 Play in the women's division will decide the two players who meet for the title.

O'MAHONY MEETS GEORGE TONIGHT
 FOR SECOND TIME
BOwser to Give Belt to the Winner of Boston
 Wrestling Match

Boston, Sept. 9-(UP)-Heavy- weight wrestling champion Danno O'Mahoney of Ireland will seek to remove the stigma attached to his title by Ed Don, George of North Java, N. Y., when the tfo meet in return bout for the championship at Fenway park tonight. The win ner will be decided on a two falls out of three basis.
 When O'Mahoney took the title from George in recent bout the latter claimed that he was robbed of victory by inefficient officiating and refused to turn over the cham pionshiup belt. In that bout both principals were tossed out of the ring, George charging that Referee m my Braddock, heavyweight boxing champion, gave him short the mat after O,Mahoney had been given a long one.
 For tonight's melee George has insisted on an experienced referee and Sam Smith, a veteran arbiter, has been named to handle the grappling. The belt has been placed in the hands of Paul Bowser, pro- moter of the contest, who will give it to the winner.
 Both O'Mahoney and George have expressed themselves as being in excellent shape.
 O'Mahoney. who is but 22 years old, has never been, defeated since taking up wrestling 8 year ago. He has trained for the bout in seclu- sion in the woods near Worcester for the past two weeks, probably perfecting the Irish whip" hold he introduced to the wrestling game.
 Geormge has trained publicly at the Waltham Country club, stress ing the flying tackle, a weapon he has used with consistent success during his recent reign as title holder. He has beenassisted by several veteran grapplers, includ- ing former Champion Ed (Strang- ler) Lewis.
 It will mark the third time George will be seeling the title. He first won it from Gus Sonnenberg only to lose it to Strangler Lewis. He regained 1t when he threw Henri Deglane of France.
 The O'Mahoney-George clash gave the wrestling world it's first undisputed champion. Previously two wrestlers had been recognized in various sections as titleholder, but when O'Mahoney tossed Jom- my Londos of St. Louis, one of the claimants, and then risked his laurels against those of Georges, the field was reduced to one claim ant for the first time in years.
 The bout was expected to draw at least 285,0O0.

 FIRST OPPONENT
 OF BIG CHAMPION
Californian Against the Field at Cleveland; 1;
 Evans in Play

Country Club. Cleveland, Sept. . U.P.) - It was Lawson Little against the field to-day as the Na- tional Amateur golf championship started at the Country Club.
 Little, who already holds c world record of winning three ma jor amateur championships in suc- cession was a six-to-one favorite to make it four straight in completing a successful defense of the title he won last year at Brookline.
 Little to-day meets Rufus King. 1S-year-old school boy from Wich- ita Falls, Tex, in one 9of the [ first-round matches. Little is sz. pected to win, but golf experts from the southern section insist that King will be no pushoveR.
 Wet Grounds V
 A drizzling rain drenclied &9,A fairways and greens of the Lon9 Country Club course during tho night and continued early to-day. threatening to send scores upward in the opening round.
 Because of the renown of ehe forceful Little, who climaxed prac- tice for the tourney with a 31, flve strokes below par, his match with King is rated as one of the four standouts of the day. The others are:
 Chick Evans of Chicago, twice former champion, vs Reynolds Smith of Texas. semi -nnalist in 1884.
 Zell Eaton of Texas, one of the low scorers in the qualifying round, vs Frank Strafaci. Brooklyn, Ma tional Public Links champion.
 Gus Moreland, Walker Cup play CT from Texas, vs Neil Ransick, perennial threat from Cincinnati.

 FOOTBALL LOOP
 HOLDS TO RULES

The opening of the National Football league season next Friday night in Philadelphia when the Pittsburgh Pirates meet the Eagles is the Temple Stadium once more concentrates interest on the diff ferences in the rules governing pro- fessional and college games.
 The pro circuit. which gets its start in the west with the meeting next Sunday in Green Bay between the Packers and the Chicago Car dinals, has not given up any of the differences which were inaugural ed in the 1884 season. It has also some other changes that the rules committee headed by George Halas of the Chicago Bears feels will prove as beneficial as the 1884 changes.
 Encouraging the use of laterals down field Is the purpose of the major change for the 1885 season. Now on penalty down field be- cause of forward past the line of scrimmage, the ball returns to the spot of the illegal pass and not to where the original play started.
 In order to prevent as much as possible touchdoWns being made possible by penalties, all infringe ments inside the ten-yard line a. gainst the defending team will call for only half the distance to the goal line.
 Restriction against substitute talking to teammates on entering the game have also been removed and an official must also notify a team when it has taken it's full allotment of time outs.
 As in 1884 the goal posts will be on the goal line. forward passes will be legal from any point up to the line of scrimmage and ball carrier is not actually halted unti downed.
