best niddleweight in the world and
the foremost light heavyweight on the

Gibbons's purpose in tackling such q
formidable customer as Dillon is two
fold. Mike has long been accused of
picking his opponents. and has often
been charged as lacking fighting in

showed a tinge of saffron wherever the
going got too heavy It is TO disprove
both OF these statements that GIBBONS
is jeopardizing his pugilistic future.
ANY man who faces Dillon in the
hempen square jeopardizes his pugil-

FOOTBALL RULES
LITTLE ALTERED
Change in Safety, Favoring

The alterations in the football rules
which go into effect this season are
few and not of great Importance from
the point of view of the onlooker. The
changes were made TO clear up doubt
full points rather than TO affect the
style of play
The most important of the amend
ments concerns the safety. Under the
definitions of that play. the man carry
ing the ball. if forced back across his
own goal line, was guilty Of making
safety. However. another rule makes
it incumbent upon the referee 10 blow

reached by the player; that is. when
the player has ceased to advance, the
play is stopped

he cannot be pushed back Surprising

DETR0IT and Chicago both won in
- the American league, Friday,
while the Red Sox retained their old
standing, the game at Washington
being called in the sixth for rain
without either team scoring. As a
result, the Tigers are now only IS
points behind the Red Sox while the
White Sox are 10 points behind the
leaders. st. Louis and New York
both lost and are dropping back
DHILLIES remain on top in the

back a bit on Friday, to 2, in the
first game, and to in the second.
