I don't think he will iust swing wildly hoping that his (iovs win find an opening that isn't there. He is going to watch his chances, but he will never hesitate to take the chance when it Is there.

Rules governing the disposition of tickets were a.nnounced yesterday by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, commissioner of baseball- who has charge of the world's series arrangements. The commissioners regulations follow. "All applications must be made In writing, and the applicant must, if called upon to do so, be prepared to furnish the names of the persons toy whom the tickets will be used. "A certified check or money order, payable to the American League Baseball Club, of New York, must accompany each application.

"When tickets are ordered by a firm or corporation the name of the individual to whom they are to be sent should be specifically stated. "All tickets will be delivered by registered mail, therefore it is important that the applicant's name be plainly signed and the address fully and carefully given.

Capablanca, Alekhine Thousands, watching failed to see Dempsey back away with an open target to hit.

There are times also In the excitement of the moment, when the eye may register more than the brain can carry and only a blurred effect results. It Is much easier to carry away surer visions or deductions when you are not personally Interested In the career of either fighter. A fight is one of the most Interesting and exciting of all the competitions when It is a fight and not a dance or a clinching match. For those reasons Impressions are often badly churned up by the terrific excitement of some big moment when one's concentration Is scattered and broken. On such occasions it fs often hard to tell where the knockout was landed by th left or right, even though one Is looking from a distance of lees than 20 feet Ready for the Argument There Is almost sure to be a whirl of arguments after this fight, no matter who wins.

And every one close enough to see will want to be ready for his share of the argument had no follow-up against Tunney In Philadelphia. He had a pretty good follow-up against Sharkey In New York. It -will be Interesting to see exactly what the first round brings out Dempsey will go straight to Tunney, and Tunney will again try to drive him back and jolt him badly. This first round may tell a big part of the story. It ought to show whether Tunney Is still able to keep Dempsey away, as he did at Philadelphia, or whether he lacks the punching power to prevent Dempsey closing In and hammering the body.

If Tunney still finds Dempsey an open target in that first round and Dempsey can't reach the champion's body, it ought to be the same old Philadelphia story again. But It Is no part of a certainty this will happen. Dempsey will make that first round a busy one, and the best hunch Is that, while he will take his share, on this occasion he will also give something In return, no longer content to be a human punching bag, dangling in the September night air.
