Nj A match that should prove one
Il L Of the best between the big fel-
lows and which seems to have been
passed up in the rush by most Of the
promoters, has been arranged by the
Cream City A. c. Of Milwaukee for the
evening Of March IS at the big Audi
tOriUm building. The contest will bring
together ~GunbOat' Smith and Jack
Dillon, the HoOsier fighter, whom all
the mldleW Fights have been anxious
10 greet anywhere but in the ring.
OF late Dillon has been fighting the
light heavyweights and when the Oc-
casiOn demanded he has fought middle
weights at the $50 pound mark Dur
ing the past month the Indiana whirl-
wind has been having a busy time OF

has fought such men as Young Ahearn,
who claims the middleWeiEht cham
piOnshiu OF Europe. 'Porlzv' Flynn OF
Boston. who is a husky heavyweight,
and Charlie Weinert- considered one
Of the most promising light heavy
weights in the country, and who re-

veteran heavyweight

heavyweiEhts in the country among

matched for the worlds title with Jack

Of the greatest middleWeights IN the
country for the past three or -FOUR
