Having revealed himself a crack

catch of fish yet to his credit this

atter an overnight visit to the
estate of Charles K. Lewis, of

prowess with rod and fly by catch-
iiik during the first hoars of his

in a day on open streams. Presi
dent i 'oolidge astonished even his

calmly shooting a crane at 1'u
yards with a .ax automatic pistol.
The visit to Lewis, which bewail
yesterday afternoon following a

Session. i
LONDON. lOug., Aug. -T. (I1)
There Is a good chance that Gene
Tunney will achieve his wish to
meet George Mernard Shaw, who
is taking a holiday at Antilles, in
France.
The Dally Mull's correspondent
at Antlbcs told Shaw of Tunnoy's
expressed desire to meet him and
the latter replied : "Tell Gene 1
will be delighted to meet him, in
fact I have every intention of malt
ing his acquaintance-. I will ho
back in London September Li ami
hopn to see him then."
Shaw added that, he did not in
tend to allow reporters or photog
raphers at the meeting. "We will
meet, (is private gentlemen," ho
said. "I will discuss boxing and
Gene will discuss liternture, so we
ought, to get. along very well."
Shaw thinks that Tunney Is very
sensible In giving up boxing now
that he inlendH to marry. "Look
what happened to Carpent ier and
Dempsey." he commented. "Mar
rlage softened them and finished
them.
"All I know about Tunnoy's lit
erary taste is that lie disapproves
Cnshel lly ron's profession," Shaw
said. "So do I. It shows he has
some taste and that we have some
thing in common."
