jack Dillon Gives Sailor Lacing Whenever He Can Catch Him.

TOMMY DILLON "COMES BACK"

Holds Own With Eddie Hart, Who Put Him Away In Their First Go—Purrell

Wins.

By Right Jab.

In a combination running race, hugSing match and' goodness knows what all, Jack Dillon bested Gus "Sa'lor" Einert In their ten round affair at the ball yard last night. Einert was the chief offender and his hugging anti sprinting had anything beat that we know of. True, he stayed tiie lim't, but if he accomplished anything tlss it escaped notice during the sprinting race which featured the sett'o.

One thing certain, had the Beai'cat been able to sprint 100 yards in 10 seconds flat he might have nailed the Sailor to the cross, but he wasn't there in that respect and the best he got was a lop-sidea decision. Jack tried for a while to put away his opponent, but he finally became aware of the fact that Einert was a second William liOffle pacer, and was content to maul his rival whenever he happened to overtake him.

It was so funny that it was good and the cries of "stop it" which oegan in the second session soon changed to "run your "head off," etc. But the Sailor would simply grin, turn on his toes and away he would go. Toward the last the fans expressed a desire to see him weather the gale to the end which he did by displaying a remarkafcle outburst of sprinting ability.

Gives Einert Lacing.

Strictly speaking, Dillon gave Einert a lacing he will Ions remember, but the Aurora, 111., battler was game to the core and what ever else he lacked it was not gameness. He did cover a lot oCterritory in getting away from thw-tfToosler, but when cornered would make a stand and take all that Dliion could administer. And Jack didn't spare the "Sucker," although he couldn't get many clean swings at him owing to a crouch which the Sailor fell into when up against it.

Many figured Einert a false alarm after the first three minutes of milling and departed, but those who refused to quit until the finish were treated to A contest, the equal of which was never before witnessed in this neck of the universe. Far be it from us to give the impression that the setto was all thct it should of been, but those who enjoy a hearty laugh got their inoney'S worth.

Disgust was apparent on Dillon's countenance as the affair drew to a close, while Einert had a smile that wouldn't come off. So did the fans and it was a happy bunch of fistic fans who hiked homeward after the Labor day show.

The opening mixup was captured by Bud Purrell, the south-9ider putting Josey Nelson out of commission in the second round. Bud had the Indianapolis voungster all but out and to escape the K. O. Nelson's seconds tossed In the sponge or rather the towel, there being no sponges this side of the nearest drug store. The local product had the upper hand throughout and realiy dlsplaved quite a bit of class. Properly handled. Bud should be neard from in faster company than Nelson proved to be.

Dillon Comes Back.

They say a boxer never comes back after the count, but that's just what Tommy Dillon did in his ten round semi-windup with Eddie Hart, the local Dutchman. Hart apparently had liis mind on the war nOw raging in Germanv for he fought far below form and "Dillon, who lost to him in their first encounter via the K. 0. route, came through with colors flying.

Over-confidence played a part in Hart's failure to repeat his initial success. He was careless as could be in the first few chapters while toward the finish he couldn't hit his stride. He rallied a trifle in the closing round, but not enough to accomplish any grext amount of harm. Dillon was 50 per cent better than before and put up a good, consistent battle from the first gong until the end. He didn't lose his noodle at anv stage, although in the seventh Hart 'shoved him through the ropes and into the crowd, and much credit goes to the boy who demonstrated that It is possible to "come back."

The big mvstery of the whole affair Is how Einert stayed the limit. He took an awful mauling, but was smiling at the finish.

The Terre Haute Maroons lost to the Malleable Specials yesterday, 4 to 3.

MM FINISH IN FOURTH POSITION

Pack Wins One and Ties One in Final Bill of 1914 Central League Season.

By Ralph H. White.

It's all over and the Terre-irs of 1914 will go down as fourth placerB In a Ave-club league.

The double windup, staged before a goodly sized Labor day crowd, resulted in a Terre-ir win, 5 to 4, and a tie contest, 5 to 5, called at the end of the liftli because of darkness. Both games were better than the ordinary, the pack snatching the opener out of the fire in the ninth by chasing home three runs and knotting the count in the last stan2a of the aftermath by shoving four markers around. Said finishes served to end the campaign in a burst of glory despite the lowly position in which the Terre-^-s landed.

Leonard Madden and Jake Fromholtz were the rival slabbists in the initial combat with the latter having the edge until the closing chapter in which Tommy Sheehan, star Central league slugger, delivered his last pinch hit. -At that, slow work in the right pasture gave the enemy at least two tallies and Madden richly deserved to end his career as he started it—in victory.

Art Nehf and "Peaches" Graham stacked up in a duel of southpaws in the second setto and there was no verdict when Umps Harry Geisel called off diamond warfare for the season. True, the visitors rapped the home product with considerable force, but a fifMi inning spurt evened the going and a draw was the result.

How the runs were scoied: FIRST GAME. Terre-lrs. Second inning—Vann started with a single and took third when Fromholtz pegged wild to second on Spair's sacrifice. Davis skied out to deep center, Vann crossing after the catch. Anderson was a victim, but Quinlan tripled to right, Spair counting. Two hits, two runs.

