(AP)- A six mile Jaunt through the hills about Lake Pleasant wai the. only exercise Gene Tunney en gaged In today to prepare himself for: hi heavyweight titular con test with Tom Heenej la the Yan kee stadium on July 24. The champion put off all ring work as he is due to hare thor ough workouts with sparring part ners and punching bags tomorrow and Sunday. Tunney will break the Sabbath for the first time this week end to entertain Tex Rick ard, who is expected to make bis first visit to Speculator tomorrow to see the hampion sign the New York boxing commission contract for the coming bout. Tunney breakfasted after his road work and then returned to his secluded cabin on the edge of the lake, where be spent most of the day cleaning up a two weeks batch of correspondence. Two things hare come up that hare stirred Gene oat of bis usual ly tranquil routing. One waa the unsatisfactory way in which Rick- ard filled his order for 100 fight tickets. Many friends have pur- ""Vhased tickets throughthe cham pion and of the 300 seats whlen Rlckard sent up here, only 20 were nearer the ring side than the 30th row. Tunney Intends to settle) his ticket problem when Rlckard ar rives tomorrow. The other matter which dis turbed Tunney was the New York boxing commission's ruling that his sparring partners. Harold Mays and Billy Vldabeck. the Bay onne. N. J., heavyweights would not be allowed to appear on the championship card. Both boys are; keenly disappointed and Tunney considers them victims of an un fair rule. The champion, however, will not permit them to suffer any financial loss because of the box lng commission's edict and he In tends to give each the puree he would have earned for his Yankee stadium boxing, plus his sparring partner salary. The sparring partners, given a holiday, spent it like the motor man who went trolly riding on his day off. They hung about the training ring, watching the bur lesque glove battles which several newspapermen and photographers etrged. Ul WILL MEET COMPSQII IT GOLF NEW YORK, July 14. (AP) Walter Hagen, British open golf champion, will play a return "2 hole match July 24 and 25 with Archie Compston. the giant Brit ish professional champion, who gave "The Haig" the worst drub-l bing he ever has experienced in a match in England last spring. The first 36 holes will be played at the Sandy Burr country club at Wayland, Mass., while the sec ond half will be staged the next day on the Westchester-Biltmore links at Rye, N. Y. Although the financial arrangements were not made known today, the profes sional stars probably will play for a purse exceeding 35,000. Badly in need of practice and .sway off form, Hagen took an 18 and 17 to play whipping from the blonde Englishman at Moor Park just prior to the British open title play, but came back to win the open tournament with a score of 292 strokes for the 72 holes. Hagen finished in a tie for fourth place in the American open a few weeks later at Chicago. Compston was the first golfer In recent years to whip Hagen, con sidered the king of match play- . era, in a 72 hole test. . In Florida two yearse ago. the Halg trimmed Bobby Jones, 12 and 11. Gene meter ace who in 1924 at the Bionals has beaten him twice over the long route in the past five years. FAIT ELK if By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor.) S. S. PRESIDENT ROOSE VELT, EN ROUTE TO AMSTER DAM, July 14. (AP). The pos sibility that Fait Elkins, former University of Nebraska all around star, might yet be Included on the American Olympic track and field team as one of four athletes in the Decathlon competition at Am sterdam, loomed tonight as a re sult of the latest exchange of ra diograms between the Olympic committee and New York Athletic club. - Advices to the effect that El kins had completely recovered from the leg Injury that eliminat ed him from the final Olympic Decathlon tryouts at Philadelphia prompted the committee, to radio to the New York A. C. A request that the "Chief" make a test of his fitness in several of the De cathlon events, and that a report of how he fares ba sent to the Olympic committee. - On the In formation contained in this report Ihe committee probably will de termine -whether Elkins will be Included in the final entries which are to be filed with Amsterdam authorities by July It. The. inclusion of Elkins would jneaa the dropping of Tom Churchill, of the University of Oklahoma, who finished fourth In : the final tryouts. Strong opposi tion to this course has developed MAKE OLYMPIC VET among some of the committeemen but the majority apparently feel that Elkins, if in condition. Is the only American with a chance of defeating the famous Finn. Yrjola. It also is pointed out that the Decathlon team will be no worse off even if Elkins fails since the inexperienced Oklahom- an is extremely unjikely to place. Ross , Nichols," the Stanford hurdler, who Is making the trip as a guest, and Frank Hussey, the sprinter, who was a stowaway, are doing more work aboard ship than any of the other members of the squad. There's little chance, however, that either will see Olympic action unless accidents to other stars force their inclusion. INF PARIS, July 13. (AP) Twenty years as an active