DILLON AND WILSON
ARE in SAME BOAT

York may mean the end of his ap-
pearance in long rings. Since he
fought Billy Miske off his feet
here and then found New York
newspapers, with few exceptions,
giving the edge to the st. Paul
boxer, he has been depressed.
He tried to wipe it out by
battling Miske again but the same
thing resulted. Then he tackled
AL Mccoy, and although he
slammed AL all over the ring at
the Broadway Sporting club, he
had the misfortune to again be-
come the subject of gibes by the
New York scribes.
1t cut deep into Dillon. He
couldn't stand 1t, so he went back
to the more gentle methods of In
dianapolis scribes.

O. Henry Story
Now In Movies

Fiction lovers will be glad to
learn that all exterior scenes in
past One at Rooney's," first OF
the great series of o. Henry
stories to be distributed by
General Film company for the
Vitagraph were made in the
New York tenderloin district.
Another interesting feature of
this first picture will be the sub
titles of the various scenes. They
are all to be in the exact words
of the story, which will aid in re-
calling the o. Henry atmosphere.
When o. Henry first came to New
York he said, II do not care about
the four hundred'--it is the -four
million that interests me. Past
One at Rooney's" is a story of the
-Four Million" drawn from the
great mine OF romance that exists
in lower New York.
The plot deals with the love of
a gangster and a woman of the
streets.

JOE M'GINNITY is
STRONG FOR PEACE

SPOKANE, March 5.-Joe Nc
Ginnity of Butte, the man who has
started more trouble in the North
western league during the past
three years than all the rest of the
league combined, is preserving
peace at the present meeting of di-
rectors.
The reason is that McGinnity
had sense enough to stay away
from the meeting and let w. H.
Davey, one Of the Butte directors,
represent the club.
If Joe had appeared, there
would have been one grand fight,
according to the opinion of all the
directors. So by staying away, the
Iron Man is doing charitable
pacifist stunt.

Although the day was excep-

the opening contest of the Tacoma

Championship Battle
Attracts Interest

Tacoma has not seen a cham
pionship ring battle IN many years.
But Wednesday night will bring
. real fight for the title of the
Pacific coast. frankie Sullivan,
clever Los Angeles boxer. will
make a desperate attempt to take
the coast lightweight crown from
the brow OF Lloyd Madden, Seat
ties pride.
The two boys have never met
before. And although Sullivan
could not defeat Muff Bronson, he
will have better chance with
Madden, who captured Bronson's
title, because Madden will give
him more opportunity for open
fighting.
Sullivan is aggressive and dar-
ing. Madden boxes with all the
stolidness and determination of an
OK, but with occasional bull-like
flashes of speed and ruthless
charges that usually win his bat
ties for him.

Ray Leftwich is apparently the
best posted ball man in Tacoma.
He was the lucky chap to win
that season pass to the ball
park. After he has explained
to fans how the play was pos
sible, everybody says it was easy
enough. A few seasons ago he
was one of the bright shining
stars in semi-pro ball.
Paul Dahl had his gang of leaguers
out for practice yesterday and
injected the first shot of ginger.
The shot" will be followed by
many more of the same kind.
Each time he will increase the
amount injected, he says.
Two games will be the attraction
at the Shaw-Soule bowling al
leys tonight. In the City league
the Ray Day Indians meet the
Burnside Hatters. In the Com
mercial league the Smelter
meets the p. o. quintet.
Leigh Neff, who has always been
considered an authority on ad-
vanced ideas in ladies' wearing
apparel, says that the ladies'
hats this season will carry an
effect of artistic simplicity.
