battles between Jess Willard and
Frank Moran, and sill the gladiators
are far apart, with little likelihood
that there will be an immediate meet
ing.
The managers of the fighters seem
to be intoxicated by the large purses
that have been mentioned, though
they haven't seen any real money.
Tex. Richard is now out with
proposition to give Willard $4,000
straight for his services in ten
round bout at New York, with 81 per
cent of the moving picture rights.
But Tom Jones, Wizards man.
ager, is dissatisfied with the offer, be-
cause it mentions nothing about the
right to take a percentage of the
gate receipts.
The idea of fighter being dissatis-
fed with $4,000 for ten rounds work
is ridiculous. Willard isn't worth
that much money, and neither is any
other fighter. Even the real cham
pions of former days we're not worth
it, and history tells how far they
came from such offers.
Willard should fight soon or he
won't be worth very much at the box
office. He is getting his advertising
now on the strength of one fight |
against black man who was near
ing the age when fighters are |
through.
The proposed battle between Jack |
Dillon and Frank Moran, which |
sounds like real fight, may not
come to Milwaukee. Dillon is will |
ing, but Moran is tied up to New |
York contract, which he may be I'M
able to break. Moran, while waiting
for Willard to make up his mind to |
fight, must stand idle.

BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

Last night in Ned York Dillon put
Tom Cowler away in two rounds.
Dillon caught his heavier opponent
with a right swing and started him
for oblivion. Jim Corbett's protege
tried to rally, but another right con-
nected with his jaw and he went out
as cold as any man has been knocked
in months. There was no need for
count and Cowler's seconds worked
two minutes before he recovered.
This victory made new friends for
Dillon, who is now recognized as the
toughest man of his weight since

Education in Russia.

A significant pronouncement has just
been made by the Russian minister of
education, Count Ignatiev, before the
congress on professional education. The
cabinet minister declared that culture
and progress depends in large meas
ure upon thorough technical education.
lie urged the extension of technical
faculties iii the various universities as
well as the establishment of technical
schools throughout the empire. He pro-
posed to enlarge accordingly the facul-
ties of the universities in Perm and
Rostov-on-Don. He pointed out that
among the urgent needs of the empire
there was a great demand for trained
doctors, pharmacists and veterinaries.
Although the minister laid great stress
on the value of technical education as
contrasted with classicism, he insisted
that thorough elementary education
came before all, and that such is the
policy of the ministry of education.

A woman who has time to play
