GUNNER SMITH
TO GET DILLON
New York Heavyweight to
Take Giant Killer on over
Long Course.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Gunboat Smith,
the New York heavyweight, and
Jack Dillon, the giant killer" are
to have another tussle In the ring,
but this time it will be over the mar
athon route. Dominick Tortorich, the
New Orleans promoter, has matched
them for February Z at his new
arena, Smith having been obtained
after Battling Levinsky had turned
condition for distance Of that kind.
Is Considering Weight.
Dillon will be giving away weight,
but it will make little difference to
the Hoosier, or rather it should
make no difference, as Jack fought
the Gunboat man off his feet in Mil
waukee.. March 16, 1915, in ten
rounds.
At that time Dillon scaled about
164 and Smith around 1874, but the
extra poundage did the gunner no
him from beginning to end, and
made q fine showing.
A Trial Bout.
Anotner thing to be considered is
whether Dillon will be in as flne con-
dltion as when he faced Smith in
milwaukee,. Jack has not been in
good shape for some time, due to
having gone stale. but with proper
resi- and careful training he may
come along all right again.
The. bout will serve to show Du.
ION whether or not he can get into
shape Tor twenty-round set-to with
Darcy. "'
IN the form he has displayed re-
Ien'ly zen rev promoters would pick Dill
ION as drawing card against the
australian, but a good fight against
sna smitn. who Is tough in spite Of his

BASEBALL STARS
ARE SATISFIED
Men who are Getting Good
Salaries are not Support
ers of Fraternities.

New York, Feb. Tt hasn't been
through any action on the part Of the
baseball athletes who haul down a
yearly stipend Of $4,000 or more that
the Baseball Players Fraternity Is up
on its shell-like ear.
Don't think for a minute that the
Cobbs. Collinses, Speakers and John
sons Of baseball have any hankering
to loaf around the family hearth while
the weather is balnly and the tenn
perature just right for converting two
not for minute!
But some Of them Joined the players
fraternity IN 1912, when 1t was organ
lied. and if you'll remember, 1912
marked the crest of the baseball busi-
ness and also the beginning of discon-
tent among the players.
Well, some of these stars, as we've
just piped, Joined up with Dave Fultz
and have just hung on ever since.
They don't want to have any trouble
with the club owners, but they don't
want to get in bad with their fellow
members, and SO they are waiting to
see which way the cat is going to
jump before they take a decided step
one way or the other.
They all hope there will not be a
strike-that is. the players who get the
big dough. But the common garden
variety of player-the one who isn't
classed as a scintillator-is the one
who wants to see the trouble reach
such stage that the magnates will
have to come through" These play
ers see the handwriting on the wall,
for many Of them got more money
than they could ever have command
ed In baseball through the Federal
league, and now that the Federal
league is dead as doornail and war
ume contracts are running out the
player who has himself slated for a
cut in salary wants to yelp. He'll get
the cut, all right. He must know it
or he wouldn't be hollering before he
is hurt
When one lamps the fat salaries
that are paid to some Of our very best
little performers 1t suggests the
thought that the life Of the diamond
Is certainly gay and soft one. Look
over a few Of the brilliantine boys and
nave think for yourself. In the
american league we have Cobb, $20,-
IVY; Speaker. $4,000; Walt johnson,
$4,000; Eddie Collins. $4,000: Joe
Jackson. $4,000: Schalk, $1,000:
Baker, 50. 500: Magee. $4,000; Peck
,npaugh, $1,000; Barry, $500 with a
Doost this year as manager): Sisler,
so:o9o, and so on. The highest sal
aired men in the National league are:
Dauoert: $1,000; Evers, $4,000;
haum, \ $1,000; Herzog, $4,000; Doyle,
$1,000; Groh, $500: Wakner $50, So,
900; Maranville. $500.
You can't blame these fellows for
hating the thought of a strike. can
you? Noi

