Tilden and Arnold Jone?. of America, defeated M. Blanchy ann Jean Sama-euilh, France, fi?2. 6?3, 5?4. Tilden did not extend himself in his match against Flaquer, not playing his usnal aggresaive tennis. His opponent wss cor "eady throughout the match, but earned very few points, all the games won by Flaquer being the result of Tilden's errors, the world's grass court champion running into a streak of netting at one point and also frequently hittinf outside. In the last set, with Tiiden leading, five games to three, he made a succes s.on of errors which enabled the Span? iard to bring the score to deuce, but Tilden finally won the long drawn out se: bv superior placing and court itrategy when forced to exert himself. Tilden Wina With Ease T_? large crowd of spectators, with the exception cf the Americans, seemed to favor the Spaniard after the first set, which Tiiden won with consum m&te ease. cheering Flaquer each time a point was scored for him. Some criticism was also heard of Tilden, the corcp'aint being thst he was not ex tending himself. The American, however, was given a great cheer when, after the Spaniard had a point called against him for an out when the bail in fact had struck inside, Tilden purposely landed one outside, to even things up, as it ap? peared. Mrs. Mallory did not encounter se? rious opposition from Mile. Amblard. She displayed a better service and a more diversified game than her oppo? nent, consistently outplaying the Bel? gian champion. Her game marked an impruvement over her play yesterday in "the doubles and raised the hopes ?f her supportera for her chance against Mile. Suzar.ne Lenglen. Miss Sigourney had an easier time defeatirg Mme. Danet, than the score indicates. the American woman play? ing weli within her game at all times. Her play also was an improvement over yesterday's, as was the case with Mrs. Mallory. Mme. Danet is rated. amoncr the tirst ten of the women play? ers of France. Hicolas Mishu, of Fa.umar.ia, sprang the first surprise of the tournament by defeating Andre Gobert, the former Fre.ich champion, in straight sets, 6?3, 11?9,. 6?3. The series between Manuel Alonso, of Spain, and Jean Samazeuilh, the present French champion, resulted in oigh class tennis, Alonso showing a we.l-rour.ded game and agressive net play.

America to-day will rcvcrence the memory of her heroes fallen in threo necessary wars. The nation will not put on sackcloth and asKes: professional j mourning is out of date. RaUier. it will turn, as is its wont, from the j gloom that oppressod the world for fivo long years to the l.righter side. j Sports and recreationa of all aorts will hold sway throughout the land to | an cxtent known only on such speeial red letter days of sport as the F 01 th of July and Labor Day. Not only America, but the world in g*neral as well, has embraced | sport with a rapture unknown before the World War. Sport seems an | excellent cure-all for sorrowa. ?t also has proved the cornerstone of ; physical might in a nation, Yet it is pleasing to realize a fine sentiment underlies sport even of ! the professional blend, and particulariy baseball, which is our national ; game. At the Polo Grounds this afternoon will be unveiled a monument to the memory of Captain Edward Leslie Grant, 307th InWry, A. E. F., who was killed in actiou in the Argonne October 5, 1918. Captain Grant, moi.. familiarly known to fandom as "Eddie," was the only major league player called upbn to make the supreme sacrifice. | For many years he was a star infielder of the National League, ending hts professional -career with our Giants. He waa on McGraw's reserve li.t when he retired voluntarily (though above the draft age) to enter a training school for army officers. The New York Giants and the New York Chapter of tho Baseball jWriters' Association of America eponsored tha memorial which will be j unveiled at the Polo Grounds at 2 o'clock this afternoon. i ^ Grardland Rice presents the sentiment of all associated with baseball in e , oem written especially for the occasion and presented in full below; CAPTAIN EDWARD LESLIE GRANT Killed in Action?the Argonne?October 5, 1913 Far frcrm the Game and tha eheering of old, 4 crose in the Argonne will tell you the story Where each one may read on its rain-battered mold A final box score that is tvritten in glory.

