A lighting systew, the invention of an English tennis player, by which the game may be plaved in the open air at any time of night, soon will be available to the British public, according to a London newspaper. Tennis is a very difficult game to be played by artificial light. and practi- cally all the systems that have been tried either have failed to meet the re- quirements or have been too expensive. Under the new system the great drawback of intense reflection that has proved the main fault in the past is said to be removed and that the ball can be seen perfectly throughout its flight. Then, too. the new system is said Lo be economical. i the cost of lizhting a court being |less than 25 cents an hour. It Ix very unlikely that Tilden will defend his title of world champion at Wimbledon, England, next .June. He has gone over and won two years in succession, and says that in_addition to not having the time and where- withal to spare for the trip, he can get all the tennis competition that is desired in America. It is indicated that Watson Wash- burn will be placed at No. 1 in the ranking list of the Metropolitan Asso- ciation. He will be given precedence over Vincent Richards, according to report. but for what reason is mnot made olear, but probably because the youth did not compete in near so many events in the sector as his more veteran rival. The remainder of the list_goes like this: 3. S. Howard Vo- shell; 4. Ichiva Kumagae; 5. Dean Mathey; 6. Frank Anderson; 7. Fred Anderson; 8. Walter Hall; Ward; 10. Herbert L. Bowman.
