Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—As a show, the spectacle of the heavyweight champion of the world tossing his million-dollar crown into the ring and telling the boys to fight for it s nothing to stimulate business among ticket scalpers. Somehow the kick is not what it, might be. Mr. Gene Tunney, dressed in business tweeds, his face strangely colorless as if touched by the gravity

of a mighty decision, his voice rolling along in t the soft even f monotone of a , pipe organ in the lower registers, stood behind a long white table in one of the Biltmore dining rooms Tuesday and surrendered to the finer and nobler urges in life. With a few carefully and slowly

-v :y

Tunney

selected phrases, the son of a longshoreman, who fought his way to the top of the world among fighting men and into an immense fortune, stepped modestly and simply from the glamor of the spotlight into the obscurity that envelops a private citizen. a tt tt It was all very simple, and just a bit too solemen to be exciting and good fun. Perhaps the event did not legitimately call for any overpulus of hurrah or lessening of tension. After all, Mr. Tunney is the first heavyweight champion ever to turn his back on millions and this, I suppose, is not to be done laughingly. a tt tt STILL, I think the passing of the young champion could have been made to appear just as impressive and definite if there had been less of a funeral atmosphere about it. There were times when'l felt that at any moment one of those professional mourners from an undertaker’s parlor would move into the toastmaster’s chair and take command. Mr. Tunney, in stopping down, said a number of very nice things about the boxing industry, one or two of which he may have really meant. "I am going to miss the smell of the resin, the glare of the lights and the roar of the crowds,” admitted the ex-champion with emotion. “But most of all he’ll miss those big checks,” wisphered the severely practical Mr. Benny Leonard, a retired champion himself, who was among those present. “There is nothing quite like a boxing contest for drama,” went on Mr. Tunney. “No play or book can equal it, for always you have the feeling that in the play or the book everything will end well. But tn the ring it is different. 'You never can tell.” a tt u It should be mentioned in this connection that Mr. Tunney was not including those Ted LewisJack Britton tournaments of the Leonard-Dundee week end parties, in which the element of drama and uncertainty was seldom conspicuously present, if at all. tt tt a ONE of the interesting developments of the sad and solemn abdication was the decision that the memory of the retiring champion shall be handed down to posterity and dime-a-dozen heavyweights in the form of a belt to be known as the Muldoon-Tunney trophy. From now on this is what the well-dressed heavyweight champion will wear. I asked Mr. Tex Rickard, who also sat at the long table, looking quite indecent without his cane and perfecto, if he didn’t welcome the return of an era when heavyweight champions would fight again for belts. “You can give ’em belts and suspenders and an extra pair of trousers, but they’ll still be coming to me for those millions,” he commented grimly. From this it was plain that the promoter did not look upcn the movement to reintroduce idealistic practices in the game with any stupendous degree of enthusiasm. He was reminded, he said, that Mr. Tunney had never insisted that he be paid off in belts. In fact, if his memory served him, plain, common money was always good enough for the retiring champion. Some of the boys profess to believe that he still can be persuaded to come back next year if a worthwhile opponent and the promise of a rich gate loom. Don’t believe it. The young man is through. He wouldn’t come back if he had to. He’s just that different.

Semi-Finals Played in City Womens Golf Tourney at Coffin

Field Stars Score Points for America Trackmen Fail Down, but Big U. S. Lead Unhurt. BULLETIN AMSTERDAM, Aug. 2.—Ray Conger failed to stem the tide that is carrying American track men to defeat, when Larvia of Finland, won the Olympic 1,500meters run today. In the first heat of the 400-meters trials Herman Phillips of Butler University, finished ahead of Dupont of France, the other qualifier. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor AMSTERDAM, Aug. 2.—The slender and rather frail appearing Ray Conger of lowa today was called upon to succeed where other United States trackmen have failed. Conger is the one American entrant in the 1,500-meters finals—a race filled with the star middle distance men of the world—and a victory for this veteran lowa runner would do much to cheer up the United States trackmen. Not that United States’ victory is threatened greatly in this ninth Olympiad, for the wearers of the red. white and blue shield are well ahead, but the team wants to regain some of its lost track prestige. Such famous track stars as Charley Paddock, Charley Borah. Bob Mac Allister, Frank Wykoff, Lloyd Hahn and Ray Watson have gone down to defeat behind the flying feet of British and Canadian runners. Not a track event has been won by the Americans. It has remained for the field stars of the United States team to amass the 12312 points that have placed America more than three times farther along than the closest competitor—Great Britain. One hero has emerged from the ninth Olympiad and it is the slight, 130-pound Percy Williams, a 19-vear-old schoolboy of Vancouver. He chased away the United States’ giants in two thrilling runs—the 100-meters and the 400-meters—to carry two firsts for Canada. Bud Houser and Sabin Carr set up new records Wednesday, in the quiet and workman-like way that characterizes their track activity. Houser tossed the discus 155 feet, 2 inches to break his own Paris Olympic record. Carr established anew Olmypic record by vaulting 13 feet, 9% inches.

