Southern Tires Stand Up To Chips And Breaks
The treads and side walls of Southern Tires are extra thick and strong, making them exceptionally tough and resistant to chipping or breaking.
Early Boxing Rules Shaped By Broughton History
The piece recalls early boxing, noting Broughton formed the first rules and introduced gloves for pupils in London in 1142. His code set a chalked square, side steps after falls, 30 second fall timing, ban on hitting a downed opponent, and counting a kneeled fighter as beaten, marking the dawn of fair play. It also mentions Figg as a later exponent and a 1910 sportography note of Mobile defeating Atlanta in nine innings.
