Washburn, a member of the Executive Committee of the Na- tional Lawn Tennis Association, is outspokenly against any criticlem of professionals occasioned by the newly proposed amatour rule. He feels that ® grave injustice has been done by those who look at the matter from the professional angle. “The professional has his place in every sport as well as lawn tennis, No one has anything to say against them. They compat favorgoiy with amateurs as good sportemen,” declares Washburn. “The reason for drawing @ line be- tween the amateur and profession does not depend in the slightest 4 gree upon respective personal char- acteristica. The reason for the es- they tament of a rule is a purely prac- one. t iA obviously, unfair to expect a man who plays tennis in his spare moments to compete with one who makes it his life work. This reason pelics even more strongly to « crack hired by a porting woods house than to an ordinary professional instructor.

By Vincent Treanor. ACK DILLON has gone back, or J else he was under wraps last night at the Broadway Sporting Club in his bout with Billy Miske. Under a pull or otherwise, he was beaten, and beaten soundly. He wasn't anything like a “man killer.” Dillon fought only in spots. At times he showed a flash of viciousne: that earned him the man killing and bear cat reputation, but he was al- ways the first to recede from a busi- ness-like exchange. There w little “class to the mix-up. Feints and side-steps were few and far between, and of eclence there was little. It was a case of slam away for gen- eral results, If Misko has a knockout punch in his system, it didn't show, or else Dilon's power of resistance offset it. He bit Jack on the jaw @ dozen times without any visible effect. Miske has a habit of throwing his punches in a bothersome way, with- out any apparent snap or sting to them. He wasn't as spectacular as he was against Charley Wienert last | Friday night. In the first round Dillon started In Baseball Briefs ‘The joint schedule committee meet- ing of the National and Leagues finished its task at the Re- publican Club yesterday, No announce- ment was made other than that the major league season will open on Wednesday, April 11, No further in- formation will be given on the schedule until the schedule meetings of the major leagues in this city next month.

The referee had to work like a long- shoreman to part them. It looked like a short and sweet affair. Miske weathered the gule miraculously, and when the bell sounded went to his corner in fairly good shape. The re- cuperative powers of this young man are remarkable. After the opening session Dillon seemed to have shot his bolt. He began falling into clinches without landing a blow, depending on wrest- ling loose an arm at close quarters for a slash at the stomach or an over~ Hand wallop at the jaw, Once when Miske spun bim with a rigat book to the Jaw ne fought back furiously for about thirty seconds, only to stop and go back to his clinching style, At this stage the bout looked like “one of those things.” Miske staggered Dillon in the third | during a rapid exchange of rights and |lefts, and Dillon was the one to stop | the give-and-take slugging which fol» | lowed. It was evident from this point on that Dillon was depending on one punch to win for him, but Miske took |what he had, stood up under it and | fought back chock full of confidence. In the fourth round, while breaking away from an exchange at close quarters, Dillon overbalanced him- |self and fell, but was on his feet right away. Just before the bell in | this round Dillon didn't seem to have {his mind on the job, but a strat right on the jaw woke him up. Again he fought back like the so-called bear cat for a few seconds, As the bout wore on, it looked a case of a good three-year-old at the top of his form beating a good handl- ap horse which was failing off, Miske being the — three-year-old. Dillon began swinging wildly, and once in the fifth round nearly fell, missing @ left and right swing in suc- cession Miske appeared able to do almost anything with Dillon now. Once in the seventh round he pinned Dillon's left hand to his own waist line and swung Jack around in a circle after jthe manner of some of the freak dancers we see at cabarets, mean- while belting him along with his right. Dillon's feet were almost off the ground as Miske pirouetted with his opponent at arms’ length, Dillon was vicious only at intervals in the eighth, but in the ninth he tried to make it interesting through- out. He mixed it with Miske in slambang fashion, but came out sec- ond best. In his anxlety to put over a winning wallop, he missed badly, and toward the end of the round was sent reeling back from the centre of | the ring by Miske's well directed right to the jaw. The tenth round was ively enough to keep the crowd on its toes, but, like the others, it. was Miske's, A seore by innings of the affair would give Dillon the first round and all the rest to Miske. The biggest crowd that ever saw a fight In Brooklyn turned out for this bout, As early as 8 o'clock there was line at the box office two blocks long, and at 9 o'clock the club house was jammed to all four walls. {Shortly after that hundreds with tickets found it impossible to get | through the entrance: Seal Brooks and Connelly Box Draw, BOSTON, Jan, 17.—-Terry Brooks and Joey Connelly, two of the keenest rivals in this section, went twelve rounds to a draw last night at the Armory, It was agreed that if both men were on their feet at the end of the twelve rounds that would be the verdict, as Connelly did not weigh in and apparently had fifteen pounds’ advantag ach. i sc Toohey Outpoints Simpson, Tommy Toukey, the Paterson whirl- wind, outpointhd Charley Simpson, the clever Austraiiagn featherweight, in ten fast unde atl oneer 8.

MILWAUKED, Jan. 17.—Ritchie Mitchell nearly broke both wrists last night trying to push them through Freddie Welsh's gloves in ten rounds of unsatisfactory milling, but he gave the champion such a beating that every newspaper critic at the fight gave Mitchell the credit for a well- earned victory. Welsh covered throughout the bat- | tle, fighting entirely on the defensive. | With both mitts against his cheeks, Mitchell could not penetrate his de- fense. Welsh did not lead a dozen times in the ten rounds, and only landed four blows, He did some light tapping, but the fight was the poorest exhibition seen here for years. In the sixth round, the State com- mission ordered Welsh to fight, and after the battle Referee Houlihan was sharply criticised by the boxing com- missioners for having allowed Welsh to get any part of the purs The referee has the right to forbid pay- ment to a boxer who does not pox, but Houllhan did not take this radical step as the commissioners thought he should have done. After the fight Mitchell's wrists both began to swell and he fears he may not be able to fight Kilbane in Cleve- land in two weeks. He will not can- cel, however, for a couple of days un- ul he is sure his wrists will not come back into proper shape. —_~— Princeton's hockey team will go up to New Haven to-night to try and get square with the Bulldog for the tug it took at the Tiger tail Saturday night, and then take advantage of two night hard practice In anticipation of the match with Harvard at St. Nicholas Rink this Saturday evening, The Tiger team, which proved the effectiveness of the changes in its lne-up in its clash ‘ale, and which was credited with having outplayed the Bulldog seven in every way except at goal, has at last found itself, according to Coach Paton, To-night’s game at St. Nicholas Rink will be between the teams of St. Nich- olas and the Hockey Club, m pu it ri runs, who was reported last week to be critically ill and on the verge of pneumonia, is on the high road to re- covery, according to advices received from Lawson Robertson, coach of the University of Pennsylvania track team, it w George Spear continued his unbroken Mne of victories in the national Class C 18.2 balk-line championship tournament under the direction of the National sociation of Amateur Billiard Players, yesterday, On the table in Maurice Daly's academy the former trotting circuit driver so deftly controlled the ivory balls as to defeat Irving I, Lewino pli and John R.