Americans Have Hope in Miss Alexa Stirling ^ WEEK ago there was nothing but joy in the American golf camp abroad. The amateurs had jast cleaned up in the international team match through a brilliant display of golf. They entered the British cham? pionship tournament brimful of confidence, only to receive a staggering setback. The result was a complete catastrophe. However, the overthrow of our amateurs and particulariy of the big three?Evans, Ouimet and Jones?would not have been so disappointing had they been beaten by better golfers. Instead, thev lost because they played more poorly than their opponents. Our Grantland Rice said that only Fownes, Guilford and young Fred Wright went down fighting hard j and playing as well as they could. Ouimet also made a fairly good fight j of it, but he did not start fighting until too late. To young Wright should be given most of the credit for whatever showmg the Americans made. This courageous youth, playing gamely all the way, looked good even in defeat, as did Guilford. The same cannot.be . said of all of the others. Theirs was a sad debacle. Incidentally, the tournament proved there is no game which brings out the fighting quali? ties in a man better than this ancient pastime of the Scotch. These lines scarcely will be off the press before Miss Alexa Stirling American woman champion, will hav8 started her match with Miss Cecil Leitch, British title holder. Here are two thoroughbreds who are sure to prov.de a great battle. And it is safe to say that even if she is beaten our young miss from Atlanta will not succumb so easily as our male amateu stars did. California Athletes Find Place in Sun A^THLETIC prowess, it would seem, is taking or has taken Horace ; ' Greeley's advice. The Far West now can more than hold its own physically with the proud East. , That was a wonderful triumph for the Pacific Coast when a hand'ul of athletes of the University of California carried off the intercollegiate track and field championship of America. Ten men from the Far West ; wrested the title from the combined superior forces of all the big Eastern I universities. It was the first time the championship ha_ been lost to the East. The throne room of amateur athletica is located in the East. And the "throne" of occasion has been inclined to east aspersions on reported rec? ord performances on the far Pacific slope. California's victory, therefore will be regarded generally as vindication by the Native Sons. Those new intercollegiate champions had many difficulties to sur mount, not the least of which was acclimation. Then, too, they were sadly outnumbered, and especially so by Harvard, the runner-up, which had the advantage of a home field, The components of the small team were re? quired to double up in events in such way they could not always do full justice to their abilities. Their victory on that account is all the more noteworthy. Western Gameness Needs No Vindication 'yHERE is no question of Western gameness. Five times since 1013 California has come East to contest the field with the East At last the effort has been crowned with success. And the end is not yet. There is a California crew loitering in these parts which ia quite as | determined to sweep the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. Those who saw Cali ! fornia at Poughkeepsie several years ago will not be surprised if another title goes West. Hard pressed for funds and equipment, without proper facilities for training and instruction, the Californians nevertheless rowed one of the most courageous races ever seen in the East. And it is true ; they had to sell their shells to help defray traveling expenses home. With the -ennis < 'mmpions she has given this country; wi+h her Pad i dock, the human Man o' War; with the intercollegiate title tucked safely away, the State of California stands vindicated in sports irrespective of what her oarsmen may or may not do in the East. Miss Casel Beats Out Mrs. Le Roy in Final Miss Clare Cassel won the women's annual open lawn tennis tournament of the Montclair Athletic Club yesterday i afternoon by defeating Mi_. Robert Le i Eoy, of the West Side Tennis Club, at 7?5, 8?6, in the final round of tha j j touniey. It was one of the most evenly fought matches in the history of the i tournament, and it was only after call | ing upon all her knowledge of court ? ! craft that Miss Cassel was able to win. The heat seemed to slow both players up to some degree, but they were so evenly matched that the big gallery stayed to the finish, the result being in doubt until the final point had been won and lost. Mrs. Le Roy, covering court with her usual determination and centering her attack on a back-court driving duel, tried to keep h?r oppo nent from reaching tho net _? -n4tion. Miss Cassel, who was in rare form yes? terday, made use of bafRng change of pace, playing alternately short and deep and volleying beautifully. Carpentier Has Day Of Nothing But Resl MANHASSETT, N.

