,ocL Dillon Of indianapolis defeated

J.. their ten round bout at Madison

arm and leg weary and chung on and
held on every available occasion.
Twice, il seemed, Dillon had fine op-
,ortunities to score knockdowns IL not
lnockouts. In the sixth Weinert slipped
on A wet spot in the centre OF the ring,
dropping his guard and barring his
IN pilon's poised wicked right. Instead
Of taking advantage of Weinerts mean
disadvantage Dillon stepped back and
waited for Charley TO right himself. In

weinert did not possess the
10 cope With his squat bulky. boring ad-
,ersary. He could not hurt Dillon with
ais cisanest punches at the start he
could not even him after he wea-
led from the dazzling pace OF the nrst
i've rounds. II was simply a case OF a
rugged fighter against a boxer. an' as
the fighter had superiority of strength
Il was not TO be denied.
Weinert showed 10 excellent advantage

and cautious, though always ready TO

Repeatedly In the earlier ounds
weinert would land half a dozen lefts
without a return. Dillon shook the
bows of with "A sneer, content once In

In the fifth Dillon finally worked his
way In 10 close quarters inc from then
on II was only a question of whether
welnert could weather the last half OF
the gale.
Twice In he fifth. about half a min
ute at a time. Dillon drove Weinert
around. across and about the ring be-
fore a shower of furious blows to the
body. These ~fusilladcs Slapped the
strength Of Weinert. The remaining
rounds were much like the fifth, though
Weinert was game throughout and often
tried to even matters with II desperate
blow. Repeatedly he rallied and fought
back gamely. though fully.
In the seventh round an overland

Augie Rather of The Bronx. who a
few short months ago held the ANA
,eur we.terweight championship Of
America. gave Jimmy Capper a laclng

overlooked many fine openings. II,
tough, himself arm weary and didn'
have the punch in the last couple Of
rounds.
The crowd was rather a d!sappoint

as the arena sections were sparsell
populated, perhaps because OF the fac
