away, then Dillon hooked left and right
to the face. Round even.
Fifth Round-Dillon sent a left and
right TO head and Frank stood of, trying
to get his right over. Jack, however,
never let him set, and kept boring In,
trying for the body. Frank blocked most
OF his blows. In cIinch Moran sent his
right to body, but Jack threw him OF
and started to mix il UP in the center OF
the ring. The men exchanged blow for
blow. Moran came out of the rally with
the claret flowing freely from his nose
and Dillon hooked a left and right to the
Jaw. Moran grinned. but Jack swung
both right and left to the jaw as the
bell sounded. DiIlon's round.
Sixth Round-Dillon sent three vicious
uppercuts to Moran's mouth and ripped
two hard rights to the head. Moran again
grinned. but Dillon sent a. solid right to
the body and stuck two lefts into Frank
mouth. Moran was too careless, and
missed thre rights for the head. Dillon
put three lefts to the face, and followed
with right to the wind. Moran sent a
left to Dillon's head at the bell. Dillon s
round.
Seventh Round-Morans seconds told
him to get down to business Dillon came
up strong and put a left to the face. fol
lowed with four more to the same spot.
Moran was wild with two rights and they
clinched. Moran sent left to face. Dill
lon at close range sent six right upper
cuts to Moran's mouth. Moran. for the
first time, became nettled and tore in
after Jack. Moran missed four rish,
swings, while Dillon uppercut five short
rights to the mouth. 1t was Dillon
round.
Eighth Round-Moran clinched and Dill
lon sent left to face. Moran bored in
with his head down, swinging rights, but
JACK got inside of them. Moran sent a
light left to the body and Jack soaked
a right to the head Dillon put a left to
the face, but Moran caught him on the
jaw with a nice right Frank crowded
Dillon to the ropes, putting a left to the
body. Dillon rallied and sent two rights

the body. He forced Moran to the ropes
where Frank clinched after the break.
Dillon sent two rights to the Jaw. Dill

Jack to break ground. Moran missed a
right for the jaw, and Dillon sent two
Iefts to the head. The men were in a
clinch at the bell. Dillon's round
Tenth Round-Moran showed a brjef
flash when he rushed Dillon to the ropes
and peppered him with half a dozen
rights. None of these landed, most OF
them finding the crown of DilIon's bull
feth cad. Before the session ended Jack
more than made up for this slight in
sonvenisnce. He was peppernS Moran's
bruised mouth and discolored eyes when
the final bell rang Moran was SO morti-
fed at his sorry showing that he refused
to shake Dillon's hand at the finish.

Griffmen Poorly Supported
By the Washington Fans

Just as Grifith predicted, the Nationals
started to play real ball when the club
reached home, where morning practice
could be held, as the two victories over
the Boston Red Sox will attest.
The small crowds attending games We'd
nesday and Thursday mean one Of two
things. viz, the fans have either soured
on the team because of the recent dis
astrous Western trip, or else the Mexi-
can war troubles have entirely blotted
out baseball in the Capital.
There were less than two thousand
persons on hand to welcome the Nation
ais home last Wednesday. The crowd
yesterday was only a few hundred more
with the Boston Red Sox as the attrac-
ton.
No wonder out Of town baseball writer's
declare that the Washington franchise
should be transferred to city where the
fans appreciate good baseball, for no
body can say that Grifnth has not
provided the real article since he has
been at the helm.

Shanks and Rippy williams have one
bad fault in common. II an umpire
misses a strike, calling bad one. they

profit thereby.

Little Man" from Indianapolis Proves His Supe-
riority Over Pittsburgh Heavyweight in Spec
tacular Exhibition of Gameness

Brooklyn, n Y, June 2s.-F1ghting
like a young wildcat, Jack Dillon, the
good little man." from Indianapolis,
gave Frank Moran, the good big man"
from Pittsburgh, a sound thrashing at
Washington Park tonight In a ten-round
bout that THRILLED spectators from start
to finish.
Dillon, the giant-killer, gave one of
the most spectacular exhibitions of game
ness seen in New York rings in years.
Moran. thirty-five pounds heavier, and
six and half inches taller, pounded his
smaller adversary without mercy in the
third round after landing that famous
pile-driver right. Dillon was wabbly and
apparently about to be knocked out when
the bell saved him. The brief rest be-
tween rounds meant a difference OF vic
tory and defeat to Dillon.
When the fourth round began he rush.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-30

ed from his corner as in all the preced-
ing ones, and landed hard right to Nor
ans face and overwhelmed the Pitts
burgher on boxing points all the rest of
the way.
Dillon, as compared to his gigantic
foe. looked almost like a lightweight, and
the way he outclassedS Moran in ring ex-
pertness brought reminders of Packy
MacFarland, Joe Cans, and other great
boxers. Moran was so slow and wild in
comparison that Dillon landed fully ten
square punches to every one that con-
nected solidly with him. Moran plainly
depended almost entirely on his stout
right arm. Dillon, knowing this, varied
from his usual fighting position by in
clining his body bit sideways at almost
all times, so that he was out Of range
of the pile-driver.
