ing was to be made at the Philadel- phia navy yard. adjoining the Sesqui- Centennial exposition grounds.
 Tunney decided to make the trip by air to avoid the hardship of a lengthy automobile ride over wet roads. The former marine did it over the protests of members of his training staff. who entertained fears for his safety.
 Tun1<y, heavily wrapped in a leatLer jacket and overcoat, joked with Jones as they slimbed into the Curtiss Oriole plane. The challenger was outwardly undisturbed and in good spirits.
 Second Time in Air.
 It was only the second time Tun- hey has taken an air trip.
 The hop-off was made from the third fairway of the Shawnee golf course. It was witnessed by only a few newspapermen, who had accom- panied the fighter from Soudsburo and a small group of golfers.

Jack Feels Great

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept, 25FCPl- lJack Dempsey never felt better in his life' than today at the end of months of rigorous training routine that have prepared him as well as human agencies can for his battle with Gene Tunney tonight.
 A dish of prunes, a poached egg on toast and beaker of weak tea comprised the scanty breakfast of the champion. His second meal, at 4:30 D. m. was limited to a small steak, dish of peas and more weak tea. This late meal indicated that the titleholder would not arrive in Philadelphia until just before he must enter the stadium and pre- pare for the defense of his title.
 After weighing in in the presence of a sesquicentennial official in his bungalow -batchelor quarters in West Atlantic City, Dempsey's program allowed him time for short walk before the departure of his train at 5:30 or 6 p. m.
 While Gene Tunney was playing fine golf yesterday, Jack showed equal class in his daily checker tourney with Mike Trant, his friend and body guard. After whipping Mike decisively, aslis his custom, the champion went to bed at 9:3O and was lulled to sleep by the cricket chorus that collects nightly for re- hcarsals In Dempsey's back yard.
