 TOdOy On Boston Courts

Boston, Aug. 25-America's prob able doubles defenders in the Davis Cup challenge round, R. Norris Will Hams 2d, and Watson M. Washburn faced a severe test today in the semi finak round of the national doubles cham pionship tournament. Their match with William M. Johnston and Willis E. Davis, of San Francisco, competitors on different teams in the last national doubles final round, was the big event of the day on the Long wood Cricket Club courts,. where sev- era1 other national titles are being contested.
 Williams and WaShburn have not shown at their best to date in this tournament and yesterday were all most forced out of the play. It has appeared to tennis followers that they have been trying to work out a more uniformly conservative style of play. to obviate especially the tendency of hair-lin shots shown by Williams. Weaknesses have been exposed, how ever, which opponents have been quick to seize upon.

Chicago Tribune
 Cuts Baseball News

Chicago, Aug. 25-Dec1aring that an active doubt existed as to the value of professional baseball in American life, the Chicago Tribune has an nounced on it's editorial page that it had curtailed it's baseball reports in favor of other sports, partlculariy arnat teur games
 .'IThe Chicago Tribune is down to about a half column now for games in which the home team plays, and to a bare statement of vital statistics regarding other c1ubS,' the ann ounce ment said. ''That is enough.
 Two or three hours in a ball park do not take anything off the waist line of the spectators or add anything to chest measurement. Professional baseball is a stimulus for boys, but journalism has overfed 1t with space.
 "Amateur sports seldom produce the ability of professional sports but they produce sound citizenry.'
