FORMER BATTLES PALE IN CON- PARISoN WITH ToDAY's BIG
 CONTEST
BOTH IN PRIME SHAPE
MOST SENSATIONAL COMEBACK DRAMA BOXING GAME HAS
 EVER KNOWN

CHICAGO, Sept. P. (P-With it's last legal barriers cleared and the city swarming with the greatest fight crowd of all times the Dempsey -Tun- ney battle of dollars, opens htters, and mixed opinions, moved toward a eli max.
 The actual fistic combat tonight starts at approximately 6:45 o'clock Pacific coast time.
 In it's attraction and world wide in- terest in the fierce bitter character of preliminary debates, in the size of the stakes involved which is $1, ,450,000 for the two fighters, as we'll as the magni- tude of the promotion enterprise, the second chapter of the Dempsey -Tun- ney feud far outskirts any sport event in history. The so-called battles of the century within the past few years are pale by comparison.
 AO C1OWo 1S GApCCLSu IO SudLIST all records by numbering close to 15O,OO0. It will pit Tunney, the soldier and masterful boxer champion, against Dempsey, the plunging, personally slugger, who was badly beat en year ago by his handsome foe but who now is primed for the big act of the most sensational comeback drama the boxing game has ever known.
 Tunney's supporters insist that the fighting machine that all but crushed the slugging Dempsey year ago, in the rain, is equipped to repeat, in probably more decisive fashion.
 Dempsey packers see the old man assa mauler" as the once more aggres- sive, battering plunger, and as the battler that knocked out Willard, Car pentier, Firpo and Sharkey. His az gressiveness, is not quite as fast as of yore, but is far from the floundering figure of 1926.

RadiO.Da Given
In French Causes
Much Work Here

Radio experts of>several Govern
ment departments are wishing
that knowledge of French was a
requirement in current collegiate
courses in radio communication.
This is chiefly because most of
them are not good French students
and because the agenda of the In
ternational Radio-Telegaph Confer
ence, to be held in Washington
early in October. formidable book
of sol pages, is published by the
Bern Bureau in French.
The problem now confronting the
officials of the State and Commerce
Departments is how to get this
mass of data, including the sugges-
tons of some % nations expected
to send representatives to Wash
ington, translated into English and
reprinted in time for the sessions
this Fall. The book itself Is a fine
job of printing and binding. but is
awful hard reading for an ordinary
radio operator or fan, since it is
written in technical French.
1t is entitled Propositions for
the International photographic
Conference" and is based upon the
London convention framed in 1912,
together with amendments suggest
ed by more recent conferences in
Washington and Paris.
