Tilden of Phfladel pnta and Francis .T. Hunter of New Rocbelle, pained the final round of the eastern grass court ten ii Ik singles championship today-. They will meet tomorrow afternoon for the title won last year by John Doeg, ,of Santa Mo nica. California. Tildn eliminated Doeg In the eml-finals today 6-3. 3-6, 6-4, -4, after Hunter had defeated the English era. ik H. AV. (Bunny) Austin, 6-4, 3-6. C-2. 1-6. 6-1. Tilden Shows Olil Form tor.Whil During, the f irtt set and part of the second match with Doeg, Til den displayed the sort of tennis expected of him. He was pitted against a youngster who possessea a serrtce more severe than Til den'g and the national ranking star had to attend strictly to busl , ness to make sure of his games. Doeg' serf ice was so effective la the firs: set that during the fourth game he shot over three Il-htnin- like shots in a row on service that scored perfect aces on Tilden and produced snickers and. laughter from the gallery. Games in this set followed service until the eighth when Tilden broke through for a 5-3 game lead and then took the next on his own cannonball service. Doeg Breaks Through Big Bill's Serrl. t- In the second set. games again followed service until the fourth game when it v. as Doeg's turu to break through and take the following game for a 4-1 lead. Games then again followed service until Doeg ran out the set 6-3. Tilden raised his game a few notches to gallop away with the third set and then romped away with the fourth an;l deciding one as well. Drg Ml into a bad slump, his service failed him and he had made so many ctrors that Tilden liad nothing to lo but wait for tbe youngster to hrat himself. Hunter and Austin played an other ralhor colorless uuttcli but it was rc :. earned by Hunter's ex hibition of tirt!c?s energy lu driv ing off lorehsnd with all hir, strength for five full sets without a single rcrrrt t5 soft stroking. Hunter's Strategy Wins Mat-;. Austin's handling of Hunter's forehand drive end the surprising spe?d he pu: on tfca-fcall raised the match a bit above the ordinary, but it was exciting only in spots. Although carrying more Etrokes than Hunter the Englishman never was In a position to make full -use of his repertoire. Hunter kept Austin away from the net because the Briton has a fine volleying game and this strategy, coupled with his own terrific driving game gave him the match. In the women's division, Sarah Palfrey, 16 year old conqueror of Jlr. May Sutton Bundy, contin ued her brilliant play by elimin ating Mrs. L. A. Harper, of San Francisco in straight sets in the femi-final round 6-3. 6-3. She will meet 18-year-old Mary Greef of s City in the final round on Sunday. Miss Greef reached the final round by crushing Ethel Burkhardt of San Francisco. 6-2, 6-2. In the men's doubles Kenneth Appel of Frinceton and Bradshaw Harrison, of Tacoma, Wash., scored the big upset of the day. when ther eliminated the seeded pair of George Lott, Chicago, and John Doeg, 3-6, 6-4, 8-6. Barkeley Bell, of Dallas, Tex., and Gregory Mangin of Newark, defeated the British combination ofc Austin and J. S. Oliff, 7-5, 6-2.

Crrat Jkiiva rkt ramiA OST pitchers are so iioto--over in great style M riously weak as batters that the suggestion has been seriously advanced for a change in baseball's rule to allow a tenth player on a team who will bat in place of the hurler. Since the game began, in all leagues and other forms of basebaU activity. most pitchers have always been in the almost hitlesa group. The boys wbo specialize in fooling batters are generally helpless themselves when it comes to smacking their favorite missile! Therefore, when a pitcher does prove to be a capable batter he rates as a big novelty in the na tional game. "Lefty" O'Doul, of the Phillies, for instance, is a remarkable batter now that he has been definitely converted from a pitcher into an outfielder. He is undoubtedly, inspired by that most titanic of nrecedents. Babe Ruth, who poled out his first few homers k; lonrue nlav when a real ' nt.v.;n star for the Boston Red Sox. The Bam could steam them southpaw (he holds the record, you know, for pitching the greatest number of consecutive runless in nings in a World's Series) but, when his horns run abUity became marked, they broke Babe in as an outfielder so he could play every day. "Lefty" O'Doul, when a twirler, never showed the wealth of stuff that Ruth had; bat his slug ging career, so far this season, indicates that he has now found his playing forte. The generation preceding this "Age of Ruth" had another slug ging outfielder, Cy Seymour, who was onginaiiy a star pucner, oa later there was "Smokey Joe" I Wood, of Cleveland, who was a hard-hitting outfield for many sea sons after his great arm had lost its bafflipg snap in the service of the Red Sox. Of the pitchers who stuck or stick to the mound and are good hitters there are Bush, of the White Sox. and Lucas, of the "Reds." who are above the average in lining out safeties. The great as a young-f Walter Johnson, Dutch Reuther, Waite Hoyt, Carl May3 and Jack Scott were among the hurlers who could hit well. However, nine out of ten pitch ers are about as dangerous as cigar store Indians, land just as graceful when at the plate. Hurlers, espe cially in the big league, only play in every fourth or fifth game; so they hare not the experience at batting which the others have. The strain of the pm seems harder on the pitcher. They con centrate so much on curves that their batting practice is slighted. Luckily for MLefty,, O'Doul, Babe Rath and their Ilk, they took a serious interest in batting. If they hadn't, they'd be riding buses in the minor leagues today. Of course, that bunch had natural batting talent in their systems and they worked to bring it out After aTl, the trouble with most weak hitting hurlers is that they wont try hard enough to learn to line 'em out. 1 OwrrifM. 12. flat rmtoM BradtMta.

German contender for the vacant heavyweight throne will fight fori Jack Dempsey, or at least box un der the former champion's direc tion, may be determined tomor row at a meeting between Demp sey, Schmeling and the latter's manager, Joe Jacobs. Jacobs announced today he had received a telegram from Dempsey inviting him to a confer ence in Chicago tomorrow to dis cuss terms for Schmeling to fight under the old Manassa maul er's supervision; Dempsey is asso ciated with a group of Chicago businessmen. Dempsey, Jacobs said, may re turn to the ring next summer for a bout with Schmeling. This match, he believes, would draw a gate of S2.000.000. romped over Junior Boehmer of St. Louis, S-O. 6-1, wnlle ftis principal rival.

C, 610, 6-3, 6-1 In the Junior doubles. By their performance Gledhill and Vines branded themselves as one of the most formidable dou bles combinations in the nation. Teaming perfectly, they took the net at every opportunity from which vantage point they volleyed and smashed with great skill. Bryan and Hines fought hard but all they had to work most of the time were unreturnable shots. SARATOGA SPRINGS. N.

Pa., Aug. 16. (AP) They do strange things in the New York-Penn. league these days. Recently a centerflelder aided a batsman to get a home run when the ball bounced off his head over the fence. Today an other centerflelder made a doable play unassisted at first base. It happened this way: Cowboy McHenry, Scranton mid-gardener, came tearing in on a line drive from tbe bat of Hartford, Elmyra swatsmith. Pritchard. on first bse, sensing a eleaf single, had rounded base ana was still going. McHenry took the ball at his shoe tops and gathering speed, dashed to first, 'doubling Pritchard.
