Critics Expect Dempsey
to Win by Knockout; Has
Good Margin ON G. Tunney

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 20. - On
the site where America is celebrat-
ing $50 years of independence, the
setting has been laid for fistic
battle between two modern young
gladiators.
Surrounded by reminders of the
glores of Americas embattled his
tory, Jack Dempsey and Gene Tun-
ney are expected to add spec
tacular and unprecedented chapter to
boxing history in a match next
Thursday at the Sesquicentennial
Stadium that cannot last more than
80 minutes.
Form Is Impressive
If the expectation of most expert
critics can be depended upon, it will
not last half that long. In spite of
competitive lay-off since 1928.
Dempsey, the champion for seven
years, is favored By the big majority
of observers not only to successfully
defend his title, but to win by a
knockout.
These opinions are based on Demp-
seys apparent comeback 40 close to
his best physical condition. his recog-
nized superiority over the challenger
as a puncher and despite Tunney S
own record for ruggedness and hit
ting ability.
For the privilege of witnessing the
first heavyweight title battle of ten
rounds in three years. Promoter Tex
Rickard expects a throng of 100000
to pay about $1.5O0,O0O.
Only such masses as have witness
ed the English Derby at EPSON, the
Grand Prix at Longchamps, or the
500 mile automobile race at Indian
apolis would compare with the throng
of fans expected to occupy seats in
the big horseshoe shaped structure,
or on the wide expanse of infield
at prices ranging from $3.50 to
$27.5O
Distinguished Gathering
The gathering probably will be
as notable in representative citizen
ship as 1t is in size. Governors,
cabinet members, ambassadors, Sen.
ators and Congressman. leaders in
business and society, men and wo-
men Of all walks of life will make
up the cosmopolitan outpouring.
The magnets for all this public
interest are two hard-fisted athletes
trained for a hand-to-hand struggle
that has million dollar stake. Their
immediate reward is a 5000 900 purse
of which s45O,000 goes to Dempsey
win, lose or draw-but to the victor
an avenue for amazing financial re-
turn is opened.
In these days of highly CONNER
cialized sports, the heavyweight
champions income is of stupendous
proportions. Not only can he com
mand close to half million dollars
Tor single ring appearance but his
revenue from motion pictures, exhi
billions and advertising projects may
run well into six figures without his
even working up a perspiration.
Politics interfered

when he knocked out Jess Willard

The space can be rented for

making an annual cost Of about
5000 per year for five years.
The bus company points out that
this proposal has the following ad-
vantages: Eliminate the noise which
has been bothering residents in the
neighborhood of it's present terminal
at Arkansas Avenue and Buchanan
Street Northwest; keep the BUSES
heated overnight; keep them cleaner;
make the deterioration costs less;
lessen maintenance costs; increase
the reliability Of the schedule and
centralize the control operations by
having the busses and the offices
in a single building.
The request will be considered at
a meeting of the Public Utilities
Commission tomorrow.
Earl V. Fisher, secretary OF the
commission, today. however. ques-
toned the business sagacity OF the
move He pointed out that another
bus company is building a garage
for SO buses in Virginia at cost
of about $4,000.
If the Rapid Transit Co. could do
this for its SIS buses, he says, the
cost to them would be less and at
the end of five years they would
own their garage. He suggests a
garage could be built on the COM
pany's property at Arkansas Ave
