SPECIAL coRREspoNoENcz re MORNING JOURNAL.
Indianapolis Jan. While il
isn't the intention to belittle the abi-
/ ity Of George Chip nor his achieve
ments of knocking Frank Klaus oul
on two separate and distinct occa-
sions, a word here in regard to Jack
/ Dillons ring record may set at res
any minds worried with fear that the
indianapolis boxer is just plain dub
whom Manager Glassco chose to OPP
pose Freddie Hicks February
Looking UP Dillon's record IN Tom
my Andrews sporting annual, it b
learned that The Hoosier middle
weight engaged George Chip nine
times and in neither instance did he
have the decision, either by news
paper or referee, given against him
In 1871, Dillon scored a clean-cut YER
dict over Chip in fifteen rounds at
Dayton, o., while one of the others
was declared "a draw. The remaining
seven contests between them were
staged whore no decisions were given
Naturally it would seem that Dill
len is az least the equal Of Klaus
conqueror, If performances do not lie
AS far as Chip being better carl
than Dillon, since Georges victories
over Klaus the majority of critics
will agree to that, but if he demands
the earth with radium fence around
il to display his wares, the small fry
promoters arc unable to talk business
with him
Before CHIP whipped Klaus so de- (
cisively Glassco had q chance to gel
Georges services for a figure reason /
able 70 suit the Windsor promoters /
purse, but since the Newcastle, Pa. /
La jumped into prominence Ghssco (
declares, they don't make enough In
the minis TO tempt chip.
Furthermore I'm not going TO al. Z
low Jimmy Dime to dictate terms 10 (
nae, said Glassco. I'm running nay
own club, can get along without him
and intend TO do so As for Patsy
Brannigan against Cal Delaney, that's I
ont of The question Ia the first place,
II wouldn't be am even match. Bran
nigan can make ms pounds easily ana
wouldn't give away ten pounds in
weight, ass he would be Obliged 10
were he matched here with Delaney
] don't believe Delaney can DO better
than 12S, probably a little lower
If there is anybody who wants to
see Hicks whipped, as Freddie main
tains there is, he viii have as much
chance to realize his wish If he pins
his faith in Dillon Jack Is one Of the
greatest middleWeights operating on
this side Of the Atlantic ocean, and i
that means the world
today
His record will speak for itself and
is one inferior to none. Jack still is
a young fellow, just approaching %
years of age. six of which have been
spent among the leading mitt hingers
Of the country Tt win not De the
first time that he met Hicks, either
la 1910, at Newark o., Dillon and
the Detroit lad went fifteen rounds
Dillon winning The decision. That
was shortly after Jack outgrew the ,
lightweight ranks and was accepting
engagements as "a weltefWeight, a
class Hicks himself was working In.
Freddie will find Dillon a nut tough
enough TO crack. That he admits
himself In fact the Detroit middle ,
would rather fight Chip than Dillon.
Fred makes no bones Of the fact CHAT >
DIlcn is man to be feared even !
mere thap the acknowledged middle s
weight champion who found excuses I
10 cancel at least two engagements =
with Hicks scheduled for Pittsburgh E,