Gibbons Brothers To Feature Ebbets Field Boxing Card Carpentier To Be Introducerl From Ring; Kansas Fighls Delmont: Other Bouts Boxing will get away to a fiying start to-day, with five series of bouts carded as Memorial Day attractions, and right. up to the time of the Demp sey-Carpentier bout in Jersey City ? fistic progfams in local arenas will be ' crowded. The inrush of pugilists that ' invariably precedea a championhip ? bout, especially if the heavyweight title ; is involved, soon will be at the flood stage. Many of these boys will count j on earning expenses while here and, [ accordingly, John Publ.c is in for a ' i-are assortment of padded ring fes ; tivities. Topnotchers in many divisions of the flght game will offer their warea at bargain prices to promotera, who aro ' not to be caught off guard. Several new cluba have hung up their shingles ; in the last few weeks and several others will open shortly. Many of those now ! in business will run two shows a week i during June, and some already have j started the custom of double attrae I tions. The first pugilistic double-header of : the open-air scason will be staged this i afternoon at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, i where Tommy Gibbons, contender for j the world's heavyweight championship, ; and his brother Mike, the celebrated | St. Paul phantom, have plac.s on the I same program. Tommy will swap j punchee with Jack Clifford, recently of ! the Dempsey camp, and Mike is to try | conclusions with Dave Rosenberg. Added interest in the ball park at ' traction has been created by the an_ j nouncement that Georges Carpentier, | who is to meet Dempsey in the affair ; at Thirty Acres, will positively appear ! and be introduced from the ring. Car 1 pentier will be aecompanied to Brook ? lyn by Francois Deschamps, his man j ager. The Frenchman has ann.unceti ( that this will be his only publ^ ap j pearance before he meets Dempsey. The purpose of his trip will be to j give Tommy Gibbons a thorough in ; spection, because he realiz.es that if he ; wins from Dempsey the St. Paul heavy \ weight will camp on his trail until he ? gives him a crack at the coveted laurcl wreat.h. The Gibbons brothers are I scheduled to travel a route of twelve ! rounds and in a third bout, also of : twelve sessions, Andy Chaney will take ! on Dutch Brandt. The first bout will i be put on at 3 p. m. Another stellar attraction to-day will | be the combat at Ivanhoe Park, Ridge i wood, in which Rocky Kansas, of Buf i falo, will engage Gene Delmont, of i Memphis, in a tifteen-round battle. ! Kansas will meet Benny Leonard at i Harrison Field, N. J., next Monday in i a scrap that will involve the light : weight championship. If Kansas .ui i fers accident to-day it is unlikely that ! he will make the little journey to the Skeeter State. Delmont is a rough and ready boxer, ' and if the Buffalonian escapea un I scathed he may consider himself lucky. Kansas appears to be taking a big chance by meting Gene at this time, but he perhaps ftgureh it would be no use to tackle Leonard if Delmont can bow] him over. The Memphis boy .ays Rocky is due for a good trouncing to day, and he may be right. Opcn.air shows will be given this afternoon by the Brighton Beach Sporting rlub, Coney Island, and the Brighton Olub, Statcn Island. |The Freeport Auditorium will put on a big | card to-night indoors. Italian Joe Gans, who has been as ' s-isting Carpentier as a bparring part I ner, will leave the Manhasset camp I to-morrow for a trip to Woodhaven, where he is billed to clash with Lou ; Bogash, the Brideport welterweight, ! in a fifteen-round set-to, The Wood I haven Club is holding its bouts in the I open air at Dexter Park. Bogash is a tough boy and this alone I enables him to set a kiling pace. He ? evidently holds Italian Joe an unworthy > opponent, because Wednesday night ; the Bridgeporter will call at the Broad. 'way Exhibition Association and he has i little more to do than to leave his rd. Ilis antagonist at the Broadway .,. -.;!; be Walter Luurette. Waltcr is a handful for any welterweight, and after two such fracases it is doubtful if Mrs. Bogash will recognize Lou when he goes back home to spend the weeli end. Carpentier Shows More Interest In Training Than Jack Dempsey Confidence of'Champion Offset by Grim Deter mination of Challenger By C. F. Fitzgerald .Eight days with Georges Carpentier in his camp at Manhnssel, and five days spent in obscrving Jack Dempsey in Atlantic City have created brand-new impressions rclativo t(- the heavyweight championship tilt book<;d for Jersey City on July 2. Supreme confidence by the American defender is offset by grim dctermina tion on the part of his challenger. The gladiators themselves bcliove the fight will bc of brief duration and, judging by statements picked up ut close range, Carpentier and Dempsey will both en? ter the ring with the idea of ending thinga quickly. Tha champion and the Frenchman are training with great earnestness, but if one is more serious about the affair than the other the edge must be given to Carpentier. Every movement of the invading pugilist in his work bespeaks the great desire in his heart to uphold , the honor of France by tearing away the crown from the brow of his big American foeman. Carpentier in Better Shape Carpentier i? in infinitely