TENNISCHAMPS IN SEMI-FINALS Rye, N. Y.. Aug. 15 <U.R>Tlie eastern turf court championships went Into the semi final round todsv without the familiar figure of William T. (Big Bill I Tilden, who retired from play yesterday In protest against the actions of an unfriendly gallery. Irritated by booing and caustic comment from spectators at his match with young Clifford Sutter of New Orleans, the veteran stopje ed abruptly In the middle of a) service, walked to the net and said to his opponent: “I think I've had enough of this gallery. I’ll default, Cliff.” Regardless of what will be said alsuit Tilden's action, the outstanding fact is that the heckling portion of the gallery revealed itself as 111-mannered. Since Monday it had ridden Tilden, laughing when he made errors and displaying sportsmanship of the sorriest sort. When Tilden walked from the court yesterday, the crowd’s exhl-1 bltlon evoked a reprimand from an official. Many of the unfavorable rental ks coming from the stands during yesterday’s match were made, no doubt, because Tilden did not appear to lie trying. Tilden was playing with a sprained leg and some fans criticized him for, playing in this condition. Sensitive, no doubt, at his in-1 ability to cover the court as he ■ once did and defeat opponents, that earlier in his career would have been nothing more than setnps, Tilden was stung by the attitude of the gallery. Tilden's favor with the galleries has decreased in recent years when, due to irritation at being forced to the I mit by younger players, he has argued with the linesmen and Judges. Tilden’s fellow tennis players justified his action by saying an amateur, playing on his own time and own money, has the right to play the game as he saw fit. They) said his case Is entirely different I from that of the professional baseball player or boxer who might do the same thing. —• o * BASEBALL BRIEFS J Two pitchers, Wesley Ferrell of th Cleveland Indians, and Earl | Whitehill, of the Detroit Tigers,) occupied the American league spot-1 light today. Ferrell, a 22-year-old' righthander, led the pitchers of both leagues with 20 victories. | Whitehill, a slender southpaw, possessed a winning streak of ten ! straight. Whitehill's record is all the more remarkable when one re members that he started and finished all ten ganrs—with a fifth place club behind him. Ferrell hung up No. 20 on Thursday when he left the leading Philadelphia Athletics down with seven’ hits. While Ferrell was doing so nobly his mates pounded a trio of hurlers for 20 hits and 15 to 0 vic Ury. Wh t hill also gave up but seven hits as the Tigers beat the NewYork Yankees 5 to 1. The Tiger | southpaw fanned 11 Yankee batsmen. Eddie “Bull” Durham, second strong pitcher, allowed the St. Louis Browns but four singles as the R d Sox triumphed 3 to 0. Durham did not issue a base on I a:is. The Washington Senators sw-ept the! seri< s with the Chicago White Sox by taking the final tilt 5 to 4. Pat Malone’s blind ng speed and tilcky slants were too much for the Brooklyn Robins and the Chic igo Cubs took th<} third game of the important series 5 to 1. The victory placed the Cubs a fraction more than a game in front. The St Louis Cards and Boston Braves split a double-header, the Cards wining the opener 4 to 3 ami the Braves taking the second 3 to 2. Yesterday’s hero. Jimmy Wilson, pinch hitter, whose ninth-inning single with the bases loaded, gave the St. Louis Cards a 4 to 3 win

Aug. 15.—(U.R) —-Primo Camera and Jack Sharkey will meet in a 10-round bout in Chicago on or about September 29 it was announced by Mique Malloy, Windy City promoter, before he left for the west late yesterday. Bill Duffy of Camera’s board of contiol, and Johnny Buckley and iJack Conway, Sharkey’s managers, Malloy said, have verbally agreed | to terms and expressed willingness to sign the official papers in a few- ■ d-’-s. It was understood Sharkey will receive SLuO,OOt) with the privilege] of 30 per cent of the gate and the ] Italian will get no guarantee but 25 per cent of the receipts. The fight will be held either at Soldiers’ Field or one of the baseball parks. o Decatur Golfers Lose Decatur Country Club golf team ] lost to Van Wert golfers at Van Wert Wednesday afternoon 33-30. Decatur held a lead of three points until the final foursome turned in the score cards. The match was close throughout and Van Wert by winning evened the count between the two cities for the season, Decatur having previous ly won here. It Is likely a third match will be held.

