PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2s.-Have
you ever stopped to consider what
it means to, handle a crowd Of
130, 900 persons? That is q mans.
sized herd OF humans.
But at the Philadelphia battle 1t
Is not only necessary to handle
that many persons at the gate but
also to see that each ticket holder
gets the exact seat which is called
for by the ticket.
Many spectators viii be- late.
Many win be nervous. Some viii
be quarrelsome and unreasonable.
But it is obligatory that each and
every one be guided, controlled and
seated.
William Stflgman will direct q
force Of 1900 usllers. Fifteen hun.
bred men are q force equivalent
to q regiment. Billy StilIman
should have the title Of colonel.
He earns it.
This regiment OF nsherse viii be
subdivided into companies and pla.
toons and squads. Each usher win
seat over 100 customers. He will
be responsible Tor the area which
that represents. Over each 10 ushers
will be a head usher, responsible,
for the handling Of over 1000
spectators.
Commanding these head ushers

Billy StiIlman has handled many
a crowd, but never one as large as
this. No sporting event ever had
seen a crowd as large as this. But
Stiilman will take care Of 1t. He
knows his men and he knows his
work. Not a Senator will be in
the wrong seat. Not a governor
will be out Of place.

/ pointed out to the champion
that Billy Gibson. manager of Gene
Tunney had declared that Dempsey
would be handicapped in his hitting
power by the fact that only light
bandages are to be used and that
the mechanics tape is to be used
but sparsely.
The laugh is on Gibson" he said
II wanted as little bandaging and
tape used as possible. My hands

not so sure about Tunney's. j fig.

Dempsey's plans called for a late

that he may be placed under ar
