U. S. DANCER WINS PARIS.
Katharane Edson's Beethoven
Sonata" Steps Praised.

By Cable 70 The Star and New York World
PARIS, November 20.-The young
American dancer Katharine Edison
has, in the opinion of the best critics.
brought something new TO Paris. She
gave a concert performance a few
days ago. in the course Of which she
danced a Beethoven sonata, and music
by Scriabin and Debussy, besides CIV
ing an Indian dance suite.
Miss Edson's art was a revelation
to the audience. 1t was agreed that
her gestures and movements, while
often reproducing those depicted by
ancient Greek statues and bas-reiiefs.
had nothing Of the usual stereotyped
copies, but rather seemed alive with
inspiration and the very spirit of
those whose pure symbolic art re-
mained a model inaccessible through
scores of centuries.
One critic remarked: "If filmed dur
ing her dances every separate photo
graph would reveal a perfect picture
Of plastic beauty"

=INGSIDE SESQUI CENTENNIAL
STADIUM, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-
F..<ty thousand fight fans swarmed into
the stadium for the Dempsey -Tunney
championship bout tonight while the
coming was good-before the last hour
rush. Statisticians estimated before
darkness descended on the huge en-
closure that the advance mass, boxings
greatest crowd, had accumulated at the
rate of $4,000 an hour since the gates
were thrown open at $40 o'clock. Gain
ing in momentum as the hour for the
title bout approached the crowd gave
every assurance of capacity of gate of
$4,000, of which $4,000 were cash Gus
toners.
The we'll oiled machinery, drilled for
days to function at top speed, was in
the pink of condition. Sixteen hundred
ushers handled the crowd with ease as.

The late afternoon and early evening.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-09-24

In waves, the unprecedented mass
came until after darkness, when the
great enclosure seemed filled to the
last nook and corner. Gigantic lights
illuminated the ring and lesser lights
furnished a background for the great
crowd. Between the preliminary
bouts the back lights were turned on
to flash in relief closely packed
thousands, all looking to the magnet
of attraction a ring in which a
worlds champion was decided for the
first time in three years.
More than 125,OOO of the assembly
paid in advance to participate in the
festival of pugs.
A martial air was added by Off
GERS of the army, navy, and Gene
Tunney's own marine corps Officers
of high rank were on hand early, but
the rank and file came later, great
er in number and enthusiasm. The
fighting men out of the ring were
here to cheer the men in the squared
circle 1t was their night to howl,
and howl they did.
The crowd was not uproarfous in
the early stages of the evenings en-
tertainment. The enthusiasm grew
as the night wore on, and when the
worlds champion and the challenger
entered the ring the top was ready
to blow off. 1t did.
The roar of the multitude was like
the combined yell of weeks at
tendance at major league baseball
park.
Every walk in life claimed a place
in the picture. Newsboys rubbed ell
bows with bankers, and world figures
in international politics begged matches
from the common or garden variety
of worshipers.

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE.

the crowd was consistent, and as long
as there was no fighting in the ring no
declaration of war came from belliger-
ents in the crowd, the constabulary,
$500 strong, held itself in readiness.
Early arrivals had plenty to see and
hear. A crowd in the making proved a
worthwhile sight and as the record at
tendance was being compiled ten loud
speakers over the ring broadcast n1u-
steal program, tolerated but not APP
plauded by the early birds seeking the
ring worm. A quartet in good voice
for such an early hour started the ball
rolling.
Rival sports crashed the gate to COM
pete with boxing. Banners over the
stadium advertised professional foot
ball in Philadelphia and hockey in New
York. In the final swirl of enthusiasm
there was no lessening of sentiment
for the challenger among his thousands
of we'll wishers; but lengthening of the
odds to 4 to 1 on the chances of the
champion indicated that the hard head
ed bettors were not listening to their
heart beats. Little discussion of wag-
ers was heard in the stadium, growing
more and more crowded each minute.
The calm characterizing Tunney
in the clio ST n g days of his training
camp did NOT desert him as he attempt
ed and completed a forward pass to
top it off. Stepping into the plane that
brought him to Philadelphia, Tunney
asked "Casey' Jones if he carried a
parachute When told that he did not
but had the assurance of the airplane
driver that they would go down to-
gether, Tunney laughed and said:
"That's enough assurance for me-"
Arriving in Philadelphia for the for
NAL weighing-in ceremony and physical
examination by the medical representa-
tive of the Pennsylvania athletic COM
mission, Tunney's heart was found nor
NAL No extra pulse beats had been
added by the novel conveyance chosen
for the last lap. This bore out the
conviction of those in intimate touch
with the contender that he has nerve
in plenty, but no nerves.
Tunneys weight also proved a sur
prise when he scaled 1852 pounds at 2
o'clock This was expected to see him
in the ring at approximately 1876 to 1S7
pounds Claiming from the first of his
training period that he knew better
than anyone else his condition and
what he needed to perfect it, Tunney
set his sights for 1876 pounds at bout
time. He may have missed it by ounces.
Jack Dempsey, although his crown was
still on perfectly straight, was pushed
outsof the early spotlight by his rival.
Dempsey, Weighing 100 pounds at Q
o'clock, also surprised the wise ones by
his weight being. under the figure ex-
pected. DempseY,ehowever, had no air
plane and could not make a dramatic
He contented himself with
the slower but safer train and had no
welcome for his arrival
not long before time for him to enter

The failure of unexpected sell-out to
(some 1000 seats being left
at the box office) had the spectators
out on their feet. Many were over
stocked with the higher priced bits of
pasteboard and were forced to take
loss. Some tickets with a retail value
of $27.50 were reported sold on the
auction block at the stadium gates for
