KNOCKOUT OF coWLER GREAT
FEAT.
Dllon's greatest feat, about this
time. was the knocking out of big
Tom Cowler. This particular heavy
weight was Jim Corbctt's pct. Corbett
declared that under his coaching the
'all Englishman would become worlds
champion. Cowler lived with Corbett
and trained for many months. He
won several fights an spectacular
style. Six feet three and 4 hall
inches tail. weighing we'll above
tho 200 pound mark. muscular
and clever. no at least looked
like champion. Corbett selected
4 Dlllon an an easy victim who
could add something 70 Cowier's
growing reputation.
When the fighting grew hot Dillon
slammed a rib-crusher home, and
rushing into close quarters put his
! head against the big mans chest and
swung his famous overland right
The blow struck Cowler fairly on the
point OF the chin. and It knocked hin,

II happened. II was necessary to car
ry him to his corner. 1t ended his
career az a boxer.
This madp Jack Dillon's reputation.
He was nicknamed Tho Man Eater
and the "Gian' Killer" He became
Immensely popular with fight fans.
Unfortunately he became immensely
unpopular with all other heavyweight
fighters. except possibly Levinsky,
whom he must have hypnotized.

making a match. Frank Moran has
just signed to meet him after
holding out for months. weincrt
candidly states that he wants no more

ridiculous. lighting man half his
size. As Willard is exactly llN inches
taller than Dillon. and weighs a full
100 pounds more, perhaps his objec
tion To being made ridiculous was well
founded. Willard Is the one man the
public wouldn't like to see Dillon
fight. It's admitted the Kansas Giant