SOX SEEK NEW FIRST BASEMAN Washington, Aug. 15. ;U.R) The Chicago White Sox have offered he Baltimore International league ■lull $50,000 in cash and first base nan Bid Clancy in exchangj/for o Hauser, the Orioles' slugging first has man. Secretary Lou Bar mur of the White Sox announced here today. No word has been received from Baltimore concerning the proposed deal, Barbour said. Hauser, a veteran who was on-, if the Am- rican league s star slugrets a half doien years ago, has iroken one International league ecord this year and apparently is >n his way to several others. Old Jo - already has 54 home runs to his credit, needing but seven more to break Babe Ruth’s American eague record. In addition, he bad lotted in 153 runs up to yesterday. The veteran’s best work in th ■ big leagues was done with the Allities prior to 1925 when he suffer'd a seven- knee injury in spring i raining. He was out of tlie gam all that season and was unable to regain his stride the following year, being sent to Kansas City fti Hie American Association. After a gr at season there in 1927, he vas given another chance by Connie Mack but again failed to show his old ability. Hauser came to the Orioles from Cleveland, having been acquired -,y the Indians on waivers. TODAY'S GAME MAY DECIDE Chicago, Aug. 15.—KU.Rz—Championship hopes of the Chicago Cubs and the Brooklyn Robins today were c< ntered on a single game—the final contest of their current four-game series at Wrigley field. Although the National league ace has more than a month to run and promises to remain a three club fight virtually to the cud of the season, both the Robins and Ctfbs believed today’s game likely to decide the ultimate winner of the 1930 championship. A tradition of 50 year’s standing liars the other National league chilis from winning tlie p nnant this year either Brooklyn or Chicago having led the league each decade year since 1880. The Cubs won pennants in 1880 and 1910, with Brooklyn tlie victor in 1890, 1900 and 1920. Chicago gained a full game over tlie Rollins yesterday, when Pat Malone pitched his mates to a 5 to 1 triuph. and will hold first plans regardless of the outcome of today’s game. Homer, a defeat, would cut their lead to .002 points I and seriously endanger th Cubs’ j chances of building up the 4-game , lead they desire as a working margin for their toad tr p, which starts Sept. 1. Unless they earn a safe | margin during their present home stay, the Cubs have little chance of winning the pennant. o Decatur High School Grid Candidates Called All prospective candidates sor ’ the 1930 Decatur high school foot-] hall squad are asked to meet next Monday n’ght at Decatur high 1 school at 7:30 o’clock. The call was issued today by Herb L. CurI t:s, athletic mentor of the local s-chool. i The meeting As being called, ] Coach Curtis said, to determine 1 how much new football equipment will be necessary before the season opens in September.

Th s agency may lie able Jto arrange for loans. , j Each of the governors present yest-relay had a plan for getting i L , tin' money. While their methods I varied, their suggestions agreed] that tlie federal* government or one , lof its agencies should support the ’ | movi meat. Mr. Hoover indicated r the burden must he primarily , assumed by tlie states and Coun- _ ties. In that connection. Mr. Hoover stated: ! “The methods of provision of I credit beyond local or state resources for the purchase of feed, seed, movement of livestock or support of families over the winter will be developed by state committees in cooperation with the Federal farm hoaid. the farm loan i board, the interm diate credit sysi ;teni and other federal agencies." ■ There were indications this di I not meet with the wishes of all’ the governors present, but th ot ficial word at the White House was . - that the statement was accepted by all present. t Witli plans for the relief program formulated, the presid nt , now is proceeding to work out a ( ] contact system with the farm organizations. S. H. Thompson, presiJ dent of tlie Aire ican Farm Bureau I Federation, Laius J. Taber of the . National Grange and C. E.

The loss has been estimated at $750,060,000. ' i In a radio address last night. ] Secretary of Agriculture Hyde . reiterated that there was no pros , pe’ct of a shortage of food for huI man consumption. , "Tlie real danger in the situation," the secretary said, "lies in the threat of want or bankruptcy ! to many others of farm families, • and in the after efforts of the crop , shortage upon the whole nation." Simultaneously the depaitmeni . issued a review of fruit and vege table conditions calculated to dis , courage unreasonable prices. Yields of all fruits as indicated August 1 the ri port said would bw I 18 per cent, aliore last year's short I crop. j Ritchie 11l At Ease By Hoover’s Action Baltimore, Mil., Aug. 15—(UP— Gov.
