Weighing-In Rule May Be Changed
 To Aid Champions

Messrs. Lou Ambers, Barney Ross Marcel Thil and Sixto Escobar, the four champion fighters who meet in the Carnival of Champions of 1887 at the Polo Grounds on September g, are concerned about the weigh ing-in rule, which prevails in the New York State Athletic commits sion. They want a new deal in this particular affair which concerns their opponents, Pedro Montanez, Ceferino Garcia, Fred Apostoli and Harry Jeffra.
 It pertains the possibility of a poStponement of the bouts from the original date - little something, which should never be thought about in promotional fields. How ever, the possibility does exist and the thinking champions are intent on protecting themselves.
 So 1t iS that they have petitione6 the commission to insist on a weign- ing-in ceremony every day that is necessary or until the fight is ac- tually held. The rule now permits fighters to weigh in on the set date of a fight and to not weigh ln again unless the bout is put back 48 hours or more.
 Protection
 In the case of Ambers, he says that Montanez is inclined to take on weight and that if the present rule Is adhered to that the Porto Rican might come in as Q welter- weight rather than 6 lightweight Thil has the same argument, stating that he understands that Apostoli has to pare down heavily to make the I60-pound limit and Ross, too, claiming that he is many pounds under the welterweight mark all the time, does not want to give Ceferino Garcia any advantage. The same speech is made by Esco- bar regarding his opponent, Harry Jeffra, the latter being 8 lad who piles on plenty of flesh between bouts and has to work diligently to make the required bantamweight limit of ilB pounds,
 Each champion Is legitimate Irl his class in the matter Of weight and tn stalking their titles they be. lieve that they are due the e0nsld. eFation they ask of the boEina solons, It seems to be a fair de. mand end very likely Chairman Gen, John !, PhelaB will call tha boys together either this week b. next and declare to comply wltll the champions proposal,

NEW YORK PRO FOOTBALLERS
 SUDDUE STARS
KObrOsky of Trinity Star of College Boys Lee
 mans Runs 62 Yards

New York, Sept. 9.-(UP)-Pro- fessional football regained some of its lost prestige today by the 14-7 defeat handed the Eastern Collegi- ate All-Stars by the New York Giants last night.
 It was the fourth of 8 series of preseason games between the pros and all-star collegiate teams, and the win evened the games won and lost at two all.
 The Pros scored their first win Tuesday when the Chicago Bears beat an Oklahoma All-Star college team, 25-0. Prior to that the Green Bay Packers had dropped a 6-0 decision to an All-Star team in Chi cago and the Bears had suffered a similar defeat in Dallas. Tex.
 Before 25,000 spectators at the Polo grounds last night the Giants brought the preseason series to a climax in game that was closer than the score indicates.
 Star of the college side was Mickey Kobrosky of Trinity, who threw seven complete passes for a total of 90 yards. Leemans, for mer George Washington ace whO starred for the college boys last year, was the top man on the pro side.
 He sprinted 62 yards to a touch- down on return of a quick-kick by Fran Murray of Penn, and dead- locked the score in the second period.
 The Stars had scored first in the same session when, with Kobrosky flinging passes to Lou Elverson of Penn, they drove 38 yards to 6 score. Vanny Albanese of Syra- cuse hammered over the touchdown from the h-yard line and Mur- ray converted.
 A few minutes later, Leemans made his brilliant run through the entire All-Star team. Tillie Man. ton converted the point for the Giants and added another in the final period.
 The Giants started their second touchdown drive late in the third period. Hank Soar, former Provi- dence ace went over for the touch- down. Manton converted.

