JACK DILLON HAS NO DESIRE TO MEET
JESS WILLARD IN CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT

I lawyer might talk of case he had
little hope of winning, but which he
felt he would have to take. Dillon is
not afraid of Willard. If those eyes of
his tell the truth, he is afraid of moth
ing on earth in the shape of a man. If
some promoter were to offer a suffi
GENTLY fabulous sum to make Dillon
feel that he would be justified in sacri-
ficing himself in a long bout with Will
lard. it is everything against nothing
that he would be fghting as hard and
as well as he knew how right from the
first clang of the gong. He probably
would be standing against the inevita-
BILE. and know it. but would keep fight
ing just the same
Many Washington people who went
to Baltimore to see him thought that
Dillon was not as good as he was
rated. and they were justified in view
of the poor showing he made against
Levinski. That showing was not a true
criterion of the capabilities of Frank
Morans conquerer. Dillon was stale, so
stale that he could not fight when he
wanted too. Several thought he was
stalling. but he could not have stalled
that much had he SO desired Dillon
did not hesitate after that fight in
saying that he had been outpbinted,
and he admitted that he made a mis-
take in agreeing to the bout at all,
especially as he realized that he was
in need of a rest.
Worked Hard for Moran Fight.
Il worked hard for that fight with
Moran" said Dillon. land it took a
whole lot of energy out of me. Then
that long jump to Oklahoma within
four days for another bout just about
finished me for a while. l was out
pointed today. but I could not help it
l tried my best to fight at times but
just couldn't. I need a good rest and

l can see where I made a mistake in
coming here to fight at all"
Dillons career in the ring as top
notcher may be much shorter than that
of the average of the very best men.
because he is fighting under entirely
different conditions. He is compelled to
get in shape to meet men from twenty
to thirty-five or forty pounds heavier
and even If he wins such bouts they
draw heavily on his store of vitality. A
man, no matter who he is, can stand
only SO much before the strain begins
to tell on his heart and lungs: those
organs begin to weaken, not enough to
affect his health, but more than enough
to keep him from having that pow er
of recuperation which is necessary to
! bring back the strength and energy in
one minute, the time of rest between
rounds. billions fighting against the
bigger men must be done mostly close
which is much more wearing on the
smaller man than if he could stand
| away Fitzsimmons was light 1t is
true, but he had the reach which en-
abled him to keep away and lab and
jab until he found an opening to suit
himself. But whether Dillon lasts long
Or not when he leaves the ring one OF
the greatest fighters of the decade will
have passed.

aTHEY ASK VOTERS TO
RENOMINATE HIM

Headed by J. Z. Chberg of the Scandinavian.
American bank, former president of the Chamber Of
Commerce, s. men, representing the business profes
Nona and labor element of the city today Joined in
remarkable public statement urging Seattle and the state
to rally behind United States Sen. Miles pondexter
Never before in the history of political events OF
this city state has such unanmity been manifested
among the various elements as toward the candidacy
of Poindexter.
Most OF the sgnerS in this list opposed TO
Poindexer when he ran six years ago against Judge
Burke.
Among the signers two former mayors and
four of the present councimen. Members and officers
~ both the Commercial Club and the Chamber OF Com
merce are in the list
- The appeal for Poindexter support is based upon
neral and special grounds.
The general reasons are that SEN Pondexter 'has
been and is senator for all the people and for every
0rt of the state" and has faithfully at all times rep
resented the best sentiments and highest ideals OF his
constituents"
The specific reasons for supporting Pondexter are ::
"He abored earnestly and voted for protective
tariff on lumber and shingles"
"To his efforts and influence are due the passage
of the Puget Sound navy yard BILL"
'To him than to any other representative
in either house OF congress is due the credit for the
enactment of the Alaska Railroad bill"
