Up the Trail of Glory With Jack Dillon

Considered the greatest piece of fighting machinery for his Inches that ever laced on a boxing glove, Ernest Cutler Price, nom de guerre Jack Dillon, was the recipient of such titles as the Hoosier Hurricane, the Hoosier Bearcat, the Man Killer, the Rib-Crusher and Jack the Giant Killer. And fitting sobriquets they were for this sturdy fighter who specialized in toppling the behemoths of the ring during his scintillating career. Bom in Frankfort, Ind., Peb. 2, 1891, Jack moved to Indianapolis when quite a youngster, and later was employed as a messenger boy. Shortly afterward, at the tender age of 17, when most of our modem youth still are deep in pursuit of the classics by day and endeavoring to master the latest fox trot at night, he launched into a ring campaign that was destined to bring him fame

and fortune and recognition as light heavyweight champion. “Say, there’s a kid that’s got the real stuff in him,” was a general remark of fans who witnessed Jack in his premier bouts. Dillon’s earliest fights manifested an attitude of ambition to excel and a desire to win, and in his first bout convinced the local sports fraternity he meant business. Possessed of a remarkable body, muscles that never seemed to tire, a wonderful set of underpinning, a fighting heart and the ability to rise to super-human efforts in a crisis, Jack had marvelous assets in his strenuous ring campaign. During his long and spectacular career, covering some fourteen years, Jack had earned a neat fortune, In spite of the fact purses were far, far below the present-day scale of wages for even mediocre gladiators. When compelled through illness (which left him little control of his limbs) to forsake the ring for all time, Dillon was in a poor way as far as riches were concerned. His fortune slipped away much easier than it was accumulated. A bad business venture had proved rather costly to him, and so after more than 200 ring battles, Jack found himself where he started—financially.
