STAGE IS SET 1 FOR BIG JULY FOURmSCRAP Light Training Work Will be Done by Principals in Last Days. (By Associated Press) TOLEDO. O., July 2. The last of the preliminary details of boxers, promoters and arena construction will be completed today and with the gathering up of the stray strands the stage will be set for the heavyweight championship bout between Jess tillard and Jack Dempsey scheduled for Friday afternoon. Tb principals will do but light training work, Willard boxinK a few rounds with his tired arid battered sparring partners while the challenger will confine his efforts to easy limbering-up exercises and some shadow boxing. At about the same hour the last nail will be driven in the arena which is to seat some 80,000 spectators, and the greatest fight stadium of ancient or modern times will be ready for its burden of humanity on the Fourth of July. In many respects it is the greatest 6port amphitheater ever erected certainly the greatest ever constructed for temporary use only. In seating capacity, ease of Ingress, and exit it compares favorably with the Roman coliseum and the Yale football bowl at New Haven. Built at the cost of $150,000, the structure includes 1,750.000 feet of lumber and hundreds of kegs of nails and bolts, the combined weight of

which suns into many hundreds of tons. In addition to the 80,000 spectators who canje seated comfortably, there is standing room for close to 20,000 more, go that the total capacity approaches the 100,000 mark. Four times the size of the Reno fight stadium, it measures a little over 600 feet across and the farthest seat is Just 290 feet from the center of the ring. There are 24 miles of seats and the grade or rise is such that the face of each spectator will appear Just above the head of the person in front giving the effect of a sea of faces when viewed from the ring. Great as the care with which the entire arena was constructed, attention has been fairly lavished upon the ring in which the heavyweight championship of the world will be contested. It will rise five feet above the floor of the stadium and will measure 24 feet square over all. Each side of the square; measured along the ropes, Is exactly 20 feet and the extension outside the ropes two feet. The flooring consists of a two-inch thick planking with a top layer of one-inch closely matched planks laid in cross sections. Braced bf Ports '" This fighting foundation is braced and supported by the heaviest kind of posts and beams until there is not a quiver when several 200 pound men plunge around upon the structure. Over the ring flooring has been spread heavy felt padding one inch thick and atop of this a canvas ring covering, which It is claimed is the heaviest

ever used for such a purpose. Over 20 feet square, it contains but two seams and will be stretched througrh espceially constructed eyelets placed 8 inches apart. It will be drfsppd with lamn black and 24 pounds of rosin, after being put into position, which will not be until an hour or so before Willard and Dempsey appear. For the preliminary . . , .MI , J A

Reproductions Of Fight Are Planned In New York NEW YORK, July 2. More than three thousand fight fans will go from New York to see the Wlllard-Dempsey bout, according to estimates compiled

from railroad ticket offices. The largest exodus for Toledo will take place Thursday when it is expected that at least two thousand New Yorkers will leave here to see the bout. Beside the number who are

traveling to the fight -via railroads, more than five hundred automobiles are estimated to have left New York and the vicinity to carry spectators to the fight.

cloth in order that no water may seep

through. The ring posts will rise on the extreme corners of the platform and will be clamped to the floor by specially constructed metal collars, in addition, to be sunk into huge blocks, two and a half beet below the arena floor proper. From the posts, turn buckles will extend to the ring ropes, eighteen inches inside the posts. The top rope will measure four and a half feet from

the floor and is one and a half inches in diameter. The lower ropes will, be one and a half feet apart and all will be wound with heavy canvas banding. It is the claim of the contractors and builders that the ring and its foundation would support an eight story building. Seats Half Sold. The sale of seats has kept pace with the speed in arena construction, and last night promotor Tom Rickard stated that close to half of the 80,000 seats had been sold, including the greater portion of the higher priced sections. While he did rot care to give the exact receipts to date he said that they were well above his estimate of the gate when he first contemplated th possibilities of the match some six months ago. The usual side lights of a heavyweight championship bout, whether in a big city or on the sands of the desert have mads their appearance and veteran fight followers admit that the last touch of atmosphere, necessary to complete the picture Is in place. Counterfeit tickets for admission to the arena have turned up in the hands of innocent purchasers who state that they bought them In other near-by cities. The tickets are but a poor copy of the real steel engraved admission cards and are not likely to cause trouble to the gate keepers on Friday. The button and picture-card vender is also present in force as well as the promoter of all kinds of games of chance in which the player takes about ninety per cent, of the chances. The police have taken cognizance of this particular angle and have issued orders that the wheel, dice and playing card bust be conspicuous by their absence henceforth.

Ft, Wayne Man Gains 30 Pounds Taking Tanlac Was Wonderfully' Built Up Three ' Years Ago Good Health Continues. "Talking about things that help people, this Tanlac is the medicine

mat strsugntened me out three years sgo and built me up so wonderfully, and I have held my Increase in weight and felt strong and well ever 6ince." The above statement was made by Fred Henry Ehrman, a well-known machinist. Hvlnjt at 629 Davln atrt Port

Wayne, Indiana, in a conversation with a Tanlac representative, recently. Mr. Ehrman was born and reared In ForJ Wayne and has bean with tha Tnriinni

Road Machinery Company for the past thirteen years. "I had been troubled with my stomach for ten years," he continued, "and often had lumbago, or rheumatism, in my back so bad I couldn't work for a week at a time. My stomach was in such a fix that many a time right after a meal I have turned so sick that I couldn't keep down anything I had eaten. I would have a heavy choking feeling, like lead, la my stomach and such a choking sensation through my chest that I would almost smother. Sometimes I would Just have to fight for breath, the gas would press against my heart so. And heartburn why, I used to go to bed with it and get up In the mornings with it, and it made me feel perfectly miserable. I was constantly belching up my food sour and undigested and would get so dizzy, especially when I stooped over, that I would turn blind as a bat. My appetite left me and I would go without food until my stomach got so empty I would finally Just have to force myself to eat a little something. "I had spent lots of money for treatment and medicines but with it all kept losing weight and getting worse. Many a morning I never felt like getting up and my work was Just a drag to me. I had read so much about Tanlac and had heard so many who had taken it praising it that I began taking it myself. Well, to say it all in a few words, the medicine soon got me out of all my troubles and put me in shape to where I picked up thirty pounds in weight. A medicine that will do what Tanlac did for me is certainly worth recommending to everybody who has any reason for taking medicine and I am glad to make this statement for what It may be worth to others who are trying to find relief."