better physical shape to-day than Dempsey, but it must bo taken into considera tion that the bout is more than a month away, and this may weigh against Georges. However, under the watchful eye of the experienced and tactful Francois Deschamps, who knows hia protegd from association that be? gan when Carpentier was a boy, it is difflcbL to conceive that the challenger will go stale or become overtrained. Deschamps undoubtedly knows far more about the physical make-up of Carpentier than Teddy Hayes has gleancd from comparatively short as: sociation with Dempsey. The purpose of Hayes appe&rs to be to let Jack tako life comparatively easy until about the middle of June, when he expects hot weather will have set in, and then to send the champion on at a lightning pace that will have attained its great est momentum on the day of the fight. If that is the plan, Dempsey would be sent into the pit at Thirty Acres prepared to travel at top speed from the tirst gong and finish Carpentier early. Failing in this, Hayes doubtless tigures the titleholder is sufficientlv sturdy to take punishment from Car? pentier for a few rounds and then come back late in the fight, as he did with Bill Brennan, and get his man. I'renchman'a Plan of Combat The Frenchman is apt to weaken as the bout progresses and every gong that is sounded after the tirst one will matarially lesscn his chances of vic? tory. The Carpentier plan ot" combat is laid bare every time lie undcrtakes a work-out. Speed, as has been said , often since the Frenchmen itarted to train at Manhasset, i3 to be his chief i reliance. Georges tears into his sparring part- j ners with a vengeance. Dempsey takes | things?or has so far?-comparatively i easy when there is a man in the ring with him. Jack makes no attempt whatever to box with his adversaries at camp and invariably takes many . more blows than he administers. Georges never relaxes. He dodges every blow aimed rt him and always strike.- back in tleadly earnestness. ! Sometimes he will pull a blow or misa intentionally and invariably he makes I this evident. The life of a sparring partner at j Manhasset just now is much more i hazardous than at the Airport. As a ! matter of fact, Dempsey is r.ot going j full steam ahead and doubtless will I not let himself loose before June 15. On numerous occasions Carpentier ! has let go with all the foree in his , arms and shoulders in a demonstra tion of his famous "flying punch," but fortunately none of his partners have come in contact with one of these ] spectacular wallops. Carpentier recovers quickly after j strjking a blow of this variety, and in > hig exhibitions has followed it with i shifty footwork while in a crouching position. Dempsey a Harder Hitter If he should stumble or falter ,n the execution of one of these pile-j drivers, invariably etaged with the right hand as the apex of the wedge, | he undoubtedly would put himself at! the mercy of an opponent of Dempsey's ? skill. There is no doubt that Dempsey can j hit much harder than Carpentier and for that reason the challenger will I have to occupy a lot of his time f.gur ing how to keep out of reach, espe- ; rially if he fails in his tirst onslaught.; If Georges tinds he can hit Dempsey1 at will, he is very apt to pick out gome vital spot and play a tattoo there. He is a very accurate hitter and the combined force of several blows to the same locality would counterbalance the handicap Dempsey holds in the power of one punch. The air of victory pervades the Dempsey strcnghold. Hundreds of let? ters received daily are addressed only "The Champion, Atlantic City, N. J.," and Uncle Sam delivers; them forthwith to tho headquarters ?stablished by Jack Kearns in the Alamac Hotel. Only letters from personal friends are delivered to Jack and some of these are withheld. Kearns has found it advisable to curb the champion's feel ing of confidence for fear it mav cause him to let up a bit in training. He , doesn't believe it advisable to consider l Carpentier in any light but that of 1 leading contender for the heavyweight championship and an extremely dan gerous opponent. Kearns considers Dempsey in almost perfect condition and he 0. K.'d the order of Trainer Hayes to let the con ditioning process lag until the time comes to get on edge for the supreme test. Champion Cuts Loose ln Boxing Exhibition With Three Partners ATLANTIC CITY, N\ J., May 29.? Boxing in the burning heat of a mid afternoon sun, Jack Dempsey cut loose to-day for the first time since he be? gan training, and Larry Williarns, a 180-pounder from Bridgeport, Conn., was dangerously near a knock-out after boxing two rounds. Dempsey boxed six furious rounds, taking William.. Leo Houck and Irish Patsy Cline, a light weight, on for two rounds eseh. Williarns gave Dempsey the _ best work-out of the day. After setting a lively pace in the first round, Williarns cros.sed the champion with a right-hand punch to the chin soon after the start of the s*cond. Dempsey tore into Wil? liarns. Williarns was diszy and sag gjng at the knees when the rour.d ended. When the champion faced Houck he eased up, but ClijT*. who came into the ring for the final two rounds, was roughly handled. Cline forced Dempsey to step the fastest two rounds of the afternoon. Dempsey koocked Cline flat with a right-hander in the first round.

