Hollywood, Dec. 4.--(UP) An. other of Hollywood's bloodless bat ties, this one between Spencer Tracy, actor, and Director William Wellman, ended in 8 draw-with participants announcing they were the best of friends in shaking hands. The bout followed the one- punch tradition. Tracy and We'll man took one sock at the other in the center of an exclusive cocktail room.

 In Hollywood Style
 In approved Hollywood manner bystanders allowed Wellman to land his right on Tracy's eye before separating them whereupon Tracy then waited for his opponent to make a move. Wellman smiled and extended his hand in token of apology and friendship. The actor accepted.
 Reached after the fight. Tracy sai We had a misunderstanding and others made fight out of 1t. "

The evidence will be presented shortly to Suffolk county grand jury.
 Killed by Bullet
 It was first supposed that Lewis D. Richards, 27, of Somerville, a civilian employe of the prison, had been beaten to death with an iron pipe by one of the five fugitives. But an autopsy performed last lll6AAb " AtACQACdl-A1AetAAAAA VVAAAoAA J. Brickley resulted in discovery of 8 .38 calibre bullet which struck Richards heart.
 A ballistician traced the bullet to the gun of Guard John Hughes, who was absolved by prison author ities of all blame. It was learned that as some of the fugitives fled in a communicated truck, they held up the .bludgeoned and semi-con- scious Richards as a shield against the bullets of pursuing guards.
 Bludgeon Could Do It
 Discussing the basis for possible f1rst-degree murder charges against the three surviving prison- breakers, authorities pointed out that Rich- ards might have died from the bludgeoning even if he hadn't been shot. They added that Rich ards death might be considered first-degree murder since the fugi- tives used him as a shield with the knowledge that he probably would
