William Tilden Again Tops List in National Singles Ranking for 1925 - ® Municipal Baseball Directors to Plan Annual Mass Meeting ‘Bill” Johnston Ranked Third; 1 Richards Second Helen Wills, Sensational Cali fornia School Girl, Placed First in Women's [ly VINCENT RICHARDS. EW YORK. Jan. 54. I —William T. Til den, national sin gles champion, again heads the national men’s ranking list for the coming year. Helen Wills. sensational Berkeley school girl. Is placed in first position in the women’s list. The most note worthy change in (he men’s ranking is the placing of William M. Johnston in third place, end my being moved up to second position. This Is Just as much a shock to me as it has been to all the followers of the game. •'Little Bill” has been rated second to the champidn for the last three years and his sudden fall to third place on the list will be strongly criticized by his supporters. Altliough the advancement of youth is noticeable in the annual list, the younger players have not tlie ranking field to themselves, for several veterans, who staged re markable tennis comebacks in 1924, have succeeded in advancing their positions among the first five of a year ago, but three are listed in tliis year’s list. Howard O. Kinsey takes quite a jump when his name is placed in fourth position. Wal lace F. Johnson, veteran of many tournament campaigns, is placed No. 5, while Watson M. Washburne. Davis cup star, is given the sixth position in the coveted circle. This selection will also be criticized on the ground that Washburne spent most of the past summer playing in Europe as a member of the Olympic team. R. N. Williams and F. T. Hunter, both members of the Olympic team, were not ranked because of insufficient data. Wil liams suffered an Injury to liis ankle during one of the early rounds of the Olympic champion ship and played very little tennis after his return to America. Harvey Snodgrass, California star, occupies No. 7, while Johnny ljpn nesaey, of the middle west, is placed one position below him. The placing of Helen Wilts first on the women’s Ust was to be ex pected. Mary K. Browne, who staged a. marvelous comeback during the year, fully deserved her rank aa No. 2 in the classification of the country’s best. Mrs. Molla Mallory, former holder of the national cham pionship, drops back a place to make loom for the Los Angeles girl. Eleanor Goss Is ranked fourth, with Mrs. Jessup in fifth place. Miss Martha Bayard occupies sixth posi tion, with Miss Mayme MacDonald, Mrs. B. F. t’o'le, Miss Molly D. Thayer and Miss Leslie Bancroft fol lowing in the order named. As is usually the case In rank ing national champions the lvinscy brothers are placed No. 1 in the men’s doubje* ranking, while Wil liams M. Johnston and C. J. Grif fin retain No. 2, as a year ago; F. T. Hunter and myself are placed third, with Williams and Wash hurne following. A new team ap pears at No. 5 in the California players, Harvey .Snodgrass and Walter Westbrook, while No. fi is occupied by I-ouis Thalheiiner and Lewis N. White, the intereollegiate doubles champions, an advance of three positions. Seventh place goes tu George M. I.ott, Jr., and Alex Ii. Grave of the middle west, new renters in national doubles ranking. (Copyright.

Fort Omaha will play a regular game against the Cards either Wednesday or Thursday night, and the night following, Dana college of Blair will probably be seen in action on the Omaha court. Coach Ernie Adams has not yet signed for the game but will probably do so on Monday. In ths meantime the Cards are displaying a brand of basket ball far superior to anything yet shown this season, and in scrimmages the last week gave promise of a scoring t?am play that will strike thrsugh any op position.

Meaning Vic Aldridge, Few persons know that the pitcher the Chicago Cubs traded to the Pitts burgh Pirates over the winter started life as a school teacher in the rural districts of Indiana. It wae his week-end pitching that won him the attention which ultimately altered his whole life. Aldridge was born in In dian Springs, Ind, The Indianapolis American associa tion club gave Vic his first real chance in baseball. It also gave him his first long train rides. Deriding that Vic had the makings but was a bit green the Indians sent him to Denver under option, only to recall him and farm him to Erie, Pa. The following season, however, he produced. After he had won lfi and lost II games for the Hoosler team the Chicago club bought him. The Cub bosses decided after two years ■ > . , — .. . .. ■ I that they didn't need him In their pennant plans, so Vic was sent to the Bos Angeles club soon after the start of the 1918 campaign, lie spent the next three seasons convincing the Cub owners that they needed him. In 1922 the club paid a fairly big price for him. Aldridge won 16 and lost 15 games for the Cublets In 1922 and collected the same number of victories while losing hut nine games two years ago. Bust season he won 15 and lost 12. With the Pirate outfit the coming season Aldridge should have a bigger year than any he has enjoyed to date. Bast season Bill Killefcr had Alexander, Jacobs, Keen and Kauf man, all going good. Aldridge did not receive as many chances to work as he will at Pittsburgh, where Bill McKechnle has Yde, Kremer and Morrison ns his main hopes. In addi tion to Aldridge. Vic should have a chance to work every fourth day.

