AMERICANS STILL
 IN TENNIS PLAY
Bill Tilden Meets Henry Cochet
 in Semi-FinalS Today

Wimbledon. Eng, July 3 P- Seven days of play in the British tennis championships today found Americans still in the running for four of the five titles to be distrib uted.
 Only in the women's doubles does the United States fail to have na- tional representative. True, Eliza beth Ryan, the former Californian, and her English partner, Betty Nut hall. still are in that field but Miss Ryan has lived too long in England 10 be classed as full -fedged invad- CT from the United States.
 In the mems singles only Big Bill Tilden remains to carry on for America and the tall Philadelphian Was confronted today with a semi final round opponent who was high ly favored to win, Henri Cochet of France.
 In the mems doubles the Ameri- cans were in better situation with Tilden and Frank Hunter. George Lott and John Hennessey and Will mcr Allis on and John Van Ryn in the fold.
 Helen Wills. Helen Jacobs and May Sutton Bundy remain to carry on for the Stars and Stripes in the Women's singles and Miss Wills and Hunter had survived play 10 date in the mixed doubles.
 Chief interest today was centered on the mems singles where Tilden was matched with Cochet and Jean Borotra of France with H. W. (Bun~ ny) Austin of England.
 Mrs. Bundy, who won the wom- cn's title at Wimbledon 4 years ago, was to meet Joan Ridley Of England in the Women's singles and hoped to join her compatriots, Miss Wills and Miss Jacobs. and the Eng fish woman, Elsie Goldsack, in the semi-finals.
 In the mons doubles, the Tilden- Hunter and Alison-Nan Ryn com binations already were in the semi finals along with the Englishman, l. G. Collins and J. C. Gregory.
 Lott and HenneSSey, a round back of the field. must dispose of the Eng fish pair of C. H. Kingsley and J. $. Cliff to reach the semi-final round where. if successful, they will meet Collins and Gregory.
 Hunter and Miss Wills have reach cd the quarter finals of the mixed doubles.

New York. July 3 LT-Thc min strels sing of the olden days when a catcher was an important parsonage, ranking with and even ahead of the pitcher.
 Catchers were mighty men. the ancient lay has it, but gone are the backstops whose fame once rang from Coo2an's Bluff 10 muddy Mis- sissipp'. The lively ball which em- phasized the bat" in battery hung the onus on the pitcher and rclegat- cd the man behind the plate into something as necessary, but no more breath taking, than the little whisk broom of the umpire.
 King Kelly was the first of the great ones, the widely -mustachcd Boston pride who reyeled in the title of the Ten Thousand Dollar Beauty" in the days beyond 1890 when $l0,00O was money at which to bare the head. Michael was so heroic that he almost dwarfs the fame of Charlie Ewing and of the later Johnny King. Records were rare when King Kelly flourished and none can say truly that one was greater than the other. All were great.
 There was Chief Zimmer who had only to waddlc behind the plate at Cleveland for strong men to blanch and wish the game were over. Cup py and Zimmer, Young and Zimmer: these were poison. The cpochal Cy went to Boston later and most of his best days were passed there with the no less well known Lou Criger pulling them in back of the base.
 This Boston boasted proudly of Charlie Ganzcl, who lifted Kid Nichols and John Clarkson to great CT heights of repute. And the Ori- oles had the then slim Wilbert Rob inson to balance William Hoffner and the other Baltimore beauties.
 Tho Giants had Russia and Farrell and Mcekin and Farrell and later there were Frank Bowcrman. Roger Bresnahan and Chief Meyers to handle the steam of Christy Mathew son. The great rivals of the Giants then were the Cubs who rcjoiccd in the services of Johnny kling and Mordecai Brown.
 When Connie Mack was building his Athletics into championship club, he had great catcher in Mike Powers who teamed with Eddie Plank and Chief Bender And, of course, there was the eccentric Ruhe Waddcll whose genius and pcculiari- ties found a match in Ossie Schreck- engost These two were Circus-- but not for the opposition.
 Walter Johnson pitched Washing ton to the top with the aid of two catchers whose names finger with the elect. "Gabby" Street and Muddy" Ruel. Joe Wood and Bill
New Britain herald., 1929-07-03

CarriGan of the Boston Red SoX were near the top as a combination and Grover Alexander and Bill Xiii lcfer were famous long before the Phillies won pcnnant.
 Ray Schall of the White SoN was the last of the hcadlincrs. He passed on reluctantly and there was only d fading Muddy" Ruel 10 carry on. These days the pitcher does his stuff, the batter does his stuff; the catch CT is overlooked.
 Comparisons buy no potatoes, but 1t does seem that the catChers of this year of grace are a long way Tt aosonOhik aofif omiwow afiwo short of the heroes of another day.

