, which
earned him a Davis Cup berth.
But such tested campaigners as
Ted Schroeder of Glendale, Calf,
top-ranking player and National
titlist in 1912 and now a member
OF the Davis Cup team; Elwood
Cooke of New York, No. 4 player
last year; Sydney Wood of New
York, No. in 1945; Hal Surface of
Kansas City, the eighth man last
year, and Bryan Grant of Atlanta,
Ca, were completely overlooked in
the associations new postwar re-
alignment.
