Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Friends of Mr. Will Gibson report that an incredible change has come over him. They tell you he is no more like the Will Gibson of days gone by than Sarazen, the horse,

,is like Sarazen, the golfer, with or without rolled oats. It is told that he has discardhis dinner jTtoat and bridge lor sweaters and pinochle and that there is a spirit of democratic abandon and loose hilarity about the man that has , been singularly lacking for several years. Visitors to his

J

Joe Williams

office tell of seeing him with his feet resting on the top of his desk, his derby riding at a diagonal angle, and sheets of closely typed paper of containing the morn“ing workouts at Saratoga spread in yegimented rows in front of his gaze, j Where it formerly was necessary j to send in your card by a secretary, only to be informed invariably that “Mr. Gibson is in conference,” now fell that is needed to see him are a pair of legs with sufficient energy to carry you from the elevator into his office. “Send the mug in!” u a u l This, lam told, is how Mr. Gibson is receiving all visitors these days. This, moreover, seems to be typical of the general softening of the atmosphere around Mr. Gibson and the gradual disappearance of that stiff formality which has held him in a strange grip for many months. o tt tt “T don’t knoV what has come A over him,” commented Lou ©rix, who handles Mr. Gibson’s fighters, “but he certainly is a different man. Only this morning he came in whistling and singing. I thought at first he was sick or something.” The answer is, if you must know, Mr. Gibson is back in the fight racket, and back with one of his kind of fighters. It will be recalled that Mr. *Gibson retired along with Mr. James Joseph Tunney amid solemn ceremonies not so long ago, and when Mr. Tunney announced in chaste phrases that he was retiring from boxing to devote his energies to other and greater interests, Mr. Gibson mopped his moist lips with a napkin and confessed that he was “getting out of the racket, too.” * st )t It must have been plain to everybody that Mr. Gibson was not happy as the manager of Mr. Tar.ney. This was due mainly, I •Mature, to the fact Mr. Gibson had about as much to do with the ► actual managing of Mr. Tunney after the championship was won as Nero had to do with the development of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. tt tt tt

At,t. that he ever knew about his champion was what he read in the papers, and he didn’t ' get around tc the papers very often. ' Mr. Gibson’s new heavyweight is i Knute Hansen, one of the old line fighters who not only has no I scruples against being managed but gives incontestable proof that he ought to be managed. There is nothing that Mr. Gibson and journeyman managers of jhis type like better than a fighter who doesn’t mind how often le fights as long as he doesn’t have to do any thinking for himself. Mr. Tunney was a rank renegade in this respect. He insisted on doing both the thinking and the fighting for the alliance. Mr. Gibson is not likely to have the same experience with Hansen even if the Can? prospers to the extent of winning the title. One of the things that Mr. Gibson wanted to know was whether Hansen was addicted to Shakespeare in a violent way and whether he had an urge to go before the literary class at Yale, Harvard or Miilsaps to lecture, and when Hansen replied that he never heard of Shakespeare but that he liked Spearmint pretty well Mr. Gibson was prodigiously relieved. tt tt tt It is further reported that Mr. Gibson compelled Hansen to promise to keefi away from novelartists, professors and fashionable Connecticut settlements. What’s more, Hansen is not to agree to accompany any writer \ on a walking tour. Mr. Gibson’s argument was that it is silly to walk when taxicab fares are as cheap as they are, even counting tips.

TRIBESMEN LOSE ANOTHER AND THEY ARE HANGING TO A. A. LEAD BY THREAD Wednesday’s Game Goes to Blues, 5 to 4, Big K. C. Rally in Fifth Doing the Damage; Millers in Position to Gain First Place.

Bp Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 30. Bruno Betzel’s Indians, leading the A. A. pack since June 23, were on the verge of being ousted from first place today. In fact they were hanging by a thread. The Tribe lead was reduced again Wednesday when Kansas City won a tight tilt, 5 to 4, giving the Blues three out of four in the series and with one game to go this afternoon. Minneapolis, in second place, has a double-header with the seventhplace Senators today and can take the lead by vanning two if the Blues again drop the Indians. Blues Close Up Kansas City also is close up in third position and in a choice spot to do plenty of damage. The Blues have won sixteen games in their last ninteen starts and Kawtown fans are “pennant wild.” The march of the Zwilling crew has been remarkable. They slumped badly on their last road trip and their goose appeared to be cooked, but after returning home the K. C. pastimers got busy and launched a terrific winning drive. The home record that put the Blues back in the pennant running follows: Wnn four out of five from Toledo. Won three out of four from Columbus. Won six In a row from Louisville. Won three out of four from Indianapolis. Games won, 16; games jogt, 3 Rally Beats Bill Bill Burwell tried his hand against the Blues Wednesday and a big K.

The Blues rushed four men around in the fifth and Indianapolis scored one run. in the seventh and eighth. Jimmy Worth, Tribe rookie outfielder, hasn’t caught on to A. A.
