He had speed and a punch, and when right there were few of the middle- weight “champions” who could travel s gait. He lost to Eddie McGoorty | t New Orleans in 1911, and to Frank | Klaus in California the following | year. He fought about every man of rrominence among: the middleweights and was never knocked off his pins. Dillon started his career as a light heavyweight last April by fighting Battling Levinsky at Butte, Mont. | The Hoosler outpointed the Hebrew in twelve rounds. Tt was a good start, as Levinsky had made quite a reputa- tion as a “white hope” destroyer. Since then Dillon has defeated “Young' Weinert, Bob Moha, “Fight- | ing Dick'” Gilbert angd several other heavies and light heavies, and fought a draw with Young Ahearn, who has adopt famous Lorse stes in st of them Ncrman Selt was that of The hold, bad contender weight champion. | Dikon is not popular with the fans as he might be, owing to the | suspicion that he does not always do kis best. He has often been accused stalling, and in a bout with george “K. O.” Brown at St. Louis last year | the referee stopped the bout and the club officials raised a big rookus, as- serting that Jack had tried to hippo- drome. This peeved Jack, and he de- | clared he would never-—no, never!— fight in St. Louis again, As a rule however, Jack gives the bugs a run for their mcney. Boxers are human, | all reports to the contrary notwith- standing, and all humans have their off days. And you've got to admit that Jack has never dodged anybody. Dillon’s speed is phenomenal, con- sidering that his first job was as a messenger boy in Indianapolis. Maybe his of the name of a famous race horse was sufficient to overcome As a “glant killer,” Dillon looks like one of the most prominent candidates for the job long held by Jim Flynn, the fireman, the coming heay as choice Announcement. !
