HEN Gene Tunney retired from the ring, to marry and pursue literature and the arts, he said in effect: “Good-by, boys. I'm through. You have been fine to me and I appre- ciate it, lsub from now on I hope that you will dlrect such interest as has come to me through boxing toward my suc- cessor. Henceforward I crave mone of the attention or publicity so necessary to the financial welfare of & champion. To quote David Everett, ‘don’t view me with a critic's eye, but pass my imper- fections by, Don’t view me at all, in fact, unless it is merely because of per- sonal friendship toward a private citi- zen. ®You made me what T am today, but, | 5 after all, I should be credited with an assist. I earned my money, not really in the 45 minutes I gpent in rings in Philadelphia and Chicago, but in the seven years of hard, grinding, patient work I put in preparing for those ef- forts. Now I want to rest a little, Kl:y & bit and study along a different line. #ail, and farewell.” Surprised and Annoyed. stated his position, Tun- ed and annoyed to find the same old eyes trained on him, the same old soutenir hunters reaching for the soap as hé bathed, the same throng of a few hundred going for walks with him, and the same human dictaphones installed all over the place. Gene decided that it was best to go to Europe, where things might be some- what more restful. In Europe it was worse, ‘There he was a real movelty. Crowds did, and do, follow him every~ where, Europeans of any class were, it is true, too polite to invade his hotel rooms or disturb him when he was eat- ing, but Tunney is not the only citizen of the United States in Europe. Just as he lifts a spoonful of soup to ‘his lips in any Euh!lc dining room, he is 1ikely to be socked heartily on the back by some cordial countryman, who has never met either Tunney or any mem- ber of his party, and to hear a hearty home voice booming: “well, well, Gene! Put ‘er there, My name’s Tommy houfcanhAuoogrd J]ph th::e for the family an en come ot ta y“dywhlle I take a for the guys at the club.” Tunney usually rises, shakes hands & bit wearily, writes his name on a few cards and explains that he never ‘has his picture taken between mouthfuls. Meanwhile the visitor tells him about hearing the Philadelphia bout on the radlo and seeing the pictures of the bout in Chicago. When he finally goes back to his own crowd Mr. Ollcan says: Ot course he was mighty glad to see me, but I don’t just like his stall- ing about going out where T could snap- shot him. I'm afraid the big bum's get- fing @ little high hat, sithough of course he wasn't that way with me. We fellows are the guys that made him, and you bet he knows it. ‘The big stiff would have been driving a truck it it adn't been for us.” hTunney also is somewhat frritated out in the front snapshot of you Price of Fame ment when he was sald to have hit a photographer in Cannes has nothing to do with the news value of the story. Then there was that thrilling romance about his killing bulls. So far, Gene never has even killed a baby ct.‘hli'cbu‘ morning, and when he is at Brioni, plays lsm:mlea of lsolf a day and then . He goss sw fon, which is just as well, not because ds to do any more box- ment letely out of the limelight. He does not see why he cannot move about without attracting any more attention than the average man. He doesn’t know that once a man is news he always is news. Gene be news all his life and his funeral will be a front page story. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daper Alliance.)

By the Assoclated Press. ARIS, May 20.—Eight days of | marvelous tennis in an admirable | setting are in prospect for fans gathered for the thirty-eizhth hard-court championships start- ing today. The doubles will be plaved before the signals. There are 40 entries for the men’s doubles, 46 for the mixed pairs and 26 for the women's doubles, and in that number are almost all of the game's greatest figures, Experts forecast that the semi-finals of the men's doubles will find Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter, Jean Borotra and Rene Lacoste, Rene De Buzelet and Christian Boussus and Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon lined up, al there is a chance that the Ex J. C. Gregory and I. G. Co! remove the French youngste Buzelet and Boussus. No experts doubt that Helen Wills and Hunter and Lili D'Alvarez and | Borotra will be found in the semi-finals of the mixed doubles along with Eileen Bennett and Cochet and either Mme. Serpleri and Baron Umberto De Mor- purgo or Mme. La Fauric and Lacoste. As for the women's doubles, the entry list is rich with strong teams, such as Bobbie Heinie and Miss Neave of South | Africa, Miss Lapscott and Miss De Smidt, also of South Africa; Mme. La Faurle and Mme. Mathieu of France, Miss Wills and Miss Cross of the United States and Mrs. Phoebe Watson and Elleen Bennett of England, the present holders of the title. ‘The star events on today’s program include matches between Tilden and Hunter and the Danes, Rasmussen and Nielsen; Miss Wills and Hunter against Mlle. Metaxa and G. Glasser, and Bo- rotra and Senorita Alvarez against Mme. Bernard and Magaloff. ‘The touring team of American women shaded & French women’s team yester- day, four matches to threei The team play developed a hard fight for Helen Wills, her most difficult match, in fact, since her defeat by Mile. Lenglen, ac- cording to the American gourts queen herself. ‘This opposition was provided by Mme. Mathieu, the former Mile. Simone Pas- semard, who matched Miss Wills almost stroke for stroke through the first set only to see the American girl win by eight games to six, The strain of this encounter proved so great that the French woman was unable to win a game in the second set, which saw Miss ‘Wills drop only 9 points. The same pair met again in the doubles, which decided the team match. Miss Mills and Miss Edith Cross won from Mme. Mathieu and e. La Faurle, 6—2, 2—6, 6—4.

