Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N, V., Aug 22.—Tex Richard, the prize fight man. stood cut on the clubhouse lawn here the other day and watched a leggy black olt leap and jump his way into a stretch-finish victory in the opening test of the card. “I had SSO On him,” smiled Rickard. "This horse racing is a pretty

good business. It beat- trying to make money on fellows like Tunney a *v and Heeney.” The horse Rickard bet on was Spear Rock The *’ was Laverne Fatoi "ex say- he bet >n the jockey lot the horse Jockeys are likt igh te r s," he ells you. "The ivetty good ones usually win.” Rickard does

not come around the tracks often This is the first time he has been out this year. He likes goli and yachting better these days. a a a The track has been an irresistible lure to many notabl,: cf the fight game. Packey McFarland, Johnny Dundee and Jack Dempsey had stables at one time or another. A number of fight managers have dropped fortunes in the betting rings, including Billy Gibson. Scctty Monteith, Dan Moran and Pete Reilly. a a tt BUT as far as Rickard is concerned, the lure is trifling and incidental. The betting ring will never get much of his money, and you will never see him listed among the stable owners. ‘‘One reason I don't aspire to distinction as a turfman,” he coniesses, “is that my legs don't look good in puttees.” To the surprise and consternation ot your correspondent. Tex had not -been talking five minutes until he turned the conversation to —ot all things!—the subject of prize fighting. Some days ago, you may recall, this column suggested that it Rickard dared charge any fancy prices for his threatened heavyweight bouts this winter, he ought to take his head to a stone mason and have it examined. This on the presumption that the simple manner in which Tunney had disposed ol Heeney, supposedly the best ot the contenders, was proof enough. that there was little class to the big fellows in their present circumstances. B B B Rickard reluctantly admits this to be the truth and promises that the eliminations will be priced in accordance to the potential abilities of the performers. Whether this means that some of the eliminations will be staged at a 39-cent gats Tex did not reveal. B B B RICKARD’S August candidate for the championship, which Gene Tunney cast aside with a careless gesture, is none other than Knute Hansen, the not-so-melan-choly Dane. Contrary to popular professional belief, Tex believes Hansen has plenty ot fighting spirit, and says it will surprise him no little to see this youngster outdistance everybody in the next twelve months Incidentally, the way is being paved to make Billy Gibson the manager of Hansen. You may have heard of Gibson. He is the gentlemen who retired from the game lor all time along with Tunney a fortnight ago.

Liska’s hard hit grounder hit Swetonie on the shoe in the second. Haney took the ball on the carom and threw in time to retire ' the runner. Harris cheated Matthews out oi an extra base hit in the first with a great running catch against the right center wall. When Comorosky whiffed in the fourth inning it was the second time in two days that he did so with Joe Pate pitching against him. Burwcll batted for Swetonie in the fourth and singled to keep Ihe rally alive. He then went to the box for the man he succeeded at the plate. Comorcsky robbed Yoter of 6 double in the fifth by dashing to the right centerfield wall for his savage liner. Harris went far to left center to j make a beautituJ running catch of Burrus screaming drive. With Matthews on base as a result ot an error m the eighth, Connolly bunted past McCullough and ceat out the roller for a hit. Layne was a poor substitute for Russen, even with a left hander in the box. Layne grounded out his first time up and theh whiffed his next two times at bat. ! Harris ccok a two-base hit away i irom Comorcsky with two on in the I eighth when he hauled down nis | long smash near tne flagpole in the j deepest part ot the field. !

The Millers used Pate and McCullough after Liska took the count before the Hoosier attack. Old Reb Russell clouted a home run early in the fracas and Harris, j Cotter and Hayes walloped circuit drives for the Millers. In the final , sum-up, Indianapolis collected fifteen hits to ten for the Kelleyites. Manager Betzel had Dixie Leverett for his ace in the hole to send out against the Millers this afternoon and it was believed Man- J ager Kelley would use Clayton Van j Alstyne. It will mark the twenty- I fourth meeting between the clubs this season, and the last time they clash during the current campaign.

Gene Arrives in England; Gets Ovation To Be Married in Paris, Former World’s Champ Announces. liii United Tress PLYMOUTH, England, Aug. 22.Gene Tunney, retired heavyweight champion, arrived today aboard the liner Mauretania and revealed he intended to be married in Paris. His engagement to Miss Miry Josephine Lauder. American heiress, recently was announced in the United States. A large crowd shouted farewell to Tunney as he left for London. Outside of merely announcing he would be married in the French capital—an announcement that did not include the date loi the forthcoming nuptials—Tunney declined to discuss his marriage, which probably will not occur until alter Oct. 1. He said his visit to Europe, previously announced as a walking tour in company with Thornton Wilder, would include a visit in England with George Bernard Shaw. The former heavyweight champion said that Shaw was coming to England from a holiday in Italy especially to meet him. There was a rousing welcome given the smiling, suave former champion as he came down the gangplank from the Mauretania. Tunney seemed to appreciate the welcome greatly. He said his mother was coming to Europe to join him.
