CHAMPS HACKERS
VERY OPTIMISTIC
See Absolutely Nothing But
Easy Victory

Chicago, Sept. ~ UP)-Gone
THnnoy to hear the talk around his
training camp: is a dead cinch to
win from Jack Dempsey when they
meet for the second time here
Thursday night for the worlds
heavyweight title. He is a dead
cinch to win. lie can't miss" Bill
Gibson, one of his board of direc-
tors says-"And he'll knock Demp-
sey out in five rounds"
That, Of course, is optimistic chat
Ter, It hardly could he expected
that the boys around Tunney would
even whisper that his chances were
doubtful and their confidence no
doubt is regulated by the supreme
confidence OF the champion. He
surely has that if he has nothing
c,so.
Giving ear to the conversation on
The street it can be learned that Tun-
n"y has many supporters although
Chicago is a rcd hot Dempsey town
but there are very few who have
enough faith in the champion to
figure that he has any kind of a
cinch ahead Of him. There is plenty
of respect for danger OF the Demp-
sey punch.
Comparing the two fighters as they
approach the return match and as
they were last year at this time,

most four notchcs above his best
fighting weight.
Tunneys victory over Dempsey
last fall was not considered a fair
test Of ability under strenuous fire,
inasmuch as "Manassa Jack" admit
ted he was dusty, after three years
of ring idleness, hampered mentally
by legal difficulties and in rather or
binary physical condition. They point
out that Dempsey, in that battle, was
too bad to be true
But despite the improvement
Dempsey showed in his knocnotU
victory over Sharkey. Tunney at
least is certain of two tlings-firSt,
that his own Improvement in year
of almost constant training, has
overshadowed any gain made by
Dempsey, second, that the truest Of
boxing lore is they never come

WALLACE berry IS
SUED FOR MILLION
Spanish Dancer Says He's Father
Of Expected Child

Los Angeles, Sept. 19 P-The
Examiner yesterday said that Juan
tia Monanya, 19-year-old Spanish
dancer and film actress, has filed suit
for 100000 damages against Wal
lace Berry, film comedian, charging
that he attacked her while she was
a guest at his home and is the father
of her expected child.
Boery, according to the dancers
complaint, attacked her while she
was spending several weeks as the
guest Of Mrs. Rita Beery the actors
wife, in their Hollywood home last
December The second attack, she
charges, was when the actor drove
her to her home in his automobile at
the conclusion of her visit.
The complaint asks 100000 ac-
-ual and $4,000 exemplary dam
ages.
Beery, who completed his latest
picture five days ago, is at camp
in the high Sierras on a fishing ex-
cursion.
Miss Montanva came here from
New York two years ago to seek
work in motion pictures following a
stage career as a. dancer. She
came into the news limelight when
Hollywood police accused her of ap-
pcaring in the vicinity Of a film act
or's home with a pistol concealed
in black handkerchief. According
10 the police, she was questioned by
a Waterman and later when the po-
lice attempted to question hor at n
Hollywood hotel she barriCaded her
self in a room and was taken into
custody only after she had fired sey-
eral shots
She was sent to the Minnie Barton
Home after the dismissal Of insanity
charges that had been placed against
her.

pion.
Railroads have announced special
trains from the east, the west, the
north and the south. Hotels long
ago announced their rooms were all

up with almost record amounts of
provisions. Police have organized
special squads to handle the crowd
at the field and other squads to
handle the great traffic jams that are
expected throughout the loop" dis
trict.
Aside from the match itself which
some critics believe will be a tame
affair, this fight is going to break viz
tually every record for an event of
its kind in this or any other section
Of the land. Chicago is counting on
more out-of-toWn visitors than it
has entertained since the Eucharistic
congress of last summer.

He talked a lot OF confidence in

to take Dempsey in couple of

because he won the championship

Tunnoy may be little larger than
he was last year. He looks heavier
around the shoulders but weight is
not much of an advantage against
Dempsey as few pounds do not

The champion is in good physical

CH|CAGO'S GREAT
DAY DRAWS near
Crowds FlOcking 10 City for
Big Fight

Chicago, Sept. 10 UP) - The
ballyhoo that precedes a heavyw
championship fight reached its zen
ish in Chicago today as the day ap-
preached when Gene Tunney will en-
ter the ring to defend his world title
against Jack Dempsey.
The contenders slowed up their
training activities to prevent an
overturned condition. They an
nounced themselves to be in ideal
shape. Their respective managers
not only agreed on that point but
each predicted that his charge would
win. The management announced
all arrangements completed. The
side-shows, peanut stands, pennant
vendors. and all the great coterie
OF business people who profit on big
events of this kind were preparing
their wares for a record business.
To call a prize fight battle of a
century is now trite and meaning
less if the fight is to be held on the
eastern seaboard, but to Chicago,
which has never before been host TO
such an event, that is exactly what
it is.
Although the usual dyed-in-the-
wool fight fans from the east will be
on hand-many of them in ringside
seats,-the crowd that gathers here
Thursday evening will be composed
very largely of people who never be-

In bringing the Tunney- Dempsey
fight to Chicago. Tex Richard assur-
ed himself OF drawing on a totally
fresh crop Of customers for there
are countless thousands of fight en-
thusiasts in the Chicago metropolitan
area who never could afford the
time and money to journey all the
way to New York or Jersey City to
satisfy their desire
And so Chicago is decorating her
self and setting her house in order
for an event the like Of which she
never before has had the fortune Of
holding.
The great arena where the fight is
to be held is a huge stadium which
stands directly on the shores of Lake
Michigan. 1t is a municipal enter
prise known as Soldiers Field, so
named because it stands as a memo
rial to Chicago's war dead. Its
sweeping tiers of seats will accom-
modate 100000 spectators and 3d.
600 more viii be seated on the
ground level surrounding the ring.
Flood lights from the pillars of the
outer stadium will be played on the
ring so that it will lie visible from
any angle although some of the spec
tators will be as much as $50 yards
from the ring.
This crowd Of 10000 spectators
will be the largest that ever wit
messed a boxing match in this coun-
try. The customers will pay very
close to 100000 for tho privilege
of sitting anywhere from ringsIde to
a point SO far removed from the

TUNNEY himself
real FATALIST
Thinks Outcome Of Fight Al
ready Is Settled

Lakeyille, Ill, Sept. ~ Ps-The
calm assurance Of fatalist who be
lieves the outcome OF all fights was
matter OF record before life itself
was created, will steel Gene Tunney
against the failing fists of Jack
Dempsey on Soldier field Thursday
night.
Thoughtfully the big marine who
stripped Dempsey of the heavyweight
championship in the pelting rain at
| Philadelphia, told today of his con-
Niction, that the rcjUvenated Man
ASA Mauler' must again face defeat
and with it oblivion-when the
opening gong summons the two
giants of the ring TO the center of
the cleaning battle ground while
10000 persons cheer from the sur
rounding bowl Of darkness.
Lolling on the lawn that rolls from
his country club training quarters, in
soft stretches to the shore of Lake

Greenwich Village outlined his phil

'Fatc,' he said. his hands rum

shore, directs the paths of men

disaster and triumph to a goal, an
ending, that was pre- ordained before

/ tiny. His best efforts only can help
bring about the end conceived at
the beginning of time
Building upon this philosophy and
drawing from the history of his
career that has had its sole aim in
winning and retaining the heavy
weight title, Tunney pointed out that
the fate that made him boxer al
most against his will, also had pro-
vided the driving force that had
built his body from that Of a middle

pinnacle of pugilism. despite many

Although Tunney never expects to

time bring across his path the wo-
