minor league masters over the dis

MISKE TO TAKE
ANOTHER CHANCE
AT JACK DILLON

For the third time Billy Miske. the in
dustrious light heavyweight Of 81. Paul,
will meet Jack Dillon tonight at the
Broadway Sporting Club. Miske has
twice outpointed Dillon. Should he re
peat tonight he will be fully entitled
TO call himself the best man in his
class Liberal minded folk are in
clined to belieye that the privilege is
already his
Ernest Cutler Price As Dillon is
known in private life behind his own
bar at indianapolis. Ind. insists that
the verdict be withheld until after to-
nights encounter. Mr.. Price main
tains that he underestimated Miske in
previous encounters. but that tonight
he will be eft TO put up the battle
of his career" and all that sort OF
thing.
Admirers of Miske are rather ner-
vous because of his industry Last
Friday night he fought a ten-rouud
battle with Charlie Weinert and went
through more motion than the aver
age boxer would use in years time. On
the theory that the best training for
a boxer is boxing. he is hopping right
back into the ring tonight with the
toughest OF all the mechanics in his
class.
II Miske should be outpointed to-
night. his slibi has been written In ad-
vance not by himself but by his adj
mirers. If Dillon should lose. he will
have much more time for the peace
and privacy of his lndianapolis cafe.

UNION TEAMS To BAR
GRADUATE SCHOOL MEN

Schenectady, y. y. Jan. 1.-THE un-
dergrsdustes of Union College took a
forward step in athletic reform and
declared their independence in sports
az college meeting here to-day by
adopting a resolution divorcing them
selves in football, baseball and other
varsity sports from the Albany Law
School and other graduate schools
which make up Union University.
Hereafter the varsity teams Of Union
College will be confined strictly TO
Union College men. This closes the
door TO the oft unfounded charge Of
using Fingers and closes the door,
too, to one chance for proselyting the
greatest Of all college athletic evils
