Philadelphia, Sept. 25 P-With the legal atmosphere cleared by the dismissal of all injunction moves and the weather clearing after 8 morning of intermittent showers the Dempsey -Tunney heavyweight championship battle apparently had hurdled it's 11th hour obstacles.
 At 2 p. m. the sun came out to dry the dampened rows of seats at the sesquicentennial stadium, scene of tonight's battle, and warm the multitude of fans making up the most spectacular jam that ever accompanied a sporting event any where.
 Three railroads, their facilities taxed to the limit, estimated they already had handled 80,000 ar rivals. On this basis 1t seemed that close to 100000 fans would figure in the final crush to fill the arena to it's capacity of 132,00o.
 There was no prospect Of more than a threatening weather gesture for the rest of the day and the crowds began their "big push' to- ward the arena, where the fight preliminaries start at p. m., with the championship bout slated for 9:3o or 9:45. The big corps of ticket t-6andlers, ushers and police prepared to let the advance guard into the stadium at o'clock.
 The arrival of the challanger, Gene Tunney. by airplane from his Stroudsburg training camp added a colorful episode to the days ex- ctement but also sent q few shiv CTS down the spine of Tex Rickard, contemplating the resulting risk to his record investment of nearly s2,O00,0o0.
 Dempsey is not expected to ar rive before evening. He was due to make the trip in a special car from Atlantic City.
 Dempsey became an even strong CT favorite to defend his title after it became known he had sealed 190 pounds at Atlantic City. This was an advantage of four and a half pounds over the challenger, who scaled 1S5 1-2 pounds here. It was within two pounds of Demp- seys weight when he won the cron from Jess Willard seven years ago and indicated the champion was in fine trim.
 Wagers were reported at odds of as high as 4 to 1 on Dempsey with little Tunney money in sight. The bulk of bets were made on the basis of a knockout victory for the titleholder.

Flagstaff S New
Toboggan Slide
Is Nearly Ready

FLAGSTAFF, Dec 21-Flagstaffs
municipality owned perpetual mo-
tion tobaggan slide will soon be,
ready for action, was the announ-
cement given out by the local
chamber of commerce who with the
Northern Arizona Teachers College
are sponsoring the directed pro-
gram for winter sports this year.
The slide is being built on the
north slope of Observatory Hill
just above the new entrance to
Lowell Observatory. A shelter
has been built which in addition
to being haven for the lovers of
this sport will be the starting point
of the slides.
Tobaggans to accommodate four to
six people will be used. 1t is said
that the tobaggans will attain
speed of 60 miles an hour and that
they will be plenty safe enough in
rounding the curves in the slide at
this breakneck speed. The slide
is also. being banked high enough
to avoid spilling.
Leaving the top of the hill the
tobaggans drop off at as degree
angle and attain such speed as to
climb UP another hill, less steep
however, before reaching the end
of the slide a quarter of a mile be-
yond. The second lap of the slide
is only 100 feet away All that is
necessary to reach the other slide
is to carry the tobaggan this dis
tance and be whisked away to the
starting point of the first slide at
even greater speed
