Tennis Rankings

The U. S. Lawn Tennis Association announced its 1926 rankings last week. Men's singles:

No. 1--W. T. Tilden, Philadelphia. No. 2--M. Alonso, Fullerton, Pa. No. 3--T. Harada, Boston. No. 4--W. Johnston, San Francisco. No. 5--E. Chandler, San Francisco. No. 6--L. White, Austin, Texas. No. 7--A. Chapin, Springfield, Mass. No. 8--B. Norton, Dallas. No. 9--G. Lott, Chicago. No. 10--G. King, New York.

Women's Singles: No. 1, Molla Mallory; No. 2, Elizabeth Ryan; No. 3, Eleanor Goss; etc.

Vincent Richards and Mary K. Browne by their able play in 1926 amateur tournaments were entitled to the rankings of No. 1 and No. 3 respectively. But, because they are now professionals, the association ousted them from the rankings.

Helen Wills, 1925 leader of the women, ill during most of the 1926 tournaments, does not appear in the new list.
