Mentioning the name OF Jack Dillon
recalls to mind the fact that this Hoosier
husky is meeting all and sundry scrap
pers and has never been known to bag
gle over a few pounds In weight Jack
takes them all on, from 100 pounds up
to 40. and he always has managed to
give a mighty good account Of himself.
Dillon has been a sensation in the East
this fall He is pointing himself toward
a match with Jess Willard, and while on
the surface such q battle seems q Joke
AFFAIR. Dillon and his hackers are serf-
ously proceeding to that end
Dillon's next important engagement IL
scheduled for Monday night at Madison
Square Garden. New York City. when he
will meet Charley weinert over the ten
round route. Following this encounter
Dillon hopes to get Fraik Moran into the
ring.
Although be Is not a match, physically,
for any OF the foremost big men. Dillon
Is as dangerous as q stick of dynamite.
What he lacks, in weight, reach and
height is counterbalanced by his fighting
ability. which makes him a worthy and
most formidable opponent for such men
as Frank Moran, Jim Coffey, Charlie

Dillon met Jim Savage at the Broad
way Sporting Club, of Brooklyn. recently.
He was outweighed fifteen and one-half
pounds, was almost q head shorter than
his opponent, and In reach Jim also had
IL on him to the extent of a good six
inches. Despite all this Dillon gave
Savage a beating such as he never ex-
perienced in all his career. knocking him
down three times for the count. and all
but knocking him out. He cut and
bruised and pounded Savage in every
round after the first
II Dillon can defeat Weinert as de-
cisively as he did Savage, then the
Hoosier will be in position to force
Moran into an early match
Leach Cross Is coming back and pur-
poses making things disagreeable for
lightweight title seekers. Leach sig
nalized his active re-entry into the ring
a few nights ago by knocking out Fight
ing Fitzpatrick, a tough youngster Of the

ping. That Cross has definitely recon-
sidered his announced retirement Is evil
dent from the following formal state
ment send to the press by Sam Wal
ZACH. brother manager Of the fighting
Hebrew:
Leach has started light work to con-
ditien himself for a busy season in the
ring this fall and winter. He'll take on
one or two fairly good boys first and
then will he ready for all the topnotchers.
Some people seem to think Leach a little
old. but his answer TO this is: Watch me
in 1917.' He's been a clean liver all his
life: so there is no logical reason why he
should not be just as successful during
the coming season and seasons as he was
in the past. Physically. Leach Is just as
good as ever and Is still a big box ONCE
attraction During his career in the ring
he has seen many a star come and go.
He Is the most satisfactory and thrilling
performer In the lightweight bunch. and
II the title holder can only be coaxed
into championship match. Leach Is the
one capable OF grabbing that champion
ship"
What brother Sam has to say regard
Ing Leach Is not far from the truth Cross
has always been a consistent performer
and he Is capable right now OF making all
title seekers go the limit to win the
popular decision.
