CHICAGO CROWDED WITH
 THOUSANDS FIGHT FANS

Chicago. Sept. 22. P)-With it's last legal barriers cleared, the city swarming with the greatest fight crowd of all time. the Dempsey Tunney battle of dollars, open let ters and mixed opinions moved to- ward a climax of actual fistic com bat tonight, which will begin at approximately six-forty-five Pacific Coast time.
 In its attraction of world wide interest in the fierce battle char acters. the preliminary debates of the size of the stakes involved which is a million four hundred thousand dollars for the two fight ers-as we'll as the magnitude of the promotion enterprise as the second chapter, the Dempsey Tun- ney fight far outstrips any sports event in history.
 The "battlea of the century, within the past few years are pale by comparison in every way The crowd is expected to shatter all records by numbering close to one hundred fifty thousand people.
 This will pit Tunney. the soldier, masterful boxer and world cham pion. against Dempsey. plunging. personally magnetic slugger. who was badly beaten a year ago by his handsome foe, but now primed for the big act of the most sensa- tional comeback drama tile box ing game has ever known.
 Tunney's supporters insist that the fighting machine which all but crushed the slugging Dempsey to repeat it in probably more de. cisive fashion.
 Dempsey packers see the old Manassa mauier as once more the aggressive battering plunger. and as the battle- that knocked out Jess Willard. Carpentier. Firpo and Sharkey. He is as aggressive. if not quite % fast as of yore but far from the houndering figure of ls3s.

INDIAN HOSPITAL PATIENT
 INSISTS ON GOING TO
 BED WITH HIS DONKEY

London, R-When it's bed time at Peshawar, on the north west frontier of India, there's a na- tive who goes to sleep with his donkey. Yes. every night. not just on the D. T. nights.
 At least. so says Miss NJ. Clarke, medical missionary at Peshawar. who has arrived in London to tell her experiences among the natives. The native in question recently went 10 hospital.
 "I know I'm very i'll. and know I've got to come into the hospital" the native said to Miss Clarke. Out I'm not coming in unless my don key can come, too. My donkey has slept with me for IS years, and Pm not going to be separated from him now"
 Miss Clarke relates that the don key did go to the hospital with his master.
 When a native comes to be treated at the hospital" she re- lated further, "all the family insist on coming, too. A doctor not only finds the patient in bed. but five or six of his family and friends in the bed with him. Often the nurs- es cannot make out who the pa tients are. and who are the friends.
 Frequently the natives insist on their livestock coming in with them. The hospital at Peshawar was once asked to take in camel, and 1t is common for roOsters and hens to be put under the patients bed. tied to the bedposts."

Dempsey said T am ready for Tunney this time and will win decisive victory. l think am good enough to finish Tunney in side of : rounds. If he happens ta pass that limit I'll sure be out in front to win the decision. If Tunney stands up and fights it will not take long I will catch him if have to chase him around the ring.
