 Rickard predicted that the attend ance and the gate" will be the greatest in the history of boxing. He was greatly pleased with the new stadium as the site for the bout, claiming it was better than any base ball park. He expects to seat be- tween 100000 and 125,000 persons by erecting temporary seats in the stadium grounds. The stadium pro- | per will seat about 5000.

CHERBOURG-PARIS
 BOAT TRAIN TRIP
Speeds Passenger From Liner to
 French Capital

Washington, D. C., Aug. 20 R)- One of the main roads to Paris which is travelled by thousands of Americans this summer leads from the harbor of Cherbourg.
 The train which you board is a "boattrain," a special made up to leave shortly after the arrival of transatlantic liner, that you and your fellow travellers may be taken with as little delay as possible to the place you are all eagerness to reach Paris.
 Signs and Symbols of France.
 As your train crawls out of the town you begin to see touches un- mistakably French: the railway workers in blue blouses, loose cord uroy trousers, and the inevitable caps; queer squat little box cars with French signs painted on them; great pile of coal dust and finished briquets; cars switched bX horses hitched tandem.
 You pass a huge bluff of rakishly tipped strata, old Notifications on top. Your train gathers speed, and soon you are in the country bowling along at a good speed through re- zion not as different as you had ex- pected from that in many parts of America
 But certain differences do stand out. You see only an occasional iso- lated farm house; most of the fields and pastures, hedge enclosed, have no buildings upon them. You are ready to believe that the falling birth rate has already depopulated France. But this Is only another ev- idence Of the predominant custom of living in villages. None of the houses you do sight are of wood; all are solidly of stone, Near them are miscellaneous little out houses with roof of sod. In the farm yards the two-wheeled carts seem to crouch, their shafts extending upward at sharp angle.
 Boards Sawed By Hand.
 There are practically no grade crossings: most of the roads are carried across the railway on brlck or stone bridges. The telegraph poles are different. The wooden cross arms are missing. Instead dozens oi little metal brackets extend outward from the sides of the posts. from near the ground to the top, each supporting a single wire. You learn that man power may still be cheap You see a sturdy French farmer or raised scaffold saving downward and lengthwise through a log. He is making boards by hand.
 You are about to pay your com pliments to France on the absence of billboards when one flashes into view. It is reasonably small and bears the name of a liqueur. A few miles farther on you sight one ad- vertising chocolate. But modified your compliment persists. At leas' there are few billboards. There are not scores of sawed out cows, cigar cite boxes, and bottles to hide the countryside;no acres of gaudy-palnt' cd boards singing the virtues oi every conceivable commodity from chewing gum. and dog biscuits tc bed springs and automobile tires.

brief. but before he left the legal difficulties encountered in New York were forgotten and final arrange ments made for holding the bout here. The state boxing commission, by a vote of to 1, approved the proposed fight. The one dissenting vote was cast by Charles F. White, negro, member of the commission. who asserted that Dempsey ought first to fight Harry Wills.
 It is expected that Rickard will return within few days and estab- fish his headquarters in this city. In the meantime, Jules Aronson, local fight promoter, who is associated with Rickard in staging the Demp- sey-Tunney fight, will take care of any matters that may come up.

pionship bout there September 23.
 Dempsey, according to his manag- CT, Gene Normile, has received sev- eral offers of a camp from country clubs near Philadelphia and from Atlantic City. He will remain at Saratoga Springs until Monday or Tuesday while Normile and Floyd .Fitzsimmons are seeking a site.
 Tex Rickard, promoter of the con- test plans to establish headquarters in Philadelphia Monday and feels sure that there will be no opposition Ito the bout. In fact, Rickard smiles oftener than he has for several weeks.

A Harvest of Tree Limbs.

The trees hold your attention; stumps with fresh switches spring ing out. or long naked, gangling trunks with feathery wisps of green at the tops-trees such as you have seen in paintings by French masters. A more experienced traveller explains that French farmers harvest their tree limbs as Americans harvest fruit The stronger limbs may be used as bean poles or other supports. Small CT ones are made into charcoal. Even the smallest twigs are bound into faggots. You see ordered piles of these bundles of fuel against farm house walls.
 The train stops at station label ed "Bayeux," and you see the three tall towers of the cathedral which shelters the famous. Bayeux Tapes try, that remarkable 11th century motion picture" of the Norman Conouest. So well proportioned ar the towers that you do not realize their great height and size until you notice doll-like houses beside them so dwarfed that you have overlook ed them.
 Demijohns on Station Platforms.
 Your boattrain swings past many small stations without stopping. You do not have to guess their names They are announced in letters seN eral feet high painted on water tanks or warehouse walls. You Won' der at the packages of freight anc express on the station platforms There are vegetables in crates, anc boxes whose contents you canno' guess; but chiefly there are barrels and kegs, baskets of bottles packed in straw, and queerly-shaped aeml' johns, also straw-encased. You arc reminded as you will be hundred' of times in the next few years, tha there is no 18th amendment 1T France.
 From time to time a train at sendant appears in the doorway O your compartment ringing hand he'll and announcing in French tha another service of luncheon is ready You show him your little purple O pink ticket and get a shake Of lh' head if it is not your turn, nod it is. When your time comes vol walk along the train corridor an( through the connecting vestibules '' your first meal in a European dinlnt car.
