loss Of is yards in the collegiate
game.
Here are other things to remem-
Der about professional football:
Substitutes may communicate
with their mates Immediately upon
entering the game.
When a ball-carrier goes out OF
bounds or is tackled at any point
within is yards of the sideline,
the ball is placed for play at a
corresponding point Is yards from
the sideline.
Offside penalties against the
team on defense within its own
1O-yard stripe is half the distance
to the goal line instead Of five
yards.
A fumbled ball, except when re-
sulting from lateral pass, may
be advanced by either team, no
matter whether the ball touches
the ground or not. On fumbled
laterals, the pro rule is the same
as the collegiate, which is the same
as saying that the offense can re-
cover and advance while the de.
tense only may recover unless the
ball is caught while in the air, IN
which instance it may be ad'
vanced.
FUMBLED KICKS
Fumbled kicks may be recovered
by the kicking team but may not
be advanced unless the receiver
of the kick gains possession OF
the ball and then fumbleS when
tackled.
The penalty for two incomplete
forward passes on the same down
has been changed. In the past
there have been instances when
a forward pass was completed and
after the ball had been advanced
an attempted lateral actually be-
came a forward pass. Under the
collegiate code, the ball in such a
case is brought back to the point
at which the ball originally was
put in play. The professional
rule calls for a loss Of five yards
from the point where the second
and illegal forward pass took
place.
A second incomplete forward
pass in the end zone constitutes
a touchback and loss of the ball
to the opponents on their 20-yard
line, unless the second is thrown
when the ball was put in play
from a point outside the op
ponents' 20-yard stripe, in which
case the ball passes over to the
opponents at that point instead
of on the 20-yard line.

Marty Gallagher, the Foggy

to his local fistic wars in a ten
rounder against Eddie Hogan,
Jack Dempsey's protege, next
Monday nigh. at Griffith Stadium
on the Turner and Ahearn all7star
fight card, said yesterday after a
brisk wourout that Joe Louis
was afraid I might hurt him."
Marty said this in all seriousness.

for his title defense against Tom

st rocked Joe a couple Of
times with stiff rights" the burly
Irishman declared. He hit me,
too, but he didn't hurt. I
wanted to pour everything
had into those rights, and I'm
sure Joe felt 'em.
"All can say is that Louis
was scared he might get banged
up in training, and one Of the
newspaper men told me that Joe
said to Blackburne I don't like
the way Gallagher ruSheS me.
Martyrs manager-trainer, Jim
Mcnamara, said that if Gallagher
knocked out Hogan he will at
tempt to line him up for a bout
with the champion within the
next six months.
Gallagher is hitting harder than
ever. He has been working at the
National Guard Armory with Muir
ray Hammer, Matt Twomey's
heavyweight, and the two have
been slapping one another with
everything but Twomey's bucket.
Lou Gevinson, w ash in gto n
southpaw, who mixes with frankie
(Kid) Covelli, Brooklyn Italian, in
one Of the ten-rounderS next Mon
day, increased his training pace.
GeVinSon, still Smarting under q
defeat by Archibald, also works
out at the Armory. Lou was trained
down a little too fine for Archi-
bald, but there won't be any weight
limit next week, though he'll come
in around 1913.

Regulation Needed

TT SEEMS a miracle that more were not killed in
i the fire that destroyed the Chesapeake Bay liner
City of Baltimore.
The startling rapdity with which flames spread over
the vessel leaving only about ten minutes in which to
abandon ship makes it remarkable that at last reports
the, toll counted only two dead and two missing.
Undoubtedly the brave conduct of Capt. Charles
Brooks and his crew and the common sense of the pas
sengers coupled with the presence in the vicinity Of
numerous rescue craft account for the
small loss Of life.
But the tragedy and the possibility that all aboard
might have lost their lives raises serious question
to the of operation of the bay liners and sim
liar craft plying the Potomac and other nearby rivers
How was it possible that the flames could have spread
as rapidly as they did!
Their origin has not been determined but survivors
have already stated that after the fire started it spread
to the accompaniment of explosions.
These explosions may have been caused by the gaso-
line tanks of numerous automobiles carried cargo.
If that is found to be the fact it calls attention to
dangerous practice which must be eliminated.
Steamers going to nearby beach resorts make prac-
tce of carrying the automobiles of passengers
If gasoline is left in the tanks of these cars it can
readily be that serious hazard is created.
These tanks should undoubtedly all be drained
process requiring only few minutes.
There also arises out of the City of Baltimore tragedy
the question of complete passenger lists similar ships
Apparently there only such list and this
in the control of the purser Of the steamer who might
easily have been of the victims.
These and other problems call for regulation by the
operating companies in their interest if not by the
law in the interest Of the public.

Says:

GAY, give those Japanese credit
~ when it comes to turning on
the belligerent heat. They are
only about half a size larger
than a Singer midget, but put
muskets in their hands and
they'll not only offer to lick the
world, but will challenge the

Over here the Japanese look
harmless enough running those
rolling ball games at amusement
resorts. But even there, when
you buck up against a Jap, you
can't win.
Even if you get $4,000 points
in the rolling ball contest, it still
isn't enough to win the alumni

But in Old Nippon the mill
tary certainly runs the works.
All the Japanese Diet and tax
payers are expected to do is put
up and shut up, in the order
named, and let the army take
care of the rest.
They call it the Diet because
it's got the citizenry starving to
pay for battleships and army
expenses.
P. Say, that was the wild.

the true story of how Leadville,
Colo, once built a church.
It was in the seventies. The
congregation held services over
a saloon and gambling hall. One
Saturday night, when the games
were going full blast downstairs,
the wardens and veStrymen and
the minister were meeting in
the rooms above. They had de-
cided to build a church, but
with much campaigning and
solicitation of funds they had
been able to scrape together
only $1,000. That wasn't enough.
Their campaign had dragged
along for several years, but they
were getting nowhere. Down
below they could hear a surge
Of men in and out Of the gam
bling hall, the chant Of the deal
ers, the heavy clink Of $40 gold
pieces on the tables. The min
lister had an idea.
81 believe" he said, "that the
time has come to ascertain
whether God really wants a
church In LeadviIIe. / propose
that we take our $4,000 down
stairs and play it at the roulette
table. If God wants a church,
we win; if He doesn't, we lose"
There was unanimous agree
ment. Parson, wardens and
vestrymen gathered around the
roulette table. They ran their
$1,000 up to $4,000, pulled out
and built themselves a nice little
church.
John Henry Lewis Is a sin
cere Christian, according to all
who know him. He earnestly and
devoutly desires to preach the
Gospel. There is no irreverence
in suggesting that the Lord
might strengthen his arm like
that Of Jepthah against the
Ammonites. # he has faith, he
will, Of course, wager all he can
get together on his fight with
Braddock.
We are supposed to have
passed out of the age Of faith
into the age of reason. But
clerics of both sides pray to the
same God for victory in war.
We are perhaps condescendingly
amused at John Henry Lewis or
Tiger Flowers praying for vic
tory in a mauling contest. But
prizefighting is a sensible, civil
lied and harmless business COM
pared to war. And much more
conclusive. Once in a while
somebody does really get some
thing out Of it.

In a recent verbal bout their

which would give to each newly

In all seriousness, several
members suggested that if the
House was going into the dis

to send out some of the books
written by other members Of
Congress and also some popu-

But, of course, there was one
dissenting voice to these sug-
