Hunter (lower left) rivals for the runner-up position. By F. G. VOSBURGH (Feature Service Sports Editor) NEW YORK, ¥sb. 10—Twon young middle-westerners who downed French opponents in 1927 and may be called upon to do it again this year, are sure to fig- ure high in the ranking of Ameri- can players to be announced by the United States Lawn Tennis Association in Chicago tomorrow, Certain of making the first ten, George Lott, Chicago youth of 21, and John Hennessey of Indianapo- lis are even conceded a chance of breaking into the first five, a class usually occupied by seasoned veterans, While young, however, neither Lott nor Hennessey is a new- comer to big-time tennis. Hen- nessey ranked seventh in country and Lott ninth in 1924, while the Chicago player was No. 9 again last year. On the basis of their sensational work last season, marked by a victory for Lott over the great Rene Lacoste, present king of them all, and for Hennessey over Henri Cochet, Lacoste’s compatri- ot, these youthful stars probably will be rated at least a notch or two higher than ever before. In A. Wallis Myers’ “World's First Ten” Bill Tilden, who is pure to be first for the eighth successive time, topped the Amer- fcans, with Manual Alonso second, Francis T. Hunter, third, - Lott fourth and Hennessey fifth. It is hard to see how the U. 8. L. T. A, can alter this lineup of the first five. The next five is not so easy t> predict; especially if the tenmis governing body sees fit to include such players as Bill Johnson and A. H. Chapin, Jr., who played 5o little tournament tennis, there is small basis for ranking them. 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 foy- feited their chance for ranking because of inactivity. For the last five places in the ‘new first ten there is red-hot com- petition between such young stars as Lewis N. White, John Doeg, John Van Ryn, Arnold Jones, Wil- ‘mer Allison, Fritz Mercur and ' White, the handsome Texan, “who was sixth last year, probahly will hold that rating, baving beat- the | en out the young Californian, Doeg, for the place by defeating him twice during the last season. | In similar fashion Manuel Alon- | 80 has' re-asserted a right to his jold ,place as runner-up to Tilden |at the top of the list. Francis T. Hunter, who hadn’t made the fi’st | ten since 1923 and ranked but | twelfth last year, was coming fast |and appeared sure to be rated jsecond to Tilden, his doubles par*. ner and close friend, until the Philadelphia Spaniard defeated him at Newport late in the sea- son. Evem yet he might be ac corded second place on the basis of a truly remarkable campaign at home and abroad. 1 There is a story in the reap- | pearance of John = Hennessoy among the top ranking stars. In 1924, when he ranked in the first ten, he was handicapped by a somewhat frail physique, but witn the aid of plenty of tennis he de- veloped a ruggedness of frame jand a stamina which enabled him to dpwn the tenacious Henri Co- chet in the national champiou- ships in a long-drawn five-sot match. ’ This feat ranked second only t> Lott’s vietory - over Lacoste at Southampton, N. Y., and over Til den early in the year in Florida, among the major upsets of th- year. In addition, both Hennessey and Lott were victorious over mera- bers of the French Davis Cup team in doubles. [FEATHERWEIGHTS BATTLE TONIGHT| NEW YORK, Feb. 10—After a year of dickering, with little ring action, it is believed the monot- ony of the featherweight division, once the stamping grounds of many great fighters, appears to |be headed out of fistic obscurity. Tony Cansoneri, New York Italian, and Benny Bass, of Phila- delphia, are scheduled to start the featherweight movement tonight in a 15-round contest for the 126 pound championship.

Tonight at 8 e'clock in the Nat at Douglas, the first game of the doubleheader betw2en Douglas High School ‘and Juneau Higi School will be called. It will ve between the girls’ teams, and the boys' game Wil start shortly af |terwards. | Dope on the gam> is rather buried in the upsets in power and the swinging back and forth of the championship cup. Right now the championship is closer .to Ju- neau than to Douglas by virtue ot the Hilltoppers’ win over the Islanders last Friday night. An edg> on the girls’ contest should be conceded to Douglas. In all three games these teams have played, there have been real | battles, while in the last fracas, won by Douglas, the Islanders put up a good game and won by 19 points. Tonight they will be on their own floor with a win im- perative if they would remain in the running. ! Both boys' teams should be i given even chances to win. Both teams have slumped this season, although the Juneau boys “have been playing better with each game, aside from their contest with the Alaska College, and have two straight wins over Douglas. If the Island team puts up a game as good as some of those early in the secason the Hilltoppers will have to travel to keép ahead. | A special ferry, leaving Juneau at 7:15 o'clock this evening, will take rooters across to the game and the first contest will be call- ed at 8 p. m.