Today's Sport

all these years, yet somehow they managed to escape the eyes of the All-America Selectors. This seems strange, because everyone who picks an All-America always introduces it with boast that no player, no matter how obscure the college, was overlooked. Which, of course, is a laugh. With so many boys playing the game, selector is lucky to par italy cover the name" schools.
 New York hasn't seen a sweeter back than Kobrosky in years. A terrific runner, a good kicker, and superb passer, he overshadowed any back on the field, even the n- luStrious Tuffy Leemans of the Giants. And speaking of Leemans, he was completely overlooked by the All-America boys when he was 8 student at George Washington. Yet I have it from Washington sports writers that he was every bit as good in college as he is today.
 Smith was great workman last night. His duty was to back up the line, md he did a smashing job, making his more famous comrades appear puny. He was all over the field, tireless, making tackles from end to end.
 The two most noted players on the field were Kelley and Meyer, and the little soldier man was much the better of the two. Kelley was inept on defense, getting knocked out Of the way whenever the pros decided to work his side of the line. And he was no scorching flame on the offensive. He missed . perfect pass that might have tied the score, and spoiled beautiful quick kick by knocking 1t over the goal line when even your little Freddie could have downed 1t on the Giants 1-yard stripe.
 The professional who most in- trigued me was Tarzan White, late of Alabama. It is reported that Tar gan turned down good job in Hol- lywood Gas stand in for a gorilla) to accept the job with the Giants. He stands s feet 8 inches, weighs 220, and is covered with 6 luxurious  coat of fur. Last nights game was his first as a pro and he was very pleased with the rugged manner with which the professionals played.
 Everybody on this club is very rough an dtough," he said through 8 weeks growth of beard. And I hear the other pro clubs are even meaner. That's mighty nice. There's nothing I relish more than playing for keeps"
 Tar2an then explained what he meant by keeps" Anything you yank off an opponent, such as an arm or leg, is yours to save as a memento.

TOn1mieS Off For First
 National Tournament

tomorrow morning. Some time Sat- urday they will play their first tour nament game, the opposition to be known Friday night, when drawings will be made from 24 entries from various parts of the country.
 Pending their arrival in Dayton the ball players will be in charge of Cliff McHale, who will report them to Manager Harry Melvin ir the Ohio city, the latter coming tc the tournament city from Kansa: City where he is attending a posta convention. The party left Water. bury at 11:50 for Meriden by bus where 1920 through train was expected to get them into the mid dle-west tomorrow morning.
 All Set
 Well-fortified in the pitching de- partment with Mandy Green, Wally Berg and southpaw Charley Keeley and team that has hit well over 300 for the season, Manager Melvin feels that the Tomrhies will make their first try for the title a good one, his objective being to get into the finals for the national champ ionship, and thereby accomplish something Waterbury team has been unable to do in eight years.
 A total of about $500 has been raised by the "On to Dayton" finan- cial campaign committee headed by Daniel J. Leary, plus receipts from a midnight show benefit performance held last night at the Alhambra theater, where presentation of Joe Miller championship trophy of gold baseball charms were made. Finals in the Dayton tournament will be played Saturday, Sept. IS.

NET FINAL NOW SET AT FOREST HILLS
Polish and Chilean Girls May Meet For Title;
 Alice Marble Out

Forest Hills, N. r., Sept. 9.-(UP) The first all foreign finals in the history of the women's American singles tennis championships ap- peared inevitable today.
 As four survivors in the mems and women'S divisions battled for semi- finals positions, the betting was heavy that Chilean and 8 Polish girl would meet Saturday for the title relinquished yesterday by Alice Marble of San Francisco.
 Miss Marbles conqueror was l. year-old Dorothy Man Bundy of Santa Monica, Cal, who won l-6, 6-5, 1-6, the experts regarded Miss Bundy's game too weak to carry her through the semi-finals tomorrow against Anita Lizana, of Chile.
 Miss Lizana required only 38 min. utes to beat Mrs. Johnny Van Ryn of Austin, Tex, 6:l, 6-l, yesterday.
 The Polish girl, JadWiga Jedrze- jowska, plays Mary Hardwick to- day In one of the quarter-finals.
 In the other quarter final, Helen Jacobs, of Berkeley, Cal, faces Kay 6tammers, left-handed English star,
 In the mems upper bracket quar- ter-fnak, Don Budge of Oakland faces Joe Hunt. Los Angeles. Frankie Parker of Spring Lake, N. J., meets Johnny Van Ryn, Austin, Tex.
 Tn the lower half Of the mems bracket, Baron dottried Von Cramm of Germany faces Bobby Riggs, sens sational iesyeaF.old from Los An. geles tomorrow for 6 place in the finals,
 Won cramm needed i've sets to eliminate Bryan lBitsyl Grant yes. teFday, and Riggs took the same number ln disposing Of Charley Hare Of England.

