To Extinouish Gasoline Fire.

To Exttn0utoh Gasoline Fire.
Experiments recently carried out b,
British fire prevention committee
show that the best way to extinguisll
small gasoline fire Is to spread over
the burning liquid a mixture Of ten
pounds of bicarbOnate Of soda and
twelve pounds Of common sawdust.
The sawdust need not be wet but must
be free from chips and shavings. TIL.
theory is that the sawdust. by floating
ON the burning liquid, excludes the Oxy-
gen Of the air, and the heat of the
flame generates carbOnic acid gas,
which helps extinguish the fire. Saw
dust alone gives satisfactory results,
better than sand or similar materials.

FINE PROGRESS MADE

Fine progress was made yesterday in

New Experience for Moran
to Aim His BIOWS DOWn

with Willard ! had bigger tar
get and several points to wing at.
With smaller man, the bull's-eye is
smaller. and there must be accuracy,
as we'll as force"
Weinert One Victim.
On his past performances Dillon's
punching power is hard to gauge. Once
upon a time he knocked out Charlie
Weinert Then he hit Weinert with
everything he had, but could not forr
him. lie has brought the full force
Of his swings against the jaw Of Bat
ting Levinsky, yet he could not down
him. The most spectacular feat was
the knockout of Tom Cowler. That
was about as stiff a punch as has been
delivered. II would have done credit
10 Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons himself
That Dillon will hit Moran often
before Moran scores on him seems
certain. Whether or not he can hit
hard enough TO bother the sorrel-
topped one or not remains to be dem
ons:rated. When Moran is stung he
is doubly dangerous.
You will recall that spectacular rally
of Morans in the seventh round of the
fight with Jess willard Apparently
Moran was beaten into submission. Will
lard had rushed him TO the ropes and
was arm-weary from thrashing at him
with his huge arms. II seemed that
Moran must drop under that punish
ment.
But the red Irishman, IN a fighting
fury, summoned every ounce that was
left, and drove Willard to the other
side Of the ring, lashing him to the
ropes. 1t was the only dramatic period
of the fight If he is stung by Dillon
IT is very probable that Moran will get
another fit Of the fighting madness and
try to beat Dillon down by main
strength.
Dillons jaw is the hardest part ot
his anatomy 10 reach. When he is
lighting the Giant Killer keeps his Jaw
carefully tucked into his shoulder. Also,
Dillon is quick to counter when the
other man misses a swing. With that
work alone he has won many a battle.
That the crowd believes both mer
in downright earnest is indicated by
an advance sale that is bringing broad
smiles TO the countenances of the pro-
mOters, those three musketeers of the
Bull Chevalier Daniel McKetrick, f.
Harold Pollok and Jack Curley.- The
winner has been promised a match with
Jess Willard. That is probably one o.
those pugilstic fables, for the chance1
are very good that Mr.. Willard will
never put his quarter ton of beef
through the tortures Of training again.

Sympathy of Crowd Will
Probably Be with
Jack Dillon.
BY w. o. MGEEHAN.

Frank Moran will have at least one
experience that will be new to him
when he meets Jack Dillon at Washing
ton Park Thursday. For the first time
in his career he will go against a man
smaller than himself. Hitherto Francis
Charles has been ordering his antago-
nists at least half a size larger than
himself.
Under those conditions the sorrel-
topped one has always enjoyed the
pleasant sensation of having the crowd
with him. Crowds have been with the
little fellow ever since the celebrated
bout between David and Goliath. There
is no doubt that when Moran and Dillon
stand together in the ring there will
be a popular wave Of sympathy for the
poor little fellow"
At any rate, that was the case when
the poor little fellow" went in against
Tom Cowler, the late lamented Cum
berland Man Mountain. Cowler tow
cred over the little man from Indiana
and looked formidable enough to pull
verize Dillon.
The multitude began to shout, "Aw,
take some one your siZe.' James j.
Corbett, manager of the Man Mountain,
bowed his head and his classic features
were tinged with faint pink blush of
shame About three minutes later "the
poor little fellow" leaped up like a
tiger and planted right flush TO Cow
ler's jaw. The Man Mountain dropped
and they had TO rig up a derrick to
drag the remains to the corner.
If Cowler had knocked out Dillon 1t
would not have been considered much
Of a feat The Man Mountain out
weighed the Giant Killer by thirty-fve
pounds or more and he lowered six
inches higher.
Moran Has Thankless Job.
Frank Moran will not gain a great
deal of prestige by knocking Dillon out
either 1t is a thankless job in that
regard, although il may be profitable
financially. 1t has to be done. There
is enough scepticism as TO Moran's
ability to beat Dillon to make 1t de-
cidedly paying fight.
Moran is not lodging Dillon. We
happen to know that he was eager TO
meet him long before there were any
such financial inducements as there
are now. lie considered Dillon only
an incident. IL was only the pleading

While he is confident that Dillon is
Just as easy now as he was then, Mo
