BERLIN DEFENDS ATTACK ON THE ORDUNA IMPERILLING THE LIVES OF 22 AMERICANS ne Shape and 501000 WILL SEE FIGHT: GATE MAY REACH $125,000: $75,000 IN ADVANCE SALE Greatest Crowd in History of Ring to Witness Battle Between McFarland and Gibbons for Record Purse. By Robert Edgren. A capacity crowd of 560,000 will probably attend tonight's big fight at| the Ocean A. C., Brighton Beach, between Packey McFarland of Chicago| and Mike Gibbons of St. Paul. All the box seats, except a few in the last Tow, have been sold. The sum taken in on these seats alone almost equals| the record purse of $32,500 that the boxers are guaranteed for their services. Twelve thousand out of 16,000 three-dollar tickets have been sold, which represents $36,000 more paid into the coffera of the club; 6,000 out of 18 90 one-dollar seats are gone and about 3,000 two-dollar tickets, In all $75,000 worth of tickets have been sold. A line two blocks long is at the club ticket office at the Brighton Beach baths, while the office in the Fitzgerald Building {s packed with fans striving to buy tickets. All the various ticket agencies throughout this oity and Brooklyn report that} their supply has been practically ex-| hausted. If the club sells entirely out there will be approximately # in the house. ‘The purse—$32,500, of which $17,500 will go to McFarland and $15,000 to Gibbons—is the biggest ever offered for a no-decision contest anywhere in the world, It is real money. As stakeholder I have every dollar of it in the bank, having received it in the form of a cer’ ded check a week ago, McFar- | land and Gibbons will be paid by check, When Promoter Marshall put up that $82,500 in cash a week in ad- vance he showed himself to be a gen- tleman with his full shace of nerve, especially when one considers the fact that the purse is not by any means the only item of expense connected with tho match. Taking in the cost of preparing the arena, advertising, providing for attendants, &c., he spent fully $50,000 before the first spectator camped outside the gate.

Mayor Mitchel Will have a rigside box, and many famous states- men, judges, lawyers, business and professional men will be grouped around him, Gov.

There will be no decision In this bout, in spite of many rumors elreu- lated a few days — so, for the Boxing Ccmissioners have failed to take any action, Billy Joh, who has ref- ereed several of McFarland's New York matcnes, will referee again, Gibbons having accepted him in spite RS.

Mrs, Philip Rhinelander was burned by the explosion of an alcohol lamp in her summer home at Tuxedo yes- terday afternoon. She died early this morning. A hairdresser had been arranging Mrs. Rhinelander’s hair and went out of the rom for a moment, leaving the lamp burning. There was the sound of an explosion and Mrs. Rhinelander screamed, The hatr- Gresser ran back to find Mrs. Rhine- lander wrapped in flames from head to foot and frantically trying to beat them out with her hands, The vant beat out the flames with tow- els but Mrs, Rhinelander was unoon- scious on the floor before the last of the fire was smothered, From tho beginning there was no hope of her recovery, #0 serious ware her burns.