She battled even' on to the eleventh hole which she won and was one down. Mrs. Buchanan won the next two holes. The match went dormie on the sixteenth. Mrs., Buchanan holed out for a halved hole, but discovered she had played the wrong ball and lost the hole. Miss Abbott did the same thing the hole before. The best Miss Abbott could do was halve the next hole in 5 and the match was over. A feature match in the championship consolation flight was between Miss Marjorie Fischer of Broadmoor and Miss J. C.

with the visitors winning, 5 to 3, J when the “breaks” turned againstj the home club. But in the second ; tilt Bill Burwell uncorked his old- j time deceptive pitching and blanked the invaders, 6 to 0. And Bill beat Fred Heimach, star southpaw of the league. The defeat of Ferd Schupp in the Wednesday opener broke the hearts of the fans' for he pitched ten innings of shutout ball. The first fracas Wednesday would have been over in regulation time if Comorosky’s drive had gone through I in the eighth. It was a sizzling liner that Murray, shortstop, snared and turned into a double play. In the eleventh, with Comorosky on third and Layne on second, with only one out, Huek Betts, Saint chucker, passed Holke to get at Warstler. The Indians tried the “squeeze” play and Betts threw the ball in the dirt, and Warstler couldn’t reach it. Comorosky was eijased at the plate and then Warstler fouled to Tesmer. Foss and Haas hit home runs in the opener. Haas and Anderron each got four hits. The athletes were well worn during the extra innings. In the fifteenth Schupp finally weakened and doubles by Funk and Morehart, a safe bunt by Betts and Anderson’s sacrifice fly ended the struggle. - Matthews made a beautiful catch on Roettger in the third inning of the first tilt. He took the drive with one hand out near the flag pole. Russell’s home run in the second game hit the second fence in right field. It was a mighty swat. Dick Burrus, new Tribe first sacker, will join the team Friday or Saturday. Bud Connolly accepted twelve chances without a miss in the Wednesday nightcap. Haney zipped a single and two triples off Heimach. Walter Betts pitched great ball in that fifteen-inning conflict. Holke’s drive in the fourth round of the long game nearly cleared the low fence in right. Davis backed aganist the barrier to make the catch. Two runners were on at the time. Teh Indians are having a tough time with their bunting game. Matthews had nine putouts in center in the first, contest. Layne was a busy bird in left in the second.

Tex’s Meet May Develop into ‘Flop’ Rickard Must Uncover Unknown Youngster to Brighten Eliminations. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—“ The next heavyweight champion will come up from the ranks,” Tex Rickard said to the writer after Gene Tunney announced his retirement from the ring. The premier promoter of all time believes the next champion will be some unknown youngster who will catapult to fame overnight. Unless Rickard can uncover some youngster with a punch, the heavyweight elimination tournament) which he will stage, beginning in September, is likely to prove as much a disappointment as the last tournament which developed Tom Heeeny as the challenger for Gen© Tunneys’ title. The first step toward clarifying the heavyweight situation was not made by Rickard, but by Humbert J. Fugazy, who matched Johnny Risko of ICeveland with Roberto Roberti, the giant Italian, for a tenround bout at Ebbets Field, Brook-* !yn. Aug. 15. Rickard went on a fishing trip after Tunney’s retirement and will not return to the city until next week. Until that time his plans for ■ the heavyweight tournament will remain undetermined, j Jack Sharkey, the Boston brag- \ gart, who knocked out Jack Delaney j in seventy-three seconds in his last important bout, will figure prominently in the tournament. Jess McMahon, Madison Square Garden matchmaker, conferred with Johnny | Buckley, Sharkey's manager, in Boston, in an effort to sign the Lithuanian for the first bout of the tournament. From a reliable source it was learned that every effort was made to have Tunney meet Sharkey in a bout in September before retiring, but that Tunney would not forsake his plans for touring Europe with Thornton Wilder, the noielist, for such a match. Tunney is outspoken in his opinion of Sharkey and does not hesitate to say that the Boston boxer does not have the courage to become a champion.
