Ideal Weather Is Forecast for the Big Fight Tonight
Fight Fans Are Swarmin Into Chicago From All Parts of the
Country
(United Press)
Chicago, Sept. 22. — A warm sun showed its smiling face over Soldier's beard before most today and gave me the chuckle that he would when 140,000 people will fight their way into the huge amphetometer to the Dempsey-Tunney fast clutch.
Although the weather forecast predicted a cloudy sky and cool temperature for this evening, the fan were cheered by the appearance of the sun and there was an unexpected at the ticket office this morning.
The Loop, as the Chicago downtown district is known, is swarming with fists. Packed trains from the subway are making their way to morning and unloaded hundreds of distinguished citizens. Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey were hidden away near a train station, where they and his retinue spent the night in private at another place. Both fighters made it known this morning that they are in perfect condition.
Betting odds shifted quickly over night and this morning. For about an hour the word was passed along that money on Turney was coming to him. He ran onto the champion. But they took tumble and at 7 a.m., the writer was informed that bets were being placed at even money at New York. A flood of hot street tickets and $250,000 was placed in a spurt of gambling. Odds on the champ have entirely disappeared. One commission house, Kemp and Company, reorganized their candy was ceded on hand for Dampsey.
The eve of the heavyweight championship fight found both contestants confident of victory. Gene Tunney is sure he will win, but he did not say when or how. Dempsey said he woke "finish Tunney" within seven rounds
"My first defense of the title find me quite confident that I will be the victor in tonight's contest with Dempsey," stated Tannen. "I have given you the chance to compete without brasses or injuries of any kind at the hour of battle, I am ever more certain that I will win than I was when I first met Dempsey at Philadelphia last year. I feel that after receiving an improved considerably and will win without difficulty in the Soldier's Field ring. I expect and hope that our content will be a fun and clean battle which will merit the attendance given it by as great a team as we gather to see on an event."
Dempsey, who was to return to his hotel today from the Lincoln field race track stand, today issued the following instruction for Gene Tunney this time and will win in spite of him. I believe that the fight is to be decided or absolute merit. I think that I am good enough, but if he happens to last the limit, I am sure I will be far out in front and earn the decision. Last year I was not myself, so I should not get in good trim. My aim was horrible and I get a good licking Tunney will find competition now. I am boxing in good form. My winnery system is physical training is all that I can ask.
"I want the referee, whoever he is,
to make us fight, and to give me all that
is coming to me, nothing more."
Sport Notes
"Gee, look at those guys hit," the remark heard a number of times last night but the varus crew, that is, the Blue Bots, blue both on offense and defense.
Nevertheless both lines charged well last night and not often did the backfield men of either team gain many yards through the center.
Art Lawrence, that flashy halfback, showed better form than ever, and 's expected to do some great things this year. On the first play last night he got away on right end for 30 yards.
Not only these two teams got a chance for action last night but two more teams, made up of varsity men weld a short scrimmage. On line in this game the backs were called "game" too, but the backs wereipping off good yardage at times. Pruly after lots of hard work on the art of the men and "Caps" Capo, Cappo, and others, it was no doubt a number of hard hitting, tackling and running stars from this group.
