What Of The Future?

THE RANKING LISTS

So, after years of negotiations and announcements and contradictions and hesitations, F. J. Perry has at last definitely Joined the professional ranks, writes a Home Paper Lawn Tennis correspondent. Nobody will blame him. He is married: he has his living to make; he is twenty-seven years 'old; he has HOTEL

every championship there is to win; he has put, and kept, Eng- land on top of the tennis world for four years; now he very rea- sonably thinks that it is time he made some money for himself, and his many friends will wish him the best of luck.

ANTISEPTIC BREATHEABLE TABLETS

He has certainly chosen the right time. The holder or the English and American champion- snips is a big fish for the promo- tera of "exhibition" tennis to catch but I have not the least doubt Perry has made a very satis- factory bargain for himself. Last July, only a few days before he salled for America, I had a long į talk with him at dinner one even- ing in Leicester, where he had been playing some exhibition ten- nis in pouring rain; and he made it, even then, pretty clear that if he was successful in regaining the championship of the U.S.A.,' he would take advantage of being "on top of the world," and accept a suficiently attractive offer to go over to the professional side of the game,

He ought to do very well in a series of matches with Ellsworth Vines and in a tour, if satisfactory arrangements car be made, with Tilden's "circus." along with Vines, Nusslein, Cochet, Tilden himself, | Lott, and Stoefen. Probably the Perry-Vines matches will be the ones which will attract the biggest, gates, because Vines has made his claim good to be as much the best

of the professionals as Perry was of the amateurs. I watched Vines playing in the professional cham- planship at Wembley in the late autumn of last year, and was not very favourably impressed. For a man who was said to have im- proved enormously, he' was ex- trernely

erratic. and was very nearly beaten by Stoefen in a match in which both players ap- peared to rely entirely cr. their service and volleying, and neither had any control of the ball off the ground. If Perry becomes per- sonally (apart from financially) keen about professional tennis I don't think he should have much difficulty in fully holding his own with Vines. The last time he played him he beat him, in a Da-. vis Cup match in Paris in 1833, the year he and Austin won the cup: and If Vines has improved since then, Perry has undoubtedly im- a great deal more. He beat Cochet on the same

O Sharpe. Ritchie, and Jones the last-named has advanced in his play, though put down from tenth place to twelfth. Sharpe can scarcely be expected to have improved, and Ritchie has done very little. Of those who have not found a place in the list H. Buling- ton, M. D. Beloford and R. A. Shayes probably had hopes of in- clusion. All of them have beaten players whose names appear in it. But obviously the difficulty "of making a list. increases with the length of it, and L.T.A. have done wisely in sticking to their normal dozen.
