PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. a.
This was a clear, cool September
day in Philadelphia-just an ideal

ownership of the world heavyweight

The management of the Dempsey
Tunney bout-which is expected to
start about 9:3O p. m. Thursday

If 1t rains, the fight will be held
the night following.
Should the fight get started and
then the rain come, Jack and Gene
probably win battle right along, re-

dicted that the crowd will stay.
