Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, July 28.—ThU Isn't an easy story to write. I mean It is somewhat incredible. Professor Will Gibson is writing a book. I came across him in the hills of Westchester Monday. There he was, sitting under a spreading oak nibbling the end of a pencil and looking searchingly into space. He greeted me apologetically. “I'm one r>t you guy* now" he explained. “I'm a writer." I thanked him lor the courtesy and asked him what he was writing. “My biology." he answered. “A syndicate feller came up here the other day and said he eduld sell It, I bet him he couldn't. I just v;ant to prove that he Is wrong." It was plain that the professor had got biology and auto-blography confused. But then he always was a gentleman who liked to scramble words, and mostly Just for laughs. I think he was the individual .who christened Dudley Field Malone. Deadly Fumes Malone when the distinguished barrister first Joined out with Tunney. The professor ought to be able to turn out a grand story at that. It all depends on what he says, or rather how much he wants to say. Ha has been around a long time, a little too long, perhaps, for the younger generation. He had two great champions—-Leonard and Tunney. If he restricts himself to a conventional recital of their ring exploits the story will not be very hot. but if he goes behind the scenes and depicts the sinister manipulations which are inevitable in the success of any champion—even a great champion—lt will make fascinating reading. nun “T’M going to start out with my 1 days at the old Fairmount Club,” says the professor, ‘‘and work up to Tunney, and the Tunney stuff ■will be the kick.” There was a pause here. It seemed significant. “You know Tunney and I have split out don't you?” he added. I hadn't. It didn’t seem Important. Tunney is no longer a fighter, and a split out between a non-fighting champion and a manager did not appear to be news. As the professor sat there with poised pencil and writing pad there seemed a threat of impending trouble. Hasn’t It been written that hell hath no fury like a manager deprived of his meal ticket, or am I thinking of a serpent's teeth? It occurred to me that possibly the professor was meditating over that mysterious contract signed a few hours before Tunney stepped into the ring to fight Dempsey for the championship in Philadelphia, the precise details of which have never been disclosed. The, party of the second part was 800 Eoo Hoff, who was to Philadelphia at the time what Capone is to Chicago and in the same sense of power, what Mussolini is to Italy. By the terms of the contract 800 800 ■was to receive a monetary interest in Tunney's future fights. As I understand it the gentleman has yet to receive a dime—and they tell me a dime is big money these days. At a later date 800 800 instigated legal action but upon reflection decided not to press the suit, which would seem to indicate that he had no faith in his claim. Nevertheless the whole affair was quite baffling to the puritans of sport and if the professor elects to present the document and the purposes thereof in its true light I am sure it will be read with interest. I have been told that this contract. whatever its intent, originated wholly i the mind of the Professor, although the facts are that it is signed not only by the Professor and 800 800 but by Tunney who chose, possibly by way of being unlaue. to sign his name as Eugene Tunney. nun UNLIKE a number of evil-minded critics I have never held to the suspicion that this piece of paper was contrived to serve a base or corrupt end. Still the professor has always been highly conservative in public and it isn't likely he will write anything that will embarrass anybody. Including himself. I also am anxious to see how he treats the subject of Leonard and the lightweight title. There are a lot of people who will tell you Leonard was never a lightweight as to pounds and that he was maneuvered into more than one championship match at the scale figure through the Ingenuity of the professor. I am sure it would be most interesting | for future managers tn similar predicaments to know how to take a welterweight and sell him year after year as a lightweigh. a trick which surely must reach far beyond and much higher than the simple business of Juggling the scales. But the chances are the professor will not be disposed to go very deeply into this. That's the trouble with the autobiographies of great men. Very seldom do they tell you what you want to know. And of great women, too. I read Peggy Joyce’s and still I have only a vague idea j of the lady’s technique.