Oarsmen Meet In Big Harlem Regatta To-day 50,000 Expected to See Memorial Day Scullers iu Action oji River Here By Jack Lawrence Tho most important rowing meet held in N'ew York waters in more than a decade will be staged on the Harlem river to-day when the New York Row? ing Association engages in its annual Memorial Day regatta. The big rowing carnival is expected to be witncssed by 50,000 persons, the | Speedway, parallHing the entire course, j making a natural reviewing stand that | will bc free to the public. The contending scullers, represent ing the best oarsmen in the East, will get busy promptly at 9:30 a. m., when the starters ln the flrst heat of the junior singles will be sent away. From that hour until late in the afternoon the maritime pageaut will be in con tinuous operation, except for two hours in the middle of the day. Junior Race a Featare According to the schedule arranged last night by the referee, it is ex? pected that the junior singles will be out ouf the way by 10 a. m. and that the first heat of the junior eight-oared contest can be started at that hour. This race pro>mises to be one of the features and should provide some real thrills. The first heat will bring into competition for the first tima Jim Rice's Columbia freshman crew. The freshmen will meet eight-oared combi? nations representing the Potomac Boat Club and the New Rochelle Rowing Club. The second heat of the eight-oared event will bring together the New York Athletic Club, the Union Boat Club and ! the Columbia junior varsity. The lat | ter crew should be in the fight to the last stroke. The New York A. C, crew has been put through a long and arduous train? ing season by Jim Wray, former head coach at Harvard, and is said to be in splendid shape. They are husky oarsmen and are regarded as decided favorites for the final honors. Jack Kelly and Paul Costello, who won the Olympic doubles at Antwerp and who captured the Schuylkili Chal lenge Cup with hardly an effort Sat? urday at Philadelphia, will represent the Vesper Boat Club of that city in the double sculls this afternoon. They are looked upon as almost certain win ners, but they should be given an in \ teresting race by the Shea brothers, of the Nonpareil Rowing Club. Two or three post entries may be made in this event. Kelly Out of the Singles It had been expected that Kelly, ?who also was victorious in the Olympic sin? gles, would enter the senior struggle this afternoon against Harry Heller, of the Lone Star Boat Club, singles cham? pion of the New York Rowing Associa? tion, and Louis Zoha, of the First Bo hemian Boat Club. Kelly wired the local officials that he would not start, and it seems certain that Heller and Zoha will repeat the thrilling duel they had one year ago over the Harlem course. The only entry received for the sen? ior eight-oared event came from the Union Boat Club, but it w-S believed last night that at least iwo other crews would be brought in. An interesting feature of the pro? gram will be the race between school boy eights. This contest will bring to? gether the New Rochelle High School and the Central School ot Washington, D. C, winners of a similar event in the Henley regatta at Phil_delphia Satur De Palma Is j Man of Hour In Auto Ciassic Frenchman Favored to Win, but Hc Will Be Haras-o*. and Harried by Rivals By J. C. Burton INDIANAPOLIS, May 29.?If Thomas A. Edison wants to add another baf fiing question to his already infamous list he could do no better than to ask this: "Who is going to win tc-morrow's 600-mile race on the Indianapolis Speed? way ?" For nobody around here knows tha answer, although there are more than 100,000 now waiting for the running of the $100,000 speed ciassic, ready to voice almost as many opiniocs based on every known variety of dope. Of all the hundreds of conjecturee rampant on the e-ve of the race, only this one thing is certain: Ralph De Palma, the rultng favor.te. is a markcd man. As far as car speed is concerned, De Palma is sitting pretty, for his French Ballot has shown itseif to be at. least a second to the lap faster than any of its twenty-two rivals, but there De Palrna's margin of safety end*. From the time the starting bomb e:c plodes unti! the checkered flag flecks the winner's hood De Palma will be harassed and harried aa no other driver in the Indianapolis race has ever been harassed and harried before. Every driver in the field is convinced that he must beat De Palma to coras home in front, and every driver haa laid his plans accordingly. Consequently, the race will not be driven at a safe speed, but a D?s Palma beating speed, and that means a epeed so fast that both the Ballot and the faster cars that will be puBhing De Palma to the limit may prove unequal to the strain and drop out disablea be? fore the five hundred miles are com? pleted. This may result in the elimination of those cars that are thought to have the best chance of racing De Palma on al? most even terms?the Frontenacs, of Tommy Milton and Ralph Mulford, and the Due?