KORAN AND DILLON TO MEET
Xo Battle Thunday Right in Old
Brooklyn federal League Ball
Park to Decide Dispute.
BOTH CERTAIN' THEY WILL WIS
BY RINGSIDE.
New York, Tune 24. Frank Moran
and lack Dillon art finally to ex
change greeting! and slams in the
ring. Unless present well laid plans
miscarry these two will settle a moot
ed Question in the open at Wash
ington park (the former home of the
now : deceased Brooklyn Federal
'eague ball club) next Thursday night.
' Here's hoping the best man wins
and that man. to our wav of reason
ing and deduction, is little Jack DiM
Ion. lrue, the Indianapolis pantner
will be outweighed, and out-every.
thing in natural advantages, but his
tiger-like ferocity in the ring, and his
undoubted wallop should carry him
through a winner. While it is unlikely
that Dillon can stop the ponderous
Moran, yet it will be little Jack's
deadly punch that will keep Moran at
bay and permit Dillon to carry off
the verdict.
Moran bases his hopes for victory
on his mighty right hand swing the
swing that did not disturb Jess Wil
lard, although Moran landed it
squarely on the ' "button" a dozen
times during the ten rounds. Kind
readers, can anyone imagine Dillon
landing his right swing on Willard
just where Jack directed it, and the
blow should not cause the champion
tome momenta of anxiety?
Moran Says Six Rounds. .
Moran thinks he can accomplish
Dillon's downfall inside of six
rounds. He bases this assertion on
the fact that is, a fact to Moran him
self that he can deliver a more dam
aging punch with his right than Dillon
can with his starboard paw. Moran,
however, overlooks the fact known
to all that Dillon's left is equally as
deadly as his right, and that Moran's
'eft is brittle, due to . oft-shattered
knuckles. ,
Says Moran: "1 sincerely believe 1
will stop Dillon before the sixth
round is reached. While Jack has a
good punch, my right is somewhat bet
ter than his. Then again, why should
Dillon be considered as a likely win
ner? Who has he ever fought? Yes,
he knocked out big Tom Cowler, who
was only an ordinary fighter."
Therein we beg to differ with Mr.
Moran. Just a superficial glance at
the records of the two men prompts
one to ask the question with reverse
English. "Who has Moran ever
fought?" , ...... , . .
Has Fought Mediocre Pugs.
Aside from Jack Johnson and Jess
Willard, both of whom trounced
Morac so severely that he never had
the courage to seek a return match
with either, Moran has met only medi
ocre heavyweights.
Jim Coffey? Well, the big Irish
lad was beaten before he stepped into
the ring with Moran on each of the
two occasions. Coffey made a brave
meeting, as he nearly knocked out
Moran in the second round.
When Moran refused to atop in
this round, Coffey lost heart and waa
an easy victim in the next round.
Comparisons may be odious, but
as Moran made v the suggestion, we
herewith offer him a list that fur
nishes some food for thought:
About five years ago, when Jim
Savage bore a reputation for being
"yellow," Moran waa knocked out
by the "lion-hearted" Savage, the
bout lasting seven rounds. It was
not until five years later that Savage
auddenly reformed and against Jack
Dillon put up the gamest battle ever
aeen in a New York ring. Savage
was pummelled from pillar to poat
in every one of the ten rounds, but
his fighting instinct alone kept him
on his feet through the ten rounds.
Decision on a Foul 1
Moran belittles Dillon's feat of
knocking out Tom Cowler in two
rounds. Frank points to his show
ing against the same Cowler. ' The
record book credits Moran with a
knockout of Cowler in six rbunds in
1911. As a matter of fact, Moran ob
, tained the decision on a questionable
foul. Cowler was than an unschooled
heavy. When he collided with Dil
lon, last ' January, Cowler was suf
ficiently improved to be under Jim
Corbett's managerial wing, and the
former heavyweight champion earn
estly believed he had the coming con
querer of Jess Willard in tow. Yet
Dillon, . weighing 167. pounds, and
standing 5 feet 7J4 inches, knocked
Cowler, 212 pounds and six-foot three,
flat as a pancake in two rounds.
Frank Moran witnessed this no
table achievement, and it was on this
account he steadfastly refused to
tackle Dillon until public sentiment
forced him into the match.
' Lost to Gunboat Smith. ' "
Late in 1912 Moran lost a twenty
round decision to Gunboat Smith. In
March, 1915, Dillon handed the Gun
ner a severe drubbing in Milwaukee.
The mariner was lucky to last the
limit of ten rounds.
Dillon has also knocked out such
heavyweights as Charley Weinert,
whom Moran refuses to meet, in two
rounds; Andre Anderson in five
rounds; Jack Lester in ten rounds;
Bill McKinnon in three rounds, and
Tony Capon in four rounds. Dillon
has also defeated Battling, Levinaky,
"Porky" Flynn, Fireman Jim Flynn,
lorn McMahon (who bested Wil
lard) and Al Norton.
Comparisons, we repeat, are odious.
Before his unpleasantry with Wil
lard, Moran contended that a good
little man ( himself ) can alwaya at
feat a good big man (Willard). Now
that he is sucked up against little
Dillon, Moran has changed his tune
to the original words of "a good big
man can always beat a good little
in. , ,

