DILLON AND LEVINSKY TO BOX
IN FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT
HELD IN THE EAST SINCE 1900
r
Light Heavyweights Will Clash for Title in 15-
Round Bout at Baltimore to Decision With
Billy Rocap as Referee
. Dy ItOHERT
FOR tho first tlmo Binco tno repeat 01 mo
Jlorton law, way back In 1900, a cham
pionship battle will bo put on In tbo East,
when Jack Dillon meets Battling Levlnsky
In naltlmoro next Thursday afternoon. It
will bo ft IB-round
bout for the light
heavyweight o It ft m -plonshlp
of tho world,
and tho reforco will
pick tho winner at the
end, providing, o t
course, that thu fuss
lasti tho limit and
there la a winner left
to pick.
Thero has been somo
mlx-up In tho date sot
for tho bis scrap, but
las.t reports have It
that the principal-) will
appear In tho arena
,mltnr1l ntlAFIIAntl tit
n, Yf. WAXWn-lA 0-Cock--remember
the Jlato nnd tho time and tho placo will
bo the Orlolo Dall Park wherever that Id.
Date Is Shifted
When nrrangemonta first wore mndo to
stngo tho battle, Tuesday, July 11. wb the
date agreed upon. Thon It wan changed to
Friday, tho 14th, nnd now it has been
shoved up a day to catch tho crowd that
will march In tho big Elks' parade on
Thursday. In case of rain tho bout will bo
held on the following oenlng.
Dillon and Levlnsky nro two of tho clov
rest big men In tho boxing gnmo today.
They havo mot every ollglblo person In
their class and now that thoy'ro all Bono
they had to plok on ono another. Hut this
will not bo tholr first meeting oh, yes, they
havo met before, but not so many times na
wo are led to bellovo. Somo wlso persons
assert that this will bo tho eleventh fight
botween tho pair, but they aro wrong. Dillon
mid Levlnsky havo met only Bcvon times
nnd this will bo tho eighth. Jack has tho
majority of tho decisions, but the Battler
has a couplo to his credit, and this next
meeting will bo "for keeps."
First JUcetins in 1911
Nlolt Hayes nnco remarked: "Philadelphia
to th' homo of th' Declaration of Inde
pendence th' Liberty Bell nn' Battling Le
vlnsky." Nlok Is right. Tho Battler wan
tiorn right hero In our own city, nnd In hlo
early days was known as Bernard C. Lebo
Wltz. Bernard h:rt n quarrelsome disposi
tion, so ho took up boxing for a livelihood
and operated under tho name of Barney
Williams. Ho usod this monlkor when ho
first met Mr. Dillon socially ut tho National
A- C. on October 23, 1011. It was a no-do-Cislon
affair, hut Banioy received the popu
lar verdict. They met again two years later
In Rochester, N. Y., but It was only a la
round tcto-a-tcto, whero both men claimed
they won.
Since that tlmo thy havo met In Now
York, Kansas City and Indianapolis and
throaton to break tho record set by Sam
Langford and Joe Joanotto, who hae mot
14 times by actual count nnd nro ready to
fight again at a moment's notice.
Dillon's clean-cut victory ovor Frank
Moran makes him tho favorite, but ho will
Jiavo to go Bomo to win Thursday night.
Tho fighting sheriff from Stratford Levln
sky Is one of them there constables In
Connecticut, by heck Is as fast as n llght
tyolght and posoossos enough cleverness to
last E0 rounds with Jess Wlllard when Jes3
Is going good. Ho la n finished boxer and
has a good chance to win on points It Jack
tho Slugger doesn't wallop him on the chin.
' Rocap Will Referee i
That there w ' bo n fair decision handed
put has been assured by the appointment
Of William II. Rocap, sports editor of tho
' Public Ledger, as referee. Tho appointment
was made by the pollco authority after
l,elnsky and Dillon turned down tho nibl
tcrs In Baltimore.
