New York -UP)- More than 100
hardy fight fans, several of them on
the scene at dawn, were in line out-
side the Yankee Stadium Thursday
morning, waiting for the opening of
the sale of bleacher seats at 3:30 p.
m. for the Dempsey-Sharkey fight
Thursday night.
 All box office operations were
transferred from Madison Square
Garden to the stadium, where Joy
Boynton, in charge of sales, predict-
ed a "gate" of not much more than
a million. He estimated $1,050,000,
which would be $200,000 short of a
sellout. There were plenty of seats
at ringside prices available.
 All preparations for handling a
crowd of probably 80,000 spectators
was completed well before noon at
the stadium. The ring, the same one
in which Sharkey scored a tech-
nical knockout over Mike McTigue
in the garden, which pitched at sec-
ond base.

from Chicago, Boston - Sharkey's
home town - Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington and Pittsburgh

augment the Metropolitan crowd.
