JACK DILLON IDLE;
 FIGHTERS FEAR HIM
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, August 2-Jack Dillon IS one of that rare type of pugilists who has become so good that none or the other middlcweights care to tackle him, and as a result he has Feen forced into scmi-idlcness be- cause he cannot find pugilists who are willing to swap punches with him.
 Dillon's real name is Ernest Cut Ter Price. He's 24 years old and comes from Indiana. He's the only pusilist in history who named himself after race horse. He saw the whirl- wind trOtter, Lou Dillon, in action several times just as he was begin ming his pugilistic career.
 Lou rillon is unbeatable" said Dillon. "Pll call myself Jack Dillon and try to perpetuate the name of Dillon among the unbeatables.'
 Dillon seems to have accomplished his purpose. He began fighting in 1909 and although he has engaged in more than loo battles over seven years stretch he never has been knocked out or even knocked down a record that no other pugilist can boast of over such long span Of fighting years
 Dillon started as 8 lightweight. but outgrew it in a few yeara He be- came welter and later on gradu- ated into the middleweight class.
 Dillon has scored knockouts, ref cree. or newspaper decisions over such men as Battling Levinsky Frank Klaus, Eddie McGoorty. Bob Moha, Sailor Petroskev, Buck Grouse. Tony (to,,.,y,i io1- Ci1hort George (Knockout) Brown, Frank Mantell Charles Weinert the Newark heavyweight, George Chip, and a score of other men who rank high in the middleweight division.
 Dilon's record shows him charged with only two defeats since he start ed fighting in 1908. One was at the hands of Eddie McGoortv in 1911. and the other by Frank Klaus, in 1912 Later he gave Klaus two beatings to even up matters.
 The 15S-pound Dillon was awarded a newspaper decision over Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. the same man who held the 21C-pound Jim Coffey to draw in their recent bout in New York.
 'I'm having pretty tough time of it just now getting fights" said Dillon. "rhe other middleweights don't seem to want any of my stuff. hate to get rusty and if l can't coax McGoorty. Levinsky, Clabby' or some of the others into the ring with me, I'll go after the heavyweights."
 A different crop of fighters was LoV N1 i,, hn old Tn fhnSp days the first consideration of a fighter is the mazuma. In the past the last thought was money.
 Many years ago Jack Dempsey fought Jack Fogarty with skin tight gloves in the woods near New York City. The fight was for side bet and purse--winner to take all.
 Fogartys put up wonderful fight. hut in the twenty seventh round Dempsey shot terrific right swing to Fogarty's jaw and Fogarty went down for the count.
 When Fogarty revived he saw sev- eral of the spectators passing the hat. "Why are they doing that?" he asked, through his bleeding. swollen lips.
 "They're taking up q collection for yOu." was the answer.
 "Tell them to stop ito stop quick" snapped Fogarty. "l don't deserve any money. l appreciate the spirit of the boys. and their kindly intent. but I lost and I don't deserve any money." And although several hundred dollars was collected mad presented Fogarty he refused to ac- cept it.
