Cruising in Sportland

WORD has drifted from Boston that Ollie Marquardt, the young infielder the Red Sox obtained from Nashville, already is a holdout. Ollie. they say, is scheduled to battle it out with Rabbit Warstler, the erstwhile Indian, for the shortstop berth. Marquardt bought himself a silver fox farm, found it a bit expensive and now, it is insinuated, Is trying to make the lowly Red Hose foot the cost of raising some of those silver foxes. Nashville bought Ollie from Canton for $250 and Canton is where Warstler hails from. Ollie ought to have a hefty wallop with the willow, or else he’s going to do some bench warming for the Rabbit this season.

pan For although Warstler didn’t hit the size of his collar band last season with the Sox, it is indicated that they’re going to give the former Indianapolis idol another chance. With Babbit’s fielding ability, a mere .250 or .260 batting average should give him the job. a a a There were broken hearted fans galore In this village when the classy little shortstop packed his bags and headed Beantown way. Why, there were many who Just went to the ball park to sit back and watch the Rabbit do his stuff. He was good for a thrill a game in the field and it was worth the admission to see him alone. ana C CLEVELAND has taken on a J number of youngsters in the last few years.

Up the Trail of Glory With Jack Dillon

Jack Dillon became generally recognized as the light heavyweignt champion in 1913. He had defeated all claimants for the title held in abeyance since the reign of Tommy Bums as boss of the 175 pounders. Asa monetary asset the crown meant little or nothing to Dillon He failed to capitalize on it and continued to meet anybody, any time, any place. Battling Levinsky had been trying for years to earn a victory over the famous Dillon. The Jewish battler, who first met Dillon under the ring name of Earney Williams, but changed to Battling Levinsky and placed himself under the guidance of Dumb Dan Morgan, caught Jack out of condition in their twelve-round scrap in Boston, in October, 1916, and was awarded the decision. The usual aggressiveness that characterized Dillon’s previous bouts with the Battler was noticeable for its absence in this session. Levinsky remarked after the fight: “I knew if I ever was lucky enough to catch Jack out of condition I could beat him.” The bout was not billed as a championship affair, but it was understood that both boys were under the required 175 pounds weight. Dumb Dan, the "ballyhoo” manager, immediately began to pep things up in that heretofore lax division of the championship classes and loudly cheered the Hebrew battler as the “champeen.” The loss of the title meant little to the Hoosier Bearcat and he continued on his way. The years T 7 and T 8 were big one for Jack and he met such ring stars as Miske, Gunboat Smith, Harry Greb, Mike Gibbons, Bob Moha, Hugh Walker and Gus Christie, along with many others. Shortly after 1918 it was evident that the Giant Killer was on the down grade, and during*the waning years of his campaign, ’l9, ’2O, ’2l, the names of many lesser lights of fistiana mark the pages of his most marvelous ring record. Dillon had continued in the game that brought him world renown far longer than his physical condition warranted, and it was only upon the insistent demands of his

personal friends that he quit the ring forever. During the summer of 1920, Chuck Wiggins met the Jewish champion in a twelve-round battle in Dayton, O. But for a ridiculous decision that was nothing short of banditry, Chuck would have come home to Indianapolis in. possession of the title Jack once owned. Dillon acted as Wiggins’ adviser in this bout, and when introduced from the ring as the ex-light heavyweight champion received a tremendous ovation along with a hearty handshake and pat on the back from Levinsky. It was a demonstration of the esteem in which Jack was held by both fighters and fight fans the country over. The End
