WILLIAMS SAYS.
. SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 27.—The life story of Col. Ed Bradley, the old gambling man who recently cashed in his chips, will be written by a woman, Mae Andrews, native New Yorker, and for the past 29 years _ & close, personal confidante of the family. A pleasantly buoyant Irish woman who still is on the youngish side, Miss Andrews had begun the biography of the threetime Derby winner some months before he submitted to an operatitn from which he was fated not to recover completely. Indeed, the biography was begun practically at the request of Bradley; certainly with full family encouragement. The biography, entitled “Tables and Turf” is three-fourths finished and twill be published by Scribner's in early winter. L. B. Mayer of ‘Hollywood is negotiating for the film rights. Although the bouncy Miss Andrews never has won Pulitzer prizes she nevertheless has a number of assorted literary performances on her card and for years has published a sort of A. G. Spalding's guide on Palm Beach and Miami Beach social conceits. There is a ‘touch of the ironic jn the fact that she is doing Bradley's life story, for it was the old gambler who first sponsored her as a pen-and-ink slave. To this extent she was his protege. » » . ” ¥ » I sat with the Andrews gal watching the races here and she was running a high Hibernian fever of disgust. It seems that as soon as Bradley died several literary ghouls moved in, presented themselves to publishers and Hollywood producers as intimate friends, singularly equipped to compose the saga of the most famous gambler this country has ever known. “We hadn't even buried the Colonel,” she snorted, and snorted {s the word, “when one of these characters announced that Gary Cooper would play the lead. How do you like that?” 1 was not interested to the point, where I liked or disliked it but the Andrews gal made it vehemently plain that she didn't like it at all
v » . ” - ” She takes Bradley as a runaway boy at the age of 14 and carries him the full route of his colorful life. To be a best-seller emphasis must be placed on his gambling activities and the Andrews gal is undoubtedly shrewd enough to realize this. It develops Bradley talked freely of these activities in the bosom of his family, and the Andrews gal was usually there and, as she says, “I have awfully big pig
r » » “Who were the biggest players to frequent Bradley's club in Palm Beach?” I wanted to know,
“That's a to answer accurately. But one of the biggest players was a woman, the late Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, One night she broke the bank three times on $50,000 plays. The Colonel seemed rather proud of her, too. He commented: ‘You know that probably never happened before in any other gambling house in the world’ ” Even the Andrews gal isn't too sure about the biggest bet Bradley ever made. “I know of at least one $100,000 bet he made and I describe it in the book. Oddly, it wasn't on one of his horses either.” Just what it was on she is not saying at the moment. “You know, of course, he would bet on anything; elections, wars, panics, even the weather. Beuing was his business.” » She was with him the day he was SmONtY * Washington by Huey Long to testify before the senate finance committee which

Records Tumble as Talbert and Mulloy Doggedly Battle to Doubles Championship-
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Aug. 27 (U. P).—Five new records were listed today for the National tennis doubles tournament, but none can tell the story of the gritty comeback of the new men's champions, Bill Talbert of Wilmington, Del, and Gardner Mulloy of Miami, Fla. Three of the marks were compiled in the men’s final as Talbert and Mulloy surged from the brink of defeat to win their: third title by edging bespectacled Don McNeill and former army fighter ace Frank Guernsey of Orange, N. J. 3-6, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3, 20-18. The 74-game match exceeded by three games the previous longest final in 1930 when George Lott Jr. and John Doeg outlasted John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison.
And the 38-game final set was the
longest ever played in a men's final doubles match and also the longest deciding set. Previous record marathon set was 30 games in the 1029 final among Lott and Doeg and Berkeley Bell and Lewis N. White. A fourth championship record was fashioned by Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Cal, and Margaret Osborne of San Francisco, who annexed the women's doubles diadem for the fifth straight year.
Their easy 6-1, 6-3 triumph over Mrs, Mary Arnold Prentiss of Los Angeles and Mrs. Patricia Canning Todd of La Jolla, Cal, broke the mark they shared with Alice Marble and Mrs, Sarah Palfrey Cooke, who swept to titles from 1837 through 1940.
The fifth record was established by Mrs. Hazel Wightman of Brook-
line, grand lady of tennis who paired | league pennant, ‘will be

Though it might be difficult to] prove, Talbert and Mulloy very well | may have set other records. During! the tournament they were on 10] occasions within a single point of | losing their doubles title, As early as the fourth round, Bel-| glan Davis cuppers Phillipe Washer and Jack Van Den Eynde had them one point from elimination. Then,! Frank Parker and Bob Falkenburg of Los Angeles twice were within al point of sending them to the side-|
