After Doeg and Tilden the ground becomes increasingly treacherous. TIME OUT has made the following list: no. 3, Shields; no. 4, Sidney Wood; no. 5, Allison; no. 6, Sutter; no. 7, Mangin; no. 8, Lott; no. 9, Vines; and no. 10, Van Ryn. This list omits Mercur, Bell, Hunter, and Coen of last year's elite.

Mercur; 7. Allison; 8. Shields; 9. Coen; 10. Bell. Mangin was mentioned as a deserving player who would probably gain official rating. Time...
...earlier or a little later, a Canadian might have won it, but coming last week it met the convenience of several able U. S. players, all eager to be the champion of Canada. A player from South Orange, N. J.-Gilbert Hall-was the defending Canadian champion, but Fritz Mercur of Harrisburg, Pa., seventh in the U. S. ranking, put him out. Willard Crocker, Marcel Rainville, Charles Leslie, Brian Doherty, Canadians all, were in the quarterfinals. None of them got in the semifinals. The finals, as everyone expected, were between Mercur and George Lott. Mercur took the first set from...
