1s Thon,as Club Lr Park Exhibition Games Toniglt
7oday's Sport Parade
By HENRY lIcLElEoRE

New York, Aug 19-(UP)- When that remarkable Texan. Babe Didrikson, arrives at Salem. Mass, late next month to win the women's national golf title, she will be accorded a hearty well come by Billie Hicks, defending champion.
 Seated in the marquee at For est Hills yesterday watching Helen Jacobs play Mrs John Van Ryn, Billie expressed a keen desire to see the Texas miracle perform. Billie doesn't, however, have any idea that the Babe, with only twelve rounds of golf in her life, will win the championship.
 Mind you," Billie said, 'T don't say she won't win the title. But if she does you can write 1t down as the most amazing thing of all time. don't think Babe realizes what a tricky game golf is. I can understand her getting an 80 after only twelve or so rounds, for it's pretty easy to knock off those strokes between 80 and a hundred. I know that 1 played a whole lot better my first year than I did my second. But wait until Babe starts trying to bring her score down into the mid- dle and low seventies. That's something else.
 '"And besides, golf is a whole lot different from running and jumping. In those games you get yourself all keyed up, and then in a few seconds it's all over. But championship golf places a steady call on your nerves for hours, days and even weeks. There never is 8 letdQwn from the time you start until You finish. And that eighty Babe got her twelfth time out that was scored in an informal match wasn't 1t? Well, there's a lot of difference in going around with friends with no gallery and nothing at stake, and going around in a championship with thousands of wild spectators running all over the place and everything at stake. But Babes find that out. It won't take her long"
 Billie was asked if being na- tional champion had hurt or im- proved her game.
 Hasn't done me a bit of good. In fact Pm almost sorry I won 1t. I know nobody'll believe that, but it's the truth. I won it too young. If had to keep on fighting for the title, until I was 25 or 26, say, I'd have been a whole lot bet ter golfer. But I happened to win it at 20, and it's hurt my game. For the life of me. I can't get as interested as I used to. You know how many tournaments I've won since I got the title? One, exactly one. Of course, that's not all my fault. Being champion puts you

According to schedule the Washington Hill and New Haven Police contest will be the first to get going, the boys booked to cross bats at 6 o'clock on the Washington Park field, where they met a short time ago and wound up in a 3-3 seyen inning deadlock. Because the days are getting shorter, the game will be started earlier than Is usually the case, and from the results of their last meeting, spectators will be as. sured of some first class baseball when the teams get going.
 The Big Four
 The Thomas Club-Meriden Tab game is a carry-over from last evening, and will be played at Full ton Park at 6:15 o'clock, weather permitting. Fay Vincent, Al Me- mec, Bob Walsh and George Gib- son, former members of local City League aggregations will show with the Silver City team, while Man ager Kenny Ouimet had Joe Shu- bert, late of the Cuban Stars ready for mound duty in behalf of the Tommies.
 Managerial Opinion
 In commenting about the Hills New Haven Police game tonight Manager George Casey of the Washington Hills said: You can be sure that the boys are ready to go, and will put on a brand or baseball that ought to pack Wash. inston Park. It's certain that everybody who saw the last game will be on hand tonight, and from advance reports we look for the best crowd of the season. Stewie Crichton will start for the Hills opposed to Dombeck, former St; Louis star, whily Huck Finn ana Dick Lynch will be here to do their stuff once again."
 Waterbury's Baseball Fedora tion will secure whatever benefit there is from the Fulton Park game while the Washington Hill A. c. is promoting the game on the hill.

on the spot, so to speak.
 Everybody expects you to be @ good, and in trying to live up fo expectations you try too hard And what's more, your opponents all have a psychological advan~ tage. Playing the champion they figure they've got everything to gain and nothing to lose, SO, they take ali sorts of chances. And when those chances work out, which they do about half the time. you're licked. I know what I'm talking about, for that's the way I used to do against Glenna. I'd try anything, knowing all the time that [ wasn't expected to beat her, so what difference did 1t make.
 "So you see the champion bus mess isn't all sweetness and light after all. Maybe I'd even be glad to have Babe come along and shoot a row of 71's and take the thing away from me. But I don't think she will.

