Dillon's Not Forgotten

Indianapolis Fighter Was One of the Best

In Indianapolis these days sports daffinefs centers around the set shot dnd hot rod. The height of boyhood ambition is to captain the Butler basketball téam or win the 500Mile automobile race at the old Speedway. In another generation it was = different. Every kid for miles around wanted to fight Jack Dillon of Frankfort, Ind.

y And that’s Joe Williams not. hard: io understand. Ernest Cutler

Price, to give him his square Jnonicker, was one of the best the ring ever saw. Pound for pound there couldn't have been many who were ever better. He was one of an endless parade of great fighters I got to see as a youngster back home in Memphis when the stars stopped over on their way to California for championships. n n a HE WAS a handsome fellow of middleweight build with what we now call a crew haircut, fast on his feet and a double barreled puncher, a ScotchIrish farm product who had the looks and bearing of a college man. In later years I was to see ‘a football player, Doc ‘Blanchard of Army, who resembled him remarkably, facially and physically. Dillon never- took much money out of the ring because in his day, the early 1900's, the pay was. short, and of what he took he saved little, there being a wide disparity between his resolution in and out of the ring. He died in squalor and for reasons not clear the body was buried in Florida, though locals raised money to bring it here. Last time I saw him alive he was running a sandwich shop which was no more than a miserable shack on the road to

. Hialeah race track. This also was his living quarters.

Bob Smith, who had won the derby the year before with

. Cavalcade, and I had visited . With Him for half an hour or

so. As a fight manager, Smith had been a contemporary. It

was a tragic and unwholesome

adventure. ” 5 ” TO GIVE you an idea of how Dillon stood professionally

Beating the big boys was one of the best and most spectacu-

the greatest fight he ever turned in was against Frank Moran

way. : Moran could knock your brains out with a right hand and in the third round he had Dillon on the floor as the result of a clean hit, but the little fellow got up and at the end the Pittsburgh heavyweight was badly out and bleeding all over like a seven time leser at the track. That was the night the press row started calling Dillon the Giant Killer, the first time this expressive, if not too original tag was ever hung on an American fighter.

" ” Ld

ONE NIGHT Jim Corbett introduced Dillon to Sid Mercer, the sports writer in the old Friar's Club. “This is the fellow who made a bum .of me.” ~Pilton; ofcourse,” was too young to have fought the man who knocked out the mighty John L., but he had demolished Tom Cowler, an English heavyweight Corbett was touting as a world beater. Dillon knocked Cowler out in the second round with one punch, a left hook counter to the chin, much to Corbett's red faced embarrassment as he sat at the ring side in company with a group of pals from the theater. Some of our greatest fighters never held a title, Packey MecFarland. for one. Dillon belonged to the uncrowned champion set, too. One week he'd be fighting middleweights like Mike Gibbons, the next light heavies like

His best fights around here were Wwit¥We McFarland © and Wildcat Ferns. Freddie Welsh stopped him in the only fight he lost by a kayo.

He ran the thing himself, helped set up the tent in which it was held, distributed advertising cards, sold tickets, installed the ring. On the day of the fight a violent storm broke. And you know .what a storm can do to a resort town's business. ; # 8 on ONLY A few scattered hundred showed up. Bronson, out six years, was as bad as he figured to be. Britton simply toyed with him. But Bronson,

his promotion wrecked, his talents faded, tried with an earnest, heart-sick futility.

Dumb Dan Mogan, Britton's manager, made good the losses and staked him to $1000. The old timers were great in more ways than one.