Wilbur D'Alene Is a New Comer in
Auto Racing, but He s a Real Demon
Wilbur D'Alene. who is signed to
pilot one of the new Duesenberg jobs
in the Omaha automobile race July
15, is a youngster who is making
practically his first bid for fame this
year, but already this daring youth
is creating ikik among inc speca en
thusiasts and rail birds.
D'Alene is another star produced
in California's hothouse of racing
celebrities. He first started to tool
the steel steeds in the dirt track
races on the coast. Then he hooked
up with the Moross outfit and played
the bush league circuit atl over the
country.
Two years ago he made his start
in the big time at Corona. Mechanical
trouble drove him out of this race.
His next big meet was Elgin the
same year. He made a quick exit in
this race by running head-on into a
tree at the celebrated Hornbeek turn,
which he took a little too fast for
safety. He escaped, however, without
injury.
Last year D'Alene's name was ab
sent from the big league lists, but
this spring he came back again and
he is rapidly making a name for him
self.
He has started in two races this
year, Indianapolis and Chicago. He
finished second to Resta in the former
and at Chicago he hiked home for
seventh money. In the race for Amer
ican Speedway championship D'Alene
ranks third with 510 points. Resta
and Rickenbacher alone lead him.
Wilbur is the representative of
the younger generation of pilots who
are willing to take any chance to ob
tain a temporary advantage. For any
one to start beating it, is like shaking
a red flag in D'Alene's face. Imme
diately, he steps on the throttle and
is off in pursuit. In this wav he often
comes to grief before his time. Some