Olympic athlete will be the record of Geor ges Andre, veteran French run ner, when he faces the starter In the 400-meter hurdles at Amster dam next August. It will be the fifth Olympiad In which he has competed. Andre made his debut as a rep resentative of France at the Lon don Games In 1908. He was young and inexperienced and falls dto show. His specialty is the hurdles, but he has also competed in the decathlon. At Stockholm in 1912 Andre finished third. As an aviator in 1916, the Frenchman, instead of taking part In the Berlin Olympics that never 1DIIET0 COMPETE FMMIAD came off, was engaged In negoti-lpf sting much more dirrieuit ana dangerous hurdles over the line of battle in the Argonne and Verdun. He did not fall. Antwerp in 1920 and Paris in 1924 found Andre still going strong, no youngster having been developed in Francs to displace him from the team. And he will be thers agaig at Amsterdam next August for the same reason. "Who is the greatest hurdler you ever saw?" Andre was asked "Thomson, the Canadian," An dre replied instantly. CISSELL'S FATHER, CHICAGO, July 14. (AP) Down the little Ozark community where "Chip" Cissell, the White Sox rookie shortstop received his first lessons in baseball, it is a tradition that there "never was a Cissell who couldn't play base ball if he tried." Perrysville, Mo., his old home town, still points with pride to a team of 25 years ago composed of all Cissells. On the team was the father of ''Chip." However, it was not until 190S that this group made the name of Cissell feared wherever baseball was played in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. With the 1908 team was Tes reau, the big Ozark bear hunter, who later became the ace of John McGraw's hurling staff. Max played first base and was consid ered a dangerous hitter and a star at his position, but he refused steadfastly to join the profession al ranks. Sam Cissel, "Chip's" uncle, held down an outfield birth. Another uncle, Den Cissell. a giant in stat ure, covered second and was a ter rific hitter. The story Is told that once Den connected with such force that his bat broke, the free end flying over second base. Tne most sensational of the Cissells, however, was Fred, the "one-armed marvel." Fred played a. V III suun wimoui a giove and waa feared at the bat because of his Texas Leaguers. inese rour cissells were the stars of the family. With Tesrean the group constituted one of the strongest semi-pro ball teams ever assembled in southeast Missouri. T TAUOMA, July 14.

(AP) Senator Fess of Ohio, key noter at the republican national convention, said in a statement today that the democratic plat form contained the "Bryan econ omic Tlewpoint as a whole" and aj. the same time "bids for what has been stigmatized as the 'interests' which has for the past generation! been the unfailing charge of the party against republicans." He predicted that the campaign would "furnish an unusual study! in political psychology in the op erations of the democratic man agement, adding the democratic convention adopted a plank on protection although the presiding officer Robinson of Arkansas, the democratic vice-presidential nom inee, was the author of "bitter assaults upon the protective tariff policy." "The repudiation," he continu ed, "of the platform on the eigh teenth amendment on the one hand, the protective plank in the platform, Governor Smith's state ment that business has no gruondj tor fear, and his selection of a national chairman (John J. Ras kob of Deleware ( who stands as head and front of big business, as wen as affiliated with the organ ized opposition to prohibition on the other hand, indicates clearly his course of action. . "To the Tammany opposition of the Bryan element so powerful In me past In democratic control. there Is now joined the influence of what democrats charge as wall street -in the management of the campaign, which will Insure the sinews of war. "Tnis new trend in the dem ocratic policy is due to the belief that the business east will deter mine the election and those move ments are the hope of victory." -rnis new trend in the demo cratic policy Is due to the belief that the business east will deter mine the election and those move ments are the hope of. victory."

Ths public market project ad vanced a step and then received a fatal, blow on Tuesday evening. Ths action of ths American Le gion at their meeting on Tuesday evening was to go on record as not favoring ths pun. The re port of ths American Legion com mittee was that thers was not suf ficient justification for ths Legion to spend money in the erection of market booths. i Also on Tuesday evening ths city council acted favorably on a request for the use of ths parking and part of the sidewalk on east First avenue north, near Main street and voted ths privilege of ths free use of city water. Ths action of ths Legion practl cally puts an end to ths idea of a market because all plans havs been based on the assumption that ths Legion post would build the booths. Bert Bates of Roseburg, famous funster and comedian of all American Legion gatherings and one of ths best Legionnaires in the stats, wandered into Salem Friday in time to attend the Dis trict conference.
