New York in their ten-round battle here. Dillon took the count of nine four times before the final blow and was on the floor for the fifth time unable to get up when the club physician stopped the bout.

Bantamweights to Battle in
Tom McCarey's Vernon Arena.
Two globe-girdling middle-weights,
who rose from the welter ranks while
sojourning In the Antipodes, yesterday signed a clash la a ten-round glove encounter Feb. 27 before the Moose Club of Hammond. One of the principals, Jimmy Clabby, is a native son and the home folks are making ready to turn out en masse. The other battler will be Ernie Zanders, who returned last Saturday from a falr-to-mlddlln' campaign In the Australian rings. Gary promoters were In town during the afternoon seeking talent for a show proposed for Feb. 20 and announced they would put on for the wind-up Art Stewart and Rudy Unhols, the lighft-
Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 12. With Eddie Campl, the popular little Frisco wasp, and Johnny ("Kid") Williams of
Baltimore as Tom McCarey's Lincoln day attraction at Vernon this afternoon, California fight goers probably will witness one of the best bantamweight events that has been seen on the coast. The betting is at even money. Williams comes with a startling good
record. His greatest achievement, of
course, was his ten-round bout with Champion Johnny Coulon, in which he was accorded first honors by a majority of the press. Williams shows con
siderable class, and is one of the most sturdy and well developed little fel-
lows I have seen.
Williams is surprisingly fast and
uite clever, but I question if his punch
is as terrific as generally credited.
Were tied up with the champion I
more than I do against Campl. Campl. the elongated, shifty little cuss, Is one! of the most clever, elusive, and slippery '
boxers I have ever seen. He doesn't j possess the study build 'of his oppo-1 nent, but he Is beautifully proportioned. Campl's cleverness Is in the knack of parrying blowB and warding them oft at a distance, instead of resorting to the more common close in blocking system. He ..dances around at all angles and, hits with startling regularity and accuracy. He reminds one of Packey
McFarland in style, and looks more
like him than his brother. True enough..
Campi lacks the one punch wallop, and seems a little defective in delivery of
blows, but in perfecting these points he no doubt would impede his speed.

South Bend Has Story That Hew Indi
ana-Illinois League Is To Be Found
That the Northern Indiana Baseball league will be an organization of the past this year, was the statement made by President W. J. McAleer thla morn
ing In an Interview with a Ths Times i reporter. "Instead of the N. I. league," said Mr. McAleer, "plans are being laid ahead to form an association known as the Trolley league, and will probably Include the cities of Hammond, South Bend, Michigan City, Crown Point, East Chicago. Gary, Whiting and Indiana Harbor, or any other city who wish to Join." "
rfey"Teague will be that all clubs who
propose to Join the league must be situated along some street car line or trolley route. -If this Idea is carried out and the interurban lines agree to run special cars and give special rates, it Is thought that the fans will show considerably more Interest and will plan to see out-of-town games. New bylaws and rules will be enacted and
other features added In an effort to see If the league can be made a success.
Although there was some excellent
talent In the N. I. league diving the
past two years and big money paid
for some of the batteries, the fans
failed to. take any real interest in their work. At some of the games there was only a mere handful of people, result
ing In the visiting team barely making expenses and the home team going into
the hole.

San Francisco, Feb. 12. The split between Ad Wolgast and his jinanager, Tom Jones, which has been at' a breaking point several times during the past two years, seems K . have actually happened. Jones is rushing pell-mell from Chicago to confer with tha former champion at Portland, but Ad has announced that there is little chance of patching up their differences.
Promoter Jimmy Coffroth paved the way for the Bplit when he went over Manager Jones' head and opened negotiations with Wolgast himself for the Tommy Murphy match on "Washlng-
tnn'i birthday. Then, when Wolgast
was tempted by the offer of $8,000 and
accepted, after Jones had advised against such a course, it naturally made "Cherokee Tom" much peeved
and perturbed. He must have taken Ad to task over the telegraph wires and it
ruffled up the former champion to such
riprree that he told Mr. Jones that
Mr. Wolgast was the money-maker of the firm and entitled to consideration.
Murphy has gone over to Oakland to start training for the coming encount
er. The New Yorker realizes the Importance of he bout and will work his hardest to get In first class shape.

BOXIiiG BILL IS IHTItOOUCEOJITSEIIATE Sen. Carroll Presents Measure Patterned After Frawley Law.
Springfield, 111., Feb. 12. In fulfillment of his announcement of last week Senator Patrick J. Carroll of Chi
cago yesterday introduced In the upper house a boxing measure, providing for . bouts in Illinois under the regulation : of three commissioners to be appointed by the governor. The commissioners will appoint one member chairman and one secretary, two members to constitute a quorum. They will be empow- . ered to act on all permits and It will be their duty to decide on the legality , of all bouts planned. ! The bill also provides that 5 per cent ' of the gross receipts of each bout shall go to the state and each club staging boxing shows will be compelled to fur- , nish a bond for $10,000. The commit. isioners will also be empowered to make and enforce such rules as may I be necessary to control the game in a I proper manner. The Carroll-Hilton bill, as it is called, is almost Identical with the Fraw- . ley measure which at present legalizes j boxing in New Tork state, and It is
said mefts with tn nrp-ovs o - large number of members in both the senate uud house, rne sjui.i ... bill declare there is little doubt but what it will be passed. They point to the fact that the Carroll bill of the last term received many favorable votes. Governor Dunne has' made no statement as'to whether or not he will approve a boxing bill.