FIVE SET MATCHES FEATURE TENNIS | PLAY AT NEWPORT
Dave Jones, Meet Sensa- tion So Far = Meets Vines Te-day-Allison Has Hard Time Beating Jap

Newport, R. l., Aug 19-(UP)- Chief interest in to-day's semi finals in the annual Newport casino tennis singles tournament will center on the match between Davey Jones of New York, un- seeded sensation of the event, and Ellsworth Vines, Jr, of Pasadena, Calf, national champion.
 Jones, scarcely considered in national ranking, has furnished the biggest upsets in the play thus far, and rose to new heights in yesterdays quarter-finals by elim- mating Frederick J. Perry of Eng land, who last year was defeated in the finals by Vines. The former Columbia university basketball star overcame Perry by sheer force of his hard drives, triumphing after a hard five set battle. The scores were 6-4, 16-~, 6-3; 2-6, 6-4.
 Hard Work
 Wilmer Allison, of Texas, Davis cup player, eliminated the other foreign star, Jiro Satoh of Japan and will meet Gregory Mangin of Newark, N. J., to-day. Allison came through with his victory after dropping the first two sets to satoh, 1-6, 3-6, 6-2. 6-2 6-4.
 Mangin qualified after long four-hour battle with Jack Tidbal of California. The scores were 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 12-14, 9-7.
 Vines, who complained of being i'll when he started his match witf John Van Ryn of Philadelphia emerged victorious after another long match, 2-6, 6-1, 2-6 6-3, 6-4.
 The doubles, also going into the semi stage, was an all- American affair with the elimina- tion yesterday of the British pair, Perry and Henry W. Austin.

Ice. FURLOUGH
To Be 50 DAYS

At the chief clerks office Of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today it was stated that,
despite a sharply reduced appro-
priation, the Commissioners be-
lieve no personnel reduction will
be necessary on that account.
Recently, the Bureau of Valua-
ton appealed to Congress to save
that bureau, said to be threatened
by extinction through a two-mil-
lion-dollar reduction for this bu-
reau alone, this likely to force
removal of 752 employees from the
bureau.
Instead of discharging any en-
ployes, except nine who retired
yesterday through provisions of
the economy bill, the commission
is planning a 60-day furlough for
all its employees. which is optional
with each department, instead Of
the 3O-day minimum authorized.

Uncle Sam Is Still Able to

Although the Government
may be said to be setting the
pace in reducing wages the
Federal Compensation Act
protecting Federal employees
financially against injuries re-
mains operative.
However, according to Edith C..
johnson, of the Bureau Of Plant
Industry, who has made a special
study of the act, it is not fully
understood even by those 1t af-
fects. She reminds that the
original act in 1915 was ito pro-
vide compensation for employees
Of the United States suffering
injuries while in the performance
Of their duties" and that an
amendment of 1924 included also
cases involving occupational
diseases. She adds:
occasionally individuals who
are acquainted with its benefits
prefer not to report minor in
juries because Of the red tape
involved in making out reports
Of the injury to the United
States Compensation Commis-
siOn."
Briefly. the act applies to all
civil employees of the Government.
It includes injuries and deaths
in line Of duty, providing money
in disability or death, and free
medical and hospital service for
injured. However, willful mis-
conduct of the employe invali-
dates the act for him, and intoxi-
cation at the time also yvoids
benefits.
The act does not cover ordi-
nary diseases, such as colds, pneu-
monia. tuberculosis, typhoid or
rheumatism, even though a
drafty Federal office or other
Government factory may be a
contributing cause, unless the
employe can prove a good case.
