JACK DILLON, the Indianapolis mid dlewefght or light heavyweight star, had better forget about challenging Jess Willard for a championship battle for the worlds title. If reports are correct, Jack has been issuing a def to Willard to fight him in a Marathon battle for a side bet and purse, says Tom Andrews.
 Jack Is a wonderful fighter in his own class, but he had better remain there and not attempt to do the impos- sib1e. The old story about a good big man and a good little man, etc., still holds good. Jack has shown that he can whip many of the heavyweights and middleweights-in fact, some of them are not anxious to clash with him but when 1t comes to meeting man of Willard's size and weight 1t is a different matter. Dillon whipped Gun boat Smith in @ ten round contest in Milwaukee-thati is, he had the best of it on points-and, judging from the way things stood at the end of the bout,

From what know of him am of the opin- ion that he would play his head off for some one he liked and who would treat him kindly and considerably. He has never been tried with that kind of treatment. It has always been a kick and a cuff for him. It seems strange that no one has thought of trying the other course"
 There may be something in what this man says. Perhaps a change of scen- cry would work wonders in Zinlmer- man, but 1t is certain that the Cubs would never consent to part with him. They roast him daily, but they appre- ciate his value to the team, neverthe- less, and the club benefits by his bat yielding and his efforts ir the infield.

POLO IMPRACTICABLE FOR
 /. COLLEGE SPORT

DEvEREUx MIJABURN, member of D the Meadowprook polo team, Is cf the opinion that polo Is impracti- cah}e as a college sport because of the large expense involved and the fact that 1t would tend to destroy college democracy among he students. Mil burn voiced his opinion in an interview recently. ''
 Here are hts reasons for barring polo as a college gano:
 Whenever you hear the game dis cussed you hear the same two criti- cismo--flrst, that 1t is expensive and, second, that 1t is dangerous. These criticisms are fair and have to be met.
 Polo Is undoubtedly dangerous. So are all games where there is physical contact or the probability of physical contact. The dangers of polo are much exaggerated in the popular mind, main ly because the newspapers in their -e- ports of games always make the great est possible capital out of any injury that occurs Tn a game.
 "The great drawback to polo is that 1t Is expensive. This fact probably prevents it's being seriously considered as a college sport. Even if played on q very modest scale 1t is still compara- lively expensive.
 My idea of a college game is a game in which all can compete on an equal footing. This is true of baseball, football, rowing and the other college games. It could not be true of polo. If polo could be open to all I think it would be an ideal game in the colleges, | as 1t is a fast hard. clean game in which a player has to use his head as well as his body"

 It was this doctor, too, who put Del Gainer into playing shape after Gathers leg had put him out of the game for long time.

Gnndnom Is Surprised

BALTIMORE, Md, Dee. 11.-Frofes- sor Frank Goodnow of Johns Hopkins University. whose contract as cOnstitu- tionaI advisor to the Chinese govern ment will expire next May. expressed surprise that the Chinese council of state had decided so soon to return to a monarchial form of government.
 Taking into consideration all the circumstances, he said he believed the chances for development of a constitu- tional government in China are better under a monarchy than a republic. He had advised deliberation, however, in making a change he said, and suggest cd that the powers be sounded in the matter. Apparently Japan, Russia and Great Britain regarded a change in the form of government with disfavor, he said. st%N
 As far as Professor Goodnow could judge, the upper classes were rather indifferent as to the form Of govern ment The feeling among the poorer classes generally, he said seemed to be that the country would be more "di- Vincly favored" under an emperor than under a president.
