Even with such an impressive

upon the outstanding value
of the Chevrolet Six, many
people still do not appreciate
what "aSix In the price range

Here, at prices so low as to be
within easy reach of anyone
who can afford any automo-
bile, are afforded all the
smoothness, reserve power
and quietness of a great six
cylinder valve-in-head motor.
In it's speed, its acceleration,
its absence of vibration and
drumming and, above all,
in its economy of better than
20 miles to the gallon it
completely revo1utionizes

And in beauty and comfort,
as well as in performance, the
new Chevrolet Six ranks as an
outstanding achievement.
It's new Fisher bodies are
beautifully finished and lux
uriously appointed. Steering
is delightfully."- easy, due to a
full ball bearing steering
mechanism. And the newly
designed 4-wheel brakes are

40 Changes Made in Grid Code,

rewritten to conform to the tumble rule,
while the same rule covers the return Of

punts are not considered fumbles, -.
May Crash Extra Point.
One change the general public may
note when play begins is the substitu-
ton of running or line-plunging plays
for goal kicking to add the point after
touchdown. Under the 1929 rules the
ball is placed on the 2-yard line instead
of the 8, this change being made to
encourage the number of attempts to
gain the point by rushing.
The change also will aid the kickerS,
as the defense will not be able to con.
centrate all It's efforts on breaking
through to block The change will not
affect passing, the extra yard making
little difference on such plays.
This years rules also specify the ball
shall be Of leather natural tanned
color" shall be inflated with pressure
between IS and is pounds and shall
urements also are specified.
A new section which takes cognizance
Of the vast growth of foot ball in the
high and preparatory schools has been
added, stating that such schools by mu-
tual agreement may adopt more liberal
regulations regarding substitutes, except
that no disqualified or suspended player
may return to the game. The section
was proposed to aid the smaller Sec
ondary schools.

A mn ARBoR, Mich, September
n l8.-Forty changes occur in 9
n section-by-section comparison
4 4 of the 1928 and 1929 foot bal
rules, but the spectators will
see little change in the games this Fall
Most of the alterations are in phras-
ing, since the rules committee has at
tempted to clarity disputed points.
Great emphasis has been placed upon
the changes In the game made by the
new rule covering the tumble. It Is a
simple paragraph, section IA, added to
rule IL, and reads:
"If the side in possession of the ball
fumbles 1t, and the ball, after striking
the ground, is then recovered by an op-
ponent. 1t Is dead at the point Of re-
covery and cannot be advanced"
Possession Of the ball, striking the
ground and prohibition against the
balls advance to the defense only are
the cardinal points of the new rule
Few of the opponents Of the rule have
realized that this simple addition to rule
Is is not q special ruling for close
scrimmage plays; that tt applies to re-
turning punts. to intercepted forward
passes and, what is more to the point
to fumbles of lateral passes. Under the
IGtlSlUIk L41C O11C11SC HOO ACC11 bA1A W VI
lateral passes; If 1t fumbleS, 1t may pick
up the ball and continue headWay, but
If the play ends in error the penalty Is
loss Of the ball only, not touchdown.
AIertness stil Counts.
This rule has been severely attacked
as one liable to eliminate thrills from
foot ball, as furnishing reward for lack
OF alertness, as q step to eliminats
penaliEatien for errors.
I can't see that the change in the
rule will eliminate afertness. Possession
OF the ball means az much now as IL
ever did.
Possibly possession means more IL the
rule has the effect its friends hope and
Its application results In more lateral
passing, more double passing and open
play. It's only effect. as see 1t. In play
of the game will be to eliminate the
long run after tumble, o spectacle In
itself, but one rarely seen In later years
Loss of the ball on o tumble Is q se.
we're penalty for Q mechanical err0r by
q player, and Ia possibly q larger loss
under the new rules than in the past
except In those rare instances when q
run and touchdown resulted.
One Of the objections stated is that
the side in possession of the ball may
purposely tumble on the fourth down in
the hope OF regaining the ball for a
first down IL up the field, for touch
down II on the goal line.
One OF my coaching friends has called
this the "nigger In the woodpile." As
far back as can remember foot ball
team has always had the same right to
tumble on fourth down. Purposeful
fumbling has never been done, and the
new tumble rule has not changed con-
ditions for such q play.

