"If an enemy were to take possession
of Juneau, for instance, suggested Rep
resentative Kahn of California. ''he would
be within five days sail of the United
States proper"
THAT would be an expeditionary
landing, not a matter for the coast
artillery, but for the mobile army to
deal with" replied Gen. weaver.

GOOD SHOW ON TUESDAY

II ever boxing club gave any indica-

Gently organized Oriole Sporting Club,
which will conduct two shows this week
at oriole Park. On Thursday afternoon
a hfteen-round decision bout between the
man-eating Jack Dillon and Battling Le-
whisky for the light heavyweight cham
pionship will be held and is a match that
on its face appears to be the most i'm
portant boxing contest ever carded to
take place.
Dillon is undoubtedly the most talked
of heavyweight in the ring today and
this does not except the champion, Jess
Willard. Dillon has always been rated
among the best, but when he went in
and virtually toyed with Frank Moran,
who had every natural advantage over
him IN generous quantity, he shot his
stock up many notches - There have been
those who have accused Dillon OF not
always giving his best in short bouts,
they figuring that If Dillon knocked them
all out as quickly as he could, there
would be none left for him to meet This
argument will not hold water Judging
by Dillon's recent work, for the manner
In which he disposed Of Jim Flynn on
July in four sessions was most impress
stve that he is permitting none to go any
farther than he can help.
In stacking up against Levinsky, Dillon
will be meeting a man also among the
best at his weight and who has always
contended that good light heavyweight
can well take care of himself against
any OF them, no matter how large tEey
may be. Dan Morgan is Levinsky's man.