Queen Helen Opens Bid for Coveted Seabright Net Bowl

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent SEABRIGHT, N. J., July 28.—Mrs. Helen Wills Moody will step gravely out on the center court here today ar.d begin a drive for the big silver bowl that goes with victory in the women’s singles division of the annual Seabright invitation lawn tennis tournament. The Seabright bowl is one of the few tennis trophies that has defied the skill and power of her magic racquet. The California ace has made more than one bid for the trophy and each time her quest has ended in failure. This time the bowl would seem to be all but wrapped up and delivered to the California matron. Despite her long layoff, Mrs. Moody is playing the game of her life and Miss Helen Jacobs, Mrs. Lawrence A. Harper and Miss Marjorie Morill, to mention three of the stars that

GENUINE MANILA STUB CIGARS 7 FOR 25c

By Times Special NEW YORK, July 28—“I absolutely have no idea of quitting. I don’t quit!” That’s the way Ownie Bush, fiery little manager of the Chicago White Sox, denied reports he was ready to withdraw as manager of the Pale Hose. Ownie also denied having words with Owner Charles Comiskey. ‘‘Of course I’ve been pleading for pitchers, but who hasn’t? My staff is riddled. I’ve got four pitchers wno can work and one of them, Pat Caraway, has worked so often he’s lost his effectiveness. Ted Lyons is out, probably for the rest of the season, with the injury that has kept him on the bench all summer. Big Jim Moore is back in Chicago with ‘trench mouth.’ Hal McKaln nas an inflamed shoulder and is out indefinitely, perhaps for the rest of the year. That leaves me Red Faber, Vic Frasier and Tommy Thomas.. They’re pitching great ball, but if they hate a bad day, who can I send in to finish?” Injuries also have handicapped Bush. Smead Jolley, slugging outfielder, has been out all season. Carl Reynolds, fleet outfielder and leading hitter, also has been absent most of the time with injuries. Chicago rumors say Bush, whose home is in Indianapolis, will step out when his two-year contract with the Windy City club expires in October, and that Urban fßed) Faber. 42-year-old spitball pitcher, who has spent eightee nyears with the Sox, will take over the reins. But Bush denies he’ll quit. ‘‘l’ve never stopped trying, and I won’t,” he shouts.

Second Place Battles Hold Big League Spot BY" LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 23.—With Philadelphia and St. Louis enjoying comfortable margins of leadersh-p, interest in the 1931 major league pennant races centered today upon the battles being waged for second place. Chicago, New York and Brooklyn are staging a spirited contest for the runner-up position in the National League, while in the American the New York Yankees are closing in on the Washington Senators, current holders of second place. The Cubs, eight and cne-half contests behind the pace-setting Cardinals, hold a half game advantage over the Giants and are a full game ahead of Brooklyn. Washington .eleven games behind Philadelphia world champion Athletics, have a three-game margin over the Yankees The cardinals, although idle, add-

ed half a contest to their leadership Monday when Chicago lost to Philadelphia, 7 to 6. An early lead off Guy Bush, coupled with excellent relief pitching by. Jim Elliott, enabled the Phillies to win. The Cubs retained second place, however. for the Giants lost to Pittsburgh. 8 to 6. The Pirates made the best of their ten hits and took advantage of two New York errors. Rube Walberg registered his sixteenth triumph of the season and his third victory in six days by pitching the Athletics to a 5-to-4 ten-inning victory over the St. Louis Browns. Eric McNair’s home run in the extra frame enabled the A’s to win out after they had come from behind to tie the connt in the ninth. Washington continued its apparently hopeless pursuit of the Athletics with a 11-to-7 decision over the Cleveland Indians. The Senators pounded three Cleveland hurlers hard as Garl-Fischer, rookie southpaw, registered his tenth victory. New York and Chicago divided a doubleheader, the White Sox taking the first game, 8 to 7 in ten-innings, and the Yankees capturing the nightcap. 13 to 3. Lazzeri’s error enabled the White Sox to win out in the opener which saw Babe Ruth pound out his twenty-seventh home run of the season. The Yankees bombarded McKain and Caraway for seventeen hits while Wells held the Sox to seven. . ... ' .. i Boston defeated Detroit 13 to 4. in the other American League contest. An eightrun assault on Bridges in the fourth inning enabled Macfayden to coast to victory. Mark Koenig, shortstop, pitched the last two innings for Detroit and held Boston scoreless.
