Frank Klaus Beats
Jack Dillon, But Go
Lacks Dash and Pep
NEW YORK, May 4 Jack Dillon, of
Indianapolis, is out of the running as a
middleweight champion aspirant as a
result of his defeat last night by Frank
Klaus, of Pittsburg. In eight of the ten
rounds of the contest, which was helej
in Madison Square, ihe sturdy Pitts
burger beat his rival. While It was not
a whirlwind fight, both men exhibited
their best points.
Klaus hit Dillon often in the face and
in the body, but in the seventh round
ihe Hoosier tried to rally and gave his
besl exhibition of dash throughout tin
mill. Klaus won by punching Dillon
until he was tired. There was plenty
of action in every round.
The big crowd that thronged the
Garden looked for a knockout, for the
word had been passed around that It
was a ' grudge'’ tight and when the final
bell tapped there were growls of dis
appointment.

Sam Crane Compares Training
Methods of Big League Teams
By Sam Crane.
NEW YORK. May 4. The un
fortunate predicament that
the Yankee? and Phillies
find themselves in by their best
players being all shot to pieces,
mostly by reason of illness, has
brought up the wail that the spring
training Indulged in so extensively
by all big league clubs is hardly
worth the candle.
Doubtless much of the sickness
was caused by bad weather expe
rienced in the South this spring,
but with proper care much of the
illness could have been prevented.
The Giants arrived back in New
York, all enjoying the best of
health and in as perfect physical
condition to start tire champion
ship season as any body of well
trained athletes could* possibly be.
AfcGraw was not influenced at
all. cither, into having the doctor
accompany the team to Marlin by
reason of rumors of an epidemic of
meningitis in Texas.
The system of training he fol
lowed this spring was exactly the
same he always has since he man
aged the Giants He knows that if
the players take halfway decent
rare of themselves that there is no
more danger to their health while
training in the South than in the
North, nor as much, for that mat
ter. Texas weather this spring was
fully as bad as that experienced
elsewhere in llie South.
Some parts of Arizona. I know
from experience, would model
training places, hut the expenses of
such a long trip would be enor
mous. and with no financial returns
and no chance afforded to play op
posing clubs, and that Is a neces
sity.
If other managers would adopt
McGraw's plan of looking out so
route Nothing could he more
pleasing to the Stock Yards Irish
man. for only this morning his
manager declared that such a con
tract could easily be arranged.
There may be some liitch on the
weight question for this big fight,
but the getting together of their
managers will soon tell that
Paekey says he will do 133 pounds

Manager Thiry ridicules the idea
that Paekey must now steo into the
welterweight class. "Paekey will
never be able to fight a real good
man at 133 pounds ringside, tills J
admit." said Thirv last qfght. "hut

carefully for the health of his play
ers as he does, and at the same
time watch their playing form,
there would be fewer sick ones on
their hands when their services are
most needed.
There Is ever so much more in
spring training than merely the
throwing and batting of the ball.
One great trouble with profes
sional ball players, old or young, is
that they neglect their health,
largely through the carelessness
that all athletes In perfect health
seem to have. They are averse to
taking the necessary medicines that
are requisite to keep them In good
physical condition, especially In the
spring, and usually have to be
forced into taking the most com
monplace precautions They will
nurse their arms, legs and muscles
most carefully, but do not seem to
have even a common sense regard
for their internal mechanism. They
are. In fact, like growing children
who have to be watched by their
mothers.