Ninth inning—Davis opened with a single and Anderson worked the Eva twirler for a pass. Quinlan's sacrifice was cuffed around by Fromholtz, vho flnallv threw to third too late to nip Davis. Cantwell clubbed for Madden, but was a sky-line victim. Gray played out his string and got a walk, forc'.njr in Davis. Sheehan then cracked one too hot for Fromholtz to handle, Anderson going over. The Eva heaver then pegged wide to first, Quinlan scoring the winning tally. Two hits, three runs.

Evas,

Fourth inning'—Knoll was hit by a pitched ball and Hauger singled. Grafe forced Hauger at second, but Madden missed Baker's bunt, loading the hassock«. Kibble then poked to right and I Spair held the ball long enough to permit Knoll and Grefe to register. His belated chuck was grabbed in by Vann, who heaved to second in an effort to nail Kibble. The throw was wild and

Baker went home. Two hits, throe

Eighth inning—Knoll singled and stole." Hauger and Grefe were killed off but Baker singled, scoring his boss. Two hits, one run.

SECOND GAME. Terre-lrs.

Fourth inning—Vann doubled to begin with and counted on Anderson's hit after two Terre-irs had been 'retired. Two hits, one run.

Fifth inning—Matthews booted Madden's skipper and Gray connected. S'heehan fouled out, but Kyle and Vann walked, forcing in Madden. Spair binsled, Gray Chalking up. Davis l'fted out, Kyle beating it over after the catch. Anderson then cut in with a «dnf?le, Vann going home with the final 1914 marker. Three hits, four runs.

Evas.

Second inning—Tepe. Kibble. Hauser and Graham singled, the first named scor'ng. Matthews rolled to Gray, who hooted. Kibble completing the circuit. Four hits, two runs.

Fourth inning—Matthews biffed to right and after two outs pilfered second, marking up on Grefe's Slam to ieft. Two hits, one run.

Fifth inn

ng—Kibble singled and

rode home on Hauser's long double. Graham then put his battery pal over with a single to left. Three hits, two runs.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

RIVERS GETS VERDICT

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept 8.—Joe Rivers met quite a surprise Monday in Willie "Beecher, and though he got away with a twenty round decision, there were many in the big cro^wd that thought a draw more equitable and still others who held that Beecher should have been given the verdict Rivers fought his best, but none of his blows seemed to have any effect on the New Yorker, who constantly bored in for more.

Beecher was by far the better at close range, and his body blows slowed the Mexican down several times. Rivers had an undisputed advantage in only two rounds. The same might oe said of Beecher, but in general the latter did the most fighting.

Neither was knocked off his feet, nor did either show very strong symptoms of tiring at the finish. Rivers' science did him no good, because his blows seemed to lack sufficient steam to dent Beecher. The latter had no science at all, but hit like a middleweight. Rivers was a 10 to 7 favorite, but little money was wagered.

William Fails To Set a New Record

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Sept. 8.—William, champion pacer, failed in an effort Monday to establish a world's record for a mile at the opening of the Indiana state lair. A brisk breeze and the absence of a pacemaker is said to have hampered the champion, which negotiated the distance in 2:01^4.

Right Jabs

Tommy Scanlon refereed the last two bouts. The Brazil boy proved satisfactory.

George Grammeil handled the prelim and was a dandy "third man in the ring."

As an announcer one must hand it to Sammy Finklestein. He took in a lot of territory in making his speeches, but got away with it all O. K.

Dillon had Einert in a bad wav in the second round and appealed to Referee Scanlon to stop It, but the "boss" couldn't see it and the "Sailor" got another breathing spell.

There's no getting around the fact that Einert is as game as they make 'em. He took a lacing that would have caused two-thirds of the middleweights of today to quit and quit in a hurry.

Dillon stated after the bout that he intended taking sprinting lessons in the near future. Not a bad idea.

What became of Izzy Brill, the Indianapolis scribe, who predicted that the Bearcat would be in his street clothes in about nine minutes of boxing?

One thing sure, Einert surprised the fans by staying the limit

For a loser, the Sailor was given some hand'' after the final gong.

Dividing a double bill, the Braves and the Giants are still on even footing in the National.

Looks as if Tyler, of the Braves, has lost his grip. He has been roughly treated the last two times out.

paved the way for a forenoon victory for the Braves over the Giants. Bet that hit made Josh sore.

But one Labor day bill was postponed, the K. C.-St. Louis Federal league affair.

Doak, former Central leaguer, registered another triumph yesterday, beating the Pirates, 7 to 4. The Cards lost the second setto, 2 to 1.

The Phillies and Cubs were two-time winners in the National, the former aggregation downing the Superbas in two and the Windy City crew crushing the Reds in a like manner.

Notice who pitched the second game for the Reds? None other than our old Evansville friend, Paul Fittery. He held the Cubs to six hits, losing, 3 to 1.

Strunk, of the Athletics, robbed Bently of a no-hit game yesterdav morning, getting the only bingle secured off the Washington flinger. Incidently the rival forces split.

Balks—Fittery, two. Evidently the southpaw was a trifle scared.

Mord Brown had am off day yesterday, lasting less than two rounds apainst the Pittsburgh Feds. Rudy Soinmers was another hurler to get his during the setto which was finally won by Brooklyn, 12 to 11.

Joe Jackson, up nine times yesterday, secured but one htt. Ty Cobb did little better, tearing off but one bingle in six trips to the plate.

Splitting with the Yanks, the Red Soic failed to gain on the Athletics yesterday.
