Decision for Miske. When* Dillon came to New York not a long time ago billy Miske battled him for ten rounds and did a fairly good job of it. Dillon scored heavily against the St. Paul false alarm, but he was much surprised the next day to discover that nearly every news- paper in the city had come to the con- clusion that Miske had beaten him, Then Jack came back to New York and-m@t Miske again. He didn’t make quite so’ good a showing, but he did well and easily he! iske to a draw.) However the-criti gain set it down as a victory for Miske. «Then Jack Got Mad. Then Dillon got mad» He came to the conclusion that “his! former roughness had got him in bad. He had made such a it of beating up s that critics were unable ide of the bout when he failed to knock somebod own a few times when he appeared in a ring. So he got himself matched up with Al McCoy as a prelude to his baitling Darcy. He whipped McCoy so bad it was.a shame, but he was incensed when he awakened the next morn- ing and found himself criticised for not knocking McCoy out. In fact, two rounds of the scrap were cred- ited to McCoy by more than one. Took Many a Beating. McCoy took a beating that many a heavyweight would have fallen un- der. He was hit plenty of times and he was hit hard. He deserved full credit for winning the bout just as far as he did, but he didn’t get it. Dil- lon says he won't fight again in New York. ‘No one can censure him for such a decision. He was rapidly los- ing his reputation when he decided to go hack to Indiana. WOOD FIRST TO LEAVE DETROIT BASEBALL CLUB March 16.—John T. Wood, a pitcher, was first of the Detroit baseball club’s recruits to leave the training camp. His arm, overworked last season, was in such poor shape that even practice was dangerous and he went to Ohio to consult a specialist. Wood starred last season with the Portsmouth, Va., club of the Virginia league. Toward the end of the seas-{ on when the pennant race was red) hot, Wood was used continually and | his arm paid the penalty. Waxachee, T mond, if po: 1 AGAIN IN NEW YORK |. For iv?

FABIAN CALLED ‘‘EDISON OF BASEBALL’ Invention of the “turtle back” invweid has caused Henty Fabian, the groundkeeper for the New York Giants, to be called the “Edison of Base ball.” The turtle back infield is one where the piteher’s box is higher than the base lines, allcwing water to drain off. All.major and high class minor leagues use it. Fabian was a ballplayer. A few years ago he was working in a store at Dallas, Texas, when thé owner of the Dallas club, having trouble building a new diamond, asked for help, Fabian laid out the field so well he was signed by the St. Louis Americans, then grabbed by the Giants. He is now in charge of the Polo Grounds, called the finest. baseball plant in the country. Fabian has directed the laying out of many diamonds, including the new one at Havana, Cuba. & Speaking of Sport other night. There's still a chance in the ring for John L.