~ HICAGO, September 18.-The
business of electing q president

~ 1880 meeting today remained
before the National Boxing AS
ISOLATION convention.
Paul Prehn, president of the associa-
date for reelection, leaving Stanley
Isaacs of Cincinnati. vice president, as
his probable successor. Detroit was the
leading city bidding for the 1880 con-
vention.
The question of Mickey Walker and
the world middleweight title was set
tied Yesterday as far as the N. B. A. is
concerned. when the delegates approved
a recommendation by the championship
committee that the Rumson, N. j., bull
dog be uncrowned for inactivity in his
class. although he has engaged IN sew
eral battles with light heavyweights.
However, the question Of q $4,000
forfeit posted by Jack Kearns for Walk
err, when the latter met Tommy Lough-
ran here early this year. still was in the
air. The money Iwas posted with the
Illinois State Athletic Commission as q
guarantee that Walker would defend his
middleweight title within six months
after the Loughran engagement. which
he failed to do.
Kearns arranged with the Illinois
body to place the forfeit in the hands Of
the California commission for title
fight with Ace Hudkins, which failed to
materialize The Illinois commission
is seeking return of the money for dis
tribution to charity.
In declaring the middleweight throne
vacant, the association named Hudkins,
Rene Devos and Harry Ebbets as the
leading contenders for the title.
Lightweight Champion Sammy Man
dell and Andre Routis, featherWeight
title holder, were placed on the ap-
proved list by the delegates. The Can
zoneri- Mandell bout here August 2 was
recognized as q championship affatr
after Eddie Kane, Mandeli'S manager,
convinced the association that there was
no other outstanding challenger In the
division.
Approval Of q meeting between Routis
and Bat Battalino at Hartford, Conn,
on September % as title bout cleared
the Frenchman.
Member States were instructed to bar
from promotional or other activity in
connection with boxing any individual
with q serious police record. The action
was urged by z, c. Foster OF Rhode Is
land, chairman of the championship
committee, who declared racketeers and
bootleggers were cloaking other actiVi-
ties by their connections with boxing.

negotiating for a battle between the

Tut, who sidetracked Billy Petrolle,

the Rockford fighter both ends of the

Loughran and Jack Sharkey
Tommy has watched Sharkey IN many
of his bouts and not only has no high
regard for his ability, but has not hesi-
tated TO say so.
Jack has heard these comments and
they have annoyed him considerably.
When Sharkey is annoyed he says
plenty. The Bostonian made no secret
of the fact that he has no affection for
Loughran and that he intends to reply
to Tommy's criticisms by knocking him

didn't even have time to 60 to the races,
and any one who knows Jack viii real

The chances that Dempsey will fight
again are so remote as to be almost In
visible. He told me In Florida last
Spring that he never would fight again,
and think that he means 1t. Jack
frequently changes his mind, but on
this point he Is firm.
Dempsey has become q full-hedged
promoter. His first show In Chicago
comes on October 2, and he apparently
is thinking of little else. He says that
he has a good card and that he expects
to satisfy the customers and build up q
steady clientele. He speaks highly Of
Chicago, thinks 1t is great city, and
believes 1t can be made boxing center

TW|RL|NG SLIPPER
FOUND EFFECTIVE
Kirchner Is Only Open Iron
Tosser in Grand Finale
Next Saturday.

THE two most important horseshoe
pitching battles ever fought in
this part of the world will bring
to a close The Washington
Stars great metropolitan. tour
nament Saturday at the Plaza.
Willard E. Peake of Southern Mary
land, Alexander A. Kirchner. of North
ern Virginia and Charles A. Fort of
Washington, each champion Of his ter
ritory, will vie for the distinction OF
being the first to wear the metropolitan
crown.
They are all who remain of field Of
more than 5000, the largest number
ever to engage in any sport event with
in the metropolitan area.
The three flnalists have upset the as
sumption that the best horseshoe pitch
ers are to be found in the sticks"
There Is touch of the rural about
Peake, but the two others are quite
urban. Fort Is chemist and Kirchner,
though residing at Bancroft, in Airing
ton County, is in the electrical business
here. Peake Is former sheriff.
Kirchner Is Exception.
In the cases of Peake and Fort an
other belief quite prevalent early in the
tournament has been proved erroneous,
to wit, that pitchers who gripped the
shoe with the foref1nger crooked over
the heel and twirled the slipper couldn't
be consistent ringer throwerS. Peake
and Fort toss this way, and 1t is quite
evident that they get numerous three
pointers. Kirchner uses different hold
and losses one and three-quarter turn.
Each of the three will have lots of
support Saturday The loyalty to ma
tive sons has been marked throughout
the tournament. A number Of Arling-
ton County fans travelled 20 miles to
Culpeper to root for Kirchner and his
county champion, Glenn Talbot. at the
Virginia finals. In Maryland, Virginia
and Washington home rivalrieS have
been dropped as the fans and eliminat-
ed pitchers get together in the common
cause of the State representative.
Stamina May Count.
Endurance may be an important fac
tor in the grand finale. One of the
three will draw bye, and it may be a
deciding break. If both matches GO
the limit of three games stamina will
be almost a vital asset.
It is interesting to note that each OF
the final contests in the State play-offs
went the odd game. incidentally, when
Fort dropped the second skirmish to
Andrew Tallmadge in the final here II
was his first loss of the entire tourna-
aent. He alone of the three hasn't lost
match. Peake was beaten in the
Montgomery County final by Earle
Crane Of Washington, but retained the
title of resident champion, and Kirchner
lost to Talbot in the Arlington County
Anal. Runners-up qualified for higher
competition In all of the events leading
up to the grand finale.
Play Saturday will start at 8 o'clock
Arrangements are being made by the
playground department to seat large
gallery. The court will be blocked In by
bleachers.
