Men S National
Tennis Tourney
ToStart Today
TiIden Will Attempt to Fight
Way To Former Position
As Titatist; Ninety Will
Compete.
BY GEORE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept, We)-The
Mems National Tennis Champion
ships will commence at Forrest Hills
tomorrow, with William T. Tilden
trying to fight his way through a
field of 80 players and back to his
former glory as champion of the
United States.
Barred from amateur ranks last
year, Tilden was forced to sit on the
sidelines and witness the 1923
championships. In the two previous
years, 1926 and 1927, he was beat
en- by the French.
Again, there exists strong and
popular hope among many tennis
followers that Tilden will be beaten
by one of the younger players.
After all, they point out, Tilden
has won the title six times and
has garnered all the laurelS that
any tennis player can ever hope to
own. It's high time he was properly
beaten, they say, to help the grow
ing suspicion that he is practically
through.
AS far as Tilden against the field
is concerned. there is plenty OF
money available-they really bet on
tennis matches quite avidly, be-
lieve it or not-that Big Bill will
not win the championship.
But if you like run for your
money and ask them to pick man
who can beat Tilden, they can't do
it. They can only point out that
there are some mighty fine young
sterS like Frank Shields, Bunny Au-
Stin, Berkley Bell, John Van Ryn,
Johnny Doeg, George Lott and
Gregory Mangin-any one of whom
might catch Big Bill at the right
time and beat him.
Bunny Austin. the little English
star, is favored by some to beat
Tilden in the semi-finals, granted
both reach reach that round.

Chief Harold Case plans to start
campaign for purchase of new fire

and had to be towed in from drill
on another occasion.
THE truck has not been given a
real overhauling for at least six
years." said the chief, because of
the fact that we haven't dared to
let it go from service long enough
to give it an overhauling.
Then, too, the rotary pump blades
have been cut by the sand, reducing
the pressure efficiency from the
original 100 pounds to 100 pounds.
The fire chief wants a centrifugal
pump instead of rotary, for that
reason. He wants pumper which
will pump 75O gallons a minute in
stead of $50.
I'm going to ask for a new Sea-
grave truck" said Case. I'VE really
need two trucks, SO that they can
be properly taken care of and over
hauled when necessary.
I'VE should have an awning to
put over the front of the truck to
protect it from the weather, and we
also need some new hose"
Case will spend his vacation in
northern Arizona, in the strip. He
will leave his family at the home
of his brother-in-law and take a
horseback trip into the wilds with
his brother-in-law.

The state game and fish commits
sion of South Dakota announced last
week a continued closed season on
prairie chicken and grouse, and a
considerably shorter open season on

Farmers, fearing a grasshopper
plague, urged that bird life be con-

nounced.
The pheasant season this fall will
open October 20, in all counties where
an open season was granted. The
open season varies from sixteen days
to two days, and will start as noon
in each instance. This step was TAX
en- to avoid early morning slaughter,
the commission said.
The daily beg limit this fall will
be five ring-necked or English phea-
SAINTS, one of which may be a hen.
The daily bag limit may be taken on
opening and closing days of season
Shipping privileges also remain
unchanged this year. Tags will be
sold in lots of five or ten at Is cents
each, with ont more than ten to any
one license. The tags are available
to South Dakota residents only.

GULL HERDS CLOSELY
IF FEED SUPPLY LOW

Farmers who are facing shortages
of hay or other feeds for the coming
winter should Gull their f1ocks and
herds closely, says w. L. Cavert, ex-
tension specialist in farm manage
ment, University Farm, st. Paul.
This is an opportune time for such
culling, he says, as prices of all
livestock are high. Where feed is
scarce, farmers will find it better to
carry over only as much livestock as
can be well handled, rather than to
keep a larger number in a semi
starved condition.
Mr.. Cavert suggests that farmers
who anticipate short feed supplies
should at once make careful calcula-
tions as to how much roughage will
be required and check this against
available supplies. Those who dis
cover that they are short of feed are
advised to locate supplies in their
home localities as early as possible
and contract for their needs.
Where poor quality roughage, such
as wild hay, straw or corn stalks
must be used, plans should be made
to feed more than the usual amount
of linseed oilmeal or other high pro
tein concentrates.
Farmers who must choose between
selling young stock or good dairy
cows are advised to sell of the form
er, as producing cows will usually
pay better for purchased feed thar

serts. Where animals must be SOLE
on account of lack of feed, it is US
ually best to dispose of them as earl!
as possible, since in that way more
feed is saved for animals to be re
tanned, while a prompt sale of thos'
that cannot be carried gets them t.
market in a fleshier condition thar
if they are held to later date.
