ARE SHORT OF MONEY
English Promoters Unable to Pay Benny Leonard the Rich Sums He Gets in America.

New York, Oct, 11,--English box proper desire to help enrich Benny NLeonard, the lightweight titlehoder, who recently announced that he was going abroad to reap a harvest of gold on the other side of the Atlantic In fact some of the impolite Englishmen have been unkind enough to advise Benny to stick to America and not ing the sea.
 The English point out that Europe just now is suffering from an all around trade depression and that England, while better off than the other countries is not in condition to patronize championship bouts at championship prices. They say that the foreign ringsters have cut down greatly in their purse demands and that even under those conditions the National Sporting Club was so badly hit that it closed it's doors
 It is pointed out that the class of opposition which Leonard would find abroad is poor. Ernie Rice, who was a mark for the American light weights when he visited this country, would not stand much chance with Benny and neither would Seaman Fall a boxer of a bout the same grade IS Rice.

RULES BODY CLEARS
 FOOTBALL MUDDLE
Hall Explains Two Important Changes in the Playing Code

New York. Aug, 11.--Foothall offi- cias have made such conflicting in- terprctations of two important changes in the rules that the rules committee has issued statement in an attempt to clear the situation
 Most of the trouble is over the new rule 10, which was designed to change the play after a touchdown is made from a try for goal through a place kick to a try for point" through one of three methods. Some teams. elect ing to "try for point" by kicking goal, have claimed the point when the kick failed but one of their men re- covered the ball and rushed 1t behind the opposing goal
 In some instances referees and other officials have enormously up- held the contention, E. K. Hall, chair man of the rules committee, said in issuing the statement. Hall pointed out that team having chosen to 'try for point kicking lost when the kick failed, and the instant it did fail the play automatically was ended. The new rule, he added does not per- init the conversion of a play.
 Rule l0," says the statement, "provides that q team which has made a touchdown may add one ad ditonal point to it's score by success fully executing in a single play any one of the following; By a goal from field; by completing a forward pass in the end zone, or by carrying the ball across the line.
 When Ball Is Deal
 ''The words any one are significant and should be literally construed Accordingly, should such team at be blocked by the defenders of the goal. the play ends any attempt to re- cover and rush the ball across the goal line is useless
 The remainder of the confusion is over the new rule regarding sub stitutes (rule 3, section p, which provides that "A player who has been withdrawn from the game during the first half may return at any time dur ing the second half. A player with drawn during the second half may not return to the game" Concerning IL Halls statement says:
 While this rule does not in terms refer to a player who finished the first half but was withdrawn during the intermission between tn two halves the purpose of the rule is clear and there is no reason why such a player should not be allowed to return to the game any time dur ing the second half.'
 The new try for point rule will make the spectators seats near the two goal lines very attractive, once the coaches and the public come to realize Ike significance of the idea, said Hall It enables an attacking team to use any possible trick play which it would not otherwise attempt because of the impossbility of losing the ball. In the "try for point" it has point 10 gain but nothing to lose.
