Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NSW YORK, June 15.—A1l of a sudden Mr. George Lewis I ickard, the "Kauliflower King," l as begun to manifest a lively and f /mpathetic interest in the social Lyes of the news hounds or beagles. A news hound or beagle is an rlert, eager-eyed journalist who devotes all his waking hours to the

■ relentless pursuit of scoops, excepting the morning hours when he golfs and the afternoon hours when he rolls into the press box at the Polo Grounds. In some way or other word reached Mr. Rickard's ears of the frightful drudgeries to which the news hound or beagles are sub-

v

Williams

jected by tyrannical publishers, and he was deeply moved. ‘‘What them fellers need is a nice yacht trip,’’ concluded Mr. Rickard after listening to a harrowing recital of the .bleakness of their existence, r.nd the general misery of life among the paste pots and typewriters. .- :d so it happens that a boatload ui the boys went sailing up to Fairhaven Thursday on Mr. Rickard’s snooty looking yacht. It was a fine outing for them. The sea air did them no end of good. And there was a swell buffet lunch. a a a Mr. Rickard is a noble man. Life in this vale of tears (sniff, sniff) would be infiinitely sweeter if there were more big souled, selftacrifical men like Mr. Rickard, who can pause in the midst of the day’s hurly burly to think of their less fortunate brethren. a a a JT is just possible, of course, there may be some who will impute a sinister motive to Mr. Rickard’s yachting party, due to the presence of Thomas (Hard Rock) Heeney at Fairhaven, but to me this is hardly fair. The news boys may take advantage of Mr. Rickard and pervert an idyllic cruise into a vulgar ballyhoo for the Hard Rock, but if they do it will be a scurvy trick and Mr. Rickard ought never to forgive them. Besides, Mr. Rickard has his own press agents these days. He has assigned Stephen Jerome Hannagan of Indianapolis Speedway fame to Mr. Tunney’s cahip and he is soon to assign Francis Albertani to the challenger’s pasture lands. This is anew turn in the business of promoting a battle of the century, and whether it represents another phase of the vaunted Rickardian efficiency or is indicative of a dearth of natural interest is something that your guide and friend cannot answer at this_moment.

But, as I say, it is anew turn. Heretofore these battles of the centuries, especially those featuring the Dempsey fellow, were always hot enough to promote themselves. They needed little help from the inside in the form of canned publicity. a a a IT is clear that no intense public hysteria exists concerning the great spiritual issue in which the Messrs. Tunney and Heeney are involved. Appreciating this Mr. Rickard may have decided he needed high pressure publicists in the camps of his fighters. At any rate they are there. From a writing standpoint the chief drawback about Mr. Rickard’s card is that there is not a great deai to write about. Heeney is a plodder with no background, and, if you are to believe the experts, not much of a future. Tunney is a fighting man with no particular respect for his profession or his athletic associates. He’d rather talk to Prof. William Lyon Phelps about old tomes than to a fight writer about solid domes, and while such a preference as a mental stimulant is not to be generally scoffed at, it is not always productive of the sort of material that best feeds the ballyhoo,

The first piece of fresh homegrown fight news, or what might pass for fight news, that I’ve read concerning Tunney in weeks was his comment the other day to the effect he considered Heeney a serious challenger if for no other rearon that he is a heart puncher. a a tt THE champion has never seen Heeney fight; he made his observations during the showing of a fight film in which Heeney was a participant. Tunney is right. Heeney has a mean right hand punch to the heart. If he does anything at all against the champion it will be with this punch. It was with this punch Heeney fought himself into the championship picture. He landed it with plenty of vigor or fervor against Johnny Risko’s ticker in the sixth round at Detroit and the consequences were far reaching and important. Up to that turn Risko was leading by something more substantial than an edge. The righthander to the heart turned the tide. Heeney got the decision. As matters later turned out that decision won principally through the violence of a single punch, brought him the match with Tunney. tt tt tt In the final choice the selection rested between Risko and Heeney, and Mr. Rickard, while personally disposed toward Risko, didn't see how he could explain away that Detroit defeat, so he was compelled to accept Heeney. The right hander to the heart did that.

