GENE PREFERS ID
 DISCUSS AUTHORS
Admits He is in Boxing Game to
 Get What He Can Out Of It

Speculator. N. Y., July '1G P- When Ecater managed to get Gene Tunney alone for a fe" minutes he seemed to be more inclined to dis cuss the latest books than his next battle. Gene was quite frank about matters. He admits he is in the box ing game 10 get what he can out of it and then retire and devote him. self to travel. reading and study.
 As tt type he must be a phenom- ,non in the history of pugillsm-a man with the body of a Spartan ath- lete and with the mind of the Athen- ian of the. days of Pericles. with the same worship of self restraint and the same intense desire for knowl- edge.
 He said he liked the regime of hard training for it's own sake, but that he would be glad when all the excitement and publicity were over. There was no trace of atectatlon about him. Speaking in quiet. pleasant voice Gene told Reuter- of his love for the English poets and essa yists. He admitted freely he was only d beginner and often found them difficult to understand. Never- theless they were source of aDid- ing pleasure to him.
 He said Shelley, Keats, Lamb and Iiazlitt were his fayorites. and among living writers George Bernard Shaw. He especially liked the pre- faces to Shaw's works. and he thought they should be collected into q book. He is reading at his camp Shaw's Tine Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism. Tnnney expressed d most keen de sire to meet G. B. s. when he goes to Europe later in the summer with Thornton Wilder, the author.
 After Tnnncy's trainer had hnst led the champion to bed. Reuter- had a talk with an artist friend of 1un- nev. who had come all the way from Seattle to be with Tunney while he trains, The artist said he and Tun- pey never discussed boxing or the coming fight with Tom Heeney. He was SlIlfplN lHtlt, lit ai 'i'' asserted, as a mpanion to Tunney on his walks. He talked to him about literature and art and read to him as Gene fished. He revealed that Tunney's love for the finer , things of life was genuine and sin cerc, and especially his liking for l good hooks. He declared Tunney i had a mind and views of his own l and that one of the reasons for his unpopularity with some people was i because he was unwilling to make any concessions to the popular con ,cption of what a hcayyw fight l champion should like and do.
 The artist said Tunney was very l sensitive about his love for books. as
 laany American papers had sneered 1 at him. The other day. for instance,
 some newspaper photographers dis 1 covered Gene sitting on a rock read ] Ing a book of poetry.

Head Coach Lawson Robertson
 After Sprint Supremacy

Aboard S. s. President Roosevelt En Route to Amsterdam, July 1G CP) With Charley Paddocks amateur status apparently settled after blustery weeks debate, Lawson Robertson, head coach of the Ameri can Olympic track and field team. has mapped definite plans designed to regain Olympic sprint supremacy for the United States
 The last chance of any new de- vclopmeni in the Californias sprint CTS status seemingly was dissipatcd yesterday when the Olympic com mittee rejected the appeal of Roland Locke. Matt NcGrath, Wecms Bas- kin and Norton Jackson that they be included on the team when the final entries are filed July l9.
 Locke had been named official al tcrnate when Paddock's status was under fire just before the Olympic team sailed but it was understood that the coaches favored running Henry Russell, former Cornell sprinter, in the 200 meters at Am sterdam if Charley was removed from the squad.
 It is planned now to adhere to with the maximum nomination Of eight in the four hundred meter re- iay. Tests at Amsterdam. no doubt. will determine which four of the oc- tet will be chosen to run in the re- lay.
 With the Paddock case disposed of and the appeals of Locke. Me Grath, Baskin and Jackson turned down. the chief topic of discussion aboard ship became Fait ChicD Elkins and his chances of becoming one of the four Americans in the decathlon competition at Amster- dam. Elkins, one-time national ! decathlon champion, was forced out | of the final tryouts in the decathlon ! at Philadelphia when he suffered a | leg injury. He asserts that he has recovered from the injury and would i be in shape 10 compete at AmSter- dam. The Olympic committee or ! upltu nun lo llidh d test III ss'NFI di ] of the dccathlon events and report 1 the results 10 the committee by ra- 1 diogram. If the results are favor able the comE'ittee may place him ! on the decathlon squad in prefer "nce to Tom Churchill, of the Uni versity of Okla homa, who finished l four' h in the final trials.
 
 Athletic talent was prominent In i the Sunday night ship concert. Bob i McAIlls;er. the flying cop. who con siders himself a man of destiny in the Olympic 100 meters, was reveal ed also as the owner of a mellow ! tenor. The contest closed with rival
