Receipts: Now Total $2,225,- 000 Chicago, Sept. 20.—(AP)—Odds and ends of court preliminaries of the battle of Soldiers’ Field today occupied the legal staffs of the lead- ing characters in this forthcoming drama, while their boxing impre- sarios discussed with the state ath- letic commission the vital questions is referee, judges and rules of the ing. Shadows of injunction suits in both state and federal courts were not taken seriously. One of these, B. E. Clements’ action to hold Jack Dempsey to the letter of an aHeged contract to meet Harry Wills was al- ready turned down once, in one state court. The other, a federal court injunction plea by the Rev. Elmer L. Williams, well known reformer, was even more lightly regarded by Tex Rickard and his associates. Five Names Suggested Manager Billy Gibson, piloting Champion Gene Tunney, and Man- ec, Leo. P. Flynn, directing Jack empsey’s comeback campaign, were to meet with the three members of the boxing commission in their regu- lar weekly get-together today, with five names, possibly more, up for discussion as candidates for the third man in the ring. The names of the referee and the two judges will be kept secret until the moment when Chicago’s first heavyweight erence actually begins Thursday night. Rickard said he would take no part in the debate upon the referee. George Lytton, wealthy Chicago business man, Walter Eckersall, football star of 20 years ago and now a sports writer, and three or four of the leading referees of Chi- cago bouts in the past 16 months of the sport in this state were the principal candidates mentioned. Tunney and Dempsey did no train- ing other than light bag thwack- ing and a bit of road work today while their managers were in the city conferring with the boxing solons. Dempsey Now Favorite Coincident with the arrival today of the vanguard of the ringsiders, came an influx of “New York wise money,” and other offers of not so wise but equally negotiable money from the south, west and north, which put the odds of the battle in favor of Dempsey. The champion had been a 7 to 5 favorite up to last night, when the supporters of the challenger “began to unstrap their bank rolls. A record in gate receipts, even though the $3,000,000 goal is not achieved, was the solace today of the promoters, Rickard and George F. Getz, his Chicago sponsor. They sent telegrams far and wide today to their friends with the admission that a previous announcement of a sell-out of ringside seats had been too optimistic. Large blocks of the “ringside” seats, once ordered and then turned back by Getz, the rail- roads, and the “six hundred mil- lionaires” of the Madison Square Garden corporation, were back in the box office racks today. Getz turned back 3,000 tickets and the railroads and others nearly as many more, so that the actual sale (Continued on Pzge 3) RUTH ELDER IS. GIVEN LICENSE 0)Passes Tests. With Perfect Rating—Ocean Flight May Start Wednesday New_York, Sept. 20.—(AP)— Ruth Elder, Dixie’s girl entry for transatlantic flight honors, held an air pilot's lice: today after prov- ing “to the doubtit jomases that she really could fly.’ With a department of contmerce inspector, Miss Elder made three flights at Roosevelt field and passed tests with a rating of 100 per cent. Then, to convince observers, the win- some southern aviatrix climbed 6,000 feet and performed a few Hate acrobatics as proof of her ability. : After instrument tests have been ce -pleted Miss Elder said, “all we will ask for is favorable weather, and we'll be on our way.” Ins<alla- tion and adjustment of additional navigating equipment will detain the start of American Girl’s pro- jected flight to Paris until tomor- row, it was estimated.

Scott came into court for a new hearing on his sanity and the case was set for hearirg October 24. William Scott Stewart, his attorney, who c .ce saved Scot: from the gal- lows at the last minute by a petition for a sanity hezriny, asked for a lengthy continuance, expla‘ning that the defense is handicapped by lack of funds.

Then came the first of the dram- atic incidents thal have kept at a high ‘pitch interest in his effort to evade the g-Ilows.

Mm. _After him came Leslie Miller, piloting the Spirit of St. Paul, plane No, 41, landing at 3:32:20. Meyers took off at 3:36:40 He said he had to buck a stiff headwind all the way from Fargo to Bismarck which de- layed him. Miller left at 3:37:20.

He banked his plane ell were cap-| the cit sharply, to zoom above the wires, as the crowd on the field applauded hig daring, Possibility that a number of planes entered in the derby would have to stay at Bismarck over night loomed this after- noon as the result of delay in arrival.

With the exception of two heavy rains, encountered about 150 miles east of Fargo, flying conditions were good between St. Paul and Fargo, according to Meyers. _ Meyers was-.off again at 1:17, just one minute after Miller landed. Miller Forced Down Miller, who led the field out of St. Paul, was forced down 175 miles e4st of Fargo, he said, by trouble with his platinum points. Miller re-fueled and was off again at 1:24. In the race from St. Paul to Far- go, Meyers gained 17 minutes, 47 seconds on Miller, and Miller stopped one minute longer in Fargo than did Meyers. As a result, Meyers went out of Fargo seven minutes, 47 sec- onds ahead of Miller, who had held an 11-minute advantage out of St. Paul. Meyers told Fargo aviation offi- cials that he passed Miller near Alexandria, Minn., when Miller was forced down, ‘Meyers plane passing directly over Miller’s machine.
