Since there Is general agree ment that todsy's game will de cide the first half title, a consid erable number of fans hare start ed for Bend and mow were plan ning to leare in the wee sma'i hours this morning, despite the fact that the game is to be played! nearly 200 miles from home. Incidentally the outcome of this j game will probably determine whether the Senators decide to go through the second half. Con trary to rumor, the boyi haren't decided to quit when the first half is oyer; neither are they certain of going ahead. If they! win the first half title it la considerably better than an eren chance that they will continue. 1 Not that the Senators will quit If they lose and go on If they win: that Isn't the issue. The whole problem is financial, and the players figure If they Can win the first half, the support will be big enough to take them through the rest of the season, whereas It nrobablr wouldn't be sufficient if thiT Ins. ! , ' Every man on the team was in good shape when they left Satur-' -r & day. and there won't be any allbis( !

The ranking is not based neces sarily upon ability, but on last year's ranking of players who are now members, anr the order in which new members signed up Any player may challenge the one next above him, and displaces him if victorious; but a defeated play er may not challenge the same man again for two weeks. The present rankings are: 1. Jack Minto. 2. French Hagemann. S. Adolph Greenbaum. 4. Ralph Curtis. 5. Irl McSherry. 6. R. W. Tavehnor. 8. Theodore Paulus. 9. Charles Graham. 10. Fred Thielsen. 11. R. R. Lyons. 12. R. H. Lull. Persons -familiar with the rela tive ability of the players predict that the rankings will change rap idly, as the last three players are among the best. Thielsen war ranked so near, the end because b was not ranked last year, and the' last two men 4n the list are nev members this year. wfL v..i cfiy W . FRED1 SAM GRAY SCHULTE With the Cardinals clamoring for major attention by threaten ing to duplicate their pennant-winning performance of 1926. -St. Louis fane are finding it none too easy to recognize the brilliant work of the Browns this season. But they're lending an ear to Dan Howley's claim that he has a potential world's championship com bination. Sam Gray, former Athletic pitcher, has been a consistent winner. He. like the other Browns' boxmen. has been receiving good fielding and batting support from such youngsters as Schulte and Kress. r" Close Matches Feature Wimbledon Net Tourney WIMBLEDON, Eng., June 30 (AP) Three of the most bitter five-set battles the great crowds of Wimbledon ever have seen to day put Big Bill Tllden, ace of American courts, and two of France's great triumvirate, Rene La Coste and Jean Borotra, into the "final eight" of the unofficial world singles championships. In marked contrast to the fierce strife on the men's courts. Miss Helen Wills, now definitely .ac cepted as "cannonball" to her British public, propped three "courtesy" games to Mrs. M. Hol croft Watson, steadiest of the En glish women, before settling into stride. and qualifying for the semi finals of the women's singles by scores of 6-3, 6-0. British crowds seldom have seen Tllden so worried as he wan today In eliminating- Pierre Lan dry, young Frenchman, 6-4, 2-6. 2-6, 6-1, 6-4. Rarely, too, was La Coste, French stylist and Ameri can champion, faced a game that so matched his own and bothered him so much as the stroking of H. W. Austin, youthful Englishman. La Coste won only after Austin virtually collopsed in the final set from exhaustion, losing by scores of 6-4. 6r4, 6-8, 1-6, 6-2. Only after a terrific struggle was Jean Borotra, third of the French musketeers, able to repulse the dogged stroking of another youth,! Pat Crawford, of Australia. And again the verdict rested on the outcome of the fifth set, with the bounding Basque of the courts triumphant 3-6, 6-4. 6-2, 7-9. 6-3. NEW GOLF CLUB WILL BOOST FEE The Salem . Golf club directors voted at a meeting last week to raise the initiation fee after today. The Increase will be considerable, it has been Indicated, and any per sons wishing to get in before it takes effect, are urged to get In touch with one of the club's offi cials today. The membership has reached a total of 110, Six greens on the new course have been built, and the fairways for the first nine holes are clear ed and ready for plowing. Offi cers of the club are Ercel Kay, president; Graham Sharkey, vice president and secretary, and D. W. Eyre, treasurer. Directors are Kay. Don Young. Jack;. Elliott and Dr. J. Shelley Saurman. Ananias certainly was born too soon. Just think what a princely 3alary he could get nowadays writing real estate ads for boom towns. ILLINI MAKES WORLD RECORD DETROIT, June 30. (AP) Morgan Taylor, the lanky, blonde hurdler, wearing the colors of tli j Illinois Athletic club, Chicago, es tablished a new world's record for the 400 meter hurdles today when" he cleared the barriers in the mid west sectional Olympic tryouts in 53.1 seconds. Taylor's sparkling performance clipped seven tenths of a second off the former record made by Sten' Petterson of Sweden, In a meet in Paris In 1925. Taylor also usrpassed the Olympic record of : 54 set "by Frank Loo in is of th Chicago Athletic association la 1920. McK INLET MEMORIAL CANTON, Ohio.
