There was no official ranking system at the time. Perhaps the
references were to a magazine article:

"_Collier's Magazine_ of March 24, 1934, ranked Watson as the fourth
greatest player in the world on the basis of his tournament record."
-- _Encyclopedia of Bridge_ (5th ed.)

Thank you.

Now, can you tell us who was number 1, 2 and 3 ?