X. lUrtv, Suglua\\, AlUh Bluejays Outplay j Visitors in All Periods of Game Trautman Tops Scorers With Eight Field Goals—Injured in Final Half and May Re Unable to Play. Y setting a fast pace in the early stages of the game and increasing It as the contest progressed, the Creighton Untver sity Bluejay bas ket ball team, be fore a well-filled gymnasium Friday night, walloped, trounred and de cisively defeated the Notre Dame quintet by the score of 34 to 21. The light and speedy Bluejay hoopsters not only out-scored the South Benders, but out-passed and out generaled the visi tors in both halves of the contest. The count at the end of the first half was 22 to 9, with the Bluejays enjoy ing the long end of the score. So well did the Blue and White hoopsters outplay the visitors from Indiana that not once after the first five minutes of play did the spectators habor any idea that the pride of the Hilltop would fall In basket tall defeat. Creighton was outweighed, but what the Bluejays lacked In beef they more than made up In speed and scor ing ability. The Blue and White tossers galloped up and down the court much like the “Four Horse men" of Notre Dame football fame galloped up and down the grid fields last fall. Notre Dame was after the ball and not carrying or passing the leather, which Is something out of the ordinary for a Notre Dame athle tic team. Little Johnny Trautman, captain and forward of the Creighton quintet, topped the hoopsters In ringing up field goals. The frail little Bluejay leader chalked up eight field goals, six of them coming In the first half. Toward the end of the gams Traut man collided with one of the Notre Dame players and had to be carried off the court. The teamwork displayed by the Bluejays was good to look at from start to finish. The advance of the Creighton hoopsters down the floor swept the visitors before them In rapid fashion, while the defense of the winner* broke up many Notre Dame plays before they got past the center of the court. The game was not a fast exhibition of basket ball playing on the part of both teams. At times the game was slow, but fast or slow the contest was sprinkled with spectacular plays, some by Creighton and some by Notre Dame, Ike Mahoney, Creigh ton center, added thrills to the court battle with his long shots of which he made three, while McNally of the visitors ahared the spotlight with "Ike" In scoring from long range. Notre Dame got off on the right hoof soon after the game started i when Crowe eased in a field goal. The visitors held their lead hut a short time as Trautman took a pass from Mahoney and registered a field goal, knotting the score. Ityan, Trautman’* running mate, put Creighton In tile lead when he ragrd a neat field goal coming out of close quarters. Kyan's basket ousted the Bluejays out in front and they remained at the head of the proresalon all evening. Creighton held a 34 to IS lead when only six minutes was left in which to play. Coach Schahingrr started send ing in substitutes and before the con test ended the entire Creighton sec team was battling a basket hall quintet which represented a univer sity made famous the country over for lt'a undefeated football team of 1924. Beside* Captain Trautman, the playing of Mahoney and Ityan for Creighton was good. McNally* and Crow* played well for Notre Dame. NOTRR DAMP—tl. Player—Po. r«.. FT. FTA. F Ptl.

The enthusiasm manifested by the participants in the basket bait league leads Schabinger to believe t..at in tramural athletics at Creighton have arrived to stay and he Is certain that the proposed meets and tournaments will be successful. Schabinger announced that the uni versity would back a tennis tram at the Hilltop this spring, provided enough men of the right caliber turned out. if a team could he organized the Bluejays would compete in dual meets with other schools in this section of the countri . and in the North Central conference net meet. Possibilities of a school golf team are also very strong, and with such men as Pat Murphy. Fagan, l.ichten herger, Mahoney and several oiher good golfers back in school, the Blue jays could put out a representative team. The swimming meet and handball tournament will be held either in February or March.

Sweeping Its ligliter opponent be fore it in tile first quarter, tlie Tech High five experienced lictle difflcul ty in winning from Hastings, 3fi-?n, Friday night in the Tech gym. The score was IS to 3 in Tech'* favor at the end of the first quarter and the Maroon amt White gradually increas ed its lead as the game progressed. Although Hastings never seriously threatened during the entire game, it held Te< 11 almost even during the last three quarters, showing a superior passing attack. Fharnquiet and Nelson were almost wholly responsible for the Omahans' victory, "Swede" sinking eight field goals while his running mate was light on his heels with seven. These two men never failed to score on a short shot. Indicating that the final result might have been different If Hastings' under-basket defense had been a little tighter. Of the 15 field goals scored by Tech, only one came from past the free throw line. The work of Maclteady featured the play of the losers. He was in al most every play and caged the leath er three times, making him high point man for Hastings. Wilson, right guard, followed Maclteady with two field goals and a free throw for five points DEMPSEY GIBBONS MATCH PLANNED Chicago. .Tan. 23.—Frank Flournoy, matchmaker at Madison Square Garden.
