FOR DAVIS CUP Are) in Young Middlewesterners * Sure to Rank High U.S.L.T.A. Ratings TILDEN WILL BE FIRST) Plenty of Competition Is Evi- dent Among Other Lads For Last Five Places BY F. G. VOSBURGH (Feature Service Sports New York, Feb. 7.—(AP)—Two | young middle-westerners = who downed French opponents in 1927 and may be called upon to «do it) again this year are sure to figure) high in the ranking of American players to be announced by the Unit- ed States Lawn Tennis Association in Chicago February 11. | Certain of making the first ten. George Lott, Chicago youth of 21, and John Hennessey of Indianapolis are even conceded a chance of break-| ing into the first five, a class usually occupied by seasoned veterans. | While young, however, neither Lott nor Hennessey is a newcomer to big-time tennis. Hennessey ranked} seventh in the country and Lott} ninth in 1924, while the Chicago| tor) player was No. 9 again last year. ile On the basis of their sensationa work last season, marked by a_vic-| tory for Lott over the great Rene Laeoste, present king of them all,/ and for Hennessey over Henri Cochet, Lacoste’s compatriot, these youthful stars probably will be rated at least a notch or two higher than ever before. a In A. Wallis Myers’ “World's First Ten” Bill Tilden, who is sure to be) first for the eighth successive time, | topped the Americans, with Manuel ‘Alonso second, Francis T. Hunter third, Lott fourth and Hennessey fifth. It is hard to see how the U. S. L. T. A. can alter this lineup of the first five. The next is not so easy to pre- dict; especially if the tennis govern- ing body sees fit to include such players as Bill Johnston and A, H.! Chapin, Jr., who played so little tournament tennis, there is small basis for ranking them. E Besides Johnston and Chapin, three other members of last year’s first ten—Takeichi Harada, Edward G, Chandler and Brian I. C. Norton —practically have forfeited their chance for ranking because of inac- tivity. For the last five places in the new first ten there is red-hot competi- tion between such young stars as Lewis N. White, John Doeg, John Van Ryn, Arnold Jones, Wilmer Al- lison, Fritz Mercur and Frank Shields. White, the handsome, Texan, who was sixth last year, probably will hold that rating, having beaten out the young Californian, Doeg, for the pl by defeating him twice during it season. ilar fashion Manuel Alonzo has re-asserted a right to his old place as runner-up to Tilden at the top of the list. Francis T. Hunter, who hadn't made the first ten since last year, was coming fast and ap- Peared sure to be rated second to Tilden, his doubles partner and close friend, until the Philadelphia Spaniard defeated him at Newport late in the season, Even yet he might be accorded second place on the basis of a truly remarkable cam- paign at home and abroad, There is a story in the reappear- ance of John Hennessey among the t-p ranking stars. In 1924 when he ranked in the first ten he was handi- capped by a_ somewhat frail physique, but with the aid of plenty of tennis he developed a ruggedness of frame and a stamina which en- abled him to down the tenacious Henri Cochet in the national cham- pionships in a long-drawn five-set match. This feat ranked second only to Lott's victory over Lacoste at South-| 7 ampton, N. Y., and over Tilden early in the year in Florida, among the major upsets of the year. In addition, both Hennessey and Lott were victorious over members of the French Davis Cup team in doubles, St. Mary’s Five Loses to Solenites, 16-15 Solen, N. D., Feb.

Genaro won the title by eas J a decision victory over Frenchy Be- langer in a 10-round bout here last night. Belanger captured the N. B. A. championship two months aye and defended it successfully. le recently when he won a_ decision over the man who dethroned him. Genaro led from the start. For the most part he depended upon his superior boxing ability to give him the edge, but at times he flung caution to the winds and slugged away, toe and toe, with his Cana- dian foe. Belanger’s ieft eye was badly swollen early in the fight and Genaro opened a cut over the other soon afterwards.
