Oct ;ti. tVallis flyers writing to the “Daily Telegraph,” acclaims the following as the order of the world's ten btst tennis players: Tilden. .lolmston. Patter.son, Richards. Anderson. Corbet. . O'Hara Wood, W illianis. Kingsrote. Cohort, lie adds that there will he no dispute as to the lirst two. I have always considered Tilden intellectually superior to .lolmston on the court, he also possession a capacity to raise his name to the highest standard at the : moment of greatest peril, even in the , lilth set. Patterson's victory at Wimbledon entitled him to third place, llis service has been a dominating feature of his record, but those able to return 1 it confidently exposed Patterson’s limi-

tations. Anderson was a little uu- ! lucky at Wimbledon, and uuhickier i still .in being ill in America, prior ti-

the Davis Cup. He is a finer stroke player than Patterson, and not unequal to the latter as a match i>layer; # Cochet’s l-est is still to come. He showed himself a better grass player in America than England. O’Hara Wood suffered from Lis shoulder in America, when beaten by Coclict. Alonso played finely against Audi rsun at Wimbledon. llis record in the doubles, es-

pecially the Davis Chip matches, on titled him to seventh place.
