Trying to pick the winner of the | Moran-Dillon bout to-night is an in- teresting problem. The Willard- songs on one record for 85c¢, lay on any machine. Hundreds Is your name Moran affair was easy. Moran look- ed to be outclassed from every angle, and no one who was not unduly in- fluenced by the Pittsburger's pleas- ing personality went Wrong. But there are so many angles to the pres- ent match it is hard to arrive at a de- finite conclusion. | The one thing reasonably sure is| that there will not be a knockout. Dillon is not a knocker-out, and Mo- ran, although he swings a heavy right hand, is too slow to finish such | a masterly staller as Dillon is when he elects to play safe. If the bout] Is to be decided on points Dillon | would appear to have the advantage, | for he is acknowledged to be the su-| perior boxer. THEIR SPECTACULAR WORK. From Now Om the Fans May Look For a Shrinking in Scores and Batting Averages, Two no-hit games, a one-hit game and a two-hit game or so within the span of a week in one of the major leagues indicates that in Spite of weather handicaps the season has progressed to the point where the pitchers are beginning to assert themselves, and from now on we may look for a shrinking of scores and batting averages, with the twirling department ¢laiming the 80 per cent, that Addie Joss said is its portion. Alibis will be offered for week oat- ting, of course. The blame will be laid to grand stand shadows, sky grey fences, advertising signs what not, but the real reason will be the old-time mastery of the pitcher over the batter and nothing else. Whether the fan public would pre- fer free hitting to tight pitching is anothér question and one that others ARE STILL IN THE GREAT PEN. © © NANT FIGHT { ol Few. of the Followers of Dodgers Care to Predict Pennant for Team Even with the Season Nearly Half Over. With the season more than one- third over, critics are still fighting among each other trying to select the dangerous from the weak clubs in the National League. Managers of the clubs are prone to acknow- ledge strength in opponents, but as to their own entry they are mighty careful to keep quiet, or as the old saying goes, say nothing but saw wood. Although Wilbert Robinsfn's co- horts are successfully evading all attacks and are well out fn front, few outside of Brooklyn partisans care to predict a pennant for t | Superbas.
