dwarfed by the magnitude of at- traction in this modern exhibition of fighting skill.
 It is because of this magnitude, the intense public interest and the white light of publicity attached to it that this fight has been beset by so many difficulties. Rickard master promoter of twenty years experience, never has been forced to combat as much opposition as he has in the cro%ning venture of his career. From New York to Chicago, back to New York, then unexpected ly to Philadelphia and the sesqui- centennial, Rickard has taken the most discussed match of modern times. Inter-twined with his efforts first to obtain a battle ground have been succession of law suits, threatened injunctions and opposi- ton from various quarters No less than a dozen court cases in five diff ferent states have figured in the preliminaries to the battle.
 Not even such a series of ob- stacles, however, has distracted, in usual public interest from the strug- gle of the champion, Dempsey, after three years of idleness. to meet the challenge of the former marine. Tunney, product of New York's Greenwich Village and popular hero of the mass of fandom, If the opin- ions of its cross-section here can be accepted as a criterion.
 Dempsey, one Of the most devas- tating punchers the ring has ever known, has been established heavy favorite. Wagers on him, accepted as a barometer of public opinion. have reflected a steady lengthening of odds from 2 to close to 4 to l as the time for the bout approached.
 The champion. even though some doubts were entertained as to his ability to conN back after a three year lay-off, to regain his old punching power and speed, has been conceded a decisive margin because of his experience, terrific attack and ability to absorb punishment.
 Dempsey. all critics believe. will make a rushing, tearing battle of it from the start, just as he did against Jess Willard, whom he de- throned in 1919. and just as he did in conouering Luis Firpo In his last title fight three years ago.
 Tunney's best prospect of victory was conceded to be in the fighting going the limit or close to 1t. The ex-marine's defense has been built upon the idea of stopping Dempsey's early rush and his attack upon the theory, that If the first shock Is weathered, Dempsey will be a ready target.

.Rickard Hopes Both Men
 Will Mix It Up Strong

Philadelphia, Sept. 23 P) - Tex Rickard hopes Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney will make a hammer and tongs battle of it tonight to cap the climax of his greatest promotion enterprise.
 Its great match" said Tex, as he bit into his inevitable cigar. 'I won't make any. predictions but I hope if one of 'em is knocked down he has enough left to get up and floor the other fellow"
 These lawsuits and attempts to get injunctions have made it tough" ," the promoter went on, but I'm used to that. I had to take my first heavyweight flght-the Johnson-Jef- fries bout in 1910-from California to Nevada at the last minute after my arena was nearly finished. So you see this hasn't really been much trouble, after all"

PLAY FOURTH GAME 0F SERIES SUNDAY
Falcons and Kensington to Meet at St. Mary'S Field in Battle

Sunday afternoon at St Marye field, the Falcons and Kensington baseball teams will hook up in the fourth game of their series to de- eide which team shall take the lead in the standing. Both have won a game and each has a loss chalked up against 1t while in the third encoun- ter, the teams battled for 1s in- nings without either side having the edge.
 The fans who will see the game, are liable to witness another pitch CTS battle between Ginger" Cleary for the Falcons and Bucholz. the farmer, who opposed each other week ago Sunday in the game that set a record for length in this city.
 Kensington is prepared to give the Falcons the real battle of the series on Sunday afternoon, while Manager Joe Veniski has his charges all ready to battle Kensington, so from the outside looking in, 1t looks very much like a battle of battles as far as baseball games go.
 The Falcons will have their full strength on the field. Manager Ven isli states that some surprises may be sprung in Sundays game and he warns the fans to keep their eyes on the Kensington crew. Manager Buckley, hearing this, only answers back that the only surprise in store for those who plan to see the game. will be the easy manner In which Kensington beats the local team.
 kensington is baseball mad. With the Dempsey-Tunney fight out of the way. nothing will stop the entire town from coming up to St Mary's field to see the game. The packers of the Falcons will be there to man and there isn't any ques- ton but what there will be plenty of the long green in evidence before the battle begins.
 Both teams are ready. Nothing remains but to put the finishing touches on their game which will be done at practice session before Sum- day. Mike Lynch and Ripper" Me Keon will form the umpiring staff in the game and the contest will probably start early because of the reversion back to standard time.

|HOLYOKE TEAM TO
 PLAY HERE SUNDAY
All'NeW Britain Put Through
 Sdf Drill by Coach Hayes