S SPORTS. — CLYDE VAN DUSEN ENDS DERBY CURSE One of Only Seven Geldings| to Win—McAtee Seeking Third Victory Now. BY ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, May 20.—The jink that seemed to heset the renowned Man o’ War and his illustrous line in quest of the most coveted of American turf prizes—the Ken- tucky Derby—has been broken by the victory of that superlative mud runner, Clyde Van Dusen. Man o’ War’s sire, Fair Play, failed to produce a Derby winner. The famous son of Fair Play- Mahubah was himself denied the chance to compete in the classic at Churchill Downs in his three- year-old year, 1920, although later that year Man o’ War conquered the Derby Winner, Sir Barton, in a special match race. Bad luck, moreover scemed to strike the offspring of Man o' War as they came later to the races. A number started in the Derby, but none even broke into the money until Clyde Van Dusen, a gelding, came splashing home Saturday under a fine ride by “Pony” McAtee to beat 20 rivals and win nearly $54,000 for his owner, Herbert P, Gard- ner of Amsterdam, N. Y. Sired by Man o' War, named for his trainer, bred in old .Kentucky, but owned by an Easterner, Clyde Van Du- Heres a new way sen’s victory was a dramatic_addition to the long and colorful history of the Derby. Only seven geldings are among the Derby winners, but they loom conspicu- ously, nevertheless. No victor was more popular or more renowned than Old Rosebud, the great gelding that set the Derby record of 2:03 2-5 for the mile and a quarter in 1914. Then there also was Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Extermina- | tor, familiarly known as “Old Bones” and “Old Slim,” which won in 1918. On the way back to New York, dis- cussing the big race as calmly as though McAtee said: “After that first turn, I never felt any doubt about winning, tough as the Boing was. cinch to handle and did eversthing I asked of him. T've been lucky enough to win t in three years (McAtee was on Whiske in 1927), and I would like to equal or | beat the record of old Ike Murphy, who rode three winners.” Murphy, the only three-time winner and a Negro, piloted Buchanan in 1884, the Riley and Kingman in successive years, 1890 and 1891.

The implements of fistic warfare belong to Baby Sal Sorio, 19-year-old n Bernardino, Calif., Mexican. They have dealt knockouts to some 55 of his 75 opponents, and tonight he will at- tempt to remove Morgan from his | throne with the short but effective snap | of his dynamite-laden fists, The champion, with experience and g generalship greatly in his favor, the. long end of the betting odds, but his position nevertheless was con- sidered none too secure. The consensus that the title holder would require all of the Ting cleverness acquired in his | fifteen successful title defenses to carry him through the ten-round battle with the youthful Mexican challenger. | Babe sal will carry his bid for a world’s title almost solely upon the power of his fists. Punches that travel bout six inches, Baby Sal snaps from cither fist with jolting power. These astating pinches Morgan hopes to ade with his gantling 71-inch span, nches greater than Sorio's. Few, if any, challengers ever have gone into a championship fight with & knockout record such as Sorio has |achieved. Morgan never has a | puncher, his record as compared with | Baby Sal's showing that the Mexican lad l':;s n}a‘l;kcdkupéusl seven times the number of knockouts Morgan has - | tered—minus one. * e T i2 { to learn geography One by one the towns drop behind.
