Billy Miske Able to Make

LITTLE TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN THE PAIR
RY LACK XEIOCK.


JEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Jack Dillon
N has met lad the equal OF his
= mettIe in Billy BIiske. The first
boxer Dillon ever faced VINO proved
himself capable of standing up and ex-
changing wallOp for walIop with the
Hoosier bearcat was Bat Levinsky. The
Battler. like AIiske, is tail and shifty.
He can hit and he viii mix it in close
quarters. Miske is just as tough for
Dillon as LevinslSy ever was and over
the ten round route there is really
nothing to choose between the two
It is the belief of the writer that
any time two husky. willing scrap
pers are standing toe 10 toe, appear
strong on their feet and are mixing it
like couple of wildcats at the bell
which brings their battle TO an end. a
draw is the fairest decision that can
be rendered.
We do not mean by this that the
showing of two boys In the last
round Influences our opinion. but
rule a strong finish by two
fighters who have been hnmmerinE
each other all the way indicates
that one has little or nothing on the
other. regardless Of a few more
points to the credit Of either man.
We have seen Jack Dillon and Billy
Miske in both Of their battles in
Brooklyn. And it is our belief that
neither win be able to score a decisive
victory over the ten round route Miske
is the best at long range. and Dillon
the master in close quarters. MislSe
scores coming into close quarters Dill
Ion scores with Just as much effect at
close range.
In their second battle at the Broad
way Sporting club both lads landed
some terrific punches. Oh. boy. how
they can hit
Miske's long pile drivers were
plunged into billions midriff and
to his head many times. DiIIOn's
shorter shots found the Miske jaw
and stomach with rapid fire precf-
sion every time they came together.
Mfske's height gives him n slight
advantage In rOuEhinE IL Mt times,
but when stung Dillon tx without
doubt the toughest customer We
have ever seen
It would be a treat worth going
miles to see should these two lads be
matched over the long route In 20
rounds they would do more fighting
than any other pair OF battlers in the
business. and there IS not a doubt that
such a battle woulI be a desperate one
from start TO finish The long route
IS the only way 10 settle the supremacy
between them

MUCH COTTON WILL BE
IN MAKING CLOTHES

ATLANTA, Jan 16-Cotton will be
used more extensively than ever be-
fore in the manufacture of mems
clothing this summer, according to
local tailors and clothiers, who de-
clare they will sell the new fabrics
without any claim that they are call
wool,a yard wide, etc" but will hand
them straight to their customers as
all cotton or part cotton compositions.
1t speaks well for the south, the
clothiers say. that cotton ia taking
the place Of wool so extensively in
mems attire, and the use of the south's
iIeecy staple will not be confined hv
any means summer fabrics, but will
play very important part in the man
ufa cture of fabrics for winter wear.
SO long as the worlds supply Of
cotton is short, and so long as the
European war causes a scarcity of.
wool there is every reason for cot
ton to continue to sell at unpreeedent-
ed prices.

WILL TRY To PASS
A BONE DRYLAW
EFFoRT WILL BE MADE TO PASS
BILL AT NEXT SESSION OF
THE LEGISLATURE.

ATLANTA, Jan l6.-That prohibi-
passage of bone dry law at the
next session for the purpose of secur
ing early action on such measure.
While the governor is an ardent
prOhibitionist., having made possible
the enactment of the present drastic
laws by including prohibition in his
call for the famous extra session of
1915 when they were passed, he will
not consider calling an extra session
to pass bone dry" law.
As the result of the United States
supreme courts recent decision up
holding the validity of the Webb
Kenyon act of congress, it is legal for
state legislature to pass an act pro
hibiting absolutely the importation of
any whiskey, wine or beer into the
bounds of state Georgia's prohibit
tion law limits the quantity to two
quarts of whiskey. four quarts of wine
and forty-eight pints of beer within a
period OF thirty DAYS. although an in

to say that if he imports two quarts
Of whiskey he cannot irlport any wine
or beer, etc.
This limit was placed in the Gcor-
gia law because the exact limit of n
state's'authority has not been deiiped
when the law was passed, but the
supreme courts decision now makes
ii possible to prohibit the,importation
absolutely.
That there will be a lively prohibit
ton fight in the Legislature, probably
the hardest fought in the history Of
the state, is regarded as certain. The
prChibitionists. backing N. +. 'Cul-
pepper of Meriwether as candidate
for speaker, will undertake to control
the organization of the house, and of
course the antis will fight to retain
their hold on the organization. which
they have ALWAYS controlled in the
past because the prohibitionists could