In view of tho importance of the bout, It
Vas a difficult matter to select a capable
Teferce. Thcro are hundreds with experi
ence (n no-doclslon battles, but fow who
jiavo the ability to give n decision at tho
end. Rocap Is ono of tho best ring officials
In the country, and has officiated in sovcral
championship bouts. Ills last big battle
wns botween Kid Williams and Kid Heri
man In New Orleans last winter, when ho
had the norvo to call tho battle a draw
despite the frantic shouts of tin-horn gam
blers, -who insisted that Herman won the
fight. After ronderlng the decision, Rocap
wont through tho howling mob and walked;
just as fast as if ho were promenading
on Chestnut street. He gives his decisions
as he sees thorn and that is the reaon he
was selected for tho coming championship
(lit
Jttiko Collins Fired
Mike Collins lias talked himself out of a
job. After spilling conversation all over
the United States and claiming the heavy
weight championship of tho world for l'red
Fulton when Wlllard declined to meet his
man, Mr. Fulton took it upon himself to
attach tho tinware to his manager. In
other -words, Mike has ban .canned nnd a
person named 1'ra.nk R, Force has been
appointed his successor. Fred la very sore
At Collins and has a long list of complaints
against him. He has n contract with Miko.
but 'tis only n scrap of paper nnd It win
bo legally busted as soon as possible.
It's a good think MIHe Eft Hie hook, for
had he remained much longer in the lime
light, we would ha,ve laughed ourselves to
death.
Mike Is n very sincere person wo will
have to hand him that but he la carrying
It a trifle too far when he takes his pen In
hand and admits that Jess Wlllard la afraid
to meet Ferooloua Ferdinand for a purse
of tso.ooo. Tha only reason nig jess is
doftglns the match Is because the manage,
ment of his circus, refuses, to allow the. star
performer to take a chance of getting
arretted for murder.
SXllton has mado a very sad showing thus
fax,. He clalma wo victories over Wlllard,
hut there la nothing inO01 trd books
to prove it. Wq are. aware, however, that
Fred boxed Chicken, Al Reich In New York
last April and won. the bout because Mr,
Reich refused to fight. Jim Coffey, Frank
jjoran nd ether heavyweights, can beat the
tall plasterer, so where does he get off with,
that champlonnhln stuftH Jf Fulton, ever
met Wlllard and the battle was on the
square he would tako the part of Pat

If there's one thing more than another that sours a man
against motoring and makes him wish he'd stuck to the
horse-and-buggy, it's having to dig down every week or so
to pay for some darned thing that has gotten out o' kelter.
Correct lubrication will help to keep your car out of the repair
shop and your hand out of your purse.
Atbntio Polarlna is "correct lubrication"
for eight out of ten cars. Under certain con
ditions, ono of tho other three principal motor
oils-Atlantic, "Light," Atlantic "Medium" or
Atlantic "Hoavy" may give better results.
Out, in all events, at least one of those four
oils is tho ono. best, suited to, your particular
needs. Ask your Barageman which.

GOLF BLOOMERS OF FAIR SEX
IMITATE MASCULINE KNICKERS
IN FAR WEST LINKS FASHION
By SANDY
A DISPATCH from the sunset side of this
jTj. country brenks the news to tho world
that feminine golfors thero havo blossomed
out In bloomers when playing tho links
nnd that tho new fnshlon, started nt the
Ardsley (Okl.a.) Country Club, has been re
ceived with much favor.
The now costume consist of a uniform
similar to Vat worn In this city by girl
basketball p vers.
Instead of' -ubber-soled rhoc3, however,
tha athletic gt. er of tho West has adopted
heavy spiked oots teaching kneownrds.
The costtltno li. said to be tho height of
comfort and commonsense.
It bids fair to eliminate entirely the
binding nnd uncomfortable skirt
The new fnshlon haa not reached this
part of tho country na yet. Tho short
skirt style, similar to the nttlro of tho cow
girl of tho tnoUcs, Is to bo found Infre
quently In the West, but tho feminine
hrnnd of the masculine kntckors Is some
thing new. Tho heavy boots nro urged for