1927 Champs Reach Top in Hickey Loop: Milwaukee Pulls Up. INDIANS IN COLUMBUS Betzels Go on Road Until June 23. BY EDDIE ASH After dropping three games in a row to the Milwaukee Brewers, and losing the league lead during the slump, Bruno Betzel’s Indians hit the trail for Columbus Thursday night to be gone until June 23 Casey Stengel’s Toledo Hens, 1927 A. A. pennant winners, were occupying the Hickey roost today as a result of downing the Saints Thursday while the Tribesmen were tak. ing the third consecutive setback ai. the hands of Jack Lelivelt’s Home Brews.

Beginning this afternoon, the Indians will battle the Senators five times in Columbus in four days anc then move on to Toledo for a fourgame series before again appearing at Washington Park. Schupp Off Form Tribe bats didn't speak with enough power in the pinches Thursday in the finale with Milwaukee and the visitors took the honors, 6 to 3. Ferd Schupp was not himself and took the count in the fifth, an.’ he was the losing pitcher. Yde, who relieved, baffled the Cream City pastimers with the exception of the ninth when two hits, a stolen base and a bad throw combined to give Milwaukee its sixth and last run. It was a hitting day for the Brewers and they collected seventeen safeties, including a home run and three doubles. Layne Breaks “Spell” The feature from an Indianapolis standpoint was Herman Layne’s home run in the sixth inning for i1 marked the first time a local pastimer had crossed the plate since the fifth inning of Monday's game. Asa matter of fact, the Brewer pitching was so good during the series that the Tribe was held runless for twenty-six consecutive innings. not counting, of course, the ninth round of Monday’s game in which the Betzels did not bat because they won that tilt, 4 to 3, without taking their hitting turn Ln the final inning.

The jinx was put on Thursday’s fracas insofar as Indianapolis was concerned when Bates, first Brewev up, socked Schupp's first pitch for a circuit trip. Right there, evidently, the “death sentence” was pronounced over the Indians. Many Runners “Left" Th 6 Brewers poled ten hits off Schupp and seven off Yde, with the visitors having twelve runners left on base and Indianapolis ten. Tall Claude Jonnard, Brewer hurler was effective in the pinches. With the Tribe in Columbus, local fans see a ray of hope for their favorites to get back into a winning stride and regain some lost ground. The Betzelites were home for a long stretch and perhaps the change to foreign territory will bring the boys back to better form. The A. A. race has become tighter than a flapper’s new slipper. Milwaukee, pre-season pennant favorite, made a big gain at the expense of the Indians and has reached third place. The Brewers went home Thursday night to meet St. Paul today. Nick Allen.

First Time Williams Lost Bout on Foul

Sports Editor, The Times: On behalf cf Bobble Williams I wish to proffer a sincere apology to the boxing fans of Indianapolis and the Ft. Harrison management, for the disappointment occasioned by his performance against Howard Bentz, Tuesday evening. June 12. We make no comment on the referee's decision which adjudged Williams guilty of an unintentional foul, but we are worried by the thought that the unfortunate occurrence may have endangered the fans’ good will, which we prize highly. Williams never before lost a fight on a foul. Williams Is young in years and green in ring experience. He is impetuous, a hard fighter who neither gives nor asks for quarter, but he is a real sportsman in the very best sense of the word. They don't come any better than Williams. He had the fight well won, and in his anxiety to win he may have been reckless. Experience will correct that fault and Tuesday's bout has been an invaluable lesson to him. The postponement unquestionably affected the form of both of my bovs.' Williams started slowly and Zink was below his usual self. Zink is 18 years ard 4 months of age, has been boxing one year and had sixteen fights. Williams Is only 21 and Tuesday's bout was his twenty-seventh fight—so he really is only anew hand. Yours.

Champ Gene in Training for Title Go Bill United Press SPECULATOR, N. Y.. June 15. Gene Tunney was to have another secret boxing session today, the second since he resumed active training Thursday for his coming fight with Tom Heeney in New York. Tunney did eight miles of road work and boxed four rounds behind drawn curtains. It was the first time since the Chicago fight Tunney put on the gloves and rumor came out that he was missing punches and generally in need of this form of training. He left the enclosure in a serious mood. Word was given that none but Tunney’s trainers would be permitted to see him for several days. He punched the bag Thursday before a large crowd, but ordered curtains dropped when the sparring began. Gene boxed two rounds with Charles Rosen, East Side welterweight, and Billy Vidabeck, lightheavy. bi h of whom appeared none the worse for their work. Tunney carried a scratch over his left eye. Tunney now weighs 199 pounds, ten more than when he fought in Chicago.
