Harmon went fire fighting on the
roof OF his multi-million dollar Chi
ago stadium last night just as a
worlds championship boxing program
vas about to start in the ring below.
There we're 10000 or more men and
women seated in the great auditor

from the northwest corner OF the roof
shortly after 10 o'clock. Occasionally
2 glowing firebrand dropped down
among the ringsidcrs. though none
struck any spectators
The odor of smoke and the sight
Of the dropping firebrands threatened
to spread panic. for the crowd had
vivid memory Of what happened al

err than last Monday. Persons in the
balconies, which were crowded, began
Clapping their hands. and their &C
ton had the effect Of calming those
below.

and which eliminated with the men
