Today, as the time for the battle

Dempsey, on the crest of a wave

ring q favorite, so far as the crowd
was concerned. but the general pre-
battle consensus regarded the out

Dempsey, were largely on a basis
of "even money, and take your pick. I"
The odds on knockout favored
Dempsey, conceded to be the harder
puncher Of the two, but the majority
of newspaper experts have gone on

Such strong support for q chal-

precedented but it was only one Of

Planes Identical
Rival pilots in the nonstop derby

Although nothing had been heard
from them during the early stage of
their race, no alarm was felt as they
planned to avoid large cities in fol-

shortest distance.
They expect to pass about 40 miles
south of Buffalo, N. Y, and Stinson
then MANNED to fly over Canada, re-
entering the U. S. about 100 miles

Grand Rapids, Mich, hospital, has
been revealed as the cloak Of a
lothario, according to Investigations

Mr.. Gloer has asked authorities
at Charlotte, N. c.. to swear to a

taken at the request of the former
Mrs. Emma Landridge of Washing

don in Charlotte in 1925 and also
said that she had married the evan
gelist by long distance telephone

a woman there had been married
to Jordon and that so far as she
knew 20 divorce had been obtained.

minister had wives in Winona,
Mimi, and Akron, Ohio.
The Rev. Mr.. Jordon disappeared