-nbergs, of Joe Boyer and Jimmy Murphy?and leave the winning of the clai-'sic to slower cars piloted by more conservative and lighter-footed drivers. In fact, many. of the dopesters look to see Howdy Wilcox, in the Peugot. Roscoe Saries, in the Duesenberg, and Eddie Hearne, in the Revere s:peciai, the most dangerous contenders at 35'> or 400 miles. Yale Professor Denies Crew Coach Will Quit Svecial Diapateh to The Tribune NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 29.?Tho report that Guy Nickalls, the Yale crew coach, has been suspended and mav not be given charge of the varsity squad again this year was to-night em phaticaily denied by Professor Clarence Mendell, ch?irman of the general ath ? letic committee, who said that there v.-as no truth in the report.' He said tl.at Nickalls took the Yale 150-pound crew to Philadelphia to en? ter the Americart Hcr.iey and that the coach will call the varsity squad to gether on Tuesday and plan for the final race of the season, the four-mile bout with Harvard at New London. Nickalls has decided to utilize the services of Jim Corderry, the former English sculler and proi'essional coach. in such matters as the rigging and fundamentals of the stroke." He will probably make some changes in the Yale crew when it reports next Tues? day.

Fl_'b_?h .(Vwm Ranking of Women Net Stars Undergoes Drastic Shake-Up By Fred Hawthorne It is a courageous thing that the women's advisory committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association has done in making a drasfic rerank-. ing of the leading women players of the country. Mrs. George W. Wight man, former national champion and ohairman of the committee, made the new ranking list public yesterday, and among the fify-four players listed there are many ehanges from the original list. Coming so long after the first official list was made public, there is certain to be more or less controversy over the ehanges now announced, yet the . 11 mittee has t_kee the bnly correct | attitude and one which I am sure the I majority of tennis players will indorse when all the circumstances are made known. * When the ranking list was originally made- public last winter there was a j storm of protest from all quarters over what was felt to be a most unfortunate i placing of the leading players. Some ! of the selections were so glaringly bad that it did not seem possible the j committee had taken time to go over the season's records. An investigation proved that the work had been done hurriediy after the first six places had been assigned, the other places being seiected in a purely hapha_ard fashion. First Six Places Unchanged Mrs. Wightman, who is as keen a I judge of lawn tepnis valuesias there is j in this country, then went to work to ! reetify matters which had not orig j inaliy been under her personal super i vi.ion and, with the cooperation of her committee, made an exhaustive i atudy of the tournament records. After j several months of the most careful | research work in this connection the I committee made public the new rank-1 ing last night. The first six places remain un I changed as foilows: No. 1, Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory; No. 2, Miss Marion j Zinderstein; No. 3, Miss Eleanor Ten j nant; No. 4, Miss Helen Baker; No. 5, I Miss Eleancr Goss, and No. 6, Mrs. ! Edward Raymond. The tirst change comes in the ousting | of Miss Marie Wagner from the No. 7 position to No. 10, wheje she more j rightlv belongs. A cursory glance over Miss Wagner'a tournament record dis closes what seems like an imposing li3t of victories, but when these are analyzed we fmd that there are few high ranking players among her vic tims and there were few tournaments of national importance in which thia pluyer competed last seaaon. An Important Precedent I consider this particular case to be the most important in the entire list, for the reason that it pintos a moral, namely, that no player can go through a season of competitive play, taking part in only minor events and remain j ing absent from fielda in which high ranking players compete, and expeet to receive equai- consideration with those who take their' chances in a! lpng and severe court campaign. To place these two classes of players ; on the same plane would be nothing less than an injustice to those who \ take their chances of meeting defeat j at, the hands of those who rank above ? them, and I, for one, am eiad to see i that the committee has the courage of j ity convictions. Miss Helene Pollak, former national '? indocr champioft, takes Mias Wagner's ' place, with Miss Edith Sigourney ad- j vancing from 9 to 8, and Miss Florence \ Ballin from 14 to 9. The latter de- j feated Miss Wagner in the final round of the Lontc Island championship tour nament last year. The full revised list follows: I Former 1920 Ranking I 1. Mrs. Franklin Mallory. ?j 2.