Coach Dave Hayes of the All-New
 Britain football team, last night put
 the players and candidates through a stiff drill at the state armory on
 Arch street in preparation for the
 game Sunday against the Holyoke Professionals. Coach Hayes had the
 men working on offensive plays
 which, when perfected are bound
 to bring the scoring of the team to
 a high level.
 As usual, a large crowd of the fans who are interested in the team,
 was out to watch the players go through the drills set out by the
 coach. Formations of all sorts were
 on the program and as the team
 became more and more accustomed to the signals, more snap and pep
 was shown.
 The team which will oppose All
 New Britain on Sunday, is one that is likely to make the locals travel at top speed to pull out with a victory.
 Manager Alphonse Aoiseus of the Holyoke team is confident that New Britain is no match for his squad and he has warned Manager Ed
 Daley that his aggregation is a pow erful one.
 Hunt, the snappy quarterback of last years All-Norwalk team, who proved to be the hero in last Sum-
 days game against the New Haven
 Blues, was in the practice session
 last night for all he was worth. His ! ignorance of the signals last Sun
 day was responsible, he says, in a great measure for the failure of the team to gain more ground than it i did. The manner in which he went
 to it last night shows that he is de-
 termined to be at his best for the
 remainder of the season.
 Silent John" Davis who is a resi- dent pro tempore of Southington,
 was just as silent as ever last night.
 but he is absorbing all that Coach
 Hayes is telling the team about foot | ball. Joe Rogers and Tom Humph-
 ries are also working in their usual
 manner and there is none better.
 Murphy, the big tackle, who so
 much resembles Big Bilp Warner who is expected to join the team after the first of October, was not out with the team last night be- cause many duties which he is un- able to postpone, will keep him away for a time. He is well versed in the plays, however, and no diff ficulty will be found in setting him into his usual place In the line. Thompson, the fiashy back of Pennsylvania. will be with the team only on Sunday morning, but no one worries about his being able to ab- sorb the signals and play the game. Sundays contest will start prompt ly at 2:3O o'clock and the officials will be announced tomorrow. Hol yokes lineup is on the way and when it is published, it will show a powerful gridiron combination.

Prince Leopold Roofing
 For Tunney to Vanuuish

Brussells, Sept. 23 GP) - Crown Prince Leopold is pulling" for Gene Tunnoy to defeat Jack Dempsey to- night. On the eve of Leopold's de- parture for Stockholm to visit Prn- cess Astrid of Sweden, to whom his engagement has just been announc- ed, the heir to the Belgian throne made arrangements for the result of the fight be wired him as soon as received.
 Leopold never misses an important boxing bout staged in Belgium. In 1919 he watched Tunney throughout the American army boxing cham pionship competition. He sat in Gen eral John J. Pershings box when Gene won the light heavyweight cham mpionship. At the time he was a great admirer of the American marine and predicted that Gene some day would become worlds champion.
 T never saw Dempsey fight" said PrincesLeopold today, discussing the Philadelphia fight, but any man de- feating Tunney must be world beater and deserves to be champion of the world. ] will be greatly sur prised if Dempsey succeeds in win ming from Tunney."

of the challenger, and Jimmy De- fancy, one of Tunneys sparring partners, who is to meet Tommy Loughran in the sesqui ring tonight, made up one party. Jimmy Bronson, chief second, also spent the night in Stroudsburg and motored to Phila- delphia today ready to jump into the challenger's corner. Several hundred Stroudsburg citizens, head ed by Mayor c. L. Edinger, natural enemy of all process servers. left early today for the ringside. Mayor Edinger was decorated in the Tun- ney camp for his alert service in shooing away would-be process servers from the premises.

 A ninth inning rally after two were out scored all the runs Chica- 10 needed to beat the Tanks yester- day, 2 to 1. A walk, a passed ball and two doubles proved Sneakers undoing after he had fought man. fully to hold the single run lead his mates had given him. The Tanks hits Thurston safely but four times and his wildness alone made the gams close.
 Garland Buckeye, Cleveland's southpaw, had the Boston Red Sox eating from his hand while his boss, Iris Speaker, fielded sensationally in the to l victory. Four Boston er- TOTS helped the Indians cause along.

 The Dempsey-Tunney fight in Philadelphia tonight has made its presence felt in the baseball world. The Cardinals due to play New York today, will stage the game Friday instead so as to allow all fans to be in at the death in both spots. Chi cago will play today's game with Brooklyn as part of a double header Sunday.
 The remaining teams in the two leagues, playing out the flag end of the schedule, are drawing little in terest with the eyes of the fans fo- cused on the leaders.

 Taking fresh courage from the heroic last-ditch stand of Iris Speaker and his warriors, the Gin cinnati Reds today got back into the struggle after g day of leisure for them and saw the St. Louis Cardinals swamp the Brooklyn Robins, 15 to 2 and boost their lead to two and a half games over the Reds.
 The in-and-out performances of The Yankees have given the Indians courage to fight on even though, with but four games remaining the task appeared hopeless.
