THE seRUICE IN HeRe s GETTING T BE TERRIBLE SLORE TENS RANKING Delegates tot Fight for Revision of Method at National Association Meeting Today. NEW YORK, February 5.—Final rehearsal of what one dclegate cali- ed a farce comedy, entitled “Making a Ranking,” was held yesterday by several of the sectional delegates to the annual meeting of the United States Tennis Association, being held at the Hotel McAlpin today. According to delegates from the west and as nearby as Philadelphia, the present ranking has a crazy-quilt look. It does not match up with the sectional and divisional rankings in several, not to say many, instances. The delegates are defermined to Zet a new deal on the ranking ques tion. Some of them go so far as to predict that instead of the custom- ary vote to pass the ranking as is- sued, it may be canceled and a revi- sion ordered. If this is accomplish- ed it will be one of the most revo- lutionary acts ever recorded at the annual session of the tennis solons. One of the western delegates de- clared that he intended to offer a recommendation that would prevent injustice and confusion another year. He proposes that the national list is not to be compiled until the re- ports of the sectional and divisional rankings have been submitted, in an effort to prevent what he called fla- grant mistakes in the list as it ap- pears this year. Much interest in the meeting a centers on the awarding of the na- tional championship tournament, for which Philadelphia and Forest Hills are in_the field; an important revi- sion of the amateur rule, and choice of courts for Davis cup matche: Al other subjects have thrashed out and are only up for the formality of review.
