NJ 'GOORTY EXPECTED

East Pittsburg Boys Victory
Over Dillon an Empty

SAN FRANCISCO, March 95.--Though
Frank Klaus is accredited with a victory
over Jack Dillon in last Saturdays mid p
dlcweight encounter. il Is very evident
that the Pttsburg fighter has not gained
any followers in this section of the coun-
try. Fight critics are inclined to make
light of Franks championship aspira
tious, and II is the generally expressed
belief that IL McGoorty is one-half as
good as his admirers claim he IS. the
Wisconsin lad will make short work of
Klaus
This conclusion is the result of Klaus s
pa'pably weak demonstration of the
Queensberry game. a. we'll as his inabil-
lty TO produce the sleep-producins punch.
If his showing against Dillon Is any cri-
terion. they argue that he hasn't the jolt
mat rocks an opponent to sleep, and even
though he should win the middIeweight
title he would be but q poor successor
TO the late Stanley ketchel
klaus won over Dillon because he was
the better wrestler of the two" remarked
veteran follower OF the ring.
Whenever the men stood away and
boxed Dillon proved he was Franks mas
ter. At least three times nc had Pitts
burg's idol going, and in the first four
rounds he had the lead by mile.
Beginning with the nth round. Klaus
resorted To lnhshting. and his superior
knowledge Of holds placed Dillon at his
mercy. In the final fifteen rounds there
was hardly moment when the men were
not locked in each others embrace, with
Klaus hammerlng In telling body blows.
Naturally this kind OF work does not ap-
peal to q fight crowd. and there was
hardly man at the ringside who WINS
not glad when il was over
'ln the twentieth round Dillon was so
weak he could hardly stand on his feet.
Stll Klaus could not produce the knock :
out punch. lie may win the middleweisht
championship, but if he does II will be
because the Contenders are not nearly as
good as the topnotchers Of other days"
