the champion, worth his salt. Name your best heavy, leaving out Demp- sey. Will he fight Fulton No. you bet he won't. They'll all fight Dempsey for the short end but get pale at the thought of meeing Fulton.
 Where are the light heaYies? Joe Walcott, a welterweight, could lick every one we have Can you pic ture any of them in the ring with the Langford of a few years ago And the heavies-can you see them fighting Sharkey, Jeffries, Johnson, Corbett, Jackson or Fitzsommons a few years ago?
 Johnny Wilson, the niddleweigh, championi That's a, laugh. Try to picture him against Tommy Ryan, Kid Mccoy, Jack Root, Hugo Kelly, Stanley Ketchel, Billy Papke, or even Sailor Burke Pipe the tough birds Leonard has 70 fight There isn't one who is a real contender. Where would that bunch be with IIavigne Erne, McFad- | den, Hawkins, Cans, Nelson or Will i lie Fitzgerald.
 Feathers? Johnny KiIbane, an old man, still. rules them There isn't a feather who stands out as real con- | tender.
 ] They'd rank high in battles with the old-timers, wouldn't they? Can you see them beating McGovern, Cor bett, Griffo. Gardner, Herrera, AtteIl
 or Yanger?
 The public doesn't seem to tire. They pay and the bruisers collect. Fighters of to-day don't need to learn how to box. Things are com- ing too easy.

 Ryan is a typical Irishnan and carries around with him in addition Q his 240 avordupois and feet 3 inches stature, an Irish brogue as broad as Long Island Sound.
 Cousin Of Jim Ra'NIey.
 Ryan is a cousin of Jim Rawley, local fight fan of enormous altitude, and Monday was the first time the big as the earth, according to his own confessions, when he was intro ducing his champion cousin about town.
 There is one Bridgeport policeman who has a wholesome respect for Ryan's hand. He is Patrolman Char ley Hinkle. After being introduced to Ryan in front of the Stratfie1d, Hink1e declared to a group of friends:
 Why, if that guy ever got into a scrap with Bridgeport cops, he could heave them into Long Island Sound. I never was pressed by such a mon ster of a fist in my life. Ole John l.. had one big saucer, but RYan's takes the prize.'
 Ryan is native of Old Pallas, County of Limerick, where Jim Raw lew first saw sunlight and where the latter has a brother, Tim. living. In relating some incidents of his sport ing career, Ryan told how the boys of the old home used to gather on the main corner nights and hurl rocks and "dOnnickS'' for a distance.
 He Bate 'eIn All.
 'I bate them all, and l came over here and bate them a1l,'' declared the giant Pat. And standing alongside of him was Matt McGrath, New York policeman, whom he detnroned five years ago. You sure did, chirped Matt.
 Ryan won the 1S-pound, hammer throwing championship of Ireland when he was 19 years old. in Dub lin Che is 34, now). He gained con siderable fame in sport circles of old Erin in tours in which he gave ex- hibjtions of his strength and proW- ess. Two years ago, Ryan returned to Ireland on visit, and again cap tured the honor.
 The champion only recently re- he figured in exhibitions in Los An geles, San F'rancisco Reno, New, and other places. Ryan not only claims the hammer throwing championship, but he also claims to have the small est feet of any athlete. while his labeled paws by his intimates Ryan wears a, 1-2 shoe.
 One of Ryan's regrets is that he did not take up boxing. With all of his strength Ryan believes he would have been able to lick any of the il- Iustrious heavies of the past in his Gav and still be a champion.
 "I have wond deqful strength, and l thank God for it, declared the mod est world champion.
 In the American Legion games at Seaside park on Labor Day Ryan hurled the 16-pound hammer a dis tance of 1S2 feet and ' inches under a. handicap of 65 feet to Marcus Lar son, winner of the event.

Only Few Minor Football On an ge s

New York York Sept 7;;-college foot, changes suggested at thd close of last season by coaches and experts will open it's 1921 season in another fortnight, Practice has been started by college squads al lover the -coun- try and the first game in which college team is involved will be played at Orono, Maine, September IT, when the University of Maine eleven meets the soldiers from Fort Mckinley.
 Only a few minor changes have g1ate rules. Suggestions were ad- vanced last spring for restrictions on the forward pass, and many other reforms which would have necessi- tated radical changes in the rules were outlined. The rules committee decided, however, that the day for rules tinkering and the changes they adopted clarify rather ah natter the various rules.
 One of the principal changes pro- vides that in the event of the SCOT ing of a safety the side which has made it shal put the ball in play by serimmage from first down at any place on it's 30 yard line. After tGuchback the ball still will be put in play on the 20-yard line.
 In rule 23 section , a subdivision has been made Division A provides that the oftenses tripfping. tackling out of bounds or throwing the player to the ground after the ball is dead, or any other unnecessary iroughless shall be penalized , yards from the spot of the foul. Division provides that unnecessary running into or div ing into CT throwing oneself against q player obviously out of play either before or after the ball has been de clared dead, or unnece sSarily rough ing a man who has made a forward pass may be deemed S unnecessary rcuShness for which the penalty is lDE.S- faf 1 r-f1c fr-,,@ put in play.
 In rule 4, section four, it is made clear that in the event of a fair catch being made after the expiration of time only the kick shall be allowed and that the period shall end as soon as the ball is dead after the kick has been made.
 Rule 6, section 1s, has been dead when forward pass becomes an illegal pass, so that the rule GOV
 CTS both inccmpleted and illegal

 referee shall toss coin and desig- call, and that once the choice has i been made it is irrevocable. | In rule 9, section 5, an addition has been made providing for a penalty of | , SS1i No II 1IlOi IlltIl cIfG IiSt1 or lIlG | attacking side is in motion at the
 moment the ball is put into play, the penalty to be measured from the spot | where the ball was put into play Rule fl. section T. now reads that | if at the kick off, the ball goes out l of bounds before it crosses the goal l line it shall be brought back i In rule IT. section. 3. having to do

 Manager George Rowe of the North Ends is a sport from his toes to his dome After much effort Rowe induced the Crasho A. c. to meet his speedy nine for the purpose of paw ing the way for a real city cham ptonship series. The North En::s emerged victorious in the two games and Rowe followed up his triumph by issuing a challenge to the White Eagles, now regarded as sure win ners in the City League. According to Rowe efforts are being put forth by a certain clique to prevent a, North Ends-White Eagles series, but it is hardly likely they will succeed. The of Bridgeport'S are good sports and are not likely to be in ?fIuenced by selfish interests. The of fans who have attended Seaside Park games this season are to see setto between the North Ends White Eagles or any other team entertaining champion ship aspirations.
