weight division IN a serious mess.

that the contest is for the middle

The real contender for the cham
pionship is Jack Dillon, who, during
the past two years, has been fighting
on an average of twice month. True,
he is not meeting any classy boxers,
but he is always working and keeping

The one bright spot in Jack Her

ing that we are going to make a gar
rison finish. I hope to have Peekin-

Chance evidently based his remarks
on the fact that his club has given
its most creditable performance Of the
season by winning five out of six
games Ray Caldwell began the win
ming streak, taking the last battle at
Washington. Fisher, McHale and
Schulz won on domestic soil and slim

for the fact that Frank Chance

waivers on the attenuated finger, be-
