Leonard Will Not Box at
Garden, Declares Gibson
viii Sign With AnyPromoter
Except Rickard.'
BY CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.


In order to remove any doubt as to his
attitude In the matter of Benny Leonard
defending his title in Madison Square
Garden. Billy Gibson. manager of the
lightweight champion and president OF
the National Sports Alliance. last night
sent q telegram to the writer, in which
he emphatically declared that Leonard
would not box for Rickard under any
conditions. THE telegram follows:
In answer to stories published in
various papers stating that Tex Rickard
has offered Benny Leonard so per cent.
OF the gross receipts to defend his cham
pionship IN Madison Square Garden
will say that Benny Leonard will defend
his title at the stipulated lightweight
limit, 1876 pounds at p. NJ. for any
promoter or organization In the United
states, but not for Tex Rickard. Benny
Leonard's name seems to be used extern
sively; every time Mr.. Rickard has a
lightweight contest in the Garden the
winner is always to be matched with
Leonard for tho title. To make myself
clearly understood, Mr.. Rickard cannot
sign Benny Leonard to box any one,
even IL he were willing TO give the cham
pion all the receipts"
Rickard returned to the charge yester-
day with this proposition
FRIEDMAN or Tender can give Leon
ard plenty of trouble, and the fans are
entitled TO see the champion defend his
title to decision. The so per cent. OF
the receipts, Friedman and Tender
ogreeing not TO accept a. penny. should
make Leonard see the light"

the Dayton Triangles, one of the
greatest forward passing teams in
the country, 10 to Z, but last Sun
day bowed to the powerful Akron
Indians, 20 to 0. If the Independ-
ents succeed in coming out of the
fracas with a victory it will be only
after the hardest kind of a struggle,
for Detroit undoubtedly ranks with
the best in the country despite the
three touchdowns scored against
them by Akron.

doubt are the class of the country
on the wings and If the Islander
team succeeds in keeping them out
of the majority of plays it stands
the best chance to win.
An added touch OF interest for trf-
city fans is the fact that Waddy

ed on the squad of the Tigers. Wad-
dy applied for and got a job with
the Detroiters when they played
in Rock Island, and went east with

MENTORS Way
OF NUMBERING
CROWNED UPON
Minnesota Authorities Apologize
fer Williams Evasion of
the Rule.

Chicago, Oct 21-United Press. }
-Profuse apologies have been
made to all western conference
universities by the committee on
interco legiate sports of the Uni
versity of Minnesota for Coach Will
liams' trick numbering of players
in the game with Northwestern.
The conference rules this year
require that all players be num-
'bered. In the Northwestern game.
Williams men carried four curly
numbers such as 1888, $685., and SO
on, so that it was impossible for
spectators to pick out players by
their numbers.
In the Ohio game, however, the
players were numbered, starting
with No. 1, and no player carried
more than two numbers.
James Paige, chairman of the
committee on intercollegiate sports.
apologized for the coach's action in
4 letter to each of the conference
schools and said that the univer-
sity had been much embarrassed
by Williams action
Williams claims the numbering
rule is designed especially to hurt
his style of coaching. Reports here
were that he has been absent from
his team for a week, following the
squabble over the numbering rule

Another Big Treat
For Football Fans
Of Tr1-C1ties sS

Every detail IN connection with reproducing
on The Argus Grid Board, the football game to
be played Sunday at Detroit between the INDIE
pendents and Tigers, has been completed. All
that remains is for the fans of the tri-cites and
surrounding territory to park themselves in front
of The Argus building Sunday afternoon and
watch the progress of the contest clearly
though they were sitting in at Navin field in the
automobile city, $50 miles away.
A special Western union WIRE direct from the
press box of the big league park, to The Argus
office has bene contracted for James L. Hughes
sporting editor of The Argus, will call the plays
exactly as they occur on the field to expert
sender, and skillful operators of the grid board
will in turn reproduce them here.
The board indicates the advances of the ball
with each play, shows losses. penalties, kckoffs,
punts, forward passes, dropkicks, and in fact,
practically everything that can happen in game
with the exception of the tackle. Even so, very
few persons are expert enough at the game to
actually watching a contest. An elaborate system
has been worked out by which spectators know
instantly who is carrying the ball and who is par
ticipating in forward pass.
Sundays game will be the fourth within
three weeks shown The Argus board. The
first the game between the Independents
and Staleys at Decatur. Next the Iowa Illinois
game at Iowa City was reproduced and then
came the Observation-Disclosures battle at Chi
Cago.
If you have never a football game in
your life, you cannot help but understand the
fundamentals of play they appear on the
board