New York, Sept. o-(UP)-If the utter foolishness of the All-America football team business wasn't re- vealed in its full glory by the game between the Eastern Collegians and the professional New York Giants last night, then I'm a two-horned ibex and should spend the remainder of my days in a zoo.
 The pures and the impures strug- gled for a full hour on the mangy turf of the Polo Grounds, and when it was all over who were the stars? the great Larry Kelley of Yale? No sir! The mighty Monk Meyer of Army? No nnamI The terrific Bobby Larue of Pittsburgh? No sir, Bobree!
 The stars were two gentlemen named Mickey Kobrosky and Stuart Smith. You never saw their names in any All-America lineup, or even listed with the honorable mentions" 1" Yet, Kobrosky at little Trinity, and Smith at little Bucknell, have been playing football in the east for four years. It is logical to assume that they have been bang-up performers

him you must be very watchful for he
Thank you, said Coyote. Il win see
If I can put an end to that wicked
beast"
He went on down the trail and soon
he heard someone calling Coyote!
COyotel"
Coyote went along until he saw a
large mountain sheep coming to meet
him. They walked toward each other.
When they we're very close to each
other Coyote said to himself. you
look very wicked and fierce with those
great ugly horns"
After gazing ferociously at Coyote for
a moment the ram said IN a roaring
voice: What right have you to trod
over my private land without my con-
sent? Whoever passes over my land
does so at the cost of his life"
rs that SOP" asked Coyote. "You
must be very powerful"
Well" said Coyote, watching the
ram, Let me see how powerful you are
with those horns. Strike that pine
tree and let me see how deeply they
will penetrate 1t"
IAN right, III do that" the ram
boastfully shouted. He jumped, struck
the tree high above the ground, bury
ing one Of his horns deep in the trunk.
Before the ram could release him
self, Coyote drew his great flint knife
and cut off the rams head The body
fell to the grounS. He then cut the
head away leaving the horn in the
tree Coyote threw the rams head and
body against the great rocky side of
the mountain and the blood splashing
upon the canyon wall left an imprint
human faces looking to-
ward the horn in the tree.
After all was done Coyote stood by
the tree and said reverently: an the
future generations this shall be a medi-
cine tree to all tribes"

the cliff and for fear of swerving
them from that course he slackened
his shooting, firing just often enough
to keep the great numbering beasts
running blindly in the direction in
which they were headed.
Buffaloes run with their heads down.
The leaders of the herd on this oc-
casion were fairly in the trap before
they saw 1t. They tried to swerve and
check the rush, but the tremendous
weight of beef behind them was too
great and over the cliff they went.
When Trask saw that the herd was
going where he wanted it, he swung
his horse aside and dashed to the
top of nearby high butte, in order
to avoid being caught in the rush
should any of the herd turn from the
cliff and head to one side or turn
back
He was barely out of the way when
100 head or more of the herd came
rushing over the backtrail, blind with
terror. From his station on the butte
Trask could see the others of the
animals go plunging over the cliff
and fall 100 feet or more to the frozen
surface Of the Yellowstone river.
Many of them were killed by the fall,
others suffered broken legs and backs
and were unable to rise. Others es-
,aped serious injury by falling on top
If the scores that had preceded them,
/ cushion which broke their fall.
Trask could see the latter struggling
% their feet after a few minutes and
continuing on to safety across the ice.
He remained on top of the butte
Until he had counted so that went
On across the river uninjured. He
then started down to kill the wound
ID animals on the ice.
He left his pony grazing on the
liver bank behind the cliff over which |
he buffalo had stampeded, and des- !
cended to the river. He soon was |
among the buffalo and busy shoot |
ng the crippled ones.
Bullet Splits Behind Him
He counted 200 or more carcasSes !
and was viewing the scene with con- |
siderable qualification when he heard t
spat in the ice ahead of /
lin. A second later he heard the
-eport of a gun and discovered that
le was the target of a dozen Indians
lcroSs the river who were apparently
)ound to have his scalp as well as
he meat that he had killed.
Trask lodged behind the carcass OF
big buffalo bull and opened fire
n return. His buffalo gun would shoot
nearly a mile, and he managed to
tand the Indians off until dark, kill
ng one or two Of them in the
meantime.
During the afternoon one of the
indians. while the others held his II
