Demp sey has consented to a percentage figure for his work, and Carpentior \s daily expected to cable his accept- ance of similar terms. Meanwhile the construction of Rickard Arena may by started and, as Tex himself says, it wit be of such a size as to permit “the man on the street” to see the mill for a reasonable price. In other words, Rickard promises he will make par- bar el igor | to provide for those who cannot afford to pay fan Tor seats, He arranged Wa areea et Toledo with that idea in view, only there he found that, because of lim- ited train serviegs from nearby sec- tions, due to War time’ exactions, these folk were unable to get to the big show.

ST WEE! “4 Tro ‘Big Tennis Fight To-Day Over Ranking of Players some of the delegates as the villains. 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. They are armed with the ammunition lawn tennis form topsy-turvy by placing some players higher than they deserve and some lower than they care to be. The delegates are determined to got a new deal on the ranking ques- tion. Some of them go so far as to predict that instead of the customary vote to pass the ranking as issued, it may be oaneclied and a revision’ ordered. If this is accomplished it, will be one of the most revolutionary acts ever recorded at the annual ses-| Bion of the lawn tennis solons, Chief interest In the meeting to- day centres on the awarding of the National Championship Tournament, for which Philadelphia and Forest Hills are in the field; an important revisio# of the @mateur rule; choice of courts for Davie Cup matches, and) the rearrangement of the ranking. | Confirmation was given a: the head-| quarters of the United States Lawn} Tennis Association yesteraay to the announcement by cable in The World ‘Thursday that the British Isles had mailed a challenge for the Davis Cup, captured by William T. Tilden 24 and William M, Johnston on the courts of New Zealand last December and now held by this country. A cable message also wus received from Australia that a challenge for the famous trophy had been mailed to) insure its arrival in this country on or before March 15, In accordance with the rule governing a declaration for the cup, which is emblamatic of the world’s team lawn tenuis cham- plonship. - This means that three challenges are on the way, as It was announced several days ago that Spain had en- tered the lists and that a forma! chal- lenge was being forwarded, France, Belgium, Canada, South Africa and possibly one or two other nations may join issue, arcording to statements that have beeo inade from time to time. « ‘The feeling seems to be general that the Davis Cup matches, at least tho challenge round, will be played on the courte of the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills, L. 1, early in Septem- ber, This important question, how- ever, will be definitely gettled at the annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, in the Ho- tel MoAlpin this evening.
