Y, national singles champion for 1918, is -given the place of homor among the ranked tennis players of ‘the country for the season just closed, according to the 'official announcement of the National Ten- nis Associatiom:’ Bracketed with Mur- ray in class one is W. P. Tilden, Jr., of Philadelphia while F. D. Alexan- der of New York is placed in Class 2. Grouped in Class 3. are W. M. Hall, New York; W. T. Hayes, Chicago; and N, W. Niles, Boston.

The placing of Murray in first place, class 1, closes a.controversy, of sev- eral months’_standing as to whether Murray or Tilden would receive pre- mier honors in this respect. Murray's ranking is based entirely. upon his showing in the national singles cham- pionship tournament which he . won with a decisive defeat of Tilden in the final round. ¥ Among the doubles teams ’‘Tilden ard Vincent Richards of New York are placed in Class 1 together with F. B.-Alexander and B. C. Wright while N. W. Niles and P. R. Pell hold class 2. Miss Molla Bjurstedt of New York, the Norwegian player, leads the wo- men experts with Mrs. .George W.