STORYTELLING MUST
 WORK FOR BULLION
German Heavyweight Ordered to
 Go Through With Contract

New York. July PEHemmed about by a plethora of managers Max schmeling appears destined to starve in the midst of plenty. Just when the German heavy weights stock has gone slly-high be- cause of his victory over Pauline Uzcudun. Schmeling's feud with his one-time manager, Arthur Buelow, has reared it's head again to threat en not only Herr MaX's peace of mind but his ring earnings as well.
 With the Pauino- Schmeling fight out of the way and charity the rich CT therefore. the New York State Athletic Commission has decreed that Schmeing now must fulfill a contract, signed by Buelow with Hubert Fugazy to fight Phil Scott of England. at Ebbets field, Brook lyn. August r.
 Schmeling has said time and again that he never would go through with any match arranged by Buelow. Rather, he said. he would return to Germany and wait for his contract with Buelow to expire in October, 1880.
 Whatever the German decides to do, it seems that Madison Square Gardens plans for a bout between Schmeling and Jack Sharley here in | September must be abandoned. Sharkey is bound to the Garden until July Is when an opponent for the Sentember bout must be named.
 It seems now that the Garden may let its option on Sharkey expire
 without a struggle. Contrary to re- ports. however, the Garden stands to | lose nothing by failing to exercise it's option on the Boston sailor. There had been reports that the Garden would forfeit s1Oo,0OO by failing to name an opponent for Sharkey but
 William F. Carey. president of the corporation. said the option was a
 part of the contract the Garden made with Sharkey for the Sharkey- Stribling fight at Miami Beach.
 As for the athletic commission. Chairman James A. Farley said the commission would have nothing fur ther to do with the situation except to see that Buelow gets his 20 per cent cut of Schmeling's earnings un- til his contract expires.
 | Buelow. through his attorneys, 1 filed motion in state supreme court yesterday. asking appointment of a receiver for 13 1-3 per cent O. Schmeling's purse for fighting Paul | limo. Buelow said the athletic com mission had declared it would order this part of the Teuton's purse paid 10 Schmcling's American managers, Joe Jacobs and Charley Rose.
 Whatever happens. it appears that most of Schmeling's engagements in the near future will be of court, rather than boxing record.

 District League Game

Harry Lennihan, Eddy-Glover post baseball team hurler, was in rare form last evening and in limiting the Brock Barnes representatives to three lone singles, he shut out the Plainville team by to 0 score. The game was a district league con- test and was played in .Plainvillc. Last nights win was the third straight in the district loop for the locals.
 The contest was an unusually fast one, only so minutes being consumed in playing it.

Boys Band Renders Fine
Program Saturday Eve
Director Hanson's Lads Have Made
Wonderful Progress Since Pre-
vious Public Appearances

Saturday evening the Sank Cen
ire Boys entertained an aud
fence that almost taxed the ca
pacity of the large Junior High
School Auditorium with a pro-
gram of splendid music, rendered
by the Senior and Junior Bands
and the Riddles Drum Corps.
When one stops to consider
that every member of the Senior
band was a stranger to a band in
strument less than two years age
the showing Saturday evening was
remarkable. The program was
made up of patriotic and popular
marches with a difficult waltz and
an overture interspersed. The
program was so arranged as to
give every section of the band an
opportunity to show their ability
to good advantage.
The Junior organization is made
up largely of reed instruments. AS
soon as they are more efficient
they will become a portion of the
Senior organization as Mr.. Hanson
has an ambition to build up real
symphony organization with the
youngsters of this city. Sank Cen
tire is proud of every individual
and section of the Boys Band,
Seniors, Juniors and Kiddie Drum
Corps.
