Cincinnati Mrs. Patricia Canning Todd of La Jolla, criticized the ranking committee for placing her sixth in the recent national women's list, accusing the group of favoritism and reprisals against her. She referred to the USLTA committees as "doddering old fogies" who "didn't see 99 per cent of the matches they base their rankings on." Mrs. William MacKenzie Kalt, who heads the women's ranking committee, answered that the committee "followed the same procedure this year we have for years." USLTA officials had no immedi ate comment on the controversy. "The rankings, as published, are merely the recommendations of the committee," a spokesman said.

"They have yet to be approved by the body at the USLTA meeting Jan. 22. "Normally we follow the recommendations of the committees, but there have been exceptions." Mrs. Todd contended she had a better tournament record than some players given better rating. She won the National indoor singles championship, heating Doris Hart (No.

Jennewein started out with a strike and a spare and then followed through with strikes for his 280. Kramers and Baehrs won 3-0 victories over the Schneiders and Kutis Boys, respectively.

In the other matches, decided 2-1, Bowl-Mor beat the Kroemekes, Art Wilkes downed the Adams and Silver Seals won from The Kol-lars. Kramers had 1045 and 2965 for team honors. HIS TRUCKS WERE OLD.

Cincinnati i jJtK fix There are a few surprises tucked away in the official National League fielding averages, released today, but one of them is not the fact that Marty Marion, for the third topped all the shortstops. The Redbirds' "Mr. Shortstop" had an advantage of seven percentage points over his nearest rival, Buddy Kerr of the Giants, among the regulars who played 100 games or more. Just as Marion was tops for the third time, so the Cardinals led their league for the third straight year, making fewest errors and attaining a percentage of .980. But among the unexpected turns was the work of Jeff Heath, former Brownie, who led all the outfielders as a member of the Boston Braves.

His fielding average was a remarkable .991. In previous seasons Heath was accepted as a great extra-base hitter but veak fielder. Annth.r crnrk. ihf fin Showing of the Chicago Cubs who. although last in their league race, were first in double plays.

152, first in number of assists 1810 and first in total chances, 6049. As to individual performances, Cardinal players were especially prominent. Had lied Schoendienst played just four more games at second base he, like Marion, mignt have led the league. In 96 games. the fragile redhead fielded nono but the leadership went to Jackie Robinson, with .9795 because he played in 116 games at second.

The same is true of Catcher Del Rice who lost the leadership honor only because he was 'one game short of the required 100. His fielding average of .996 was better than that of the official leader. Phil Masi of the Braves, who finished with .988. Cardinal pitchers proved themselves the most efficient fielders In the National League. Eight of the 11 Redbird hurlers who figure in the averages went through the season without an error.

Mur-ry Dickson was, the individual leader. He went through his 42 game appearances without a boot. Dave Bancroft Succeeds Marty McManus, as CHICAGO. Dec. 22 (AP) The AU-American Girls' Baseball League today announced three managerial changes for the 1949 season.

Johnny Gottselig, general-manager of the Chicago Blackhawk's hockey team, will rejoin the feminine circuit next year as pilot of the Kenosha (Wis.) Comets. Gottselig formerly managed the Peoria (111.) club. He replaces Chet Grant at Kenosha. Dave Bancroft, former major league star, will switch from the defunct Chicago entry to the helm of the South Bend (Ind.) Blue Sox. He succeeds Marty McManus, who resigned.

Carson Bigbee, manager of the Springfield (111.) team which also folded last season, moves to the Muswegon (Mich.) Lassies. He supplants Bill Wamby, another ex-major leaguer, who will enter business at Cleveland. Bob Kurland Scores 20 Points, Phillips Win OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 22 (AP) Big Bob Kurland had one of his good nights as he led the Phillips '66" Oilers to their second straight win over the Denver Chevrolets, 45 to 39, here last night. Kurland dropped in 20 points, five more than his total the night before when the Oilers triumphed, 58 to 45, in a National Industrial League game.

Playing 38 minutes, Kurland brought his Oilers from behind after trailing by six points in the first three minutes. But Mr. Rupp Hasn't Had the Pleasure of Meeting Mr. Macauley LOUISVILLE, Dec. 22 (AP) Coach Adolph Rupp of the University of Kentucky, today called Alex Groza, Wildcat center, and Wallace Jones, forward, the greatest two basketball players in the nation today.

"When Webster wrote the dictionary" Kentucky's highly successful tutor said, "he put one word in it just to describe Groza and Jones magnificent." Jones and Groza were members of the United States Olympic team this year and Rupp was a member of the coaching staff. The Kentucky team is here for tonight's southeastern conference game with Tulane. Both teams are undefeated this season. Ed. Note All-America Ed Macauley.