Fred Fulton Took
Valuable Lesson
in Early Lesson

New York, Feb. big Fred Full
ton. the mountainous ma n killer from
Minnesota, was disqualified in one of
MS early ring contests, and he learned
a lesson that taught him to take his
time In going after an opponent in
the squared circle.
1t was back in 1914, when Fulton
was new to the game. He was match
ea &c, 10 meet a second rater in Hudson,
WIS, and although he had not been
hehtlng long, he was confident that he
would win by Knockout. Fulton had
an agreement with the promoter
whereby he was to get $3.50 IL he won
ana $3.50 If he lost. Some of his
friends bet wad of dough that he
would knock his man out, and Fred
erlck was SO confident that he. bet
400 the same way.
When they got into the ring it be-
came evident to Fulton that his Oh.
ponent was in there for the purpose of
sucking 1t out. and he tried his best
to put the finishing touches to the az
fair in hurry.
For four rounds Fulton was unable
70 bring his opponent out of cover.
But in the fifth he caught on with a
leit to the Jaw and down went the
other fellow with a crash. A. the
count OF eight he started to get to his
ieet and Fulton, dancing around he
nlnd the referee. started a right from

TOMMY GIBBONS
DEFEATS M0HA
St. Paul Middleweight Is
Given Decision Over
Milwaukee Lad.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 6.-Tommy
Gibbons st. Paul middleweight, out
boxed Bob Moha, Milwaukee, here to-
night in ten-round contest that bris-
tied with action. Gibbons had the ad-
vantage in five rounds. while Moha
took three, and two were even, the
majority of the sporting writer's
agreed.
In the eighth round Moha punished
Gibbons severely with rights and
lefts to the body. following up with a
right hook to the jaw that appeared
to put Gibbons on the verge of being
knocked out. Gibbons glove burst
during the milling, and a wait en-
sued between rounds.
Gibbons turned the tables in the
ninth when, after a minute of furious
milling. he rocked Moha with right
to the jaw, but was unable to land a
knockout. The tenth round found
Moha still dazed and Gibbons inflict-
Ing more punishment, closing Moha's
left eye.

DARCY READY
FOR THE ring
Through With Stage This
Week-Wants Gibbons
For 20 Rounds.

Chicago, Feb. les Darcy. Aus
tralian actor-boxer, showed his wares.
stage and mitt. before Chicago's ring
critic at a West Side theater yester-
day, where he opened a weeks en-
gagement in an athletic act" with
Freddie Gilmore assisting.
Early in the day 1t was thought
that the boxing part of the sketch
would have to be cut out under or
ders from police headquarters, but
after Gilmore took Darcy to Chief
Schuettler's Office and explained that
his mitt work came under the head
ling Of exhibitions, permission was
given the Australian to show his fight
ing front in three rounds OF scrap
ping. with Gilmore as his opponent.
For this Darcy gets $2,500 a week,
it is said.
Ready for Action.
Answering critics who are censur-
ing him for not fighting. but trying
to make a fortune on the stage. be-
cause Of his antipodes reputation.
Darcy insists that he was doing only
what his advisers thought best. but
that he is now ready for ring action.
Just as soon as finish my Chi
cago engagement Saturday night I am
and start training for my contest
with AL Mccoy" said Darcy. Be
fore I left my representatives were
working on this bout. and from what
1 can learn everything has been ar.
ranged now except the date"
Darcy needs very little training to
put him in shape for a ten-round
contest, the first of his career, for
his stage work has kept him around
his regular right weight. Right now
he weighs only 1874, and carries very
little fat. srff
The Australian realizes that the
Americans he has met are far from
being the best gloye wielders on this
side. The ten-roGnd game is some
thing new to him. a good reason for
picking AL Mccoy as a starter. The
Brooklyn conqueror of George Chip
is of the. rough-and-ready type that
ought to be made to order for Darcy.
Mccoy. never has been knocked out
and Les thinks he can turn the trick.
After that he will tackle tougher
game over the short route. although
he prefers to meet Mike Gibbons in
a twenty-round title. knowing that
Mike is past master Of the short dis
tance.