JONES BROWS MADE TEE CUBS
BY FRANK G. MENKK.
ur . ...
unt great pitcner can make any
fort of a ball club perform miracles,
m joc j inner, wnen ne was ui
town a week or so ago. "The history
of baseball shows that a moundsman
who can win from 60 to 70 ner ri-nt
of his games can lift any ball club
to or near the top of any league.
"Miner Brown was such a man.
His wonderful work back in the old
days was the one big reason for the
success of the old Cub machine." If
we hadn't been possessed of Brown
the chances are we never would have
been in the fight for so many years.
When Brown faded you know what
happened to the Cubs. They no
longer had a star of first magnitude
to depend upon: thev didn't have a
man they could shoot in and be rea
sonably sure at the cutset that the
game was won.
"The reason the Giants of 1914,
1915 and 1916 haven't achieved any
thing remarkable is because they
haven' had a real pitching star. Matty
kept that club in the fia-ht for ten
years and more. He was the main
stay. When he went into the box
the old gang behind him was so con
fident of his powers that they played
behind him with a 'we-can t-lose'
spirit end they rarely did lose with
Matty at work. Whenever McGraw
wanted to win an important game he
called upon Matty. He knew that
Matty could deliver, if any man could.
Can't Win Regularly.
"But now all is chanted. Mattv
isn't the old reliable of other years,
and no one has come to - take his
place. The result is that the Giants,
without a hurjer in whom they have
supreme confidence, aren't winning
with the regularity of yore.
l he Washington team has been a
factor in the American league races
for the.last three or four years. Whvf
The answer, is Walter Johnson. Take
him away from that club and it leaves
little more than a mediocre collection.
But with Johnson in the lineup it's
a different ball club; it's a team that
plays with fire and with a dash; a
dub that plays beyond itself. It
idolizes Johnson, just as the Cubs
Idolized Brown 'and the .Giants Matty
in the old days. And it thinks John
son invincible. Feeling so, it adds at
least 25 per cent to the normal power
of the club.
Grover Alexander. '.,"
"It was Grover Alexander ' who
won the pennant for the Phillies last
season; it is the same Alexander who
is keeping them in the battle this
season. The Phillies, without Alex.
are not imposing looking, they are
not dangerous. But with Alex to bear
the brunt of the fight for them; with
his mighty arm to hold back the
batting assaults of the other clubs,
they are a great ball club. .
"The Cleveland club, on paper, does
not look strong," continued Tinker.
Uut it has a grand pitcher in Mor
ton a chap who is being touted as
a aecond Johnson. He has been
pitching a brand of base ball that
is almost flawless, and this has in
spired the Other players behind him.
They have played with a dash and
speed that is startling and they will
continue to play that way as long
day, however, he says he is going to
show them all, and lead the field
from the starting post to the finish
wire.
D Alene s Duesenberg is a fast car.
one of the fastest there is and Resta,
De Palma. Cooper, et al. are going
to have to travel at a record clip if
they expect to beat Wilbur out of
first money when Fred Wagner gives
the boys the flag at 1 o'clock on July
15. .
as Morton pitches super-human base
ball.
"Look where the Dodgers are this
year. What's the answer? Great all
around playing, yes. That is part of
it. But the real reason is Toff
Pfeffer. The big fellow is whistling
along this year, at an amazing clip.
The Dodgers play their greatest ball
behind him. They have worlds of
confidence in him; they feel he can
not lose. And by winning with Pfef
fer in it gives them a higher notch
in the average column. That in
creases their natural confidence and
makes them strive alt the harder for
the pennant honors.
- Always In the Race.
"A club with a wonder-pitcher nev
er, can be counted out of any race.
At times it may slump and be far
down, but the old confidence never
dies. The players feel that their star
will, in some way, lead them upward
and onward. And . so they never
quit; they keep on fighting all the
time.
"Early in 1914 the Braves were in
the rut but the players had confi
dence in "Big Bill'' James. They fig
ured that he would round into win
ning shape soon and sweep them on
toward the goal. "Big Bill did come
around and when he swung he car
ried Rudolph and Tyler with him.
Instead of having but one star to
depend upon, the Braves had three.
And so they shot up from the cellar
to the top, remained there until the
race was over and then beat the Ath
letics in record time.
Two Pitching Wizards. "
"Connie Mack, during the heyday of
the Athletics' career, had not only
one but two pitching wizards Ben
der and Plank. That pair carried the
bulk of the pitching burden for years,
and the Athletics won quite an assort
ment of pennants and world's cham
pionships. "Back in 1906 the White Sox won
a world's championship, with the
weakest batting club that ever reached
the crest of modern base ball. Their
victory was due to the herculean work
of Ed Walsh, ably assisted by Doc
White and Frank Smith. The latter
pair did great work but Walsh was
the real uplifter. v ' . ' . .,
"And so it, has been all along. . The
team with a star pitcher has been the
team that wins.' If I had my -choice
between a mediocre team that owned
one wonderful pitcher, and a team
cluttered up with heavy hitters and
only a few ordinary twirlers, I would
choose the former team. And I be
lieve every other manager in the
game would do the same." ...
Leland Giants to
Play, the Brandeis
Fred Bradford will lug his Brandeis
crew across the waves for a game
this afternoon with the Joe Smiths of
Council Bluffs at the letter's new
park. The Smiths have a good team
this year , and expect , to give the
Omahans a run for honors.
Next Saturday "Gabby" Green will
bring his famous Leland Giants of
Chicago to Omaha for four games
with the Brandeis. One game will
be played Saturday and another Sun
day and a double-bill will be staged
the afternoon of July 4,
Manager Bradford's ambition to
carry the Brandeis through the sea
son without a defeat, bids fair to re
ceive a jolt with the appearance of
the dusky Chicagoans, who have re
cently been reinforced by the addi
tion of "Sunburnt" Kelly, one of the
star dinge slabmen of the country.

City Golf Tourney
To Start at Happy
Hollow Club Today
The first round of play in the an
nual city golf championship tourna
ment will be held at tne nappy noi
low club links today.
The play today will be thirty-six
holes. Eighteen holes will be played
this morning and eighteen this after

expected to break alt record's in the
number of players participating. The
Field, Happy Hollow and Country
clubs will furnish their usual large
quota of sharks and the Miller Park
and Prettiest Mile clubs are planning
to enter in force. It is probable half
a hundred golfers from the latter two
clubs will take part.
Sam Reynolds, Blaine Young,
Ralph Peters and John Redick are,
as usual, favorites, hut it wouldn't be
overly surprising if some of the newer
golfers should sup in and take some
of the laurels from the above named
quartet.
A week from today the final thirty
six holes of the tourney will be played
on the Country club course. .
Omaha Rifle Club Will

THERE ARE FIGHTERS .
WHO RIDE IN BIG
LIMOUSINES.
The soldier boys are on the go,
They're off for hot old Mexico,
They're hearts are gay and eyes are
bright.
They're heads are high and steps
are light,
And they are really going to fight,
For fifteen bucks a month.
But safe up here our pugilists,
Are throwing seven kinds of fits,
"We will not step into a ring,"
With accounts wild they bravely
sing, ,
"Unless we hear the shekels cling.
Ten thounsand for ten rounds."
The recruiting officer met the
pugilist on the street.
"Would you like to have a
fight?" he inquired.
"That's me, fighting is my mid
