WILLARD AND DILLON TO BOX
 FOR BIG PURSE

New York, Feb. Slack Dillon, the Indianapolis light heavyweight terror, who knocked out big Tom Cowler with punch in Brooklyn Tuesday nj ight,e will have the honor of making the first attempt to snatch the worlds s championship heavyweight crown from the brow of Jess Willard, con queror of Jack Johnson.
 This comparative pygmy, who car -ries a punch of pile driving force in either hand, was matched yesterday morning at Jack Curley's offices in the Fitzgerald building to try conclu- sions with the biggest champion the prize ring ever developed. In many respects it will be the most remarka- bIe match that, has been decided un- der the Marquis Queensbury rules.
 The battle is to be fought in Greater New York some time be- i tween April l and April 22 next. The fact that. it is to be held in this city precIudes the possibility of a referees decision unless the State Athletic Commission revises it's code of rules in this one particular.
 Unless one contestant should score knockdown the exhibition could neither damage nor better the record of either In spite of this apparent Handicap the purse is to he the richest ever offered for d limited bout and second only to the purse for which Jim Jeffrfes and Jack Johnson -battled in Reno, Nev.
 Willard is to receive $32, 500 win! lose or draw. Dillon is guaranteed k$10,eO0 as his share, with an option of IS per cent. of the total receipts after the state tax has been deducted Jack Johnson was $35, ,O00 richer after los ing his battle to Willard. Five thou sand of this sum represented travel ing and training expenses. He had to go to Cuba from F'ranceA There was mo g1arantee for a. losers end in that fight. Willard simply gambled- on his future in case of success.
 The difference in size and weight of Willard and Dillon is the most strik- ing in modern times. Willard stands 6 feet ' inches and weighs, in condi- ton, 230 pOunds or more. Dil1On'S height is only 5 feet & inches and he weighs but ITO pounds in ring cos tumes
