STATUS OF TILDEN
BEING Determined

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August William T.
Tilden, I'd. national singles champion.
tonight appeared before the United
States Lawn Tennis Associations ex-
ecuti~e committee to discuss alleged
violation of the player-writer rule by
Tiiden in giving interviews for news
paper syndication.
The committee went into session
with Tilden late in the evening at the
Hotel Vanderbilt, announcing that no
official information would be made
available until tomorrow night.
1t was intimated that the hearing
would probably extend over several
hours.
Officials of the tennis association
have privately expressed views indicat-
ing that there is division of opinion
as to whether the giving of interviews
for newspaper syndication constitu-
ties a violation of the player-writer
rule.
The question of Tilden's amateur
standing as affected by expression of
his tennis views in the. newspa pers
comes to the front again at critical
period in the net season Next week
the United States holds its trials for
the selection of . defending Davis
cup team.
Evening star., 1925-08-02

Connally scaled the peak and the
game quickly ended when Hale fell
on strikes and Lamar was doubled
trying to steal third Credit for the
conquest went to Lyons.
The Athletics could gather only 13
hits in the long battle and early in
the game Lyons was hard pressed only
in the sixth inning, when the Macks
scored twice.
Welch's casual shot to left for
home run in the eighth was the blow
that made extra innings possible. The
bases were bare at the time and
Welch's blow was only the sixth made
off Lyons.
Quinn Steady i'm Pinches.
Jack Quinn, with record of three
straight wins in an Athletic uniform
started for the Macks and was hit
harder than Lyons, his fellow duelist
but was steady in pinches. A pinch
hitting assignment led to the veteran S
withdrawal and Rube Walberg came
on and made the Sox dizzy with his
speed and curves.
For seven straight innings Walberg
kept the Sox away from the plate,
but there must be an end to every
thing, and finally in the fifteenth the
Sox got the range on him and col
lected two runs that decided the issue.
f1ossy flng1ng by both Quinn and
WalberG was ruined because there
was no poison in the bats carried by
the Macks. The defeat was charged
to Walberg, because the score was
tied after he went to the peak
Mack shuffled the deck again and
put in the order that he sends
against right-handed pitchers. Bishop
displaced Dykes at the keystone and
Poole was back at first and Miller in
right field.
Coehrane FOrgets His Illness.
Gordon Cochrane was a bit indis-
posed, so Mack ordered Perkins to
strap on a wind pad. but late in the
game Cochrane forgot his illness and
finished the game behind the bat
Lamar and Simmons, with three
hits each, were the only Macks to
take any liberties with the Chicago
pitching.
AS against the Athletics, l3 hits, tlee
Sox were credited with IS. II be-

FothergilPs lusty double to the
bleachers and a poke down the right
field line by Cobb, put the Jungaleers
one UP in the third and the best the
champions could do in the flag end of
the frame was get "a representative
to the far corner. Bluege attaining
that far on being hit with pitched
ball. stealing second and moving up
notch on Peck's death. Ruel left him
stranded.
There was a vast difference In the
fourth. however, when the champions
took advantage of the break" that
came their way and rang the bell
four times. McNeely was wounded
following Ruether's Texas leaguer, and
Harris jolted a bunt past first base
to jam the hassocks. Rice's little
looper to center produced one run and
Goslin's infield smash to Blue another.
A pass to Judge forced in tally No. 8,
and after Bluege's pop. Rice tailed
when Peck hit into a force play.
Swats by Cobb and Heilmann and
Blues long fly gave the Jungle Cats
their fifth and final counter in round 5.
Champions Sew 1t Up.
Jess Doyle, the Marberry of the
Michigan menage, appeared to adj
vantage for two rounds after Stoner
was lifted for pinch hitter, but he
was nicked for pair of markers that
sewed up the contest in the eighth
when Goslin manufactured a double
after Ruether and Harris had emitted
singles.
Dutch frightened up after round
and was not endangered thereafter
till the final frame when Pinch Hitter
Nouns single and miscue by Peck
put him in a JAM from which Bluege,
Harris and Judge promptly eXtricated
him with Snappy dual killing.

to take Ruel's peg and effect Topper's

Il am confident that such a system
as used by Harris is great asset to
organized base ball. Next year | be-
lieve that we will give 1t an honest
and thorough try ourselves"
Manager Fohl enthused when
queried ON the Washington system.
There is only one rule and that is
an unwritten one. declared Fohl.
Keep in shape and play ball. I al
ways have been in favor of some sys-
tenn which would do away with the
present code.
No 1880 curfew bell and no $50
am. breakfast obligation. If the
boys want to step out they can step
with no one to say nay. But play
ers stepping out must watch their
